Indianapolis Colts Priority Undrafted Free Agents
Jun 24th
Although the NFL lockout will keep teams from pursuing undrafted free agents following the 2011 NFL Draft, one can be sure that teams are hard at work coming up with a list of players they want to call when the lockout if lifted. For the Indianapolis Colts, there are a few positions they probably would like to grab a few players to compete during summer activities and training camp — assuming either actually happen. This list will be comprised of players Coltzilla feels are in the highest need areas on the team, players the team met prior to the draft — who have historically been free agent signings — and players who are the most talented signing possibilities. Check out the list after the jump.
*Bumping this story because free agency is going to be a whirlwind process this year and it will likely happen within the next couple of weeks. More >

Coltzilla’s Ultimate Colts Mock Draft
Apr 28th
No comments
As NFL Draft crazed football fans already know, one of the biggest problems with mock drafts is that they are extremely unlikely to be accurate. Knowing how each team will pick, let alone the teams writers are most familiar with, is a shot in the dark scenario. Accordingly, Coltzilla has put together the “Ultimate Colts Mock Draft” which will list those players who may be available when the Colts make each of their six selections.
The Ultimate Colts Mock Draft will include prospects from nearly all positions in each round, and will attempt to rate the players in order in each round based upon our assessment of the raw best player available standard. Each of the players listed should be in contention for the most valuable player on the draft board specifically for the Colts, so this delineation hopes be useful following the draft to subjectively determine how team needs may affect Indy’s draft room.

Assessing Positional Value for the Colts 2011 NFL Draft: Defensive Tackle
Apr 27th
No comments
For the first time in many years, the Indianapolis Colts have reason to be excited about their defensive tackle rotation. No, the group is certainly not one of the highest rated units in the league, but it is filled with players who more adequately play the role Indy’s defensive scheme requires than any group since the team had Anthony “Booger” McFarland in 2006. Gone are the days of sub-300 pound players trying to stop the run. The unit is bigger and many of its members are improving.
Consider that 2009 second round draft pick Fili Moala started every game in 2010. More importantly, he improved significantly from a disappointing rookie campaign. Veteran Eric Foster has moved into a situational pass rushing role and that he has improved each year he has been with the team. Even rookie Ricardo Mathews showed signs of real potential in limited action.
The only real doubt for Indianapolis as they head into 2011 is who will play the one-technique — nose tackle — role. The team has historically struggled against the run, and those struggles continued in 2010 when Daniel Muir was forced to start in place of Antonio “Mookie” Johnson — who missed significant time due to nagging injuries. When Johnson returned late in the season, the run defense improved significantly. Whether the team will be able to re-sign Johnson, once a new CBA is instituted and the lockout is lifted for good, is an unknown and could have a significant impact on how tempted the team will be to invest an early pick on the interior of the defensive line.

Ashley Manning Gives Birth to Twins (Confirmed)
Apr 12th
Peyton and Ashley Manning in the Colts Locker room / Indianapolis Star
While this story has been floating around over a week now — initially reported by a Tennessee Volunteers blog — recent requests by the Manning family for the Indianapolis Star not to report on speculation created uncertainty surrounding reports of twins born to 4-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning and his wife, Ashley Manning. Without hard evidence or reputable sources to confirm this story, Coltzilla chose to respect the Manning family’s request for privacy and give them whatever time they desired to get comfortable in their new role as parents, or deal with any unknown issues or complications that may have been involved. That changed today, when the local Indianapolis Channel 6 News station obtained copies of a pair of birth certificates filed to the Marion County Health Department in which Colts Quarterback Peyton Manning and his wife Louisa “Ashley” Manning are named as parents.
