Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano likes his roster. Actually, he loves his roster.
And he's now comfortable saying it, in no uncertain terms.
"Our roster is probably better right now than it's been at any point," said Pagano, entering his fourth season as coach with a 33-15 regular-season record.
It's the second time in recent days Pagano has hit this note, and it's an indication that he has taken his assessment and determined that this team is more loaded than any he's coached.
But it's not an assessment he's arrived at with no basis.
