Colts Will Regret Letting Saturday Walk
The Indianapolis Colts have a huge problem on their hands. That problem is replacing the void left by the departure that center Jeff Saturday has created.
Saturday is a free agent come the open of the Free Agency period. Even at age 33 Saturday will get some offers as he is one of the best centers in the National Football League.
It is mind blowing that Colts President and general manager Bill Polian has let Saturday walk, considering how important a center is to the team.
A center has to be on the same page as the quarterback as he makes all the offensive line blocking calls and has to adjust the blocking scheme accordingly with the play that is audibled to as well as what the defense is running.
Replacing centers can be a very hard thing to do. Just ask the Buffalo Bills as they have not even found a player close to the caliber of former center Kent Hull who retired in the late 1990’s.
