this was what I was afraid of.  "mild mcl sprain"  translation.... we will be cringing until the results of the MRI.  it's always a mild sprain to keep speculators at bay.  sit out next game and be ready for game 1, really, you would risk that?  a mild sprain if that's what if even turns out to be isn't just going to heal right up, things inside there were stretched even with a mild mcl sprain. :facepalm:

You should refrain from talking about injuries

Have to admit that any injury ending in CL scares me a lot. Won't start this week. I'll predict he puts in his first appearance in the Miami game. No need to risk him too much against a Raiders D line that couldn't fight it way out of a wet paper bag.

Because the Raiders have one heck of a pass rush? I don't doubt reitz could do ok in an emergency lt spot against some teams but let's be real here he's not going to hold on the rest of the game if castonozo got hurt early in a regular season game. Would have to adjust protection and which could effect multiple parts of the offense.

I think Reitz would do fine as a starter too.

 

His technique was real good, allowing Andrew to step in several times by pushing the pass rusher away from Andrew if the rusher went outside or locking him if the pass rusher tried to go inside.

 

If Castanzo comes back, it better be in game 1. Otherwise, Cameron Wake in game 2 and Aldon Smith in game 3 would not be a way to knock rust off, IMO. :)

 

I have seen Castanzo enough to know that the lighter and quicker pass rushers like a Cameron Wake or Aldon Smith will give him issues. The first time I saw Castanzo in the Senior Bowl, Brooks Reed, the 2nd round pick of the Texans got him beat badly on an inside move that started with a quick fake outside. The quick fake outside but hard inside move from lighter and quicker OLBs is what I want to see Castanzo improve against.

Has Ijalana played any at LT this preseason?  Wonder why the Colts haven't tried him at RG?

 

I just watched the second and third quarter again and I can tell u we have no issues at RG if Thornton stay´s healty - he´ll be the starter rather sooner than later. Love this kid.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-tried-to-trade-up-for-brock-bowers-then-byron-murphy   You seem to be right.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By w87r · Posted

      Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Solid84 · Posted

      Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly.

      This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.

      I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….
