I had the privilege to meet Jeff Saturday this past weekend. I met him in the Las Vegas airport while we both waited to catch a flight to Indy. All-in-all, he seems to be a genuinely great guy and was a pleasure to talk with.
He took the time to greet, shake the hand, and look into the eyes of every fan who wanted to say hi. He also freely gave his opinions on the Colts' coaching situation, the young players on the line, defensive tackles around the league, and his confidence in next season.
As for Mudd and Moore, he didn't tell me anything different than he told Chappell. When I asked him about Metzelaars, he expressed the highest confidence and noted that Pete is a very capable coach who is a "real Xs & Os type of coach."
And as for the younger players, he thinks that their starting experience last year and the fact that the line still has long-time veterans in himself and Diem bodes very well for their development and the play of this year's line.
When another fan asked him about his opinion of the best defensive linemen in the league (or the ones he most enjoys going up against), Saturday noted several names, including Vince Wilfork and Jamal Williams, and he specifically mentioned that he thinks Haloti Ngata is a player everyone should watch. So there you go, my brief, starry-eyed conversation with one of the Colts' all-time-greats. Bob Kravitz, eat your heart out!
Thanks man. Tremendous. It reminds me of my brief run in with 63, only yours had actual interaction. By the way, my wife goes in for a C-Section a 6:30 AM. Forgive me if I'm hard to reach. Know that the loss of anonymity didn't suddenly sap my accountability!
