Indianapolis Colts 22, Tennessee Titans 20

Blogged under Game Recaps, Bloglockers, Front Page, General Colts Chatter by dawgpounded on Monday 17 September 2007 at 11:07 am

The Colts always know that the Titans come to play and they did again yesterday giving the Colts a scare. The Colts offense was pretty sharp as usual. Peyton Manning completed 28 of 42 passes for 312 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception. RB Joseph Addai had another solid game with 2o carries for 81 yards (4.1 ypc) with 1 TD run. Marvin Harrison (6 rec, 87 yards) and Reggie Wayne (5 rec, 70 yards) each had solid games. But, Dallas Clark was the go-to man on this day as he caught 7 passes for 69 yards and a TD. Rookie slot receiver Anthony Gonzalez caught his first 3 NFL passes for 49 yards. The Colts finished up with 81 yards rushing on 22 carries (3.7 ypc) and they completed 28 of 42 passes for 300 yards.

The Colts defense moved a lot of defenders into the box to stop the Titans’ running game and they did a good job against the running backs, but Vince Young broke some nice runs. Safety Bob Sanders had a huge game for the Colts’ defense with 11 tackles and 2.5 sacks. The Titans finished up with 141 yards rushing on 34 carries (4.1 ypc) and they completed 17 of 27 passes for 172 yards.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Tennessee Titans

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report, General Colts Chatter by dawgpounded on Thursday 13 September 2007 at 3:23 pm
This is a key battle in the AFC South Division. The Colts rolled in their season opener 41-10 over the Saints while the Titans stunned the Jaguars 13-10 in Jacksonville. The Titans and Colts split games last season with each team winning on their own turf. The Titans beat the Colts last season in Tennessee by pushing the Colts around as they rushed for 219 yards. The Titans will try to run the football and control the clock against the Colts. They ran the ball 49 times for 282 yards (5.8 ypc) last week against the Jaguars are they held onto the football for 36:55 of the football game! Look for Chris Brown (175 yards, 9.2 ypc) and LenDale White (66 yards rushing) to provide the muscle behind a solid offensive line. QB Vince Young will also take off as he rushed for 22 yards and had a TD run last week. If the Colts can’t stop the running game of the Titans it could be a long day for them this Sunday.Â

The Colts will likely come out throwing the ball against the Titans to try to get a quick lead and take the Titans out of their game plan. Peyton Manning was excellent as always against the Saints last week as he completed 18 of 30 passes for 288 yards with 3 TDs and 0 pickoffs. Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison will cause huge match up problems for the Titans corners who will likely need help from the safeties. That might not be easy for the Titans to do because TE Dallas Clark and WR Anthony Gonzalez could be lining up in the slot. And if the Titans defense didn’t already have enough to worry about don’t forget 2nd year running back Joseph Addai who had 143 combined yards rushing and receiving last week (he also scored a TD).

PREDICTION: This will be a close football game but I have to side with the Colts by a field goal in this one. I wouldn’t be surprised though if the Titans pulled an upset here because they play the Colts tough and they are the more physical team.

Linebacker Freddy Keiaho might miss game

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, Injury Reports, General Colts Chatter by dawgpounded on Thursday 13 September 2007 at 2:52 pm

Starting linebacker Freddy Keiaho might miss this week’s game with the Titans due to a dislocated right elbow. He has missed a lot of practice time and he is unsure as to whether or not he will be able to play of Sunday. Keiaho played well in his first start against the Saints as he had 6 tackles, defensed a pass and intercepted a pass. If Keiaho can’t go the Colts will start Tyjuan Hagler in his spot. Hagler had 2 tackles against the Saints in the opener but he has been a special teams player until now. He has played in 10 NFL games in his career and he has made 9 tackles.

The over/under for the Indianapolis Colts is 10.5 wins for 2007

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, If I Were a Betting Man, Vegas Lines, General Colts Chatter by dawgpounded on Saturday 8 September 2007 at 11:07 pm

I know that it’s a little late to make this bet, but I would have taken the over. The Colts are a machine on offense. The Colts did let a lot of their defensive players leave but it won’t matter as long as Peyton Manning, Joseph Addai, Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne stay healthy.

Indianapolis Colts 41, New Orleans Saints 10

Something went on in the locker room at halftime with the game tied at 10 because the Colts came out of the locker room looking like a Mad Dog in a Meat Market! The Colts pounded the Saints 31-0 in the 2nd half of the game as it was complete domination on both sides of the football. QB Peyton Manning didn’t look sharp in the 1st half but he turned it on in the 2nd half of the game. He finished up completing 18 of 30 passes for 288 yards with 3 TD passes. Joseph Addai carried the load in the running game with 118 yards rushing on 23 carries (5.1 ypc) with 1 TD run. Backup RB Kenton Keith also got some work in and he looked good carrying the ball 5 times for 32 yards (6.4 ypc). Reggie Wayne made up for a costly fumble in the first half that was returned for a TD by CB Jason David (formerly of the Colts). He made up for it by torching David for two TD receptions in the 2nd half of the game. Wayne finished up with 7 catches for 115 yards (16.4 avg). WR Marvin Harrison was also outstanding as he caught 4 passes for 83 yards and a TD. The Colts finished up out-yarding the Saints 452-293 in this football game.

The defense was outstanding for the Colts. They even scored a TD when backup safety Matt Giordano returned an interception 83 yards to paydirt. The secondary was outstanding for the Colts as Marlin Jackson (12 tackles), Kelvin Hayden (9 tackles) and Bob Sanders (9 tackles) kept the Saints receivers in front of them and they made them pay when they caught the football. LBs Gary Brackett (9 tackles) and Rob Morris (8 tackles) both were outstanding as they stuffed Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush in the running game.

This Colts team looked Super again last night so the rest of the NFL better give them their respect.
