The Dime Package: The Indianapolis Colts’ 10 Greatest Running Backs
Posted: 2nd October 2009 by Nick South in NFL
With Edgerrin James making a return to Indianapolis this week as a member of the Seattle Seahawks, I thought it would be appropriate to look at the greatest running backs in the history of the Indianapolis Colts.
Please note, this is only a look at running backs who played in Indianapolis. This is not a slight against the Baltimore Colt greats like Lydell Mitchell and Lenny Moore. It's just that ...
I really love the time between weeks three and four of the season. We've seen teams enough to start to get a feel for who may or may not have a good year. Still, there's a long season left and even an 0-3 start doesn't mean you should start booking your beach house in January just yet. For the Colts, we've seen a lot, yet you know there's still 13 ...
After the Colts' showcased a miserable display of run defense against the Dolphins on Monday, it shouldn't surprise anyone to see that the Cardinals are favored in the Sunday night matchup.
Watching Miami have their way with the Colts' defense must have Cardinal fans salivating at the possibility of what Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, and company can do.

The Titans have won two division championships. Every other title has been claimed by the Colts.
What's truly astonishing about the Colts' dominance in the division is this stat: only once, in 2002, have the Colts had a one-game lead in the division and failed to ...
Hank Baskett Is an Indianapolis Colt, Reggie Wayne Still Left Carrying the Load
Posted: 17th September 2009 by Nick South in NFL
I'm sitting down to my lunch break today when I get the news that former Philadelphia Eagle wide receiver Hank Baskett is soon to be a Colt.
As usual, I immediately check the Colts' forum and already see that about 50 posts have been made discussing the latest Indianapolis signing. Lots of opinions are already coming out about the signing, some negative, but mostly it's been positive.
My thought?
Whoop-dee-doo.
Color me cynical, but ...
There's a well known expression about the importance of history.
Those that ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
The Colts nearly lost their season opener to the Jacksonville Jaguars because they ignored history and allowed it to repeat.
The bitter defeat to the San Diego Chargers in the playoffs last season boiled down to the Colts' inability to convert a third and short play because they couldn't run to get the first ...
