If you can't keep hits straight from game to game, or year to year, it sounds like you've taken too many yourself. I Rodney's never been accused of using roids.Its so tough to say...he's had so many perfectly legal hits through the years.
There was one in '98, another in '01. I think he had another in '02. I've probably missed one or two.
But back to my original point....would that explain the roid use? The legacy of Jack Tatum? That he needed a little outside help to try to get to the level of a Jack Tatum?
Sure, his fellow players voted him the dirtiest player in the NFL, but no one has ever hung the assassin tag on him. He's gotta feel slighted, even a little bit.
What makes you say that? Colts practiced Monday and Tuesday, so who knows when he got the concussion. Freddy's ear is a holdover of his concussion several weeks ago. Not sure why they describe it that way, but just a week or so ago, it was "post concussion syndrome" Ugoh was a shoulder, but I think they list him now with a neck injury. It's a bunch of cat and mouse. Would be nice to know the real story, but just not possible in this day and age.
They had to come in on Monday because of the loss. As Peyton said teams tend to give guys Monday off following a win as the season progresses. It's just a carrot since all Monday is anyway is treatment and film breakdown and meetings. Tuesday is a union mandated day off. Teams don't alter that schedule unless they are practicing on a short week for a Thursday or Saturday game. Clark couldn't have gotten a concussion on Wednesday since he didn't practice, and there was no physical practice on Monday or Tuesday or there would have had to have been a report released on it.
Yes the Bob Sanders spearing Moss, knocked Sanders out of the game not Moss. Another call the refs did not make..
Here was my thought heading into the Colts game:
The Colts defense is small and fast.
The Patriots offense is big and fast.
The Colts released their first injury report of the week Wednesday,
with 10 players listed as not participating in practice. They were:
... defensive end Dwight Freeney (team decision),...
Freddy Keiaho has an injured.....ear?
What the heck does that mean?

Wait a second! All you heard last week is that the Pats and Colts switched roles and the Colts were the physical team and the Pats were a finesse team. Yet, it was the Colts defense that was clearly worn out and battered by the end of the game on Sunday. Now this injury report confirms that the Pats beat up the Colts pretty bad on both sides of the ball.
The fact of the matter is having a phyiscial team that is build of a lot small fast guys is a double edge sword. Yeah, they can beat on teams, but they can also get beaten up pretty good when they face another physical team. The bad news for the Colts is that they have a bunch more teams with a lot of physical players still on their schedule.

The Colts released their first injury report of the week Wednesday,
with 10 players listed as not participating in practice. They were:
Middle linebacker Gary Brackett (hip), defensive tackle Raheem Brock
(neck), tight end Dallas Clark (concussion), offensive tackle Dan
Federkeil (concussion), defensive end Dwight Freeney (team decision),
safety Matt Giordano (hamstring), wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez
(hand), cornerback Marlin Jackson (foot), offensive guard Ryan Lilja
(team decision) and offensive tackle Tony Ugoh (neck).
Wide receiver Marvin Harrison (knee), linebacker Rocky Boiman
(shoulder), linebacker Tyjuan Hagler (neck) and linebacker Freddy
Keiaho (ear) were listed as participating on a limited basis.
not looking good for a game against the chargers....but the chragers suck so it might be even.
Is there a chance that Clark got his concussion early last week, and that had a lot to do with why he was so ineffective all game? If so, that's a big deal, since Clark has had a few before this one. As much as I don't like the Colts, I don't want to see a guy's career get derailed by concussions, and that's where it looks like his is headed.
I was rewatching bits of the game as I edited out the commercials and I noticed this for the first time - Sanders standard tackle technique seems to be to lower his head and lead with the crown of his helmet. On the moss hit late in the game he actually went helmet to helmet, nailing moss in the facemask with the top of his helmet as moss was landing on the ground. hmm, wonder why sanders is injured so much
The Colts, meanwhile, continue to deal with injuries, though linebackers Rocky Boiman (shoulder) and Gary Brackett (hip) and offensive guard Ryan Lilja (team decision) returned to practice yesterday.
Tight end Dallas Clark (concussion) went through a walkthrough session but did not practice, and safety Bob Sanders took his usual day off to rest old injuries.
Defensive end Dwight Freeney (team decision) sat out a second straight day but is expected to be ready for Sunday's game. Cornerback Marlin Jackson (foot) also might play Sunday, Dungy said.
Others sitting out included receiver Marvin Harrison (knee), defensive tackle Raheem Brock (neck), linebacker Tyjuan Hagler (neck), linebacker Freddy Keiaho (ear) and offensive tackle Tony Ugoh (neck).
Cornerback Kelvin Hayden (team decision) also sat out yesterday's practice.
forgot to put in his earplugs
