RIP "Mr. Raider"...an all time great!

More pressure should force more turnovers...interceptions are something that could have helped last year...only 10.

Yup, I have seen a few funny updates on various Wiki pages over the years.

Love it, means training camp isn't too far away!

Versatility has always been a desired commodity in the NFL, though I agree that the Colts seemed to be more active in that thought process this past draft. I have always been a big proponent of it and feel that the most overlooked non starter is a good swing tackle. A player that can come in at both right and left tackle without too big of a drop off...as it helps with roster availability on game day, plus injuries. The Colts have been trending with the converted Safety to Linebacker for several years now and I am grateful for that. Pass coverage for Linebackers is a must in today's game. Nice post!

This is an excellent question! I am going to wimp out and say Cross at FS...lol!

I went with 9, just being precautious as I want to see what AR15 is capable of doing in a full season.

Until we see what we really have in AR15, meaning a relatively injury free season, I am going with 9-8. Possibly 10-7. Btw, I really don't care for the odd number of games, lol.

At least the divisional games are spread out...on paper, it looks like a decent schedule.

A little more on the subject. It seems Smith declined to say what the surgery was according to this article. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2024/05/14/colts-rt-braden-smiths-knee-already-in-a-better-spot-than-last-year/73689002007/

I am curious to find out what the surgery was...I know it was left knee, but what type of surgery on the knee?

That is why I don't care for "all time lists" in any sport. The players and games have evolved, with rule changes as well. I prefer to judge a player's "rank" with regard to their time period. And you are correct, Wilt was completely dominant.

Nice! Lydell was special as well! Those years are when I first really started understanding the game. Too bad they faced the great Steeler and Raider teams in the playoffs.

That must have been something to see him play live! I agree with you, the paralells with Luck are freaky. Let's hope AR is the charm!
