Robert Mathis (AKA QB hater and harasser) is nearing a deal with the Indianapolis Colts (according to some random Colts watchdog website and Bob Kravitz). For Colts fans this is huge. Mathis is a dominant force on the Indy defense. During the dismal 2011 season, Mathis had 43 tackles (29 solo) and three forced fumbles. What statistics fail to include are the number of times Mathis scared the shit out of the opposing QB. SS (scared shitless) should be a statistic used in football.
When Mike was asked his thoughts on the imminent resigning of Robert Mathis, he said it was a good move. "Pagano and Luck will need a strong defense to keep the pressure off of the offense. Luck is replacing a legend and does not need the added stress. Furthermore, Mathis should fit well with Pagano's scheme. He will be able to get after the opposing QB."
Mike was referring to Peyton Manning as the legend.
Alright Colts, now resign your WRs.
It will be interesting to see if they can keep either Wayne or Garcon. If they don't I wouldn't be surprised to see them spend heavy on defense, and give Pagano some toys to play with. Mario Williams, Mathis and Freeney would be an awful lot like the Giants d-line.
