18 Again

Actually, being 18 largely sucked, so I wouldn't want to relive that. But I have posted this week's 18 Plays podcast brought to you by Broad Ripple Tree Service. Demond and I enthusiastically break down 18 plays from Sunday's beat down of the Seahawks.

Once again, you can download the podcast by clicking the link; you can hit the embedded player below, or you can subscribe using ITunes. All are acceptable and wonderful ways to partake of 18 Plays. By the way, we keep an archive of old podcasts above, so you can always go back and pick up what you missed

One note and bear in mind that I have no evidence for this:

I'd bet that Bob Sanders plays Sunday. Seriously ~~folks~~ people (sorry, I wrote this late last night), Polian and Caldwell want this game. They probably held him off the PUP JUST for this game. I have a feeling the Colts are going to come out strong on Sunday and play this game to win hard. I'm expecting to see all hands on deck. That includes Bob Sanders. And yes, he does matter that much. Don't make the mistake of forgetting how good this guy is.

Re: The 3 receivers all on the left/right formation.
written by Cass, October 08, 2009

I have seen that happen before. The Colts also used that formation in that San Diego rain game back in 2007. Literally all of our receivers were out, so the Colts had to use new wrinkles to have a chance.

I am glad to see the Colts use that formation in a non-emergency situation though. It's a whole lot of fun to watch.

Playing in a theater near you!

But not in Nashville this weekend. These guys are so careful, they'll only bring him back if he's 110% (like all true NFLers) or the game is of huge import (Pats game 3 years ago, after which, we lost him for another two months, IIRC). I just don't see it happening for Tenn, whom we can beat without him. (Unless Caldwell assumes they'll run the Johnson/White/Bironas wildcat 90% of the time--they are a threat to score 7 or 3 any time they touch the ball!)

21 might suit up, but I don't see him playing the mascot role well. If he's in pads, he's likely playing. So he may be a "gametime decision" to keep 'em guessing, but I don't think he'll play. Too important for later in the season, especially the two-game gauntlet of Balt/NE. My $0.02.

Remember back to 2006 with Bob. Remember how the Colts randomly brought him back just to play NE and then he missed another month or so?

They'll bring him back when they think they need him even if it costs him another few weeks.

I think that's this week.

I remember and agree

But I just think it's more likely for the Pats/Ravens matchups. They probably had this one penciled in a month ago, but it's less vital today, don't you think? We can win without him.

This just in: Fred Taylor injured! Who'd have guessed THAT!?!? Ankle surgery, out indefinitely, but not IR. Yeah, because 32 year-old RBs recover so well. Especially injury-plagued ones. He had 45 carries this year and the next two rushers didn't total that together. I like Sammy Morris and Faulk, but LoMo is another fragile back they'd be wise to not rely too much on.

Tommy, gear up for 50 passes a game. Indy D, gear up for your specialty.

Is anybody else going to key the next Subaru they see in a parking lot? That god-damned ad is f**king everywhere.

Never noticed that ad until you pointed it out

But I have to say I cannot key the next one I see--it'll be my wife's. Here in Seattle they are ubiquitous. Like casts, bandages, and ice packs in Fred Taylor's house.

ba-da-bum-BUM!
