And there is no issue having (2) big Guard contracts if your (2) Tackles are on rookie deals. I'm not sure why so many doubters of the possibility, never seem to correlate it with common NFL practices, of tackles moving inside later in their career, to extend it. Everyone just wants to be right about something, instead of looking objectively at it. If Sparano thinks: Raimann, Nelson, Kelly, Smith, Freeland/ or Goncalves Is better than: Raimann, Nelson, Kelly, Fries, Smith They will do it. Also got Bortolini in there trying to battle for a spot. -

Ouch. Didn’t expect a sweep, but I’m also not surprised by it. Boston is the best of the bunch. Have been all year. The only way the West has a chance in the finals is to combine the two teams left into super teams to beat them. And even then, Boston still has a real good chance. All I can say is the future is bright and it’s fun to be a fan again. I’m still too sports emotionally drained from watching my favorite driver lose the 500 out of T3 coming to the checkers with my own eyes to go through a postmortem on the Pacers yet. 😵💫 -
Should of called a timeout in game 3 on the last possession. Carlisle deserves a lot of blame as well. Bad rotations, bad challenge usage, no timeouts when needed. All in all is was a good year, but the more I think about the missed opportunity this year ended up being, it's a little rough. We had a legit chance at a championship at this point of the playoffs and outplayed them in 3 of the 4 games for 47 minutes. Just hope to return this deep in the playoffs again soon, it's never a given.

The idea that Smith could be a guard didn't originate with the fans at all. Smith was a guard in college, and Ballard viewed him as a guard prospect when they drafted him. The Colts had an opening at RT in 2018, and early in the season, they put Smith into the lineup at RT, and kept him there. That was a long time ago, and Smith has proven himself as a really good RT. His athleticism and technical ability have mostly compensated for his lack of length on the outside. But it's common for NFL tackles to move inside as they get older and their athleticism drops a notch. I personally think guard play is just as important as tackle play, and RG is the weakest spot on the OL right now, so I have no problem with the idea of moving Smith inside, even if he's still performing well at RT. If -- IF -- it would improve the overall line play, it should be considered. The question is whether Smith would be an improvement at RG (I think he would), and whether we have a RT candidate who can take Smith's place without a significant drop off (I don't think we do, not yet). Acting like Colts fans just came up with this idea is revisionist. The Colts viewed Smith as a guard when they drafted him, and it's common for OTs to move inside. I'm not obsessed with the idea, but it's also not entirely wild-eyed. -
