Gene Wojciechowski picks Gonzo as a break out star…and the Jags to win the South. Wow.
Indianapolis Colts — If the Jags don’t win it, the Colts will. In fact, I’m already having second thoughts. What, pick against Peyton Manning?
But even though Jim Caldwell was the heir obvious to Tony Dungy, and Manning is a quasi-assistant coach, and the Colts finally realized they had to beef up their defensive line, there are some key concerns.
For starters, is safety Bob Sanders going to make more than a cameo appearance this season? He’s recovering from knee surgery and is vital to the Colts’ run support. In his last three seasons he’s played six, 15 and four games.
Can running back Joseph Addai return to form after offseason knee surgery? The Colts stunk it up on the ground last year (one 100-yard game, 31st in rushing), which is why they drafted UConn’s Donald Brown in the first round. They’ll share carries this season.
Can the defensive line finally stop the run? The preseason results have been encouraging.
