It's nice that Colts.com is doing article rating various draft prospects by position, though I have to wonder if it isn't the team's actual draft board listing that they've accidentally placed on the site (not unlike TV cameras catching the idiot Cowboys coaches' draft board). Regardless, when you look at two of their articles (one for the RBs and one for the TEs), there are two names missing from those lists: RB Matt Forte and TE Joey Haynos.

It's nice that Colts.com is doing article rating various draft prospects by position, though I have to wonder if it isn't the team's actual draft board listing that they've accidentally placed on the site (not unlike TV cameras catching the idiot Cowboys coaches' draft board). Regardless, when you look at two of their articles (one for the RBs and one for the TEs), there are two names missing from those lists: RB Matt Forte and TE Joey Haynos. It's no secret the Colts really, REALLY want to draft Matt Forte, and we know the Colts have expressed interest in Joey Haynos. So, it is a little curious that their names are missing from the Colts.com official rankings. I mean seriously, who are they trying to fool? While I think their TE list is decent, ranking Adam Bishop and Darrell Strong, but not ranking Joey Haynos, makes no sense. And for the RBs, not ranking Matt Forte at all is just criminal. He might be the best RB of the entire crop (ala Joseph Addai and MJ-D in 2006).
If you go to the Colts.com message board, a member has found a way to access pre-written "fluff" articles written by Colts.com writer John Oehser. Basically, Oehser writes these articles weeks in advance and has them in the site's content bank. It's not an uncommon practice. Heck, many SB Nation writers use a nifty feature we have now with the 2.0 platform that allows us to write stuff and designate a time when it gets published. That said, it is a bit humorous that Colts.com would actually post many of these articles (dated several weeks in advance) and try to hide them. That's not to say the articles are bad. They're not. Fluffy? Sure, but it's Colts.com. Do you expect them to trash their own players?

We need him in and he needs to STAY in. If he can't, IR him. Yes, I'm serious. We need people who are reliable so this team can finally start playing consistent football. Having players in and out all the time kills consistency. Stoning the Steelers running game in Pittsburgh one week and letting the Texans run all over you the next is driving me crazy. They also need to get Daniel Muir back into the rotation so guys like Mookie, Keyunta Dawson, and Eric Foster don't wear down. And, seriously, if Ryan Lilja and Roy Hall cannot play this week, IR them Mr. Polian. They have yet to play football this season and it is late November. They are taking up roster spots and not helping this team.
