What will Bob bring to the table
But the way the Colts approach it – and wisely so – is that one season has nothing to do with the other, and that just because Sanders has missed extensive time with injuries doesn’t automatically mean he will miss extensive time in future seasons. While Sanders has missed time, he has missed that time with an assortment of injuries, none of which seem to be by themselves career-threatening, and Colts President Bill Polian has said often in recent months the Colts have no plans to release Sanders, and that there is every reason to believe he can contribute in a big-time fashion next season.
Fans almost certainly will believe that when they see it, and that’s a logical approach. There’s no way to predict how much Sanders will play next season, but what can be said is the vibe around Sanders’ potentially playing extensively and doing so at a high level is a bit better this off-season than it has been in several off-seasons.
If that vibe turns into reality, the Colts suddenly add one of the NFL’s best playmaking safeties to an already effective defense, and just as suddenly an effective defense has a chance to be a special one. Will that happen? How realistic is the possibility?
