Sanders back, and ready to hit

Normalcy with an attitude returned to the Indianapolis Colts' defense Wednesday.

[Greg Nichols]

Take it easy Bob Sanders! We need you the whole season!

[IU Guy 68]

Big Bob ready to smack some pats.

[Hes the man]

Bob does the same thing in the NFL that he did in college, scare opponents and knock the crap out of them.
Stay healthy hitman.

Chuck Norris ran from Bob Sanders.

[bob sanders]

i am the ERASER!!

[Jay]

Sanders is the man. I hope they don't being him back too early.

[oh yea]

The rest of the AFC south just started crying because they know they'll have to worry about seeing him twice this year, which means HELLO 5th consecutive division title baby.

Sept 6th....two weeks away!!

When Bob Sanders was practicing for the Super Bowl...He tackled actual bears

Here is another stat about the Colts to chew on. Everyone wants to point to Bob Sanders as being the difference in the playoffs and it's true he did help a lot, but check this out:

"With Sanders out 12 games with a knee injury, the Colts fielded one of the worst run defenses in NFL history during the regular season -- 173 yards allowed per game, 5.3 per attempt. But with Sanders back in full form for the playoffs, filling gaps like a fourth linebacker and finishing plays, the defense became the driving force behind the championship run. It allowed averages of 82.8 yards running for those four games, 4.1 per attempt."

Amazing? Maybe not. If we look beyond the numbers we see that:

in the regular season teams ran an average of 33 running plays against the Colts.
In the playoffs teams ran an average of 20 running plays against the Colts.

WHY? No one really knows, but I would think that it was because they felt the pressure to keep up with the Colts Offense. So maybe, just maybe, defenses don't always win championships.

[colts fan]

giddy up horse!
Bob Sanders is a guided missle.
Stay healthy!

[resident]

Bob you are HOT!!!!!!

I'll tell you why. Lack of first downs = less Time of Possession = Less Plays = Bob Sanders is a bad man!!

Take it slow Bob. These games do not mean anything! Save it for Reggie Bush and put a "You got Jacked Up" hit on him like the one he got last year in the playoffs.

[ruhung2]

sounds like resident wants to bobb on bob

[xmarr]

Bob "THE HITMAN" Sanders is back!!!!

[Snitch]

If this cat stays healthy,look out!I'll bet Larry Johnson,Jamal Lewis and that one dude from the Bears heads are still ringing,Talk about a de-cleater!BAM BABY! LIGHTS OUT!

[Big Bob]

Another article on Bob Sanders? Someone at the Star has a serious man crush.

[Sammy]

CRUNCH!!!

[Sanders not elite]

If Sanders could defend the pass like he does the run he would be considered with the other top safetys in the league. And it helps if he could ever play a full season. That Colts D will just be laughable this year. Can you say Rob Morris and Raheem Brock ! What a joke.

NFL TOP 5 SAFETEY
ED REED
SEAN DAWKINS
ADRIAN WILSON
SEAN TAYLOR

I hope Colts can win the AFC South seeing how its the second weakest divison in football behind the AFC North. Btw, I am not a Lions fan, so you can hold off the Lions jokes.

[Bleeding Blue]

The first team D looked very good against the Bears. Now with our man back...the rest of the NFL better watch out! Bethea better stay healthy because #43 Matty G., Bob's back up, could sneak into the starting line up opposite #21.
