More trades to come?

[Dark Superman]

We just traded for Trent Richardson..

Could we possibly be in the hunt for another player or two?

Possibly an offensive lineman or perhaps a TE?

You never know with Irsay..

[Nobody]

I'd take an average to above average OG

[TubaGuy]

I would almost think that is a definite yes.  I see Brown and Brazill being packaged together to a team needing offensive, specifically receiving help.  Brown might not be a good blocker but he is a great receiver out of the backfield.

fixed it for you

[GoodLuck]

I say trade Trent Richardson for an Oline. Or Fleener and a 2 for Joe Thomas.

[Dark Superman]

Ha TKnight.

[indy1888]

With Grigson, there is ALWAYS the possibility of more trades.

[Dark Superman]

If we get a good guard of TE my spirits will be lifted..

[TubaGuy]

Donald Brown is a $2.7 mil hit to the cap to be a 3rd string RB/Special Teams captain.  Does anyone in their right mind really expect him to be here much longer?  Especially after missing key blocks last week??

[chad72]

Maybe Adam Snyder from the 49ers for OG???

[James]

No OG. I think Hugh Thornton will be a starter for the rest of the season. 

[Dark Superman]

Do you feel that way about MCGlynn?

[coltsblue1844]

No OG. I think Hugh Thornton will be a starter for the rest of the season. 

yeah...but as a result of the Thomas injury, so will Mike McSuck

[coltsblue1844]

At the offensive skill positions, the Colts are now stacked with great young talent...if we had even an AVERAGE caliber NFL starting Offensive Line...we would be scary good on Offense...unfortunately, we do not  

[jameszeigler834]

not if we trade for somebody better.

[BigQandTheManiac]

is eric winston still out there???

[CanuckColt]

A couple more trades and we won't even need to attend the 2014 draft.

[chad72]

Here is a name. Deuce Lutui. Another one is Leonard Davis. Both of them former Cardinals, I think. But they should fit our OL scheme.

[James]

Do you feel that way about MCGlynn?

 

McGlynn was actually decent against the Dolphins. However, I look forward to next season where our starting guards will be Thomas and Thornton.

[Dark Superman]

Don't we all..

[buccolts]

Is Bradshaw now trade bait?

Giants, Steelers, Cards?

[OLD FAN MAN]

A couple more trades and we won't even need to attend the 2014 draft.

as coach George allen of the skins once said., when he traded most of their draft picks. THE FUTURE IS NOW!!

[Colttodd18]

With the giants having rb issues and probably regretting letting Bradshaw go, what about a trade with them. Bradshaw for OL depth?

[CanuckColt]

Hmmmmmmmm...the Giants may very well have some interest in Bradshaw...wonder who we could get.

[coltsfanatic24]

I could see us trading for a C from a loosing team, someone like Nick Mangold for two 3rd's.

[Manning1887]

We should have tossed in our 2nd round pick to get either Mitchell Schwartz or Joe Thomas as well. It's great to get a player like Richardson, but that doesn't change our poor blocking.

Cleveland is having an auction so we might as well go after Joe Thomas too.

[oldunclemark]

I heard that.....we don't have anybody like him. Most teams dont

[oldunclemark]

Hmmmmmmmm...the Giants may very well have some interest in Bradshaw...wonder who we could get.

100% right Double C

...They'd kill to get Bradshaw back now..the guy they have fumbles the ball like its going out of style

I think Brazill is on IR. Cant trade a guy on IR.

[BleedBlu8792]

I think Brazill is on IR. Cant trade a guy on IR.

Brazill was suspended for 4 games

[HungarianColtsFan]

I think we need an OG and a serviceable TE.

[Thewholefnshow28]

The draft is how you sustain long term success in this league.  Part of Polian's downfall was his inability to hit on the top tier picks that we had and left our pantry empty.  Free agency and trades are not going to sustain a long term plan for this team so hopefully he will be done because we are not ready to win a title this year.

we are still rebuilding, its only tear 2 , that line will come but u cant fix / stock all positions all at one time

[MarylandTerrapin]

Some of you still don't get it.  Bradshaw is staying put for the year.  We need a punishing duo threat in the backfield who can also block on passing downs - AB and TR will probably split carries until TR learns the playbook. Then TR will get more carries - but count on AB still getting 10 carries a game.  I do agree that Brazil could be packaged with DB for a draft pick or OL help before the trade deadline.

 

I have to say that there are certain posters on this forum whose sole purpose in life is to complain.  We could be 2-0 and they'd still be complaining about something.  Bottom line is that we are a better team with TR....period.  Over the course of a season, he will be a difference maker in converting 3rd and short, scoring TDs in the red zone, and he will flourish in this offense.  Indy will put more pressure on opposing Ds because we'll now be even more difficult to gameplan against.  This will also open up more opportunities downfield for our WRs.  We'll continue to play hard and make a push towards the playoffs by seasons end.  That's worth being excited about.

You mean that "poor blocking" that has resulted in all 3 of our runningbacks averaging over 4 ypc and us having the 5th ranked rushing offense in the NFL?

People cannot look at numbers objectively. What this move does is allow us to play 2 WRs all the time and not need extra OL for blocking when your RB has to be respected for his power. We can use 2 TE/HB or 1 TE/1 FB for our running still with 2 WRs on the field all the time thus giving more options for Luck making him more efficient.

 

I'd rather Luck go 250 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT than Luck go 350 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs.

[pgt_rob]

I think if Grigson traded or found a spectacular guard player, everyone here would stop complaining and live a nice football season life. lol

[TMPHBITEU]

Yes, let's throw away all our 2014 draft picks. May as well throw away the 2015 picks while we're at it. It's not like you need draft picks to build your team, right?!

[chad72]

Chad Rinehart of the Chargers and Richie Incognito of the Dolphins will all be FA OGs next year. It is not like we cannot get that 1 OG.

 

But at some point, fellas, you have to let the continuity and chemistry gel. We ran pretty well against a good front 7 of the Dolphins, IMO albeit with multiple OLs and 1 WR formations.

 

Lets talk after 1 quarter, after game 4 and see where we are. If we run well vs the 49ers and get 100 yards, I don't think we can objectively say our OL stinks more than bad OLs around the league.
