And likes what he sees. Here’s his bio
Q: You used the word “explosive” to describe the mold of Indy’s players. How does this differ from, say, Al Davis and the Raiders and their mold of speed?
A: Well it’s all functional. The Raiders get a lot of tall angular guys who aren’t as quick-twitch moving. Bob Sanders and Dwight Freeney are perfect examples. On the height-weight-speed chart they’re undersized, but they can explode because of their size. Like Gary Brackett. Undersized guys who can explode from point A to point B without that standing quickness. That’s pretty much what falls in line with a lot of these players the Colts have. Even a guy like Freddy Kelaho, who went to Jacksonville. They have guys like that, 5’11” linebackers who are quick. That first-step quickness. The Raiders tend to get bigger, taller, lengthier guys. They’re not as quick-twitch. They’re more striding type. They go for speed on paper. The Colts get the functional explosive guys as opposed to the 40-yard dash. But there teams like the Packers and the Raiders that would bump these guys down a notch or two because they don’t have the height, but the Colts put a premium on that, it seems like.
