Kyle DeVan (left) is a player, plain and simple. Good guy to have on the team. No, he’s not blessed with big-time talent. He'll never be a John Hannah or a Chris Hinton, but it would be a huge mistake to get rid of him. He earns his pay.
It’s interesting to see that although Antoine Bethea was gravely injured, he was still out there play after play on defense. Who else would go out there? Silva? Francisco? Rushing? Imagine the coverage holes. Maybe the Colts do need another safety.
The kid, De’Von Hall, was activated. I like him a lot on specials, and really think he deserves a look at WLB next training camp.
Mike Pollak and Mike Hart are healthy scratches? Interesting (translation: See ya!). Especially when you consider that Dan Federkeil, the “other” veteran lineman, had just gone onto injured reserve. That left just Jamey Richard – who hadn’t played a down on offense before the Baltimore game – and the much-loathed Tony Ugoh as offensive line reserves. Interestingly, I originally typed “Tony Ugoh” as “Tiny Ugoh” on the first run. Is that a Freudian slip?
Pierre Garcon is getting better and better. But I'm not as solidly seated on that wagon as many Colts fans are. I've seen people compare him to Reggie Wayne, and I'm not ready for that. Reggie Langhorne, maybe.
As much as I’m told I “have” to worship him by mainstream media and other bloggers, I’m still not sold on Joseph Addai as a No. 1 back. I love it how Colts fans scream "he scored a TD, you must love him!" or "he's almost up to 3.6 yards a carry, you gotta compare him to Barry Sanders!" Sorry, can't do that. I'm sure Addai is an awesome guy, but he's not one of the dozen (maybe 20) best backs in the NFL. You can wish all you want, but it's not gonna ever be true.
How much do the Colts need a return specialist? The scientific answer: Lots and lots.
