7 O

Johnny O’s Magnificent 7 makes a great point:

6) An ironic twist. Funny how the NFL works. A little less than six months ago, the Colts had just completed the NFL Draft, and anyone who knew anything about football — and those of us who don’t — would have sworn the Colts were going to be improved against the run. We knew the reasons — DT Fili Moala (second-round draft choice), DT Terrence Taylor (fourth-round draft choice) and DT Ed Johnson (free-agent re-signing). Now, Johnson has been released, Taylor never made it to the regular season and Moala played a relatively insignificant role in his lone start of the season this past week. The Colts are for the most part playing the run well with Antonio Johnson (signed off the Tennessee practice squad last season), Dan Muir (signed off waivers just before last season) and Eric Foster (undrafted free agent) — playing the key roles. No wonder Colts President Bill Polian pays scant attention to pundits.
