From 2002-2009, Pitts did a great deal for Houston by serving as their offensive guard. The 31-year-old is now receiving a lot of interest.
The 6'4", 310-pound guard had just finished workouts with the Indianapolis Colts and the Pittsburgh Steelers and he drew a lot of interest to both teams.
It just got me thinking: The Colts jerseys just need to sign Pitts.
Tony Ugoh is struggling as of late and just got moved to guard. In my books, I just don't feel confident in him starting at guard.
Indianapolis just might as well sign Pitts and take place of Ugoh. Ugoh can have some experience and it would beneficial for all sides of the deal.
First, Ugoh never had been mentored. The Colts football jerseys drafted Ugoh so he could take his first year off to learn from one of the best offensive tackles in the league at the time: Tarik Glenn. Sadly, Glenn retired and Ugoh had to do it with no experience whatsoever.
He did good in his first year, but struggled a bit. Now Ugoh has been moved to the guard position after Charlie Johnson recently just outperformed him.
It still wouldn't be right for Ugoh to start. This should be the year he should just have a year off from starting. This is where Chester Pitts comes in.
Let's have a guy who has a lot of experience at the position. Pitts will be entering his ninth season in the league and could really help this Indy team out.
As it stands on the team's depth chart, Mike Pollak and Kyle DeVan stand as the starting guards. Personally, Pollak should just be replaced. DeVan can stay, after a very successful year.
Pollak was originally drafted as a center and he should stay that way. Jeff Saturday wil leave in just a few seasons, so with Pollak backing him up and getting mentored, he can step up right away and make instant impact.
Last season, they were saying it will be tough for the Colts to Donald Brown make it to the playoffs with Marvin Harrison gone and with the other teams in the AFC South rising. Bull.
The Colts managed to go to 14 straight wins and make it to the big show. So what if some of those games they got lucky? When it all goes down, it's a win. A win is a win. Just simple as that.
Now here we go again.
Now many of the critics say that the Houston Texans will rise over Indy. Nope. Their time will come, but it's too early to say for this year. Although, in my opinion, I do see them making the playoffs finally.
And then there's another thing about them not making it back to the Super Bowl. I can see why.
Let's look back at the past ten Super Bowl teams that lost.
In 2000, the Tennessee Titans fell one yard short to the St. Louis Rams. They have never made it back to the Super Bowl and have struggled since then pretty much. Their best year came in the 2008-09 season, but failed against the Baltimore Ravens.
Then came the New York Giants, who got smothered by the Baltimore Ravens, 34-7. However, they managed to come back to the Super Bowl, beating the then-undefeated New England Patriots 17-14.
The St. Louis Rams got knocked off by the New England Patriots in the 2002 Super Bowl, 20-17. Since then, they have failed to make it to the Super Bowl and are now known as one of them bottom three teams in the National Football League right now.
Then came the Oakland Raiders getting destroyed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 48-21. Since that loss, they have not even managed to go towards a single playoff appearance. But now, after almost a decade, they finally have high hopes of a playoff berth for this season.
Then along came the Carolina Panthers, barely losing to the New England Patriots in a 32-29 loss. The Panthers have made it to the playoffs a couple times, but never managed to get to another Super Bowl appearance.
Then came the Philadelphia Eagles getting beaten by the Patriots in 2005, 24-21. They have made it to the playoffs many times after that, but they couldn't get a Super Bowl appearance.
