DUNGY'S DUNGY

This was a long off season.  But a productive one. 

I dont plan on writing about the loss of key players on the Colts recently.  I won't mention the one and only jersey that I own and how I really cant wear it out anymore on Sunday's.  I will most likely speak about how excited I am about the new additions to the squad, the opportunity to not miss a step this season, and the rather shaky group of QB's in the NFL this season, and others who may just not have any weapons to throw to come the first game of the season ( no matter what anyone says, it sucks to be a NE fan right now).

Lately I have scoured the Internet for news, tidbits of info that would make me feel like I was on the sideline in Indy watching them work on their plays, run special teams, etc.  Anything that would give me more details of what is going on.  Maybe even a step by step list of plays that are being executed.  but i have found nothing that informative.  So i am stuck reading the Indy Star, and Colts.com for my info, as little as it may be.

I have learned a couple of things, that I knew were going to be the case.

At this time the running back competition is beautiful.  It seems to me that D. Rhodes hears the footsteps of a tough young running back behind him and is giving it his all to be the No. 1 back which he is truly capably of. People don't understand that Tiki Barber was a backup for 3 years, and so was Priest Holmes for a few prior to their exposure to high numbers in the NFL.  D. Rhodes, has the strength to be a 1000 yard back, but maybe not the endurance to take the ball more than 20 times a game. That will be seen. 

Joseph Addai, seems to have much of what we lost in EJ.  Steady hands in the back field which on 08/03/06 were commented on highly by Peyton.  He also has tremendous spee which has surprised Colts staff recently, as that was not his strongest attribute coming in to camp.  Now all that we have to worry about is if they can protect as well as James used to.  I am sure that Edge is going to have his work cut out for him in Arizona, where the o-line consists of pure Swiss cheese.

  Hello......I am a new visitor to your journal and so I wanted to come and say hello. You will be happy to know that the Indianapolis Colts won the Super Bowl tonight 29 - 17 against the Chicago Bears. I especially loved the Halftime show in which Prince performed. I think that the Colts played wonderfully and they did everything right. I also keep a journal titled "Dear Diary" here is a link -------> http://journals.aol.com/southernmush/DearDiary/
  
  Please feel free to come by and say hello.
