AUGUST ’17

The diary blog page of Blake (#73 Baylor, Indianapolis Colts #63) and Sean Muir (#74 retired), brothers, former Sutherland Seahawk players Baylor Football offensive linemen and Blake is now on the roster of the Indianapolis Colts. [page run by the Sutherland Seahawks Gridiron Club]

Unfortunately an injury at practice has meant that Blake will spend some time on injured reserve. Accordingly, to make space, the Colts waived and then the following day placed Blake on their IR. With a rehab time of a few weeks Blake will be ready again a few weeks into the regular season. This will allow a patient approach to being back at practice.

Indianapolis opened their preseason against Detroit and it was extremely fortunate to view in person. Blake came in on the 3rd drive and played the remainder of the game taking the most number of snaps of the offensive linemen.
 

2nd stringers usually sub the firsts pretty early in the preseason. It only took half way thru the 3rd possession for #63 Blake Muir to get in the game.

Fringe benefits of coaching people all the way to the NFL; hotel and free parking across the street from the stadium. And today Lucas Oil stadium has retracted the roof!!!

Caught up with Sean in Waco. He has now graduated and has been interning with a local business.

 

Australia doesn't have anything like the NCAA system that blends tertiary study with high caliber sport. @seanpmuir just graduated this week from Baylor university in Texas, and is leveraging his schooling, sporting development and personal connections into a burgeoning list of global career options.
