Colts president Polian offers high praise for new coordinator Meeks

CHARLOTTE – Ron Meeks may have left the Indianapolis Colts, but you aren’t going to hear his former boss Bill Polian utter a disparaging remark about him.

Polian, the Colts team president for the last 11 seasons, made it clear he has the “utmost respect” for Meeks “as a person and as a football coach,” and believes the Panthers made an outstanding move Monday when they hired him as defensive coordinator...."

Polian said regardless of what Meeks decides, he’ll find a way to get the most out of his players.

“Ron, I think, was almost a little hamstrung in our system because it was pre-circumscribed what we were going to do as far as the players we had,” Polian said. “You had to do certain things with them (because of their skills). We were heavily zone, and it worked because of the guys we had and because of other things that were built into the system.

“But Ron has a broad enough knowledge that he can tweak it. He can adapt the system to almost any player. So in some respects he might be more creative in Carolina than he was when he was in Indianapolis.”

This was particularly reassuring.

“One of the things I like best about him is he’s the same positive guy every day,” Polian said. “He doesn’t change a whole lot. Winning doesn’t make him too high and losing doesn’t leave him too low.

Does that mean that he and Fox will both be clapping on the sidelines when we screw up a play?... :(

:D

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Teams do some super stupid stuff with mid-fairly good QBs. I think they are just absolutely terrified they will be stuck with a QB that is not the quality of the QB they have now, even if its someone like Daniel Jones. Lots of trash QBs go in the first round. I encourage you to take a look at the sad, sad list of first round QBs in the last 15 years.

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.
