His receptions and yards would've been very good. But his TD's could've been untouchable. Over 1/3 of his receptions were TD's which is fucking bananas.
You Sir, are correct. I had forgotten what a screwed up season '87 was and that the first two games were not played by the Scabs.

However, I stand by my premise that the Dickerson trade did not make the Colts appreciably better. Ron Meyer had as much to do with the Colts success as anyone.

If Bennett wasn't going to play for the Colts, then I would have traded with the Steelers for Rod Woodson and picks.

Late to the discussion, but here are what should be IMO the priorities in the offseason:

1. New DC
2a. CB
2b. TE
2c. S
5. OL depth. In particular OG as Fries will be a UFA coming off a major injury and while Tucker showed some promise early he was very much exploited his last couple of starts.

dt- I want a vet. a leader type. someone like Corey Redding was. we need leadership from outside the locker room. this locker room has no leaders. Kenny Moore is about it

lbers- all new ones. the rookie can stay. fuck Franklin and speed. those guys are garbage

cb- always need corners

guard- not sure what happens here with fries but we need help here

Did Zaire always suck, and was just hyped, or has he regressed....because at one time I thought he was our top defensice player?

A lot of tackles, but very few are stuffs or behind the LOS. He sucks in coverage too.

Neither one of them can effectively take on a block. Their ability to hold a gap is garbage. Maybe I don't understand football anymore but if either of those two have to deal with a guard, more often than not they get swallowed up.

I think Speed's athleticism makes him more valuable than Franklin and I also think Speed is better about keeping his mouth shut and getting to work vs. Franklin's attitude which I personally perceive to be a bit arrogant.

They both can go but if only one can go, draft a guy that can beat out Zaire - please.

I think he has regressed some. or simply got paid and doesn't care as much. I don't think his effort is great down to down

I see really poor gap integrity as well. They both seem to run to open space rather than honor their gap. While at it, let the LB coach go too, for allowing that type of crap play.

I agree Speed over Zaire...but it'll never happen.
