Having no o- line is frustrating

[Dark Superman]

It's just so frustrating watching defenses blast through our offensive line to reek havoc on our rookie quarterback. Can't wait for the day Luck has a few seconds to throw the ball..

[Moncrief]

We were doing pretty good up until the fumble

[Dark Superman]

Luck already sacked twice.

[Mr.Debonair]

I really don't like the gameplan. NE had so much success spreading Houston out and throwing against the LBs or DBs on option or quick routes. We have the weapons to do the same. The also doubled and chipped Watt every chance they got. We need to try the same

[John Waylon]

We have an o-line?

I think your lying.

[John Waylon]

Yeah, you're lying.

So is never throwing a pass less then 20 yards unless it is a WR screen.  Stupid offense.  I don't care if we are 9-4.

[Drew1023]

How many seasons do you think it will take to fix the O-line or is it possible to fix?

Well, you have to remember that Belichick actually switches his gameplan around per game and sometimes per half.  Arians is going to do the same thing every game regardless of who we are playing.

I think even with good offensive lineman, as long as every pass is 15+ yards down the field, Luck is going to get sacked a lot.  Just ask Kurt Warner.

[needanoline63]

our guards are horrible, shipley is having a decent game. linkenbach cant pass block for nothing. JJ Watt is dismantling our offensive line, especially mcglynn(god that guy stinks). I want to believe we will comeback and win somehow, but the way andrew luck is throwing and the way our line is getting lit up by 1 player, i dont see it happening, maybe if watt gets injured then we will have a chance. Castonzo cant block JJ watt, no one can, if he keeps it up he could have 4 or 5 sacks by games end. What really blows my mind is the colts giving the ball to mwelde moore on the goal line, one of the dumbest decisions ive ever seen.

[coltsfanmilyman]

Despite this offensive line we are still in this game, but during this offseason it has to be a priority.

Unfortunately for us Watt is in beast mode

[BProland85]

WIth the amount of money we have to spend, we better fix this OL for next season. Luck cant be pressure this quick....his accuracy takes a huge step back when he's hurried like this.

[smittywerb]

We are better off using the foam dummies as an offensive line, at least we don't have to pay them.

 

I will be disappointed if our first pick isn't an OL and our biggest signing isn't an OL.

Coming back again, just think with all the cap space next year and a few nmore pieces what a team

[austriancolt]

I hate the Offensive Line! 

[Mameluc]

why are we not doubling watt

[Moose Of Woe]

It's already been six seasons and counting.

[House]

Luck has been sacked 3rd most in the NFL I'm reading.

Imagine if he wasn't mobile.......

[MrSolo]

A 20 yard route takes time to develop. With our O-line playing like they never played their position before it was our only way. We had the game won if our line didn't hold on the TD pass to reggie and that fumble.

i can't wait for arians to adust his play calling for a poor offensive line.......

[dw49]

Pretty bad when a DT totally dominates an NFL game.

[bavanlan]

I'm not sure how those were called sacks on Luck.  

 

On a lot, if not all of those sacks, Luck pumped faked at least once, which (as I read on here) makes it a forward pass (as the ball was moving forward), and you can't get sacked after a pass.

Lol well played

[Balzer40]

Im getting to the point to where I really hope Arians gets a HC job next yr.. It will probably stunt Lucks growth a little, but he maybe better off in the long run.

Or pretty good, for that guy's team. JJ Watt is one of the best defenders in the league. He dominates practically every week.

You sir have earned a like. Don't spend it all in one place lol.

Thatss what Pats did and stopped him cold

i don't think it would stunt his growth at all

never knew that, always good to learn something new, u get a like from me too

[Andy]

The O-line is the main reason we lost today.

 

They didn't double team Watt, and he just had a field day against us. He was in the backfield at least 65% of the time. Barwin had a good game too. 

 

It's costed us a good game, and nearly costed one last week. 

[bayone]

agreed

 

this team just needs a few pieces, great cap room, just get some proper Free agents and will make a dramatic improvement

 

wont need combacks

The only way I would see it stunting his growth is if they simply promoted Christensen.

Now if they went outside and brought in someone who was competent, creative and flexible and smart enough to look at Luck's strengths and attempt to capitalize on them then he would be better off moving forward.

[#12]

It's not just the sacks, he's hit on practically every pass.  Also, seemingly a majortity of his big throws this season were made on the run.  Even on the TD to Hilton, his arm was hit and he had to readjust and throw on the run.   Luck wouldn't know what to do if he could stand in the pocket and survey the defense. 

[Coltsman1788]

Our Oline often appears overmatched at the line of scrimmage.  This has to be the focus of their offseason.  We are in a division with the Texans whose defensive line is one of the best units in the league and they have sights full set on Andrew Luck.   It is imperative that the Colts get better upfront.  Oline is the only thing keeping this offense from taking off. 

[Coltsman1788]

Wow you said it but I've been thinking the same thing for awhile.  Just hadn't posted it.  Actually think it would be good for Luck and for the offense in general in terms of more balanced play calling.  Get Luck a short passing game to go with his intermediate to long route options.  Utilize more screen passes to running backs and establish more of a run, pass balance.  

 

Arians has filled in admirably for Pagano given the circumstances but I can understand how he wore out his welcome in Pittsburgh over time.  Arians potentially getting a crack at a head coaching gig may be a blessing in disguise and actually free up Andrew and the offense as a whole to take the next evolutionary step.
