Shorttynaz Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Just saw a "breaking news" alert on Sportscenter saying that Sanders tore his biceps tendon in Sunday's game against the 49ers and is out for the season.. This defense is cursed I swear. Jackson is out for the year, Hagler is out for the year, Sanders was good for one game this season (again) - and they still struggle against the run. They're undefeated to date, but this team is in trouble if you ask me. Unless Manning can once again carry this team completely on his back, it's gonna be another great "regular season" with another disapointing postseason.

i_am_the_swammi Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I have not Colts on any fantasy roster .....certainly sounds like the offense is going to be in a lot of shootouts for the remainder of the season if the defense is going to be piecemealed together.

Seahawks21 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Thats what they get for sending him to see the season killer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrudge Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 It's sort of been discussed in the Hagler/Jackson thread. As pointed out there, many of the guys going down haven't really been relied on in the first half of the season to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Geez. Bad week for the injury bug. 3 players lost for the year. Thankfully two have not been starters this year, although they have been in the past . . . Bullitt will be just fine filling in for Bob. Wheeler will be just fine filling in for Hagler. What I'm starting to worry about is cornerback. Marlin Jackson hasn't been starting, but he's done for the year. Kelvin Hayden may miss a month with a knee injury. That leaves Tim Jennings and rookie Jerraud Powers as starters. Undrafted FA Jacob Lacey is the nickelback. I don't even know who they would turn to in the dime. They've been rolling those three out there for a month now, and they've been great, but the schedule is about to get much tougher, and I was counting on them returning to back-ups. I hope they can keep their level of play up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Swiss cheese from here on out Why is that? Sanders and Marlin Jackson have hardly played this year. Losing them hasn't made them "swiss cheese" so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) I get that Sanders is a beast on the field when he plays but hasn't he only played something like 50% of the games since he's been in the league? That's a lot of money and time dedicated to someone who barely plays instead of grooming someone else.

That's a lot of money and time dedicated to someone who barely plays instead of grooming someone else. Actually, it has allowed them to groom someone else. Melvin Bullitt has become a pretty good safety in his own right. There's not much they can do about the contract now. If we are heading into an uncapped year, it makes no sense to cut him. We'll have to see what happens with the CBA after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickvick Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I love the way Sanders plays but i believe the Colts will soon part ways with him.Great player but he has shown year in and year out that he is not going to be a contributor on the field.It is going to come down to being a sound business decision very soon.

pig devilz Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I haven't been following Indy closely, yet, this year. But what comes to mind with all the D troubles is, what is the state of the O line? Cuz they are sure gunna need to protect PM so he can carry them. Doesn't look like Gonzales will be around either.... what happened in the SF game? what were the weakness's? PM no TD's...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 O-line has played fine in pass blocking. Run-blocking meh. San Francisco was sitting on all the outside routes, and Peyton just had an "off" day. He had several overthrows that usually would be TD's.
