Excerpt:

"That's the plan," he said Thursday. "Looking forward to being out there with the fellas again." Mathis has five sacks in four games this season. He got a limited number of snaps in practice Wednesday, but doesn't expect any limitations Sunday. "I'm feeling pretty good," he said. "I'm itching to be out there." Among the people most excited about Mathis' return: defensive coordinator Greg Manusky. "He's a Pro Bowler," Manusky said. "He's a difference maker, and that's what we're looking for on Sunday out of him." Mathis' injury has meant more than a loss of production. "I think more than the play itself, the sacks, is the passion he brings to the game," Colts interim coach Bruce Arians said. "Not to say the guys aren't giving everything they have, but he's got a special fervor, a special passion.

He gave a great speech before the last home game and I thought it was great the way he did it, the way he presented it, he challenged each guy. That heartbeat you can't replace."

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
