BTW Kubiak did not help when he said that it made our team better, when he meant that Sage wanted a chance to start and we where not going to give it to him.

They both said our OL sucks and we need a real RB to help carry the load with Slaton.

Dukes did say he liked the addition of Bill Kollar, he thought Kollar would help Okoye, which would mean help for Mario. They did mention the Smith signing but only in passing.

They said only a near perfect season got the Titans over the Colts and we are far from being a team that can be perfect. They did say 10-6 was possible, but that 11-5 missed the playoff last season. So.

IN conclusion it had more to do with the strength of the AFC in general and the AFC South and the Colts owning us and less to do with the growth of the team.

I didn't catch the whole segment,but when they said something about needing a real RB between the tackles and someone to help Slaton out because he isn't an every down back I figured I didn't miss much. I agree that we need someone to take the load off of Slaton, but I think he proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that he can be a feature back in this league . They still acted as if he was nothing more than a 3rd down type back.
