Big work day, so I’m behind on my Johnny O. Here’s some great links.
Manning talks about how important Edge was
Manning said James’ addition was critical not only to the Colts’ offensive development, but its success this decade. The team went 3-13 in 1998, then 13-3 in his rookie season.
“Edgerrin was the key to our running game, and really our offense kind of becoming what it was,” Manning said. “They had to play the run every single play. All of a sudden the buzzword kind of got out about our play action. We had these great fakes and all these plays down the field.
“It was because No. 32 was back there. It wasn’t just because ’some guy’ was back there. . . . He was really one of the pillars to getting the Colts turned around and helping us become a winning franchise and having teams respect the Colts more.”
Manning is named AFC Player of the month. I’m sure he’ll treasure that forever.
Finally, it’s Oehser’s Magnificent 7
5) Changing of the guard? No one’s perfect, particularly not your Indianapolis Colts Examiner, and I admit I didn’t see this one coming. But it’s apparent in recent days that first-year veteran Kyle DeVan is making a serious push at right guard. Second-year veteran Mike Pollak was a second-round selection in the 2008 NFL Draft and DeVan was signed from AFL2, but DeVan rotated in at times against Arizona and Colts and Caldwell said that won’t likely change.
