Enemy Lines

An opposing scout's view

"I'm not sure anyone ever completely comes back from an ACL injury, but can Edgerrin James get back to being a real good running back? Certainly....

Marvin Harrison will catch 10 balls in a game and be ticked off because he could've had 12. He'll play another 10 years because he doesn't get hit. When he catches the ball, he's either getting out of bounds, going down or running by you....

I like Jeff Saturday. He's quick and maintains solid blocking angles....

Their offensive personality is part of their problem. I'm not sure that throwing the ball all the time can win in the playoffs, and a lot of teams think they can bully the Colts. It's hard to preach toughness when your linemen are always backing up to pass-protect. It's also hard for your defense to play tough—your guys start to get passive because they're practicing against a pass-oriented system, and then they're on the field too long....

They've tried to add speed in the secondary, but I think they'll still have trouble....

Dwight Freeney will create a lot of mayhem coming off the edge, and they need Larry Tripplett to become a force in the middle. He's a big guy, but he plays too soft."
