  1. Yesterday surprised me. I had predicted they wouldn’t win a single game, but the whole team played better than I expected. Get AR experienced, get Hull healthy and experienced, add Marvin Harrison Jr in the draft, and next year can be exciting
  2. He got a 64 for pass blocking. If he is a 64 and the worst- and AR still was under pressure, I’m guessing the receivers weren’t open and it wasn’t the OL? I drive a truck, so I only heard the radio broadcast, didn’t see any of it.
  3. The most recent Colt RB that most fit Steichen’s System was Nyheim Hines. Now, it’s Hull. But he’s hurt.
  4. Fries played mostly Tackle at Penn St. That’s what the Colts drafted him to play. He was put in at Guard last year here because of his Pass Protection. He was not strong enough for NFL Run Blocking. The Colts picked Sills off Phila’s Waiver List because of his Strong Run Blocking, but admit that Fries is the better in Pass Pro. I’ve never seen a report saying Fries is known for his Run Blocking.
  5. I heard on NFL Radio he has to be Active for 6 games to get credit for this year.
  6. In the 1970s I hauled Army Tanks from Letterkenny Army Depot, Carlisle Pa- to Fort Bliss, El Paso, Tx.
  7. I’ve never been on Twitter, but Musk said in interviews that he uses the blue check to show that an actual person posted. Musk has said thatPrior to him buying Twitter, during Election time and during Covid that almost half of the postings were Bots, and not by an actual human. Made to look like far more posters had an opinion than actually did. He did this to get actual numbers and force the fakers off his product.
  8. He was drafted as an OT. Played four times as much Tackle at Penn St as he played OG.
  9. I’m a truck driver. I delivered to Michael Porter Sr when he was an Assistant at U of Missouri. His kids were there (Jr was probably about 12?) passing a football. I picked up the ball and told Jr to go deep (I USED to have an arm!). Wound up, ball slipped and I threw it straight into the ground…..
  10. Would Hines fit back here in Indy with Steichen’s Offense? I could see that, if both sides were willing. Steichen’s Offense seems more fitting than Frank’s was, at least.
  11. I wasn’t meaning to disparage Johnny U. IMO, he’s the All Time NFL GOAT! Slightly ahead of Joe Montana.
  12. Bowlegged Unitas couldn’t run a lick. He handed off to Lenny Moore- who was All NFL for the 50th Anniversary Team. Unitas passed to NFL All Pro Raymond Berry, and All Pro John Mackey. Johnny U took horrible beatings, because there were very few rules protecting QBs. But he was one Tough SOB, and a Never Give Up Leader!
  13. Smith was rated the 2nd Best College Guard when he was drafted. 2nd only to Nelson. Ironicly, Will Fries was drafted as a Tackle. He started 35 games for Penn State at Tackle, and only 9 at Guard.
  14. You are correct about it being in Indy. I once had that game on VHS. Chris Chandler was the QB, and Dickerson got oodles of yards on his every touch.
  15. Actually, he does have a Super Bowl appearance and won the first half. If I recall correctly, he was up 28 or so to 3, when Brady took over and did what Brady does. I’d call Ballard getting him this year a Colts Win.
