Positive about Donald Thomas Injury


Dark Superman

Recommended Posts

Hugh Thornton is getting a lot of playing time..

First team reps in practice and starting at guard for our offense for the rest of the season..

By the time next year rolls around we will have to good tackles and guards as long as everyone can stay healthy.

And who knows maybe Holmes will emerge as a possible starter.

Or we stay with Satele or look into free agency.

I think our line has potential to be really good next year.

Can't forget the addition of Trent Richardson as well..

Plus Dwayne Allen will be. Back, he helps I'm blocking packages.

There is nothing positive about losing your best interior lineman.

 

And Thomas coming back IS NOT a guarantee.   He suffered a very serious injury.  

 

Personally I do not see him coming back from this.   Quad, bicep, tri,  and pec tears have ended a lot of players careers.

 

From what I have gathered from local media it was not a tendon tear but the muscle itself "tore" ...   that is bad.  I could be wrong, and I hope I am.

 

It would be like trying to sew a piece of meat to another piece of meat...   ugghhh     That is how it was explained to me via local media.    This is not an cut and dry rehap for DT, and it is so sad because he was INDY's best lineman up until his injury.

 

I hope he makes it back.

They paid him ...   and they do not like to admit failure.

 

If they were truly "open minded" to the competition battles then AQ would be here and SS would be unemployed.

 

But, such is how this business works....

 

 

OH, and SS would not be starting again this week....      sigh.....

 

now if only the colts would bench satele. I dont get what their fascination is with him

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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….
