Title: Colts - On Edge: Edge Edgy... to play!
Post by Callie on Oct 4^th, 2003, 8:03pm

Hasn't been practicing. Looks dicey. If you haven't heard this, look to other options this week. Or at least do the research! Also, he's playing the Bucs D.

Some corroboration on this assertion would be REALLY nice! ALL I can find speaks to the contrary! This, from "the Gridiron Newsstand":

While I agree that he should probably be considered a risky play this week because he is going up against the Bucs, it appears that he is getting over the injury. [smiley=whatever.gif]

I think he'll play, but I'd be leary to start him againts the Bucs, especially on Monday Night Football

Well, it's comin' full-circle here, fellas,... Callie. Here's the latest coming out of "the Gridiron Newsstand":

Edge, a GAME-TIME decision. That, combined with his going up against Tampa,... I would put him on my bench if I had other reasonable options.

Well, steelkings, all, it's now lookin' like Edge could very well miss next week's game as well. Here's the read on "the Gridiron Newsstand":

This is startin' to look "Alstott ugly"!

Well it looks like Edge is only a shell of his former self. At one time he took great pride in his work ethic and his ability to carry a heavy workload. Now it looks like all he wants to carry is his paycheck.

It is really a shame. Not an Emmitt Smith shame, but a shame nontheless.

I guess all the fantasy football owners who drafted The Edge on the "two year recovery from knee surgery therory" are not feeling too good about now. Hopefully they drafted some solid backups.

What is the feeling on The Edge for the rest of this season? Is he done or is there still something left in the tank?

He will be back. The Colts are playing well without him. He is still young. Why waste him and have a real problem. I think it is a smart move on the Colts part. They have the equivalant of a 3 game lead right now.

I say sit him. Next week is their bye week and then he will be rested and good to go.

According to this report out of "the Gridiron Newsstand", Edge will be playing this Sunday against the Texans... if it is up to him:
