Update

Sorry I haven’t posted for a while, but it’s been busy here at ColtPlay HQ. Here are some points:

• I’m glad the Colts did not sign Richie Incognito. They need to get tougher and more fiery on the offensive line, but not psychotic.
• Yes, everybody but me is rejoicing Tim Jennings is gone. I always thought he got more criticism than he deserved. His career with the Colts will always be summed by one play – the goal-line stand in Super Bowl XLIV. He got there first, he delivered the hit that stopped the back and allowed bigger men to wrap him up. He got no stat and no credit, but without him, the Saints score. So long, Tim, we didn’t all hate you.
• The Chiefs signed Ryan Lilja. What a joke. They sign him out of college in 2004, cut him and try to stash him on the PS. The Colts grab him, he starts 59 games for them, plays in two Super Bowls, then wears out. He fails his physical with two bad knees, the Colts cut him and the Chiefs welcome him back with a $7.5 million deal. Way to go, KC.
• This is the point of the offseason when I normally start listing who the media is reporting who the Colts are looking at. But since they are so often wrong, I’m probably not going to. It works like this. The local yokel media see the Colts at their team’s pro day and report that they must be there to look at their team’s best player. An example? Take 2008 when the Colts went to the University of Buffalo’s pro day. The draft-oriented media reported en masse that the Colts were interested in Trevor Scott. Made sense, after all. The Colts love undersized pass-rushers from small schools, and Scott was easily the team’s best – or at least, most NFL-ready – player. Although the Colts may well have had some interest in Scott, but repeatedly decided not to draft him (he went to Oakland in the sixth). Instead, the Colts drafted his teammate Jamey Richard and signed another Bull, Ramon Guzman, the next day, and still another, Drew Willy, in 2009. So forgive me if I see the media report that the Colts are interested in James Madison’s Arthur Moats, and don’t post it immediately. Although they could well like Moats, they could just as easily be scouting fellow Dukes Dorian Brooks or Mike Caussin. Still, I am intrigued by their interest in Appalachian State’s Armanti Edwards.
