Indianapolis Colts: Mike Pouncey should be a target at 2011 NFL Draft
This past offseason the Colts cut offensive guard Ryan Lilja with hopes of improving the offensive line. Well things didn’t quite go as planned Lilja signed with the Kansas City Chiefs and helped them lead the league in rushing while the Colts finished 29th overall. Center Jeff Saturday isn’t getting any younger and this offensive line lacks toughness when it comes to running...

Vinatieri, must keep for Colts in 2011
Peyton Manning was the most important player the Colts had to be keep this offseason, but when it comes to the other free agents there is none more important than kicker Adam Vinatieri. During his time as an Indianapolis Colt he has contributed quite a bit especially in the Colts Super Bowl run where he made a single game record five field goals…twice.
This past season Vinatieri...

Indianapolis Colts Release Safety Bob Sanders
On Friday morning the Indianapolis Colts made a stunning move by releasing oft-injured safety Bob Sanders.
Sanders, who will turn 30 next week, was one of the best safeties in the NFL when healthy. But that was always the problem with Sanders: health.
In seven seasons with Indianapolis, Sanders played in more than 10 games only twice, and never played a full 16-game season. He played...

2011 NFL Draft Prospectus: Indianapolis Colts options at 22
The 2011 NFL Draft could become one of the most dissected in the history of the game. If the owners and Players’ Association cannot agree on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement before the Draft, teams will be seriously handicapped with their ability to trade players and picks, meaning this spring’s Draft could be the lightest on trades and heaviest on criticism ever.

The Dallas Clark Effect
One of the nice storylines that developed during the Colts tough march to the playoffs in 2010 was the emergence of tight end Jacob Tamme. After barely smelling the field through six weeks, many fans felt he was a savior of the season’s second half.
Deeper digging into the numbers indicates, however, that Dallas Clark is still the most important player on the Colts offense...

Will the Colts Keep Joseph Addai for Next Season?
Joseph Addai’s first two seasons in the league were fantastic. He ran for 1,081 rushing yards in his rookie season, along with two very big games for his career. He had a career-day against the Philadelphia Eagles in the regular season, rushing for over 175 yards with four touchdowns in a 45-24 victory. Addai would also have a great game, rushing for great yards in the Super Bowl...

Colts Drop Jaguars, 34-24, To Lead AFC South
It was a huge game for the Indianapolis Colts. This game would mean everything for the team’s playoff hopes as they face the Jacksonville Jaguars. Entering the game, Indy trailed one game behind in the AFC South division to the Jags with a 7-6 record. A win today would mean a division lead. And they did that, taking every second as their last, topping them with a 34-24 victory...

Colts Finally Back On Track as Manning Leads Team to 30-28 Win Over Titans to Stay in Playoff Hunt
If the Indianapolis Colts were to lose this game, they would have to win the rest of their regular season games and hope that the Jacksonville Jaguars would lose one or two of their remaining games. But now, there is no need to worry about that. After a three-game slump, Peyton Manning’s two touchdowns (and zero interceptions!) helped lead the team to a 30-28 thriller over the...

Colts Look To Get Back to Shape As They Take On Titans
Though the Indianapolis Colts have been struggling for the past few weeks, they need to get back on track against the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night. Peyton Manning has thrown eleven interceptions and wasn’t his old self, but the Colts are still in the playoff-race as they trail one game behind the Jacksonville Jaguars with a 6-6 record. If Indianapolis wins this game and beats...

Dominc Rhodes Returns To Colts
When Dominic Rhodes had his first season with the Indianapolis Colts, he was filling in for Edgerrin James, who was out for the season. Rhodes played great, earning himself 1,000 rushing yards. Rhodes would become the primary back-up back to James from 2001-2005. James would leave for the Arizona Cardinals the season later. With this, Rhodes and Joseph Addai would team up to make...

Should the Colts Consider Signing At Least Two Free Agents?
Things haven’t been looking good for the Indianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning has been struggling, especially with his offense as he loses three important key players to the powerhouse in Joseph Addai, Austin Collie, and Dallas Clark. To me, Indy seems fine at tight end and are capable of making the playoffs with Jacob Tamme starting. But without Addai and Collie, it just can...

Peyton Manning Struggles Again As Cowboys Top Colts In OT, 38-35, Thanks To Manning’s Crucial Pick
Peyton Manning did it again. He threw a bunch of interceptions, just like last week. He threw four interceptions along with two touchdowns. Overall, he was 36-of-48 for 365 yards, finishing up with a 75.4 rating. It was way better than last week, however, the fourth pick would be the worst of it. With overtime in, the Colts made a great defensive stop on Dallas to force a punt. Indy...

Struggling Colts Look to Get Back On Track Versus Improved Cowboys at Home
Peyton Manning had one of the worst games of his career, and so did the Indianapolis Colts at home. It was one of the worst home games for the team in a little over a decade ago when they lost to the Seattle Seahawks, 31-3. Manning threw a season-high four interceptions as the San Diego Chargers cruised towards a 36-14 victory. The Chargers seem to be the new Patriots to Manning...

Manning, Colts Struggle Against Chargers 36-14 At Home, Fall To 6-5
Not even Peyton Manning could save the Indianapolis Colts in this game. Last week, we know it wasn’t all his fault. But this week, it was just a struggle and a sign of frustration from the four-time MVP. Manning has been struggling with interceptions, now having nine of them in his last four games and seven in his last two. This is not the type of Manning we are accustomed to....

Manning, Colts Set To Shake Off Loss Last Week, Set Things Straight Against Chargers
The Indianapolis Colts were in the red zone, looking for a touchdown to win the game or possibly tie the game to go into overtime with the New England Patriots. Peyton Manning dropped back, got hit from the side. It looked as if he was aiming for Pierre Garcon in the end zone, but the ball was intercepted. Game over, Patriots win, 31-28. But this shows Indianapolis can win games...

Manning Disappoints at End As Colts Fall Short to Patriots, 31-28
For the past three weeks, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has not been the same Peyton Manning. The stats may show today that he played well, going 38-of-52 for 396 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions, along with a 96.3 rating; he didn’t.
Tom Brady barely came out on top as the New England Patriots squeaked out with a 31-28 victory at home. It was like...

The New England Patriots were up, 34-28. The Indianpolis Colts came back in the game and were looking to win the game with about two minutes to go in this crazy Sunday Night match-up.
It was fourth-and-two. It was a big decision. Should they punt it and let Peyton Manning drive down the field and possibly end the game? Or should they go for a risky fourth-down. If they accomplish...

Collie Doesn’t Want to Talk About Concussion
In the 26-24 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Austin Collie had one of the most violent hits in probably NFL history. Collie was hit hard by two Eagle defenders in the head. He laid motionless and got knocked out before he even hit the ground! That’s how badly hurt Collie was.
Thanks to his new helmet, which was a newly-designed one made by Schutt, Collie is now safe and most...
