Trade of Lawton Meaning Change Back to Spread Offense?

From: Pro Football Weekly
By trading FB Luke Lawton to the Eagles for a conditional 2009 draft pick Friday, the Colts sent a message that they’re reverting to their core spread-offense principles. The Colts experimented with Lawton as a traditional fullback in ’07, but it’s readily apparent that the team will employ two tight ends instead [...]

As expected (at least I expected), Indianapolis Colts head coach Tony Dungy will remain as head coach for at least the 2008 season, according to Adam Schefter of NFL Network.  In a news conference which took place at 4:30 EST (televised on ESPN News) and included Dungy, team owner Jim Irsay, general manager Bill [...]

Colts To Retain Key Players For Next Season

                                
I think it is safe to say that no matter who the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts  - and I still say Tony Dungy returns - is for 2008, he will inherit a team that isn’t markedly different than the team in 2007.  Seventeen of 22 starters, along with the kicker, punter and [...]

Indianapolis Colts All-Star Team (1984-2007)

                             
It isn’t often that a All-Star team is put together for a team that is making the transition to move from one football stadium to another; in the Indianapolis Colts’ case, they will be relocating up the street from the RCA Dome to the brand-new Lucas Oil Stadium next year.  With that in mind, [...]
