Sad news about June Jones. Legend is an understatement. The run and shoot was obviously ahead of its time in terms of spread formations and adjustable/read routes by the receivers, but also motions to dictate coverage, tying drops to reads, etc. He'll be missed.
And then I've got a second column on the Jeffery Simmons trade. Teams trading two first-round picks for established veterans in the modern era are batting about 25%. Why haven't those trades lived up to expectations? And can Simmons be the exception?

Got two new columns for you today!
First is a long look on the running back class of 2025. Who hasn't lived up to expectations? Which mid-round picks are in the middle of a breakout? Where does it stand historically?

New podcast: @DanPizzuta and I :
- break down the Colts trades
- who looks back in triumph on the deals in five years
- which players could use a fresh start elsewhere ala JJ McCarthy and Marvin Harrison
- which team is furthest from a Super Bowl!

Given the combo of $$, age, and need to sit out of free agency, I agree. Plus you're getting a pick at the bottom of the third round instead of something closer to the middle and it's a year later. Not saying Nelson won't land a third-round pick, but hardly a lock.
Whoa! Didn't have the Seahawks on my radar here given John Schneider's history of scrimping on OL and the presence of Gray Zabel at left guard, but love the Seahawks trying to improve their line.
Trade: Colts have agreed to send eight-time Pro-Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks, per me and @rapsheet. Nelson is on an expiring contract and the Colts are opting to get back draft capital now before they could lose him in free agency.
But an all-time Colt now moves on to the Seahawks.
49 yards from Saquon Barkley on that drive
Dameon Pierce had 50 yards from scrimmage over the entirety of last week's game against the Panthers while playing virtually every snap
New column: Asking "Is it time to..."
- Worry about Derrick Henry?
- Give up on the Texans defense?
- Start talking about the Vikings as a historically great defense?
- Move on from Aaron Glenn?
And a bunch more from Week 7!

Feels like he gets the ball 100% of the time he lines up in the backfield, which means the Seahawks are going to score a TD this year on a play where JSN starts in the backfield, all eyes are on him, and the ball goes somewhere else
