The problem with criticism of Bradley is that he doesn’t have the personnel to play the kind of scheme all of us would prefer. Sam Womack will never remind anyone of Richard Sherman, and there’s no Earl Thomas or Kam Chancellor in that locker room.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not joined at the hip with Gus. But, I’ve been a Colts fan since 1967, and sometimes it seems like the last time we had a tough, hardnosed defense, Ted Marchibroda was stalking the sidelines.

The 1975 Baltimore Colts "Sack Pack" set was then a record of 60 sacks in a 14-game season.

Fred Cook

I remember them well. Joe Thomas built a pretty good team, then got run out of town on a rail. Took us a quarter century to find another GM anywhere near as good.

You should tell that story to all the people that want Ballard canned.

The Colts did have a decent run from 1987 through 1989, immediately upon acquiring Eric Dickerson ...... Dickerson single-handedly gave the franchise a much needed shot in the arm, turning them from the NFL's laughing stock into a respectable team. They had 3 consecutive winning/non-losing seasons (9-6, 9-7, and 8-8 respectively in 1987, 1988, and 1989.) I was thrilled when they won the AFC East in 1987. We beat the Browns in the regular season that year, and I thought that we might have beaten them again in the divisional playoffs if Gary Hogeboom had stayed healthy.

Having not looked at the '25 class much... Unless there is a DT or Pass Rusher or to a lesser extent a CB worthy of moving up for...

I am very intrigued by Tyler Warren from PSU. Usually see him at the end of the first, but I feel like he'll move up. Could line up well for where we're at.

I like him better than the Michigan kid because he's huge, uber versatile, and productive even though he can still polish his route running and has room to grow. Very athletic.

Most of all, he is a big, capable blocker. Especially with AR going forward, I've wanted that Jack Doyle-type blocker back in the lineup.

No matter where the Colts draft, I want this guy. He will instantly upgrade the entire offense.

te- fuck this group sucks


dt- I want a vet. a leader type. someone like Corey Redding was. we need leadership from outside the locker room. this locker room has no leaders. Kenny Moore is about it


safety- Blackmon can fuck off. again this is a great spot for a veteran with leadership skills from a good team


lbers- all new ones. the rookie can stay. fuck Franklin and speed. those guys are garbage

cb- always need corners

guard- not sure what happens here with fries but we need help here

The '87 Colts were actually a decent team,even without Dickerson. Albert Bentley was a pretty good RB in his own right. Dickerson put butts in the seats and gave the team some national exposure. Cornelius Bennett would have made the Colts a better team though.
