Hot Reads from the first official day of player preparation for the Colts’ 2013 season: >> Apparently, Pep Hamilton wants to distance himself, at least somewhat, from the “West Coast Offense” tag. Andrew Luck said Hamilton prefers to call it a “No Coast Offense” because it blends the best of [...]
When a team coming off an 11-win season signs 10 veterans during the free agency period, you’d think that team would have precious few major needs as it prepared for the NFL Draft. That is largely the case with the Colts, whose spending spree bolstered the three most vulnerable areas [...]
On his first attempt at the 40-yard dash, Vick Ballard tripped and fell into the timer. On his second, he clocked a 4.65, which ranked him 16th of the 25 running backs at the NFL Scouting Combine in 2012. The Colts drafted him in the fifth round and after a [...]
Of course, they don’t tell you everything. Many don’t tell you anything and most talk in code, as if you need a windtalker (or possibly John Clayton) to decipher the true meaning. But everybody talks at the NFL Scouting Combine, and it’s the job of scrubs like me to tell [...]

Already locked into the fifth seed in the AFC, Andrew Luck threw two touchdown passes and the Colts remained unbeaten [...]
In many ways, this season has been about answering the big questions. Is Andrew Luck the real deal? (You betcha) Was Ryan Grigson the right man to guide the franchise into the post-Peyton era? (No doubt) Was launching the post-Peyton era the right move for Jim Irsay? (Abso-friggin-lutely) How long [...]

After coming back from two-score deficits with total team victories the previous two weeks, they were unable to do so in Houston because of a total team loss. With their gift-wrapped 29-17 victory, the [...]
