Earlier in the week, the Colts parted ways with LB Sio Moore who they released after he seriously struggled against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Moore was brought in to replace Freeman after they decided to let him walk in the offseason. Seeing Moore released had to make Freeman smile.

Freeman has never once shown any bitterness towards the Colts decision to let him go, but he’s a professional and he has a serious competitive streak. You can’t be as competitive as Freeman and not want to show the Colts what type of mistake they made.

Freeman is going to be all over the field (again), recording double digit tackles, but he’s going to put his stamp on this game with a big defensive play. Perhaps a sack, an interception or be involved on a fumble. Freeman will exact his revenge on Ryan Grigson and the Colts.
