What worries you the most?

I would like to hear what all you Freaks are most concerned about going into this season. We have no idea what Steichen will put out there for a game plan (I have high hopes), will we generate a pass rush, what will the corners turn out to be, will Shaq play and if he does will this be his last year with us (next year his cap hit is 20 million with a dead cap hit of 8 million), can Raimann handle left tackle (I believe this may have already been answered) and who fills out the wide receiver room among others. For me it is pass rush. We haven't had a decent pass rush in many many years. The hope is that we get development of young guys. If we can get a consistent pass rush out of our front 4 we could surprise some folks as a pass rush covers other deficiencies.

O Line - specifically RG and overall OL depth. It’s a hell of a gamble with a rookie QB IMO. CB is easily the weakest position group on the team and will likely be the main reason the team loses games (other than AR growing pains). However it only affects this year and the team isn’t really competing yet anyway. OL has the ability to damage ARs development so it can have an affect beyond this year.

That Richardson doesn’t develop into what we think he can be.

It’s going to be rough. There will be games where he’s 10-28 for 90 yards with 3 ints. But as long as he stays healthy and Steichen is what we hope he is as a coach, I think he will get better.

I just hope the team Ballard has put around him is good enough to allow him to develop.

What worries me about the colts? The fair weather fans that poop their pants when they dont have a winning record. When the team lets a game get away from them.

Manning went 3-13 his rookie year with Faulk and Harrison. Next year they went 13-3 with Edge replacing Faulk.

50+ on a roster, and only 17 games. So few opportunities to advance. Compared to basketball and baseball, there a very few second chances if a team has a “bad “ game.

As to Taylor, I have no worries. He doesnt want to be here, then let him go. Too bad the Colts cant trade him to the CFL

Offensive line is my second worry, I have them second because there are guys on the line that have done it before and I am beginning to have faith in Raimann. Totally agree about right guard

I am more excited about AR than worried. He has shown me exactly zilch to worry about except being young. Everyone is young and inexperienced at some point.

I have a hard time believing that you are worried about the fair weather fans (are there any other type?) JAFF. Everyone on this board, anyway, is hard core. We bitch a lot but WTH, that is what sports are for.

Only worry I have is AR not showing improvement on placement and making the "easy" NFL throws consistently. Making a receiver reach behind his hip on an 8-yard crosser type of stuff. Windows are too tight to be off like that and get where we want to go in the future.

None of his mental has me concerned so far.

This is a house money season, so nothing else worries me. Just enjoy the show.
