    http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2944430Honestly, I always think this is a messed up move, if you're planning on retiring at least let your team know early in the offseason so that they have plenty of opportunity to replace you. The Colts Offensive Line takes a huge hit here, Glenn was one of the best.

    As I said in this thread a day or two ago, this means a better 1st rounder from the Colts for the Niners next year [​IMG]

And Cover 2 Corners are a dime a dozen and they already had their replacements in Marlin Jackson and Kelvin Hayden who have been able to learn from the starters for 2 years now. They might take a bit of a step back in those moves, but at the same time I would think that Booger McFarland and Bob Sanders being there for a full year this season will also have a huge positive impact on the DefenseTheir GM is normally great at having the foresight to realize what positions are going to be holes 1-2 years in the Future and addressing them before it becomes a problem. Hell, we're talking about a GM that has survived losing Mike Peterson, Marcus Washington, and David Thornton at Linebacker in the past few years without losing a beat.Tarik Glenn's sudden leaving will have an impact.....but we're still talking about the Colts Offense here, with the pieces they have they will still be a very productive offense. At the most it'll be a 2 game swing IMO.

Jackson and Hayden have not started for them before for a season so who knows what to expect, but I think they wont be as solid as David and Harper were just cuz the latter duo consistently started for them for a long long time. Bob Sanders owns. Booger not so much anymore.You're right about their GM, pretty damn good and probably expects the team to not miss a beat with who they have lost besides Tarik.A 2 game swing, I dont think I expected it to be any bigger but maybe 3. Well hopefully, when it comes to draft picks every win can be a big difference in the order.

    Do you think it's really going to matter as long as they got a 6-5 230 pound QB with a rocket laser arm?

    I think Peyton might experience an injury this year from a vicious hit on his blind side. Might not be major. But no LT they put in now will be nowhere close to as good as Glenn. Their option is Ugoh or a recent 6th rounder to protect Peyton's blind side... Peyton better start watching his back literally.

Last year with the Colts alone he had 45 tackles, a FR, and 2.5 sacks. That was just the 11 games he was with them. With the Bucs in 5 starts he added his 13 tackles. So a big guy meant to plug the middle getting a total of 58 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and a FR is definitley not any bit a sign of slowing up.
