2010 Colts

[Quiet Speed]

The passing of Blair White by all 32 teams in all 7 rounds of the draft is about as ludicrous a thing as I've seen in all my years of following the NFL. I mean it's over-the-top whacky,

Through 2 games, Gary Brackett has 9 tackles: http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/playerpage/396767/gary-brackett

Brackett not doing a whole lot: Colts LB Gary Brackett, who was questionable for the game with a back injury, had five tackles, including four solo, against the Giants in Week 2. He had four total tackles in Week 1.
(Updated 09/20/2010)

And Joe Pawelek can't even "make" an NFL team...

 

[Don Wassall]

9 tackles in 2 games by an MLB is terrible. Good news for Pat Angerer though, might speed up his racial apprenticeship some behind "revered leader" Brackett, who may be hitting the wall at age 30 like a lot of black football players do, not just running backs.

 

[Don Wassall]

Garcon didn't make the team flight to Denver so he won't be playing Sunday. That makes Collie the #2 receiver, in fact Collie and Wayne are the only two WRs the Colts have right now as Gonzalez is injured and they started the season with just four. Hopefully Blair White will be summoned from the practice squad and see some action.

Would be great to see huge games from Collie and Clark again tomorrow!

In answer to Don's suggestion, the Colts do in fact sign Blair White to the team.

 

[Don Wassall]

Good news. They'll probably use him too as the slot receiver and move Collie to the outside. That or use Clark and Collie both inside and outside. Will be interesting to see, hopefully White will play and do well.

This is the Whitest receiving corps since Denver in the late 90's.

 

[whiteathlete33]

This will be a game to watch. It doesn't get any better than this for us.

 

[Thrashen]

Manning's main receiving targets today will be Reggie Wayne, Blair White, Austin Collie, Dallas Clark, and tight ends Brody Eldrige, and Jacob Tamme.

The proprietors of the Caste System must be pissing in their panties in anticipation. This game will be very important to our cause.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Guess who the Colts are playing today? McEminem's Denver Broncos. Hopefully the Colts can win and White, Clark, and Collie can have big games. That should be sweet revenge for McEminem who just hates white skill position players.

The Colts offense looked great without Garcon. Their one afflete o-lineman went out with an injury and they played nine whites. In the no back sets, they had 10 whites on the field. Of course, other than Mitch King for a few plays, the defense was coal black.

 

[Jimmy Chitwood]

some news of note regarding the almost snow White Colts offense ...

Manning to Collie is just unstoppable.

* Peyton Manning to Austin Collie has yielded ridiculous numbers this season. On 32 targets, Manning's connected with Collie on 27 passes for 11.2 yards per attempt with four touchdowns and a passer rating of 153.0. (ESPN Stats & Info)

* Of Austin Collie's 171 receiving yards, 79 were gained after the catch. (ESN Stats & Info)

Broncos bewildered by Austin Collie's fourth-quarter catches.

It might look as if there's no talking going on among the players on the field, but Colts quarterback Peyton Manning would tell you differently about a key pass to receiver Austin Collie in the fourth quarter.

With almost shocking suddenness, Manning and Collie connected on a 48-yard pass down the right side to the Denver 35-yard line, and the Colts came alive for a fourth-quarter touchdown that bewildered the Broncos' defense.


"We've always done a lot with feedback," Manning said of the play that took the Colts from their 17-yard line after a false start.


"We also had a huddle, and we could get some discussion."


Collie, who victimized the Broncos with 12 catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns, said he told Manning before the play that he thought he could run by the Denver defender.
<DIV style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; TEXT-ALIGN: left; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; : transparent; COLOR: #000000; OVERFLOW: ; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; TEXT-DECORATION: none">





Coach Jim Caldwell said the offensive staff also was involved in the communication. It seemed as if everyone was involved in the discussion except the Broncos' defense.


"We encourage input, but you don't have to take it," Manning said. "We appreciate what they're saying. When you talk about communication, our guys do a good job of it. I always encourage communication during a series and not wait until it's over."


Manning said the Colts' offense had to wait for the opening to present itself.


"We had to be patient because the run game was kind of a grind," Manning said. "Denver has good defenders, and they play different pass coverages. It just worked out that in the second half we got a couple of plays down the right side. Being patient was important. We were trying to run the ball. We gave it a shot. We didn't abandon it, but it wasn't our day."


