One Luck is not holding the ball for 5 seconds, two, and most importantly, I couldn't care less about nerdboy PFF stats.
Of course you couldn't. Could you clock Luck's throw next time OG get holding penalty?
-
You mean the OLine that is leading the league in holding calls?
Thornton is +6.4 in two game span even with holding penalties. He better not to hold defenders who are trying to kill his QB who is holding the football for 5 seconds.

the line is garbage open your eyes!
Luck and Pep can make any OL looks like garbage. Open your eyes.

Dude if you ain't mad then something's wrong. Its pretty obvious we need a offensive line. Every time the balls snapped Luck has guys all over him. Grigs should have fixed this by now. Its pretty simple. He'd rather sign bums like Lance Louis than to sign some all pro beast
vs. Jaguars.
– Did the offensive line really improve overnight (-16.9 pass block grade over the first three games compared to +5.7 on Sunday) or was it scheme and style that helped them look better? Probably the latter, starting with QB Matt Hasselbeck and his playing style compared to that of Andrew Luck. Hasselbeck is a steadfast decision-maker who gets rid of the ball much quicker than Luck (2.37 seconds in pocket was ninth-fastest in the NFL this week) as 72 percent of his passes were delivered in 2.5 seconds or less. Compare that to 2.6 seconds in the pocket for Luck and only 55 percent of his passes coming out in 2.5 seconds or less, and there’s a good indicator as to why Hasselbeck was pressured on only 10 of his 54 drop-backs.

vs. Texans.
– The Colts have learned some lessons from the Peyton Manning era; one of those is the value of a quality backup quarterback, as Matt Hasselbeck (+4.2) turned in his best game since the Seahawks’ wildcard victory over the Saints after the 2010 season. Pressured only four times (thanks in no small part to an average release time of 2.12 seconds), Hasselbeck was on the money all over the field, not least on the Colts’ aggressive 43-yard completion down the left sideline to see out the win with less than two minutes to go.
– With the Colts running left so much to stay away from J.J. Watt, they needed a strong game from their offensive linemen to the left—in Jack Mewhort (+5.5) and Khaled Holmes (+1.1) they got two such displays. Mewhort has settled back in at left guard after experimenting at right tackle to start the season, and has earned a positive grade as a run blocker in each start back on the inside.

vs. Patriots.
– After a solid rookie season, left guard Jack Mewhort (+3.3) has turned into the greatest success of this young season for the Colts after they called time on the experiment to play him at right tackle. Since Mewhort was moved back to guard in Week 3, only three guards (Marshal Yanda, Joel Bitonio, and Evan Mathis) have bettered Mewhort’s +9.8 overall grade, and none have bettered his +8.6 run block grade that he added to with his fourth straight grade of +1.0 or better last night.

Stop blame OL.

Luck has completed first pass after he has completed first interception. Surely, it's Grigson's fault.

No "Fire Grigson"!? No "This OL sucks"!? No "You have to protect the franchise!?" No "The worst OL in history"!? No "The same mantra for decades"!? No "Luck will be playing somewhere next season"!? What a wonderful, wonderful day!!

So many people want to blame everyone else for Luck's problems other than Luck.
I think Luck is has a lot of great tools as a QB but the fact is he is not playing a whole lot different now than he did his rookie season. He makes the same kind of mistakes in the same kind of situations over and over again. He came into the league as a great talent what I have not seen is him progressing to an elite QB.
Additionally, according to Football Outsiders (a site I trust a lot more than PFF) the Colts Oline is ranked 4th in run blocking and 15th in pass blocking. Now these numbers are not the end all be all but it matches what I've been seeing.
The Colts have a running game this year with Gore and he is under utilized. They Colts have three very good TEs that have been under utilized, the Colts have an elite WR, and aging elite WR and an young up and comer and Luck hesitates in throwing them the ball.
I'm going to make a prediction, if Luck does not play this weekend, I think the Colts will win and win big putting up 30+ points.
Well, PFF ranks them 18th pass blocking, 16th run blocking (after Jaguars game). Pretty close.
https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/10/07/ranking-all-32-nfl-offensive-lines-entering-week-5/
For example (pass blocking):
GB - 14th, SD - 23rd, DEN - 22nd, ARZ - 15th...

