Does anyone know how good their defense is supposed to be this season?
I fully expect them to be Top-5 again. There have been no losses on the defense as all 11 starters will be back this year. On top of that we have added depth at DE in Marcus Howard and hopefully Curtis Johnson gets to be this years "diamond in the rough".
Another interesting topic is Dom Rhodes. I would have bet the farm that the Colts would have never offered him back but they have. I'm still on the Kenton Keith fan bus but dude if Dom comes back your history. They will want a guy who was a major contributor to the Colts Superbowl ran and one who knows the system in and out over someone who has shown "flashes" of potential. Joseph Addai, Dominic Rhodes, and Mike Hart could be one helluva RB trio. If its the right price I'd be all arms opened for the return of Rhodes.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I have been thinking about the Harrison situation on the theory that if ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING that could hinder or cause him a quarter or even a years worth of play, he says F U and retires. The man is 35, and losing a full year at 35 is nothing like losing a full year at 25. Marvin has nothing else to prove to ANYONE. Please do not take this as a "your pushing Marvin out" speech because it isn't. Like I said its just a theory to what Marvin may be thinking at his age of 35 and with the issues at hand. I want to see Marvin go out in glory with the 2nd ring, but like I said if ANYTHING hinders his playing time this year (outside of his injury) I have the belief that he hangs the cleats up. It will be a very sad day in my household, I know.