Manning said he didn't have a game plan on which side of the field he worked. It seemed early he was working the left side before switching to the right.


Collie had his version.


"We just took what the defense gave us," he said. "We had a false start on the play before, and I said I thought I could run by the safety."


Asked if he thought any differently about any defender, Collie said, "No."

not bad for an "over-achieving possession receiver," huh?

and a couple of complimentary blurbs on Blair White's performance. Colts backup plan still producing victories.

Broncos' Bailey, Cox targeted by Colts newcomer White.

Blair White is an undrafted rookie playing in his first game, two days after he was signed to an NFL roster for the first time.
<DIV style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; TEXT-ALIGN: left; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; : transparent; COLOR: #000000; OVERFLOW: ; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; TEXT-DECORATION: none">


Raw, but well-schooled in the Academy of Peyton Manning Football, White noticed something about how Broncos cornerback Perrish Cox was playing him.


So White, who again was playing in his first game, went up to quarterback Peyton Manning, who was playing in his 195th consecutive game and 13th season.


"Blair White on his touchdown, he said, 'Hey, he's really inside,' " Manning said. " 'The slant route is going to be tough. Maybe a slant and up.' "


Manning taking tips from a first-game player? That does it. No one will ever know it all. Manning is not too proud to keep learning ...
<DIV style="BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; TEXT-ALIGN: left; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; : transparent; COLOR: #000000; OVERFLOW: ; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; TEXT-DECORATION: none">


In the second half, White caught his first touchdown pass, on a short, slant-and-up against Cox.


But it was mostly Colts slot receiver Austin Collie who burned Cox in the second half. Collie had eight of his 12 catches, and 144 of his 171 receiving yards, in the second half.

 

[White Power]

Hey guys I live in the deep south, and I am thinking about taking a road trip to watch the Colts take on the Jaguars, and their pathetic QB. Would you guys go if you could or would it be wrong to attend a home game played in the Jaguars home stadium. Just looking for some advice should I go or should I stay the hell away.

 

[Leonardfan]

I hope Mitch King plays more as the season goes on and he gets acclimated to playing in the NFL. I think Blair White is going to be a keeper, he looked good yesterday.

 

[whiteathlete33]

Rotoworld was complimentary of Collie but still found a way to add a bit of negativity to his performance. One of the blurbs I read earlier today said that Collie had a rookie defending him(Cox) and that helped his cause.

Check out these twitters from Jason Whitlock that someone just emailed the site:

[whiteathlete33]

Whitlock is a moron. From reading some of his articles I can tell the guy is a fake. We all liked some of his articles that mentioned white athletes in a positive light but he likes to play both sides of the fence. He obviously doesn't like what he saw yesterday.

Do any of the DWF's question why the Steelers and Buccaneers are almost coal black? How about the fact that these two teams also have black coaches? Maybe some black racism shining through? It's a similar situation to when the Paces almost had a half white team. What a luxury it must be for white people to have a professional sports team with almost 50% of the players who look like them in a 70% white country.

 

[Kaptain]

The shat Whitlock should have noticed is the results of a largely white offense. The perennial best teams in the league are the Colts and Patriots - the whitest offensive teams in recent history. The team thought to be the superbowl favorite as of right now are the Green Bay Packers - the whitest team in the NFL. Shat you notice, but don't mention.

 

[icsept]

I'm not sure what Whitlock is trying to say. Apparently he doesn't have the cajones to finish his thought - or maybe even Whitlock realizes the absolute absurdity of noticing 9 white offensive players while not noticing 0 white players on defense.

 

[whiteathlete33]

The only reason the Colts started 9 whites on offense is because of injuries. Garcon and sumo Charlie Johnson had injuries so that's the only reason the "unathletic" whites got to start and it brought the number up to 9. I don't think the NFL would ever start 9 whites on offense these days without injuries to affletes. I think 7 is the maximum.

 

[snow]

even most dwfs are sick of Whitlock. What does it matter if they started 9 white guys on offense? They won right? Isn't that the common argument of the dwf? the coaches are going to play the best guys because they want to win?

 

[referendum]

Actually, I think the Pats will be at de facto 8 white starters on offense, with 5 on O-line, Brady, Welker and Hernandez/Gronkowski.

a celebration that i could enjoy being a part of

 

[Westside]

Jimmy C, thanks for posting the great pics, much appreciated. Look forward to more!

 

[PhillyBirds]

That third picture makes me think that maybe there is some hope after all.
