    Schlereth: Colts OL -- ESPN

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    I thought I was pretty calm, cool, & collected actually. Alright CS3, yes Mark did turn his comments toward the league as a whole toward the end of the 1 on 1 session, but the analyst asked Mark point blank to state what weaknesses he could see in INDY's line. 

     

    If I am slightly miffed, it's because INDY keeps masking the problem by concentrating on other areas like drafting Dorsett as our 1st pick & bringing in Andre Johnson at WR. How exactly Grigs do these 2 new additions result in less penetration on the line & a reduction in QB sacks? Hmmm...Look, I know why AJ was brought in to serve as a substitute veteran in the absence of Reggie Wayne's departure. I get that. 

     

    If you did highlight the vulnerability of our line, great. I agree with you 100% But, the crux of what Mr. Schlereth was addressing pertained directly to the blue horseshoe & we all know this. 

     

    It's like I told M-432 in other thread, I'd rather suffer in other areas like the secondary for awhile if I knew Irsay was spending more money on beef up front or bring in an o-line coordinator with a proven track record of building quality lines that actually keep Andrew's jersey free from grass stains etc. etc. 

    I meant FA...sorry

    Even in 2012 when we drafted Fleener and Allen back2back didʻnt make sense...2 TEʻs but no O-line men...you can possibly get a good to decent TE in draft but not O-line men

    I completely agree that the Grigson bashing is getting ridiculous. However, i think youre being pretty generous to say that Landry was his only bad move. The Fleener pick was horrible with so many good o lineman on the board. DHB pickup was a waste of targets, already saw his skills on display in Oakland. T-Rich trade had so many red flags. I was never excited about a no.3 draft pick that a team gives up on after one year. I could go on but the fact is that we're not where we should be in year 4. Luck has taken a beating the last few years and we missed out on some prime cap flexibility.

    I think a lot of our problems fall mostly on our coaching staff but Grigson does deserve a lil blame. Grigson overall has been successful in the draft, but his free agent pickups are meh. Big problem is that our HC & OC are not going to push Luck to greatness. It feels like Peyton all over again, where its the qbs team and all the pressure is on him. I wish we had a big personality/veteran mind as the coach to take that burden.

    Well said

    I think that the season being over has crossed everyone's mind in Baltimore. We have no

    Illusions. They have a heck of a hole to did out of, which they dug for themselves. The team isn't horrible, as they have been competitive every game, but the chemistry seems to be lacking in comparison to other Ravens teams in the past.

    Next week, Browns at home. One at a time.

     

    Most teams don't have a quality backup QB. Some don't even have a quality starter. 

     

    And wasn't Vick 19/26 with a TD and 33 rushing yards?

     

    They had a chance to win a game against a good divisional opponent, on a short week, and probably would have if not for a missed FG. That's what you want when you have to start a backup QB. 

    Yes...if Big Ben were playing totally different scenario...the Ravens have issues...too many young WRʻs and defensive cpt. Suggs out for season...they have a long season coming up...just like the Coltʻs

    So explain what Luck being injured has to do with Grigson? He has a veteran QB in place and is now covering any bases just is case.

    You think Hasselbeck could do better than Luck...think heʻll be kinda Romo-ish...not the talent but the injuries...wouldʻnt need Hasselbeck if he nailed it on the O-line...kinda scary thinking about him behind that ? O-line

    When people bring up Tony Romo's injury:

     

    I fully agree that in the NFL, injuries can and will happen, however, the Cowboys have done all that they could to protect their franchise QB by building a solid line, and they deserve credit for that. As you said, injuries can happen anytime.

     

    Can you say the same for the Colts? Have they made the best effort to protect their franchise QB?

    Agree... Luck can take a hit better than Romo ever could...if we had a O-line like that we be SB bound

    Akiem Hicks traded to Pats for Hoomanawanui

    True. He has his misses as do all GMs but not sure if you saw this last week from Mike DiRocco of ESPN, http://www.nepatriotslife.com/2015/09/the-jaguars-basically-gave-patriots.html

     

    In a nutshell, back in 2009 Jacksonville wanted to trade up and select cornerback Derek Cox and did so by giving New England their second-round pick in 2010 and seventh-round pick in 2009 for their third rounder. Cox never really lived up to the elite-corner hype for the Jags only playing 4 seasons.

    Who were the two players the Patriots selected with the Jaguars picks you ask?  In the seventh round of the 2009 draft, New England selected a quarterback out of Kent State by the name of Julien Edelman. The next year, New England traded the Jags second round pick and their sixth-rounder to Oakland for the Raiders second-round pick. They player they chose: Rob Gronkowski tight end out of Arizona. 

    This has to be one of the most lopsided trade in NFL history and underscores Bill's pedigree to get the right guys more often than not.

    Not to mention he has 2 jobs as HC and GM...and doing it a lot better than every other team with 2 heads

    and which of these 2 players were the missing piece that would have put the Colts over the top as obvious superbowl favorites?  :sip:

    I was not referring to these two...just saying their not doing anything while O-line is still lousy at protecting #12...meanwhile the Pats are good but they keep trying to improve that team...especially on defense where they need to improve...all Iʻm saying is they know #12 is slightly injured do something to make that O-line better...or their wonʻt be a #12 to finish the season

    Confirmed: Luck injured throwing shoulder

    in Colts Football

    When in the draft war-room this year, Pagano should have made a banner to hang on the wall right next to the draft board.

     

    2014-2015 SEASON: 

    71 QB Hits (14 more than any team in the league).

    150 quarterback hurries (fifth-most in the league).

    77.4 % of QB injuries happen on passing plays

    When sacked and landed on by a 300+ lb defensive lineman, eventually something is going to break

     

    Then the following hand-outs to all in attendance at the draft war-room.

    1. Bryan T. Kelly, MD*,
    1. Ronnie P. Barnes, MS, ATC†,
    1. John W. Powell, PhD, ATC‡, and
    1. Russell F. Warren*,§

    Abstract

    Background: Quarterbacks are at risk for shoulder injury secondary to both the throwing motion as well as from contact injury.

    Objective: To delineate the incidence and etiology of shoulder injuries to quarterbacks in the National Football League (NFL).

    Methods: Using the NFL Injury Surveillance System (NFLISS)

    Results: A total of 1534 quarterback injuries were identified with a mean of 18.8 and a median of 6.0 days of playing time lost. The majority of these injuries occurred during a game (83.8%). Passing plays were responsible for 77.4% of all quarterback-related injuries. Shoulder injuries were the second most common injury reported (233 or 15.2%), following closely behind head injuries (15.4%). Direct trauma was responsible for 82.3% of the injuries, with acromioclavicular joint sprains being the most common injury overall (40%). Overuse injuries were responsible for 14% of the injuries, the most common being rotator cuff tendinitis (6.1%) followed by biceps tendinitis (3.5%).

    Conclusion: In this review, the vast majority of shoulder injuries in quarterbacks occurred as a result of direct trauma (82.3%), and less than 15% were overuse injuries resulting from the actual throwing motion.
