I think Pierce is to defense what Manning is to offense in terms of acumen and that sort of thing. Pierce was trying to jam Peyton's calls and audible over him.

Yea Arington.. I was talking about his introduction piece.

Key word there is "trying." From the looks of it, he didn't accomplish a damned thing. Colts only had 3 penalties for 20 yards - I didn't see a single false start or busted play on the part of the Colts, so I'm not sure what good all Pierce's attempts at disrupting the communication did.

I have a hard time believing anyone on the Colts offense was mistaking Peyton's voice for Pierce's voice - really no confusion at all.

Is there something wrong with that? Manning shifts the offense around when he looks at the defense's formations. It's part of the game.

I hope Marcus Washington directs the D like that too.

I'd take the Brunell signing over Pierce all day long.

I tell you what was another good non-signing a lot of us are not totally aware of - Courtney Brown. He's out again with a knee injury. Just think, what two years removed from not signing him, I wonder if a guy like Andre Carter is able to come to DC because we passed C. Brown??

Man, you're not kidding. Courtney Brown -- what a sad-luck case he is.

Incidentally, one of the players I'll be watching closely is Andre Carter. He got zero pressure on anyone in preseason, and with only 4 sacks in San Fran last year, I'm not as optimistic as some are about his signing. We'll see what kind of contribution he'll make with Daniels on the other side.

Are you serious? Brunell is terrible. You guys are going to be disappointed with him AGAIN this season.

He's better than Eli any day.

Maybe when he was younger but not now.

I wasn't crazy about Madison and McQuarters who they seem to only be using as the nickel-back, but I did like the Demps pick-up.

However, they ARE an improvement over Allen and Peterson who were absolute garbage the past 3 years. Then again, that is like saying a guy goes to work one day smelling like horse manure, the next day smells like dog$hit. Does he smell better? Probably. Does he smell good? Hell no.

I think it was more about the soft-zone coverage they called. I can deal with Peyton making plays, but eventually you need to mix up your coverage.
