NFL cutdown day: AFC South (SportingNews.com)
National News Source:Yahoo! Sports - NFL - Indianapolis Colts News - September 4 11:07 PM CDT
Teams had until 5 p.m. ET Sept. 4 to reach the NFL-mandated 53-player roster limit. Here's a team-by-team look from SN's correspondents at cuts and other decisions by teams in the division: Houston Texans Coach Gary Kubiak called it "the toughest decision I've had to make" when he kept kicker Neil Rackers over Kris Brown, the last original Texan. Brown was 4-of-5 on field-goals attempts in preseason, and his only miss was a 56-yarder.... Read More »

While the roster still has some shaking out to do, the worst of the cuts are past. What lessons can we take away from cut day?
1. The fourth preseason game is all but meaningless. If ever three players made a statistical case for making a team, it was Brandstater, White, and James who lit up the scoreboard at the Luke on Thursday night. In fact, none of them made the team, and it's not exactly a surprise. The truth is and always has been that the fourth preseason game MEANS NOTHING. ... Read More »

What Passes for a Defense of Curtis Painter
Blogs Source:18 To 88 - An Indianapolis Colts Blog - September 4 03:07 PM CDT
I'm not a fan of Curtis Painter.
Last year, I argued that Jim Sorgi was the better player. Everyone else was up in arms about how good Painter looked in the preseason against 3/4th string players. I saw the upside, but wasn't impressed. I certainly have been as critical as anyone of his work in the past.
However, I've also been arguing for a couple of weeks now that he had locked up the backup job. There are two primary reasons why:
1. What the Colts have been saying.
2. The way he's bee... Read More »

The most important thing any NFL team can do is to keep improving. Last year, the Colts had a tremendous year, but that was last year. If Indy wants to win it all, they'll have to play even better in 2010 than they did in 2009. Let's look at each position grouping and see where the team stands in comparison to last year.
OFFENSE:
Quarterbacks: Last year, the Colts carried three quarterbacks. We'll assume 2010 Manning is wash with 2009 Manning. Curtis Painter has clearly improved over t... Read More »

This is going on the front page instead of in the links because it's something I talk about all the time.
The outstanding site Advanced NFL Statistics just put out an incredible report showing just how much more important passing is than running to winning.
The answer: A LOT more important.
If I were advising a general manager, I'd tell him to largely forget about the run. Get a RB who's good at picking up blitzes or catching the ball. Never draft a RB in the first few rounds, and whateve... Read More »

Peter King takes a lot of crap because he loves to go out on a limb, but when it comes to actual reporting, few are better. Today he devotes the first page of his Monday Morning Quarterback column to the officiating controversy and how it will affect the Colts.
I understand and support the rule change. It's not only a question of safety, but of tactics. Putting pads and a helmet on the umpire does nothing to keep teams from using the official to run pick plays with wide receivers. I think ... Read More »

Pete,
I'm glad the commissioner is letting you celebrate 4,192 in Cincinnati among the most loyal fans on earth.
I want you to know that this is your last, best chance to make things right.
When you lied about gambling, we stood by you. I personally spent more than a decade defending you. I was 12 when you were suspended. I was crushed. I was angry. Even after you finally admitted that you had lied to all of us, I remained willing to forgive you and move on. You haven't shown much hu... Read More »

The new on-field positioning of NFL umpires isn’t concerning [...]... Read More »

Believe it or not, games like last night make me want to quit writing about the Colts.
It's not because I'm disgusted by the performance. I mostly just hate having to invest time in discussing the ins and outs of preseason games. There's going to be a lot of hand wringing and a lot of national recrimination over that game last night, and frankly it exhausts me. Honestly, I'd rather just move along, and forget it ever happened. I'm in a horribly surly mood about the whole thing.
