<p>In 2020, Frank Reich's Colts offense converted 60% of its fourth down attempts. &nbsp;He hasn't changed, so what has? &nbsp;Reggie Wayne was a #2 option for Peyton Manning for his first six seasons behind Hall of Fame Marvin Harrison, and still put up numbers and success worthy of a gold jacket! &nbsp;I'll tell you how he did it!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Carson Wentz is hoping to practice Friday and play Sunday. &nbsp;Neither Wentz nor Braden Smith practice today. &nbsp;Guess who the Colts best corner is - according to Pro Football Focus! &nbsp;Taking a left guard at #6 in 2018 was a huge risk, but it has absolutely paid off.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>If Carson Wentz can get those rickety ankles ready for Sunday, that's a reason to believe in the Colts. &nbsp;Myles Turner has cut weight - does that mean he will play better? &nbsp;Ben Simmons not being tradable is as easy to understand as this - he's paid a lot of cash to not shoot.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Cam Newton would fix one big problem for the Colts before the signature on his contract dries! &nbsp;Another imm edit fix is for Frank Reich to pinky sear never to forego three-points for the privilege of turning the football over on downs. &nbsp;Ben Simmons says he is done with the 76ers, but the 76ers might not be done with him.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>
