Isn't Christensen one of the two guys PM was whining publicly about last year thinking he was losing his binky Moore? LOL http://www.faniq.com/article/Peyton-Manning-upset-with-the-Indianapolis-Colts-coaching-changes-during-offseason-1617478

While in Tampa Bay, Christensen and Tony Dungy were the primary reasons that team did not make it to two or three Super Bowls. The Bucs team during those years had one of the greatest defenses in NFL history, but the offensive play calling was so timid and predictable they fell short of expectations year after year. It wasn’t until both were gone and the window of opportunity was almost closed that the team finally won a championship. Yes, Tampa Bay did not have Manning, but the Colts didn’t have that Bucs defense either.
Dungy learned from his mistake to stay out of the way and let Manning do his thing. Christensen would be wise to do the same thing.

Nice, now there can be another excuse when Manning blows it. Maybe the offensive line will get a break in in the finger pointing game

@Jshawaii
I was actually referring to Manning’s apparent speech impediment, NOT Evan Silva’s inability to correct a direct quote. Otherwise, I would have suggested that Silva include “(sic)” in the first line of the quote.
Apparently, Manning uttered the quote without using commas (lol).
BTW, I will (naturally) assume that you typed “grammer” on purpose, because I can’t fit Kelsey Grammer into your reference no matter how hard I try.

Stevie Wonder could be their offensive coordinator, they’ll still put up ridiculous points.
It’s not their OC’s, it’s Peyton Manning.
Being the OC in Indy is the equivalent of being the weatherman in San Diego. :laugh:

Clyde is irrelevant. Peyton, Tom Moore, and Howard Mudd have run this show since day one. Jim Caldwell’s position as QB’s coach was a joke. All he did was chart the results of plays. There was no track record to evaluate Caldwell. Tony Dungy groomed him to be head coach so that a black coach would succeed him.
I don’t want to hear about his record last year. This team lives and dies with Peyton. Why else was a “Defensive Genius”, (ie, Dungy) unable to build a quality defense, sans playoffs during the Super Bowl year, during his tenure?
Clyde will be toweling off Peyton’s balls during timeouts.

Abe,
It’s been a real slow day today, so I’ll give your statement a whack.
Remember the original comment is a quote, so it may use wrong structure, but it’s a quote, not a statement, so the writer can’t change it.
Now, the writer did miss two comma’s: “Clyde, for the past number of years, ….. ”
The comma’s would make the statement more fluid and acceptable.
Let’s talk about to, too, and two or their, there and they’re, as most commentor’s don’t have a clue about some of the basics older folks like me learned in grammer school.
Class is dismissed!

“Clyde for the past number of years has been an integral part of our offense,”
?
Shouldn’t it be “For the past number of years, Clyde has been an integral part of our offense,” ?
or
“Clyde has been an integral part of our offense for the past number of years” ?
or (even)
“Clyde, for the past number of years, has been an integral part of our offense” ?
Jus’ sayin’
