Colts giving gritty OG DeVan starting shot

11/20/09, Pro Football Weekly

It appears the Colts' starting ORG job is Kyle DeVan's to lose. DeVan, signed as a free agent in April while playing in arenafootball2, took over the starting job in Week Nine from Mike Pollak, a second-round pick in the 2008 draft who has had his share of ups and downs. "They had been rotating, but Pollak really struggled against the Niners (in Week Eight)," said a daily team observer. "They still like Pollak, but he just hasn't been consistent enough." Pollak has followed in the shaky footsteps of '07 second-round pick Tony Ugoh, who was beaten out for the OLT job this summer by Charlie Johnson, who has been a very pleasant surprise after shifting between left guard and left tackle in '08. DeVan, meanwhile, is in the same mold as C Jeff Saturday and OLG Ryan Lilja. "He's undersized but gritty," the observer said. "It looks like he will have to play himself out of the job."

Now that New England Week has passed and the Indianapolis Colts remain one of the NFL's two undefeated teams, it's time to move on and concentrate on Sunday's road game with the Baltimore Ravens.

Indianapolis takes a 9-0 record into this week's meeting with the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. Colts coach Jim Caldwell doesn't think he'll have a problem getting his team, especially the younger players, focused directly on facing a pretty good Baltimore squad.

Never mind that Indianapolis is coming off a big home win over the Patriots. And never mind the fact the Colts boast an unbeaten record.

"You hit it right on the head when you said younger guys, because (for) the older guys, (it's) maybe the third time they've been 9-0.
