I know we all look for the nasty, satisfying pancake blocks but sometimes all you really need is to slow the defender down for a split second or make him account for you by altering his angle.

I feel like 9 times out of 10 when I see a big o-lineman trying to block 10+ yards downfield, it looks awkward and they rarely make clean contact cause I don’t think those big boys are usually agile or shifty enough to be engaging with DBs and LBs in the open field.

An agile DB dodges a flying block by a guard. Yeah, that's kind of what is supposed to happen. The DB did have to slow down for a second, though, so you could conceivably call it a successful effort.

Here's the deal with Reed right now... how many times have you heard his name called? Gave up a sack? Snagged a holding penalty or a false start? How many of you actually knew the guy's name?

As guards go, he's been an upgrade here. And Miller has been good  on the right side. I'm liking what I'm seeing and the effort sure ain't bad.

      Mean girls

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      This is a toughie because I wonder what a guy like Canales thinks about redemption stories for addiction issues. Also, I think this is a case of 1 player getting caught, and not being naive enough to think this isn't more common in college than we think. I'd toss a 3rd rounder out there. 2026 is essentially a redshirt season regardless, so he's not taking over for any NFL QB next year. Best case, he's ready to go in 2027 if we pass on Bryce's extension. Worst case, he's our future backup QB2. Kid has the tools to be an NFL QB. I do think we could somehow land a '26 3rd round pick back in a trade. Our past years' third rounders are: Brazzell Princely Wallace DJ Johnson Matt Corral All this to say, I could see a team like the Jets going w/ a 2nd. They have three FRPs next year.
