How do you feel the Colts are going to do this season with all the big changes that are being made(i.e. New head coach, def coordinator, special teams, Harrison)? I know Marvin may come back but at this point he is gone

I have hopes of all the changes being improvements and basically picking up from last season with Caldwell working with Dungy for so many seasons making it a smooth transition.

Tom Moore isnt going anywhere so the offense i feel wont be lacking that bad O-line should be healthy so Addai should be able to perform much better taking pressure off of Manning. Basically I feel the offense should be phenomonal so long as we stay healthy...good luck on that one. I dont worry about Marvin being gone as that big of a loss, the past two seasons he has been going down, but i dont necessarily believe it is all old age. I feel we should be able to pick someone up in place of harrison put Gonzalez in the slot and not hurt to bad since Wayne is our #1 now any how. Although this may end with Harrison coming back and then the issue would be solved. I still feel like Harrison has plenty of game left in his tank and probably will still be worth a double team next year depending on where he goes

I am hoping the defensive line is beefed up through the draft and i think we might be able to stop the run once again and keep Bob Sanders back more allowing our pass def to do what it needs

I am not sure what is going to change from our special teams but i believe it cant go anywhere but up... lets face it Indy's special teams has been a joke for a while now... Half the time that is where our losses come from

I sure hope you're right about that.

I worry more about the running game then anything else. It was so frustrating watching run play after run play getting us no where.

Randyman

Caldwell seems to think the Run game is not going to improve to much this upcoming season and I dont really understand why. Last season was horrible but prior to that it wasnt bad, and last season we had plenty of issues with the O-line so why with a healthy O-line do they not expect much improvement?
Healthy O-line and Peyton messing with the defenses heads' I think it should be much improved

I worry still about our Run Def the most. What does it matter if they cant score on the pass when they run 300 yards and 4 tds.... The Linebacker changes with Session moving to willy, Brackett staying at mike and Wheeler hopefully starting in the line up at sam, the new staff and Caldwell seem to be happy with them.

Yea the run D was pretty sad. I remember a few games it held up pretty decent though, I was just hoping it would magically get better.

I hope Caldwell lets Sorgi get a lot of preseason time in too. They don't seem to let him get much experiance and we will be in a world of hurt if Manning goes down and Sorgi takes over with the rest of the team playing like they did last year. Even Madden said they need to let Sorgi get more play time in during preseason. The little bit I've seen him play he did not look sharp at all.

yeah from what i've seen the colts are boned if Manning goes down. Sorgi just looks like a deer in headlights sometimes

I wish him well but I doubt he will get the kind of money he wants no matter where he winds up. It's almost kind of funny no one grabbed him yet and TO was snatched up right off the bat. Thats got to hurt the ego.

Randyman

T.O. has been pulling in numbers lately, Harrison hasnt so its a reality he will have to face. He definitely wont get paid what he wants which is why i think he might end back up with Indy

indycoltz

You think he would come back to indy? I hope so but he sounds kind of bitter about the whole situation.

Randyman

I think he is bitter and his ego is probably hurt, but i believe other teams are going to insult him as well with what they offer him. And if he doesnt go back to indy i think he may decide to retire

BushWhacker

Harrison may be better off retiring. (For his and the Colt's sake)

Sure glad to see Caldwell's main priority was improving the running game, that shows me he is a guy I can have faith in.

Brown was a good pick. Who would've been the backup if he wasn't drafted?

Probably Mike Hart who was a 6th round 2008 pick. With Rhodes leaving and Kenton Keith getting cut I'm pretty sure he was the only RB left behind addai.
