He may do OK building teams but he says some stupid things - and that was one of them.Say what you want about him, but Polian isn't stupid.

Oh, he said that? That is pretty stupid. I wonder what he thinks now after all the moves the Pats have made.He may do OK building teams but he says some stupid things - and that was one of them.
Maybe, but I wonder why he let Dominic Rhodes go. Rhodes was part of the reason the Colts won it all, and so many teams have shown the wisdom of a two-RB offense.Say what you want about him, but Polian isn't stupid.

I think it was a tactical mistake not to keep him. I also wonder about letting both starting CBs leave. Nick Harper was pretty good, wasn't he?
Cato June I always thought was more hype that substance. I doubt he'll be missed, and Mike Doss is no loss, but letting Harper and Rhodes go may be a mistake, and maybe David, too.
On the way off the field, up the tunnel, whatever, after the AFCC game he was quoted as saying "The Patriots are Finished".Guys, what did Polian say about the Pats being finished? Give me the lowdown.
Yeah, they won't pay those guys because they don't have the money to do soGuys, what did Polian say about the Pats being finished? Give me the lowdown.
As for Rhodes, the Colts aren't going to pay $3.5M a year to their second best RB. That would be ridiculous. Addai got just about every key carry during the season, and Rhodes was the change of pace runner in the playoffs. The Colts would be in big trouble without Addai, not Rhodes.
Agree with you on June. As for Harper, he's 33 and the Colts have spent high draft picks on corners the last few years. Time for them to play.
He has to be fit to be tied. Two of his main rivals for the AFCC, the Pats and the Broncos, are improving the areas of their teams that kept them from going further, and he can't do anything. They have very little cap room, and the lowest first round pick. He needs to decide if its better to move up and try to grab a true impact defender or try to plug all the holes.

He was right for the 2006 season - but I think he was thinking bigger than that.

I think it was something more to the effect of "The Patriots time is over". Same basic message and intent though.

I guarantee Addai will struggle without having the explosive Rhodes spelling him next year. Hell, taking out his huge game against Philly (171 yards) and he isn't even an 1000 yard guy.
