but walter jones was an amazing athlete in his time. i'm hoping jeff otah grows up to be just like him... but without the injuries.

amazing athlete is an understatement man. check out this stat:

"On 5,703 pass attempts over 13 seasons, according to coaches stats, Walter Jones was called for holding 9 times and surrendered 23 sacks."

He is one of, if not the greatest left tackle of all time.

Let's hope that another LT is known for being that great.

Its amazing how a great o-line can make an average back like Alexander look like a pro bowl running back.

So true...Starts in the trenches, bruh.

I think Alexander was pretty good in his own right.

What happened in a year? I thought so too but he went from dormant to dominant to doormat in no time flat.

yeah I had a chance to go to the 05 NFC champ, and I'm glad I didn't I would have winded up paying $400 for a ticket to see us get badly beat, but its a little better we were in the super bowl 2 years before, if it weren't for that fact, think about how much more the memory of this game would haunt us

Walter Jones was all over sports radio up here today, they are even calling it Walter Jones Day etc... but the interviews were cool, the reporter state that Holmgren called Jones the best player he ever coached, and that's impressive, it would great if Otah got as good as Jones, but Otah is already just as good in the run game Jones seemed like the type that his pass protection is what stood out the most, they said today he only gave up 23 sacks I believe it was in 13 years in the NFL, and only got a holding penalty once every 20 games

      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.
