2009 Kentucky Positional Football Outlook: Tight Ends

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:59:20 -0500

Following in the footsteps of Jacob Tamme, last season was really the first time that T.C. Drake, Maurice Grinter and Ross Bogue got to see the field consistently. As the offense struggled in the 2008, so did the tight ends. Their run blocking execution was not where it needed to be and is one reason why a running game, which was supposed to be a strength, never took off. The passing game last year was so inexperienced that it was tough for anyone to step up, especially the tight ...

Answers To Some Questions

Wed, 11 Mar 2009 19:59:47 -0500

Around the interwebs this week, I’ve heard some questions being brought up about the Colts. Will Jamie Silva be called up from the practice squad to replace Bob Sanders and maybe Matt Giordano? Will Keyunta Dawson play? Are Dallas Clark and Jeff Saturday healthy? The Indy Star has the answers to those questions. Question 1: Silva coming up? Answer-Maybe. Dungy said that there is a possibility that the Colts will get another safety, but that would mean...

SNF Live-Blog: Bears @ Colts, 2nd Half

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 22:52:33 -0500

More Pey-Pey to bring us back, as the Colts are down at the half -- to all our surprise, really. The Colts' offense looks stunted right now -- there is some inevitable truism about not getting snaps in the pre-season for Peyton and the first team. Based on what I've heard on NBC tonight, I'm assuming when Brady goes on IR he'll take over the uniform patch and field adornment from Gene Upshaw. - Anon I don't care who you are. That's just funny. You think next week Chri...

The Colts were impressive last week against Washington, but this game will show whether that was a fluke or if some of these players really are going to be contributors.

Pitcock Quits, So It’s Time For Another Roster Prediction

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 01:50:17 -0500

Quinn Pitcock has retired from professional football.? I guess he pulled a Ricky Williams.??Indy still hold his rights, so if he would change is mind like Brett Favre, he would have to play for the Colts.? Good thing that this happened at arguably our deepest position.? I'm sure some of the other defensive tackles can make this whole ordeal be forgotten.? Eric Foster, Keyunta Dawson, Darrell Reid, and Ed Johnson should do the trick. Since Pitcock quit, and I have read some info about who&...

6 Rookies Sign

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:39:36 -0500

Three rookies have now signed.? One of them is undrafted. Sam Giguere, the French-Canadian wide receiver, signed a two year contract with an option for a third.? Here is the original article for all of you French scholars, and here is the poorly translated version via Babel Fish. Also, Jacob Tamme and Mike Pollak have signed.? Both of them will contend for starting jobs, so their arrivals at the beginning of camp would have been vital. UPDATE: Mike Hart, Steve Justice, and Marcus Howard have ...

Final Pre-Training Camp Colts Roster Prediction

He better not blow it.? Adam Tafralis and Josh Betts are cr...

Rosey Passes on Indy, 4 Waived, and An Updated Roster Preview

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:26:53 -0500

Long title, short blog.? In some lucky news, Rosevelt Colvin passed on the Indianapolis Colts to sign with the Houston Texans.? This surprised me, as Indianapolis is his home town.? He even has a house in the area.? The money was almost certainly the deciding factor.? My guess is the Colts offered him a veterans minimum contract while the Texans offered one of a much higher value.? I'm glad he passed on the Colts.? With all of the injuries the Colts had last season, adding an injury prone...

Which Rookie Will Make the Biggest Impact?

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 20:43:05 -0500

On my previous site, Pro Colts-Stuff, I started a poll on which rookie would make the biggest impact next season.? Every rookie was an option.? Here is the results in order.

Fbkid's AFC South draft grades

Sat, 17 May 2008 08:05:59 -0500

It is the second installment of my draft grades and it is time to head to the AFC South. This could be the toughest division in all of football as 3 out of 4 teams made the playoffs. All of these teams have had success building through the draft so it should be tight race for who gets the best grade. Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jaguars needed to address the defensive line heading into the draft and they did a good job focusing on it during day one. The Jaguars traded up to number 8 and sel...
