Wes seems pretty even-keeled and objective in his analysis of other things. I don't care either way, as it is a win-win for us. From Wes:

"Ben Ijalana, OT, Villanova

6-4, 320 pounds

The Colts add another talented offensive lineman to the roster with Ijalana. I honestly think he's a better prospect than Castonzo, who they took in round one. However, Ijalana will likely kick inside to guard and has the power to win up front in the run game. One of my favorite prospects in the draft."

Linebackers in Pass Coverage

I am concerned. How will Wheeler and especially Session, do in pass coverage this year? We know Brackett will be solid.

As much as everyone makes a big deal about the run defense the year we won the Superbowl, and it was very important, you have to remember that Brackett and June were stellar in pass coverage that year. Even in the '05 season, when we started 13-0, those guys were lock down type defenders in pass coverage.We know that the in the tampa 2, the strong side backer covers some, but is primarily a run defender. But for the weak side backer, this is very important, go back to the Chargers playoff game last season and watch Rivers throw to Gates about 6 times for first downs during the 4th quarter of that awful game.

So will Session and Wheeler hold up this season?
