There are some grating sentances in this article
Imagine that — the NFL continues to trend toward a passing-oriented league and the team with one of, if not the best, gunslingers is trying to find more balance. It makes sense if you think about it, though. As Manning’s 35th birthday rapidly approaches, why not make his life easier by alleviating pressure? We know the Colts don’t again want to see him press like he did during the three-game losing streak last season when he threw 11 interceptions, and that was a result of being one-dimensional.
In 13 years with the organization, Bill Polian never has drafted an offensive lineman in the first round. With a deep class of prospects this April, he needs to hit a home run on a left tackle who can step in and play immediately. That kills two birds with one stone, as Charlie Johnson(notes), last year’s starter at the OLT spot, would be better at right tackle or guard anyway.
He’s hit it on the nose. Going more run heavy flies in the face of the way football is going. It’s not 1997. The Broncos route will not work.
