Apparently the explanation floating around in the Indianapolis media is b/c they want to go to more of a power blocking scheme. Need a bigger body.



Paint it however you want. Who cares what he gets paid, really. Does it matter? He grew up here, his family is here. Maybe he really did have a chip on his shoulder before he came to meet with Pioli, but apparently he didn't have that same chip when he left. Did you mention that his mother lives at Lake Quivira, and he is getting married this summer and is building a house, also at Lake Quivira?



Never said it was. Must not have been too bad last year though. My post you quoted should explain why.



So being on a poor running team makes you a poor run blocker? I mean, he was handily the best run blocker on that line, which is obvious if you look at where the RB's had the most production. Also, they didn't run the ball nearly as much as most teams do. They have Manning and a glut of receiving talent.

That doesn't excuse them from sucking as much as they did while running the ball, but then again most running games get stronger as the game goes on, and Addai only carried the ball 14 times a game.

You can't simply look at an o line that has a poor run game, and say that every player sucks at run blocking. That's just arrogant.

And you're just plain dense.

Lilja failed a physical.

Aturnis: I HOPE he's fine.

Lilja's been a left guard his entire career.

Aturnis: I HOPE he can play right guard.

The only team that wanted to sign Lilja was 4-12 last season.

Aturnis: THIS team believes in him.

Lilja was released AFTER given a $1.5 million dollar roster bonus.

Aturnis: They wanted to go bigger.

Your entire stance is based off of HOPE, not fact. You couldn't dispute even ONE point that laid out for you.

But please, continue to embarrass yourself.
