Another great example. Big Tarik was one of the top LTs in the league for 8 years but was only named to 3 Pro Bowls.

Nor, IMO, did Castonzo.

Both held down one of the hardest positions in football, did it very well and kept their mouths shut while doing it. Both were great for most of a decade each.

Hopefully, Rain Man can be a third in that list of superior Colts left tackles.

Costanzo took a few years to develop and unfortunately Tarik was in a conference with Ogden and Roaf.

Tarik also got a bad and undeserved rap for false starts, that actually weren't false starts most of the time.

Tarik Glenn played alongside several other great OT's that overshadowed him until the record-breaking '04 season shined some light.

As far as the AFC Pro Bowl... Jonathan Ogden was always there. Tony Boselli was their early in Glenn's career. Walter Jones when SEA was an AFC team. When Jones and SEA went to the NFC, here comes Willie Roaf joining the Chiefs from the the Saints.

Then you had guys like Orlando Pace and Lincoln Kennedy that were more recognized even though they weren't competing for the same spot as Glenn.

Might be something to go back and investigate, I know Campbell was consistently getting open and being missed by the QBs toward the end of the season.

How would you recommend Ballard hedge his bet on Campbell being the team's slot receiver next year?

A swing tackle is a great idea, and I'd love to see it, but a lot of times, guys who have success in those roles end up getting signed as starters to other teams because of the dearth of OL talent in the NFL generally.

He did have a heart condition, but 6'6" 260 DEs with some developed rush moves that run a 4.41 40 and a 7.00 3 cone just don't fall to 26. MPJ is a nice consolation prize, though.

There's some level of projection there, there has to be given they just completed their rookie season, but honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if any or all of Pierce, Woods, Raimann, and Cross made Pro Bowls or All-Pro teams. Not saying any of them are a lock by any means, just that they're talented enough to be there. I could also see Rodney Thomas II making a Pro Bowl at some point, though I'd put that one as even less likely. Of them, I'd put Raimann and Woods as the most likely to do it.

pierce will never make a pro bowl. ever.

Stranger things have happened. Mike Doss being a starter, for example.
