Colts 2023 A Time To Change

I for one am thankful he is here. Best backup we have had.

I'm thankful as well because he is going to play a lot the way things look.

That’s cool. Credit to Chris Ballard where credit is due.

6-5 and certainly should be 7-4… Under the circumstances, I’ll take it.

Looks like I was right about Bryce Young. ​

Commitment to Bryce Young complicates Panthers' coaching search

When it comes to the second annual coaching search for the suddenly dysfunctional Panthers, the easy take goes like this: "They'll quickly find a new coach; there are only 32 of these jobs."

That makes the playoff push a little more difficult

It’s Moss’s job again

It’s Moss’s job again

He's too injury prone. We should have drafted Chris Rodriguez instead of giving JT an extension.

Jonathan Taylor to have thumb surgery, Colts hope he's back in 2-3 weeks

Taylor has four touchdowns in the last three weeks.

Can Jones and Brents be the cornerbacks of the future for Indy? Jones is off to an impressive start.

 

[tbhausen]

Moss will step up. We will be just fine.

Man. So many injuries this year. It’s like NFL players get hurt regardless of play style or history or age or experience or position. Weird.

Also, big loss for the Texans. Could it derail their Cinderella story?

I do not find it surprising at all. Technology in training and fitness has enabled athletes to have speed and size that the rest of the body cannot handle. (Bob Sanders was a poster child of this.). Think of it as a car with a 1000hp that still relies on a light duty frame to control power to the wheels. The skeletal structure and ligaments and tendons of a lineman is not much different than ours…

I read an article about this a couple years ago. It talked about how some athlete's muscles were so strong that they were tearing their own ligaments and tendons.

Happens to pitchers all the time. Throwing 95+ consistently and their elbows just explode.

So at the end of the day there is a baseline of what can be consistently achieved by the body without injury and super freaks are more likely to suffer injury…

They’re all super freaks in the NFL. All of them.

The third string tackle on the Panthers is more athletic than anyone you’ve ever met.

They’re all exceeding the limits of normal humans. They’re all top-fuel dragsters running on the ragged edge.

Well that's just a bit of an exaggeration, but the point is fairly accurate.

I've been around some NFL players in the wild and comparing them all to being the top fuel dragsters of the sport just doesn't hold water. Yes, those who play what are often referred to as weapons positions that would be a fair assessment though.

When you start talking about linemen, those that I've known were really very similar to some power lifters that I've known. Still sorta freakish but moreso because of the time they're able to dedicate to simply working out.

And power lifters get injured all the time.

They’re all at the limits of what humans can do.

That’s why they’re in the pros and not selling cars in Des Moines.
