That's why I specifically only included the highlighted portion, and not the rest of it ...... the difference between the 2020 offensive line that Philip Rivers played behind was the antitheses of the offensive line that Matt Ryan (and later in the season, Nick Foles) played behind in 2022. Seeing Nick Foles convulsing on the ground while the Giants' defensive lineman celebrated the sack by bird-flapping right next to him encapsulated the 2022 Colts' offensive line's entire season.

In my opinion, the Colts problem is they paid a bunch of guys and consequently those guys lost their edge.

Guys like Zaire Franklin, Quenton Nelson, Johnathon Taylor and, to a lesser extent, Ryan Kelly and Braden Smith are not the same players they were before they got paid.

Omaha always said Shaq Leonard was no leader but I think he was more of a leader than ANYONE we have now outside of maybe Deforest Buckner.