Like I said, let's criticize Grigson for real stuff, not made up stuff. Saying the line isn't good enough is real stuff. I don't know when Luck got hurt, but assuming it was on a play where he got hit in the pocket, I'll agree that the failures on the OL led to his injury. Again, that's an assumption, but a very reasonable one.
I disagree with the criticism of the Dorsett pick. I've spent way too many words on this topic already, so I'll just say that reaching for need is bad drafting, and I'm fine with the pick.
OG Jack Mewhort (+3.2)
OG Hugh Thornton (+3.2)
DE Kendall Langford (+3.0)
OT Anthony Castonzo (+2.9)
DE Henry Anderson (+3.3)
Top 5 performers are linemen. Looks like Grigson knows how to build trenches via draft and FA. It's up to coaches to use these players to their strength.
And I can't believe Grigson draft players not to play them. But I can believe that coach who's job is at the line is afraid to play rookies ahead of veterans. Cui prodest?

So the Colts can gameplan for Matt. Next time, Pep, please gameplan for Andrew and this OL.
-
*than
Thanks. Forgot a lot since HS.
-
Andrew Luck has 5 touchdowns and 3 tackles. He has to change something. And it is not blocked fieldgoals...
-
Nah other way around.
So #1 pressured QB is pressured less then #27 pressured QB? Got it.
-
Come on.
Fire Chuck, Fire Pep. Draft 2 olinemen with our first 2 picks. Hire Greg Roman and a competent OC.
Sorted.
Or promote Chudzinski, hire OC, draft 1 olinemen and sign 1 olinemen.
-
Yes. The problem lies somewhere above Luck's neck and before Chuck's feet. Clyde and Pep are totally immersed in the problem.
Unfortunately, the team needs a pass rusher worse than a first round Olineman. Scheme can protect Luck. It can't make Werner any more athletic, or Cole and Mathis any younger.
Or CB. In order to make life easier for an old guys.
-
They have them ranked now and Luck is the 27th pressured QB. FO O-line rankings are useless as they are based solely on sacks.
Soooooo... 26 of another 31 QBs are pressured MORE? Nice.

Bowles' Jets are #4 total defense (298 yards), LeBeau&Horton's Titans are #6 total defense (308 yards, allowing 31% on 3rd downs). Ryan's Bills are only #30, but they hold us under 304 yards and hold the Eagles under 231 yards.

Very well said. PFF ranks OLs every 4 games, it will be interesting to see their stats. A lot of forum members will explode.

You can't help slow WR to get open. You have to get better WR.
You can't help ILB to play the run with discipline. You have to get better ILB.
You can't show blind RB open holes. You have to get better RB.
But you can help QB to stay healthy: slide protection, chip block, TE&RB late release, 1-step throws from the gun, run game, no-huddle, packaged plays...
Is it so difficult for Pep to understand? These o-linemen are not world beaters, but Hamilton is not helping them.
-
lol any GM would have done that not just him
One GM took Malcom Brown instead of Anderson...
-
and Cherilus and Donald Thomas
What were the chances 2 rookies and 2 veterans would be injured?
-
lol that has nothing to do with them idk where you come up with your stuff
You have said "just fire him for everything else". He cut that trash: Bullitt, Brackett, Hagler, Johnson, Carter, Eldridge, Brayton, Anderson, Kevin Thomas, Seth Olsen, Wheeler... Look, THIS roster is so much better.
-
It's Grigson's fault! He has to teach OLmen since the HS.
Sarcasm.
-
nope just fire him for everything else
You miss Antonio Johnson, Gary Brackett, Melvin Bullitt and Joseph Addai that much?
