Quenton Nelson is the most valuable guard in NFL history. How many guards go to their coach, tell them what kind of play to run and then have the head coach listen?
How many guards lead like this?
Pretty sure Q is the only one.

After sleeping on the

The number of people who think this means Chris Ballard expected that kind of return is WILD.
Ballard knew he wouldn't get it. He did not want to trade him.
The Colts hold all the cards and they want JT on the team. This isn't complicated.
As
@HolderStephen
reported, Packers were mystery bidder for Jonathan Taylor, besides the Dolphins. And can confirm through Dolphins person, as reported by Indy media, that Colts made wild requests from Miami, including Waddle & more.

The Colts fired his old boss. The owner refused to give him a shot at the interim gig, a shot he earned. Instead he gave the job to a failed high school coach.
Bubba wants to leave and it shouldn't be surprising.
Multiple people have already told me this morning that Bubba Ventrone is gone and will take the job in Cleveland. That’s not a confirmation but sounding more like this will happen.

I think the Titans are trying to kill Derrick Henry.
He's on pace for 540 touches this season. That is not a typo. I did not transpose the five and the four.
When Henry goes down, so does the rest of that offense. It's built around him and it will not function without him.

Plays like this have me believing Matt Ryan would slide into the
