Booger McFarland is out for the season, per Schefter on the NFL Network.

I really hope this isn't true because it would be a big blow to our defense.

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports Colts DT Anthony McFarland will miss the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

The Colts should again be an excellent matchup for opposing running backs. Booger isn't the dominant force he once was, but was a starter and key force against the run. The Colts need rookie Quinn Pitcock, who's currently nursing an injured knee, to step up and be effective immediately.

Maybe you should do some research before calling someone "dumb" and a "troll". Idiot. Now get on your knees and get for my forgiveness.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Well, other guys are going to have to step up. Maybe if we're lucky we may be able to find a vet tackle in a trade like we did with Booger. We can't deal any of our higher picks though since we don't have our first anymore or at least it wouldn't be wise.

While it seems like everything's going downhill, I want to see how our backups play... I really want to see the rook Dawson get some PT. I have faith in DReid and Klecko. I liked our pick of Pitcock (great name BTW) out of The Ohio State University.

Like Dungy and Polian, I trust "the next guy" to step on in and do his job. Just like in real life, if something goes wrong, you don't just give up and call it a day. You either find a way to win or you make a way to win. I know it sounds cliche, but on our team, the next guy has to be (and usually is) ready to make major contributions.

One of the best things I love about our OL and DL is that we have interchangeable parts at most of the slots. You have to have the stars to anchor the lines, and we have that in DFree and Saturday. Then, the just use gameplanning and a little tweak here and there to cover up the rest. Especially on the DL, we're used to using line changes as much as possible to keep fresh legs on the field. And I like our starting OLBs better now (Morris & Keiaho) than I did l/y (Gardner & June).

I think Dawson or Pitcock will step up big-time for us. We can even move Thomas inside if we really need to. Plus, w/ Bob back and the formula to stop the ground attack we used in the post-season, I'm much more relaxed about our run D.

If push comes to shove, we can make another trade for some help.

I was listening to WNDE sports radio from Indy, and they talked about a "perfect storm" situation that would mean Warren Sapp to Indy. That is what I hope to see happen.

McFarland underwent surgery on Tuesday, Colts are still holding out hope that he may be able to return later in the season. We'll see.

I think he will return in the playoffs.

Well, his season is officially over as Booger was placed on the IR today effectively ending his 2007 season.

I see that Denver's trying to deal Gerard Warren, and their willing to pick up part of his salary. IDK what kind of person Warren is, but if we need a cheap veteran to roundout our DT rotation, I don't see why we couldn't trade a 5th or 6th-rounder for him. Plus, he's a one-gapper, only 29, and is easily a 300-lber.
