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.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      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.
