I thought it was funny since the Colts lost both starting CBs this offseason and all were heard was that it was going to actually make them better (while missing the implication that their coach is a poor decision maker for starting inferior players).
The Patriots certainly could have used Seau and Harrison in the AFC Championship Game last year.It seems it stirred the debate...
All I wanted to say is that the reasoning we have when a Pats player is replaced because of injury should be the same for any other team....
Just to put a little rationality in the debate.
We not talking about the loss of a cornerback here. Frankly, the Colts defense has overachieved this year especially with two lousy defensive tackles.So evey player that is a starter, is a starter from day one? Both corners are entering their third season, so it's not like they have just been sitting on the bench.
OK... I'll play.
You go find me a link where 1 (and you only have to find 1 ) Pats fan was singing the praise of Monty Biesel in 2005.:bricks:

An undrafted rookie at defensive tackle will be exposed sooner or later. That Colts rushing defense is still a problem.Actually I was responding to a statement about the corners.
Having Morris and Sanders as part of the Colts defense has helped them to play much better. Maybe they aren't two lousy tackles. One is a rook, so it's way too early to call him lousy.

There is a definite and annoying double-standard on this board where some apply completely different standards to ourselves than we do to our opponents. It's self-delusion, and anyone truly objective just have to laugh (or in many cases just stop bother coming here).

Oh wait! The Texans played without their best wide receiver and the Broncos played without their best wide receiver. The Colts defense have led a charmed life this season.
So who is the replacement for Morris? A rookie?
Morris must have done a whole lot better as an OLB because he was awful at MLB. Check out 3GTG3 and see how many times he dives at air and is just a bit too late to the play. The anti-Ray Lewis.
At IndyStar, he was one of the most ridiculed players.
I do not see this as much of a loss.
Although I hate to see any player knocked out foir the year ... even a Dolt.
Sounds like table scraps to me. By the way, Boiman blows. I certainly hope this Hagler has some fight in him.You really can't complain about playing against injuries, nearly every has been bitten. Rocky Boiman is his back-up, in his 6th year from ND. Tyjuan Hagler could also be a factor if Boiman struggles. Though Boiman started two games already when Morris was nicked up earlier this season.
So evey player that is a starter, is a starter from day one? Both corners are entering their third season, so it's not like they have just been sitting on the bench.
my point was that if they were better players last year they would (or should) have been starting last year. Absent a sudden and significant improvement between seasons, they were either inferior players when other guys were starting or your coach was foolishly starting inferior players.
I guess they could both just happen to be reaching the point where they're better than last year's guys at the right time. The more likely scenario is that they still have to grow into that role.
I have no issue with people thinking that losses won't be significant, but asking me to believe that back-ups are better than starters is stretching things.
Just playing devil's advocate...why wasn't Brady starting then?
1) He just went down, unblocked from what I saw. It's not like he was cut (ala Bryan Cox). Hope he recovers fully. I hate to see guys lose a year of their FB life and quite possibly damage their career.
2) If Polian went down in a heap, well, that's another matter!
1) I agree. I hope that Morris makes a full recovery and can resume his career. He's the only player in the dolt's front 7 who could fit in the NEP's system.
2) Add the Irsays, naPolian, the Mannings and Dungheep, too.
