omg It's the Preseason! We played one game. The line is still a work in progress but already looks to be better than last year.

Did you see the Steelers last week? Their line looked horrible. Leftwich got sacked as I wrote this.

Seriously...

do u thiink anyone cares about the second string o line. im talking about how the number 1's go against the other teams number 1s. is it preseason? i thought the regular season already started??? manning gets the same amount of time that painter got...its just manning is a G and gets rid of it so fast, masking how horrible this his line is. anyone who refutes that point just doesnt watch the games.

Before I waste any more time, tell me who are the #1's? How did they look against the Rams #1's? How many series did they play?

I'm trying not to be a smart A, but you're not making it easy.

1. It is preseason, don't look into it too much. The Colts have publicly said that they use the preseason for evaluating their roster, teaching the playbook, getting guys some NFL experience and seeing what kinds of players they have rather than winning them

2. The Colts picked 2 guys that could potentially start from day one, Ijalana and Castonzo who haven't had as much practice time, give them time to get the playbook down and get up to NFL speed.

Watching the game, I must say that I still love the 2 NTs with 2 undersized ends the Pats use. I was a big fan of it with the Ravens, and it appears to potentially be great.

Obviously the talent of the two on the inside of the Pats is insane in and of itself, though.

I agree with both points, but...

"The Colts picked 2 guys that could potentially start from day one"

I think Costonzo, Ijalana and Nevis could start. Nevis looked like the best DT we have and it was his first NFL game.

Polian has made an impressive effort to shore up both lines. Time will tell.

In the first game against the Rams the Colts pass protected really well. They gave up no sacks, very few pressurs and on most plays both Painter and Orlovsky had a lot of time in the pocket. On Orvlosky's TD pass he held the ball for about 5 seconds (an eternity for an NFL QB).

And the Colts averaged 4.8 ypc for the game with the top 3 (Addai, Brown and Carter) having 52 yards on 11 carries (4.82 ypc) and that was all against the Rams starting D.

They are a work in progress and the starters are still yet to be determined but it was a pretty good outing overall. I'm not sure what people expect.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By ColtStrong2013 · Posted

      I can too. And that will tell us everything we need to know about how the view him. It will tell us their feelings on the tight end room, and what direction they pick from there will tell us even more.    but if they take him at 15, we won’t know much about what might have happened, as they will be landing someone they had rated highly and fell to them.

      Glad that’s over…    if I wanted to argue about it, I would have responded far more in depth than pointing out how you were attempting to gaslight me. I did not. Meaning I was ending my part of whatever the argument was. You “putting a finality to it” and then listing bullet points tells me it was the argument you wanted all along, which makes sense why you brought Grigson up in the first place. Bait, hook, gaslight. Almost got me buddy. You are a funny guy, Doug

      Putting a finality on an argument you want to have.   There is a theory that Ballard won't draft a OL high because ARs injuries were not caused by a poor oline.  I felt it important to note that since Luck's major injuries were also not caused by his oline, Ballard could still want to improve it like he did in 2018 simply because AR is The Franchise. And its important to point that out because there has been a running (false) narrative for about 9 years that Luck's oline was the (main) reason for his injuries that kept him out of games.  The (false) narrative is based upon, IMO, a detest of Grigson, and not reality about the facts (or strong rumors) behind the kidney laceration and snowboarding shoulder. Therefore, mentioning Grigson and the (false) narrative was germain to the point about Ballard possibly drafting Oline high this draft to protect AR. Mentioning Grigson shouldn't trigger a CB vs RG discussion, unless people reading it are gaslighted by their own reading lens.

      Colts offseason discussion / Ballard Grievances (merge)

      That is a very inaccurate description of what happened.  At this point it’s history and doesn’t need to be revisited but I will say Chloe adds value to this board and should be and is by most encouraged to post, even if people don’t always agree with her.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      My response was in regards to another posted suggesting that the Colts need to get the pick right when it comes to picking a WR. I agree with you .
