Chris Ballard didn't panic ...... like myself, he felt that the talent on the 2022 Colts was much higher than their 4-12-1 record might indicate ...... subsequently, he gave a free hand to his offensive line coach, and the results have been magnificent.

Back in May, the article that JAFF posted cited Tony Sparano's proposal to fix the Colts' offensive line, which had a disastrous season in 2022.

He must have done something right, because the Colts' offensive line in 2023 was much more reminiscent of the excellent one that was was protecting Philip Rivers in 2020 than the horrible one that was "protecting" Matt Ryan in 2022.

The stank of that oline play followed Reich and his scheme to Carolina.

When healthy and all are starting, the line is pretty good. However, you should expect that none of them will be playing all 17 regular season and (presuming we make the playoffs) all playoff games. For that reason, depth, and I mean quality depth is very important.

To be fair, Jones problems started when Marchibroda had him a play in the final meaningless pre-season game of the '78 on the rock hard surface of the Pontiac Silverdome.

Yes, that fateful sack by Bubba Bean of the Detroit Lions in that 1978 exhibition game was a major turning point in Colts history ...... when I made that post, I was thinking more in terms of the 1981 team, when the Colts went 2-14 and Bert had a public falling out with Curtis Dickey on the field.

Bert was healthy and had solid statistical seasons in 1980 and 1981, but the offensive line by that time was not on par with the 1975, 1976, and 1977 teams.
