Self-explanatory, I'm trying to get a feel for the goods and bads of all the teams so far.

1.Andrew Luck, the guy is going to be a beast.
2.Coby Fleener, seemed to be some worry after preseason performance...i think they knew they had chemistry so Luck was working to everyone else in the preseason...Fleener is going to put up some big numbers
3. Love Pagano and the hybrid D, cant waut to watch them progress throughout the year!

1.Oline depth is nonexistant
2.Dline the same
3.Im not really to worried about anything else.... Expextations are low this season, so im just ready to watch them grow!

Positives
1. Andrew Luck - Once Luck settles down, will be very good this year. With a chance to be very very good in the future
2. Special Teams - In the Polian era, we didn't bring in players for special teams. We just threw non starters on special teams and even though everyone was fast they didn't get in position to stop returners. We were able to stop Hester before he reached the 30 a couple times which is unheard of and Joe Lefeged knocked 2 punts down at the 5 yard line
3. Reggie Wayne - Not only did he take less money to return to this team. (DON'T CALL IT REBUILDING) But this off season instead of going to U of Miami to train like he has his entire career. He came to Indy to work with the other receivers and at one point worked out with Luck, Donnie Avery and Griff Whalen in a workout in Miami. And to top it all off he has been a ROCK.
HM - Jerrell Freeman

Negatives
1. Dwight Freeney injury - We were getting great pressure on Cutler, kept him on his heels through most of the first quarter until Freeney was injured and the Bears were able to have their way with the D on the VERY NEXT PLAY. No pass rush after that.
2. OL - Outside of Anthony Castonzo, and to an extent Samson Satele who was 'eh' the rest of the OL was turrible. LG Joe Reitz needs to come back and play to give us some semblance of help.
3. Jerraud Powers - he had a bad game. Not sure if being limited in practive all week because of an injury had anything to do with it.
