Braden was making a huge difference in the run game there at the end of the year, even playing obviously hurt.

[@justingudgel4872]

Really, the only problems I've had with Braden are knee injuries, which should be fixed now, hopefully, and staring the season slow. Outside of those 2 things, he's been an all pro caliber player.

Im so glad you bring up Bradon Smith. I have said he has NOT helped the Colts because of his constant injury issues. Yes he may start but he gets hurt . You saying one of the best tackles - Nope, Nadda. PFF needs to look at the tape really close. Yes he is ok in the run game but passing game he is mediocre. There was a lot more pressures that show up in the passing game. Especially from someone getting paid so much. I think his body is winding down and this will be the last season he is a Colt. I may be wrong but Im watching Smith closely every snap this coming year.

Another Ballard Blunder flop pick, this dude never plays
