Colts "chasing" OG's Vasquez and Levitre

[MTC]

Jason Cole ‏@JasonColeYahoo

Great game of musical chairs going on as Tenn, Indy & Bills chase top Gs Andy Levitre, Louis Vasquez. SD chance of keeping Vasquez is slim

 

I really hope we can sign both! We would be set at the offensive guard spot for many years.

[John Dee]

If they got both that would be lovely...    

 

And Indy would still have some cheez to play with....         CB maybe?

 

Then hit the DL in the draft.

Biased as I may be, where would a great OG rather go, Buffalo or Tennessee, who don't even have starting QBs and have been mediocre for years, or a team who just reloaded and went 11-5 to protect one of the great up-and-coming QBs in the league?

Oh, yeah, and the latter has the most $, too!

[TKnight24]

The word "chasing" is so exciting when it involves us protecting Andrew Luck

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

I would love to get both. Levitre, Vazquez, Constanzo, Ijlana if he comes back healthy and Shipley who's not that bad.

Vasquez wouldn't be tough to catch lol

Lol you get my point

[theanarchist]

On a serious note. Both of these guys would be great to get. i doubt it's realistic to hope for both that would be a lot of $. Either would be fantastic too.

Lol you get my point

[Mameluc]

no rumors on tackles?

[MTC]

Both are great players, I'd prefer Levitre over Vasquez based on the fact that he is a better run blocker. Both are elite pass blockers and that's exactly what we need for Luck.

[MTC]

no rumors on tackles?

 

As of right now, no rumors so far.

 

Although there are some rumors that Colts could be looking at Texans CB Brice McCain. Jason Cole said a lot of 3-4 teams are looking at him and it would be hard to imagine the Colts to not be one of those teams.

[dgambill]

I like these moves. As a qb you have a better chance if you have a clean pocket to throw out of. If you have pressure its better coming off the edge where you can step up and throw. How many times do we see a speed rush off the edge and the guy just go flying by the qb as he steps up and delivers. Its very hard to deliver the ball on time and accurate with a guy in your face and no room to step into your throw.

 

Don't get me wrong...I want a tackle too...but these guards would make me giddy.

[Dan]

If we got both, I'd have to spend a while scrubbing my pants clean. Don't think it'll happen, of course, but it's such an exciting prospect.

[coltsfanatic24]

That would be great if we got both but if we had to choose one, i would want Vasquez. It's also been rumors that we've contacted the agents of Laron Landry and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

Source?

Another source reporting we are targeting Andy Levitre:

 

Chris Wesseling ‏@ChrisWesseling

Bears reportedly interested in OGs Brandon Moore, Foster, Boothe. Nothing concrete on Levtire, who is being pursued by Titans, Bills, Colts

[throwing BBZ]

If Levitre is a much better run blocker than Vasquez, we don`t want Vasquez.
Levitre does pull well I understand. Not good mano e mano.


Who is behind the curtain...

Just because Levitre is better it doesn't mean we don't want Vasquez.

[Coltswarriors]

Exactly.

 

Vasquez would still be our best lineman.

Both are very good run blockers but I believe Levitre is better in that category. As I said before, it would be a huge success to land one or maybe both players

I've heard initial contact has been made with the agents for Kruger, C Williams, Levitre, Barnes and LaVon Landry. Still early.

[smittywerb]

Holy crap, if we were to get both, that would speed this retool process up by at least a year or two.

[Nobody]

FYI, everyone- https://twitter.com/ChrisWesseling is a good place to check for updates on teams interest. His early guess is we land Vasquez. Also said we are going harder after Vasquez and he likes Vasquez better than Levitre.

[TKnight24]

If we do grab Landry & these 2 lineman.... I think the draft will be CB, OLB, & DL

Still didn't see anything on DRC?

I don't think the inference is that we are trying to sign both. I believe Cole means that those teams ( Colts Titans , Bills) are trying to sign one of the top two guards. If you read it like most of you seem to , it would mean all 3 of those teams are trying to sign both guards. Don't you think it's as simple as they are talking to Levitre and Vasquez with the intention of landing one of the two ?

I think we have the cap to sign both though.

Did they send a blank check to all of their agents?

[B-B]

Hope we can land both, though I'll still be happy if we only get one

[UKColt13]

Oh man, can you imagine if we got both of them, we would fortify our line for the next 5 years.

But why would ANYONE want to play with the Bills or Titans instead of the Colts??? That's a dumb decision to make imo

[NewEra]

I know right! But if we are talking about colts verse the browns have to seriously think about that one, lol

Well there are a lot of players that only sign with teams based off of money. Doesn't matter is there good or not.

Who is Barnes?

[Sacmo]

I called this..

I think 6 / 7 mil for vasquez

7-8 for livitre

kruger 9-10 mil

cary williams 5-6 mil

those 4 under 30 mil still have 10 mil for fa,s

[LockeDown]

We have every advantage over Bills and Titans assuming money is the same.  LOS stadium, Andrew Luck, Pagano is beloved, assuming they fit our system, chance for playoffs,etc...if we make offers to both, we should get them both.

[Balzer40]

Then I agree with him. I still don't see Levitre as a scheme fit and I don't believe for a second that Levitre is a better run blocker as somebody said earlier. He plays in a scheme that makes him look better as a run blocker but he would not be as good in a man system. I say were using Levitre to land Vasquez.

[1959Colts]

Who is Barnes?

My guess is the OLB from the Chargers

[TKnight24]

I know right! But if we are talking about colts verse the browns have to seriously think about that one, lol

Ok, ignore the cap space for a minute

Offense: Would you rather Andrew Luck as your QB or an unknown QB (Weeden isn't the locked in starter)

Defensive: Would you rather play with Veteran leaders like Mathis & Redding. Or would you rather a Defense that's good, but the offense doesn't reward you by scoring?

Browns don't compare to us either.

[dw49]

I think we have the cap to sign both though.

 

 

I'm sure that we do , I'm just trying to say that I don't think Cole's tweet infers that's our intention. I think if you have the money to upgrade the guard possition , you would talk to the two top guys.
