Longtime Florida State defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews long ago went from resplendent genius to a guy the internet wants to see beheaded, and the internet is getting its wish this year. Andrews will not return to FSU next year in the aftermath of a disastrous season that confirms what FSU fans have know for a while know: Andrews has checked out. But when Andrews was good, he was terrifying. In...

More photos » by Anonymous - AP Browse more photos » Some might say this was inevitable, but at least until last week we were trying to hold out hope that two time pro bowler Shawn Andrews would be able to play this year. He missed almost all of last year with a combination of depression and back troubles, the latter of which he had surgery to correct. The back troubles continued this summer...

Evander 'Ziggy' Hood (DT), Missouri 6'3", 300 The Colts haven't used a first day pick on a defensive tackle since 2002 and throughout the past several seasons they've used Booger McFarland, Corey Simon, Ed Johnson and Antonio Johnson but none has produced sustained success. The result has been a run defense that's consistently been in the bottom half of the NFL over the past four seasons. If the...

For those of you wondering what the Colts cap situation is, take a look at Colts Cap and feel better about your team. The Colts should have roughly $6,000,000 in cap space entering 2009 with the bloated specter that was Corey Simon finally coming off the books. That's right folks!

Would the Colts consider trading a first round pick for Rams DT Adam Carriker? Photo: ESPN In 2006, with the run defense ailing and Corey Simon's mysterious illness landing him on IR (and eventually out of football), Bill Polian swung one of the best (and most under-rated) trades in recent NFL history. He traded a 2nd round pick to Tampa Bay for DT Anthony "Booger" McFarland. McFarland,...

For a change, it looks like the Colts are planning to poach a player from Tennessee, instead of the other way around. The Titans are an organization that has done a good job signing cast-offs from the Colts. David Thornton, Ben Hartstock, Nick Harper, and Corey Simon were all either released or not re-signed by the Colts only to be scooped up by the Titans. Now, it looks like the Colts might set their...

Jim Wyatt has an article this morning about Michael Griffin finally getting some work at safety. It hasn't been said that he is going to start, but there are some strong hints in the article that he will. The biggest sign might be the fact that Calvin Lowry refused to comment on the situation. Chris Hope also made is sound like he thinks Griffin will be lining up next to him: "I still learn something...

Unable to reach an agreement on a contract extension with Pat Williams, the Vikings appear to be exploring their options in case the veteran nose tackle signs elsewhere following the season. According to an NFL source, the team has inquired about Corey Simon and might attempt to set up a visit for him. On Aug. 12, the Vikings signed former Miami Dolphin Fred Evans to a two-year contract. Simon, 30,...

Michael Griffin got to run with the ones yesterday in practice. Unfortunately it meant that Cortland Finnegan was bumped to working with the twos. Nick Harper was the Titans' biggest offseason acquisition so someone is going to have to far and away beat him out. However, I am officially starting the Finnegan/Griffin '07 campaign. Both guys are playmakers and that is what you need at corner. Who is...
