HtownColt Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 @KBowenColts: Pagano said Jeff Linkenbach will start for McGlynn. Said Thornton will see some action in the 1st half as well.@KBowenColts: Pagano said Mike McGlynn got hit on the knee yesterday in practice. MRI was negative. Has a bone bruise and won't play this weekend.Here is the other players oppurtunity to make a case for his spot Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodLuck Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Edit: you changed tge info, I dont wish injury on anyone, not even bad players that shouldnt be playing. But maybe Satele can help him rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil J Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 This "bone bruise" will keep him from starting the rest of the year. Best way for the front office to save face for keeping this buffoon on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NagelHausForge Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Link is def a better guard than tackle, IMO. Hopefully Holmes can come in and make his case for starter... not likely since he hasnt practiced all year... but one can hope. I am not as down in Link as everyone else. He is a utility player that though he may not go to any pro bowls he usually gets the job done... usually... mostly... sometimes... every now and then...

He is a utility player that though he may not go to any pro bowls he usually gets the job done... usually... mostly... sometimes... every now and then... He's definitely improved in the last three seasons, but I can't get that Monday nighter in San Diego out of my mind. I blame the coaches more than I blame him, by the way. He was getting abused, and the coaching staff didn't do anything about it. I shudder at the thought of him playing guard, even though he was somewhat decent there last season.

Phil J Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 You think they'd rather make up an injury than just bench or release him?There is something about him they love. Maybe they know they can't start him anymore, but keep him for depth in case of injury.And it's not made up, I know I put it quotes, but if he was a pro bowler he would be out there.

No one has ever suggested that he's Pro Bowl material. I don't mean to defend him; I don't think he's any good either.

TKnight24 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I wouldn't hold my breath if I were some of you so you guys shouldn't cheer about the injury.

CjMcGirt23 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Only thing that could of made this better would have been Thornton getting the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanianColtsFan Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Clearly that RG spot is intended for Thornton but he is coming back from injury and can't have it immediately, that's why they play Link first with Thornton coming in by the end of first half.

coltsfanatic24 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 If Thornton is healthy and plays well and we see a huge difference in the run game i think he'll start. He was our 2nd pick in the draft he was expected to come in and contribute right away. Doesn't matter if he's a rookie he's just a bigger,stronger,quicker more talented player then McGlynn.

I highly doubt they think that much of McGlynn, but from what I saw last year the potential replacements stunk too. And there is a reason they drafted Thornton......

MFT5 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm not saying I'm happy about McGlynn being injured but I'm not upset either ... Clearly he's not the best guard in the league and his injury gives us a chance to see what our options are capable of So nm maybe I am happy idk ill wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markabrown96 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Mcglynn shown what he can do. Lets see if any of these others guys can do better. Its like the coaching staff does'nt want to hurt his feelings for benching him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Ya know through all the hate Mcglynn gets hurled at him I have to say he does inspire me.......You see, as I have said on these boards before...I am in a wheelchair....everytime I see Mcglynn play and get thrown down I think to myself......I shoulda tried out! how hard can it be, stand there like I know what Im doing and when the snap happens just fall down!...seriously how hard can that be?! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoColts8818 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I am not saying they won't do better than McGlynn because trust me I would love for one to do it but if we find out the guys behind McGlynn aren't better then what?I am excited to see what others can do.

Guess we won't be winning a super bowl with that attitude I didn't mean it in that way. What I meant is Satele is paid to be the starter so they will treat him as so. Satele is not the better player of the two. We have all seen this. We all know the line worked better with him in, but that isn't the only factor into making a team. Satele has factors we don't see on the field. How he works in practice, in the locker room, his leadership, ect... What I am trying to say is Satele may have been the lesser talented, but his overall value is better. Or that is what I would like to think the Front Office believes, and not just playing because of pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horse Shoe Heaven Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Linkenbach is not a good guard IMO better tackle ok swing guy, I would start REITZ, would rather see Ijalana, but apparently the coaches think he sucks, but in the time he plays plays well & I hear he is having a good camp HMMMMMM?
