I have very low expectations today, so I'm sure neither will be on display today.
Very informative opinion.
-
Even with their tackles, I don't think the Raiders would have a chance. Here's hoping for a big game from our OLBs, this is their opportunity. Anyone take the Colts defense in fantasy football?
Both starting tackles out already makes a weak line pro ably one of the weakest.

I think we will find out quickly. If he still holds the ball to long or can't find secondary receivers then I think that might be a problem of being coachable. I have the same concern about RGIII and whether he will really learn how to slide and give up on running the ball as much. Both are young so it is yet to be seen in my opinion.
Welcome dear soccer fan to NFL fandom:
Just a few things: I know an opinion is just that...an opinion but it's obvious you know nothing about scheme, including vertical offenses. Luck "held onto the ball" due to receivers needing to complete their routes. A 20 yd route compared to a 2 yard screen usually takes more time to develop I would think. So get this, of you have 3 receivers running 20 yard routes what happens? Oh idk, this thing called time. Nothing to do with coachability, all scheme.
Most analysts agree that Lucks play progression and awareness is one of the best in the league, so I have no idea what you mean about secondary receivers.
-
I have seen analyst like John Clayton have him 13th or so. I have seen others who have at 15 or below. It doesn't really matter. He is young and developing and he will have great days and horrible ones for a while longer. He needs to make reads much more quickly and get the ball out of his hands and paying attention to secondary receivers. I see him as weak in the area and I blame this for many of his sacks as much as I do the offensive line. He also have a problem throwing a floating ball when he uncorks a long one. It hangs up at the end and lets the defensive player get back into the play. I'm not sure anything can be done about that. I enjoy watching him play and I do not blame many of his problems on the coaching or the scheme. If you are right about that, we should see a big change immediately. I hope we do.
Clayton? The "insider"? the guys a glorified reporter not an analyst. NBC's Brian Williams says Luck is a top 5 quarterback...game over. No other opinions needed. Ron Jaworski has Luck at 10 and Jaws uses...idk game tape to make his rankings. I'll listen to an analyst who breaks down film compared to a guy who consults his barber, or lack thereof on qb rankings.
Oh and btw, a knock on manning coming out of college was that his arm strength on deep balls was lacking...sound familiar?

I believe Luck's mechanics will hold him back. Just look how he grips the ball. Now look how a man's man grips the rockrock
Go in the backyard and practice throwing with those grips. Manning has phenomenal mechanics. Minus the jitterbug feet
What's a rockrock?

Yes, he did and people forget about those Hall of Famers. I think Luck will be a great QB but I think it is overhype when some here already claim him to be the best QB in the NFL or even a top five QB. He isn't but he has all of the tools to become that if stays healthy and proves to be coachable. I see no reason why he will not be both of these things. So lets all move on from this and actually watch the Colts play and see where they stand.
Hasn't Andrew luck proven that he is coachable? That's an absurd statement.

He is considered by most analysts to be top 10. That's pretty impressive being in the league one year. What parts about his game need to be coached? Just curious...that's an odd statement. Usually statements like that are reserved for 3rd tier quarterbacks. If you say interceptions and completion percentage, those are aspects that are based on scheme.

I have only read 2 of Kyles articles and or evaluations but what he puts out there that I have seen out of those 2 articles or evaluations makes plenty of sense and right on target, Well done.
I have said this before, Kyle j. Rodriguez writes very good articles.

Marvin played at another level that most receivers under 6'0 don't play.

So I know it's early but there are some interesting stats regarding the left side of our line in rushing situations this preseason.
When it comes to running the ball behind this poor offensive line, it's all about knowing your strengths.
Overall, the Colts struggled to run the ball last season, but there was one bright spot on the OL: Anthony Castonzo.
When running behind Castonzo or around the left end, the Colts averaged nearly 4.3 yards per carry last season. When handing the ball off in any other direction, the team averaged less than 3.5 yards per carry, according to Pro Football Focus.
It made sense: Castonzo was clearly the team's strongest run-blocker, and it showed in the results.
In the preseason this year, things haven't changed much.
According to Pro Football Focus, when the Colts tried to run behind the left guard, left tackle or around the left end, they ran for over 5.3 yards per carry. When they ran anywhere else (the middle or right), they averaged just 2.8 yards per carry.
It seems Castonzo and Thomas are gelling well.

i wish i could like this more than once
Did we just have a "moment"?

Once he running lanes are shut down and Kaep has to throw all the time, you will see the same guy he was in college. Very erratic.
The new role for read option hits on QB will render the read option useless.
-
Manning would not have taken those hits. Most of those hits were because Luck is slow getting rid of the ball and in making his reads on who is going to be open. Peyton played with lines that were little better and had view sacks because the ball was gone before they could get to him. Yes, so now you have a young QB who may or may not be a star some years down the road and Peyton is competing for the Super Bowl yet again. Enjoy what is coming. It will be a long time before you see teams and results like 18 had when he was here. That is just my take. Getting Luck and going into complete rebuilding mode is fine and it may be a great business decision. We won't know for quite a long time. About the time, Peyton is going into the Hall of Fame holding just about every QB record. Luck will be looking up at that for a long while. What if he decides to bolt to a better them when he becomes a free agent?? Oh, my.
And what would it take for you to consider Luck living up to draft status? Most wins by a #1 pick QB in 1st year? Playoffs? Rookie passing record? Led league in come from behind wins? None of that matters...
You're a Luck hater, own it. Stop hiding behind your Zach Galifiankis picture and own it. It's ok you're a fan of another team but stop hiding behind the claim you are a colts fan. It's not about an individual player (manning). True fans root on their team.
-
I don't know about that but I think he is not living up to his draft status.
-
Don't be too upset if you don't see that 'balance' until later in the game.
And please don't be one of those people who start threads complaining about the O line or the D run defense after two series. It's going to take some time for both to gel. I don't know why people are so eager to flaunt their ignorance.
I wonder how many Denver fans were starting threads complaining about them at halftime?
Patience...
I died laughing at Packer game last year, by halftime, there were 8 threads up about how colts would be picking #1.
-
Seriously? people are mad at a player for being injured?
Stupid human body.
-
Great article.
-
Good point. See Aaron Rodgers last year.I had no intention to make this a Luck vs Manning or Rg3 thread god knows how those go. But what i was tryin to say was i think all the afore mentioned qbs will be great other then
Manning he is already great lol... But that if you put them in Lucks shoes with all the Manning pressure and the horrid oline they wouldnt have done near as good as Luck.

3rd grade teacher told me "The alligators mouth opens towards the larger prey". Aka the larger number
. Always helped me.Thats why when Florida gator fans and players do the chomp sign, they are indicating that they are inferior.
