Don Banks of SI.com didn’t like the Colts last week, but that didn’t stop him from doing an excellent (and lengthy) piece on the Horse today.
Here’s some of the best quotes:
Between the return to health of the offensive line and the drafting of Connecticut running back Donald Brown in the first round, I expect the Colts’ running game to rebound considerably from last season’s next-to-last ranking. One NFL personnel man I trust told me last April that Brown would eventually be the best runner coming out of this year’s draft, and Caldwell sounds as if he’s rapidly coming around to that point of view.
Peyton Manning-“One thing (new head coach Jim) Caldwell talked about at the start of camp was we can’t look in the past, we’ve got to live in the now,” said Manning, after a morning practice and just before an ESPN The Magazine cover shoot. “Although I’m kind of one of those old-school guys, I guess. We’ve had players whose pictures were on the wall by our meeting rooms, and all of sudden they’re released, and the picture is down and it’s like the guy never played here. I’m one of those who kind of likes to linger on things a little bit. I just never want to forget the impact the guy made on your team.”
Amen, 18. Amen. That’s why we have the Classic Colts.
