To shore up the middle of the defensive line for the remainder of the Playoffs, the Colts announced a stunning three player trade this week that sent two Indy second-round draft players to Buffalo in exchange for their goliath Defensive Tackle, Otto Blimponski who astoundingly had gone unnoticed by almost everyone on their practice squad. Coach Jim Caldwell said, “Otto should help us in a big way to stop the run, allowing us then to put even more pressure on the Jets passing game”. Another Colts insider speaking on a condition of anonymity said “the only drawback is Blimponski is such a competitor and uses so much energy in each series, that we are having a little trouble keeping him on his feet between plays. We’ve tried just about everything.” “Finding a uniform to fit him has been a problem too. We had to rush order one to be specially made by American Tent and Awning Company.”
Sunday at 3:00, the Colts play the Jets for the AFC Championship…the winner going to the Superbowl in Miami on Feb. 7th. My prediction for the game? No one really knows for sure what the score or final outcome will be. But it’s going to be very difficult to beat the Colts, especially at home. ‘D’ has been playing great…and Manning and company will figure a way to put some points up there like always. I’m going to have to go with the home team. That’s been a good bet all year.
