Timing as good as it gets
If the Colts are ever going to be ripe for the picking, Thursday would seem to be the time.
Obviously, the Colts are struggling, too. They have beaten the Titans by two with Luck and the Jaguars by three in overtime without Luck. Matt Hasselbeck, his replacement, is so old he played with Luck's father, Oliver.
Luck, like his predecessor Peyton Manning, has become a Texans nemesis. He is nursing a shoulder injury and might not play. There are reports he will play. Last week, there were reports he would play, but he sat out a game for the first time in his career.
The Texans have a perfect solution.
They believe Luck shouldn't rush back, that he might need to wait one more week before returning. He doesn't want to force it and aggravate the injury in front of his family and friends, not to mention a national television audience.
