On Arians: Yes he took Rothlesberger, as a rookie to the be the SB champ. It's not like he was handed a veteren. Again, with Luck. Everyone knows the Colts were supposed to be ass. Yet, they came together with a new GM, new coaching staff, 36 new players and 6 starting rookies. Let alone the whole Pagano ordeal. Arians is long overdue for a shot.

Knew I was forgetting someone. Thanks

You give Angelo credit for players he did not draft. Drafted starters: Briggs, Tillman, Paea, Steltz, Wright and Conte.(maybe Wooten and SMC) Not drafted: Peppers, Jennings, Roach, Urlacher, Idonije, Toinae, Hayden, Hayes and Okoye all started this year. Problem is the disproportionate amount of picks he used on DL, S and CB vs the lack of picks he used on OL, WR and TE. JA was good at everything but drafting...

I'm wondering if Emery doen't keep Davis. He specifically mentioned Davis in his presser after firing Lovie. Scary huh?

Damn, wish Te'o could've stoned Lacey like that. Dude can run too...

Not this year, unless Lovie gets a gig.

I like it with the TE option. More than 2 OL drafted is excessive.

Agreed. I live in the Indy area and Arians is a god around here. The Colts were supposed to be a complete disaster this past season.(Pre-season power rank was 32) Everyone around here are still on cloud nine and full of hope for next season. Anyone in Pittsburgh that says they don't want him back is delusional...

For starters, he's probably the only coach we have that's in demand. It also may be as simple as him being the only one to ask...

Gotta correct here. Gronkowski is probably the best blocking TE in the game.

Tend to agree.

Arians - Love what he did with the Browns, Steelers and Colts. Overdue for a shot... Dennison McCoy Trestman

I believe Lovie yanked him after further evaluation at halftime.

I think they can be effective. I was not dissatisfied with their play this year.

It's never a waste of time to spend some time on the great ones of your franchises history. Singletary has forever earned his respect.

Just speaking in measurables. But, you already knew that...

Give it a break. Roach and Url are not under contract. You know Hayes is horrible as well. So we do have ONE starting LB, a backup that sucks and an untested guy. Not saying we draft LB in the first, hell no for safety. BTW - Briggs is NOT what he used to be and he aint gettin any younger either.

He's a Dallas Clark clone. Clark is listed at 6'3, but I can guarantee he's 6'1. He was a beast for years at TE.

They were young and on an upswing. I said they needed an OC and they got an offensive coach, OC and drafted offense. Singletary built the base of that team. They still play with the identity he instilled in them. He was not horrendous. Anyway, I'm endorsing him as a DC not HC.

I agree there's a place for him. I just longer think it's in the 1st round.

I actually like Singletary if the new HC wanted him for the DC/asst HC role. He was not a flop in SF. Look at the team he left Harbaugh. Both sides of the ball are solid. Singletary just had no offensive coordinator. Love love love how he handle Vernon Davis. Davis credits him too...

Just posted about Te'o in another topic and thought my comments were going to be controversial. Then, I get to this thread. With using different words, I'm with Terra Tor...

I focussed on Teo alot last night. He was slow and weak at the point of attack. Huge concerns for him moving to the pro level. His height and weight are listed as suitable, but he looks 20 lbs smaller on the field. I'm off his bandwagon...

I agree that sacks do not tell the whole story. To me, it's the question of what the protection was when the sack or pressure was observed. This brings the point of the data/analysis you would like to see, as stated above. There are flaws in all types of player analysis. The primary reciever tripped or ran the wrong route, causing the QB to go through his progressions. In the meantime, the OL set up for a protection that can no longer be effective due to the WR. There's one instance. Another could be that there are several protections that can be called and we don't have that information on each individual play, so all we see is the success or failure and sometimes the wrong person is to blame. So, unless you have the precise play and the protection for that exact play, any data is not and can not be conclusive. So, having that is useless to us and even other NFL people. It's individual team inclusive. Now to GB and the sacks. I beleive GB is running their whole offense, which includes plays of risk, which means slow developing or less protection. That is the difference from the Bears. We often saw max protect, meaning their are less targets in the route. I don't believe we ever ran our entire offense. We as fans have to rely on how it looks and feels.
