only 39% of cap was spent on colts DEF

[scpanther22]

i dont know are number but i am sure it is way more than that.with that said more money invested for a meeks DEF should mean a huge inprovment for next year...

i whould like to what meeks does with a team that emphasis DEF unlike the colts..i think this could pay off big for us.only thing is i whould like to see more blitzing like philly.but dont count on it..

58% on off for colts

39% on DEF

the rest for special teams...

I think Meeks will do all right. I just hope JF will let him actually run the DF.

[Lt Pinkerton]

57% Peyton Manning

It will never happen.

He didn't do horribly with a less talented group. Id' like to see what he could do with our guys.

[E CaT PanTHer]

if you think about, that 60/40 ratio is probably true for most teams, since usually the 2 most expensive players on any team are the QB and Left Tackle.

[Sandy Claws]

57% Peyton Manning

Actually, he is damn close to 20% of their cap. Take him out of the mix and the rest is close to a 50-50 split off - def.

lol where's that guy that was trying to tell me that most of the colts pay was spent on the defensive side of the ball? haha.

i never said most of their money was spent on the defensive side of the ball but you already knew that

are you still butt hurt from me dragging you all around that thread?

oh also this is only projected for 2009 and will certainly change as contracts are restructured, players are cut, retire, or are traded, and their first round pick is spent on defense, as polian as hinted.

harrison for example is probably going to be cut/traded

Furthermore, there's the big picture, the overall team structure and salary cap situation. Offense accounts for about $71.1 million, almost 58 percent, of the Colts' $123 million salary cap allowance for 2009. The defense accounts for about $47.8 million (39 percent), with the rest devoted to special teams.

oh also it's ludicrous to think that just because the Panthers spend more on their defensive players that meeks will perform better.

Uh, you never dragged me around the thread. You replied to me 1 time and it didn't even address what I was talking about. You replied to someone that said most of their money was spent on the offense by bringing up the contracts of Mathis and Freeney. Then I said the contracts of Manning, Harrison, Wayne, Addai, Clark, and Saturday combined was not more than Mathis and Freeney combined. You retorted by talking about this year's contracts when we were talking about 2008.

oh also it's ludicrous to think that, just because the Panthers have better defensive players than Indy had, meeks will perform worse.

There we go, that's better.

It's also ludicrous to assume that just because the poor guy is labeled defensive coordinator, he will actually be in charge of coordinating the defense.
