All the Greats have a BD in September
Yes, yes they do.

Satele was on the Secret Superstars list too......hmmmm
Now we know why it was a secret.
-
it's unfortunate that injuries have hit the o-line early and often. it has certainly has compromised their ability to function as a unit. had the first five been intact all through camp and preseason i think they would have been significantly better on sunday.
Injuries and the fact that they suck have both contributed.

Addai hit a 1000 yards but that still doesn't mean your team has an effective running game. Our run game has not been feared since Edge left and the playaction threat left with him.
Does 4.8 YPC equal effective running?
-
We tried to establish the run game early in the Bears game. To avoid being laughed off the field we put the ball in the air. The only time we gained positive yards in the run game is when we ran draws and delayed handoffs. Peyton did not establish the run after Edge left. Our run game was so bad our playaction attack was no longer effective. Harrison will be a hall of famer because of EDGE and our ability to use play action. However this is not a threat any longer whatsoever!!
So cut it out with the run game in regards to Sunday. We haven't ran the ball well against poor defenses, so why would think we would go into Soldier field thinking we would be effective against the BEARS defense honestly. Until we have a draft in which we draft some stud lineman and make a trade or two for some depth at the position, this is Andrew's Lucks show totally.
I disagree with you. After Edge left we could still run the ball. It was the departure of our two Guards (that have been very missed) that destroyed it. Tarrik's departure didn't help either.
You are forgetting that Addai was the first ever 1000 yard rusher to never start a single game (in the regular season, 2006).
Harrison will be a hall of famer because he could get open, had good hands, stayed healthy (until 2007) and had a great QB getting him the ball.
When Peyton was Super Bowl MVP - I think he was honored as that based on his body of work. We closed out the deal with the run and look at the stat sheet:
Addai: 17 for 77 4.1
Rhodes: 21 for 113 5.4 TD
Uhhh, against the Bears.
We could run the ball. I think the formula is a balanced attack, not airing it out 40-50 times a game.
When you air it out you get let down in the post season too.

It's obviously the line.

You must be new to the forum.

All of the above.
I watched Jeff some, he did OK. As in so-so.
He didn't look particularly strong out there and they couldn't run the ball for anything.
But GB is a pass oriented (heavily) offense and Jeff brings smarts, leadership, experience and knows blocking assignments backwards and forwards.
-
After the draft I was disappointed the Colts didn't go o-line early, even though we did get very good TEs. But with the money coming off the books, they can get some stronger o-line free agents and go to the draft for some as well. The biggest weaknesses on this team are still o-line, DBs and d-line in that order.
Without any TE's on the roster...we did well in the draft.
-
I'd get my money back if I were you, Reitz didn't even play yesterday and somehow you were able to determine that he is "barely a practice squad player".
LOL

Donald had 2 18 yard runs in the 2nd quarter how is that for negative yards?
We ran LESS in the 2nd Q based on the RESULT of the 1st quarter. It got better.
-
The 1st QT seems like the only reasonable stat to me.
And that's when we were getting stuffed.
2nd Q was a reaction to that.
-
10 pass and 2 run isn't reasonable.
It is when you have negative yards so far running the ball.
-
Yep, blocking is what we need.
When you can't run the ball, you pass it.
-
Gosh, I think they are horrible. They looked a bit better as the game went on, but our guards...well, they suck. Satele is OK, AC hasn't hit his ceiling yet, Justice got hurt but wasn't much to write home about.
I can't wait for a boring off season of linemen.
-
If we had Brandon Marshall and Calvin Johnson and Andre Johnson our receiving core would be good.
-
-
I'm all in. If we improve this year and have a good off season - watch out!
-
I certainly like what I've seen from Freeman.
I bet they do a rotation. Pat and Freeman will start.
-
He was 2nd round pick in 2006 - Polian said if the Jags didn't grab him we would've taken MJD
Chew on that.
-
Brown is a good running back when he is able to do his job.. He can't open up holes and block for himself too!!
Barry sanders would struggle getting yards with our O-line doing the blocking.
-
Yes, he was very suspect as a Colt. He really has improved.
-
I agree we're going to be fine but I'm tired of that Manning Luck comparison. It's a good piece of trivia but really meaningless, right?
The implication is that we'll be contenders next season based on that. Or that he'll have a Manning career.
Again, nice trivia. But no bearing on Luck's future or the Colts success.
It's good trivia, but useful to show that even Peyton had a learning curve.
(Or that his team was bad in the beginning)
I keep seeing headlines about Luck's debut - they don't mention other Colts. If Luck has a pocket and run game - it is a different story. I think he could have kept up in a shootout under those conditions.

Ummm, maybe so.
