That went back to college. UNC Quinn DEMOLISHED BC Castanzo, he had like 3 sacks in the game. It made me scared of AC being the LT.

Bob is still the best safety I ever saw. Better than Reed and Polamalu, and they would be the standard otherwise. Shame he couldn't stay healthy.

That's a stretch, IMO, but Bawb was incredibly impactful when healthy.

To me, the greatest I ever saw was Kenny Easley. Bawb did remind me of him a bit.

I wasn't alive for part of the 80s. I've only watched football since 1995. In that time, I can't name a more impactful safety than Bob Sanders when healthy.

I don’t have the tackles yet, but according to pff Smith dishes 5th among tackles and Raimann finished 7th.

The line overall was rated 3rd by pff. That’s with starting a rookie RT most of the year.

Exciting stuff for next season. Sort of wishing it was August already, but also excited for draft season.

Crazy what a change in coaching can do for essentially the same group of players.

I don't know, I don't buy it. They guys seem to like Sparano, which is great.

But Chris Strausser wasn't just the O-Line coach for the '22 disaster. He was also there for '19, '20, and '21 when the Colts had one of the best O-Lines in the league (like they do again now).

'22 was just a freak fucking year top to bottom. Our vets had injuries and personal issues and young guys, who are now solid starters, were thrown to the wolves and took their inevitable lumps.

I'm not saying Sparano isn't an improvement, but I don't think '22 should be scapegoated to Strausser as if it defined his tenure. A lot of guys tried to make it out as if '22 defined this same OL unit, too. Clearly, it doesn't.
