Indianapolis Colts tickets are always popular, but they have gotten a little bump in hotness after the NFL Draft. The fans in Indy are excited to get out to the games to see the new players and how they will help the Colts get back to the Super Bowl. But will the rookies help the offense more, or the defense? How will the numbers from 2007 improve due to the new guys on the team? Let’s get into the picks and what part of the team they will improve. Then, when you realize that the Colts will get back to the Super Bowl, you can get some Indianapolis Colts tickets for the upcoming season.
The Colts did not have many picks to ponder. In fact, they did not select a player in the NFL Draft until late in the second round. When they did, they picked up a guy who will probably help out the team in an area where the Colts, although strong, might need help in the next few years. As you might know, the Colts only had five lost fumbles while rushing the ball, and Peyton Manning only threw 14 interceptions on the year, which is well above average. Manning was stellar through the air. He finished the season with 4,040 yards and 31 touchdowns, so his fantasy managers were quite happy. Joseph Addai rushed for over a thousand yards, caught passes for 364 yards, and scored 12 rushing touchdowns, 3 receiving touchdowns. He carried the ball 261 times but never fumbled the ball once. Basically, when your running game and passing attack are working like that, your offensive line is pretty good, right? Well, they are and they were. But like most goof NFL lines, they might get old quick, and there is a need for fresh, non-injured legs in the trenches.
That’s why the Colts brought in Mike Pollack with the 59th pick overall in the draft. This Arizona State center will help mainly with pass-blocking, as he can stay with anybody when it comes to lateral movement. How much time will he play next season? Depends on how many offensive linemen end up in the trainer’s room. But we predict a couple of snaps per game, as the Colts would like to get this guy up to speed quickly, and there should be lots of garbage minutes when Indy gets up by a few scores.
As you are certainly aware, the Colts’ defense was the best unit in the league by most analysis. They gave up the fewest points (262) and the third fewest yards (4,475) in the NFL. But with some Indianapolis Colts tickets you might see even better defense, as they have brought in a couple of Peach State linebackers, Phillip Wheeler (93 overall, Georgia Tech) and Marcus Howard (161 overall, Georgia).
