Samson Satele (analysis)

Recommended Posts

Ya, we all know how inexplicable it is that Satele remains as our starting Center. Does he have blackmail pics of coaches? Is Grigson just that bull headed that he won't admit that the guy he brought in is complete garbage??

 

Who knows.

 

What we need to do is point out some pieces on tape, because it's painfully obvious that the team is not doing so, or refuses to take of their rose colored glasses.

 

Take a look:

This is the last play of the Colts’ first drive, a three-and-out. Mike McGlynn and Trent Richardson blow pass blocks, flushing Luck out of the pocket. After a good initial block that steered his man into Thornton’s grip, Satele is in front of the play with nothing to do as Luck starts to scramble. He is clearly aware that Luck is scrambling:

What does Satele do?

 

A. Help Cherilus (in the foreground) on his man.
B. Head upfield and block one of the linebackers.
C. Help Thornton on his man.
D. Sit down and look for four-leaf clovers.
E. Do nothing.

Yep. It’s E. He doesn’t turn upfield until Luck is past him:

 

 

John Abraham, the linebacker on the right side of the second screenshot, tackles Luck after a gain of three, forcing a punt. Granted, Luck is quick and Satele is not, and it would be hard for Satele to stay in front of Luck when the latter has a full head of steam. But it took Satele a painfully long time to get turned around and moving. As you can see, Luck moves five yards straight up the field between the two screen shots, while Satele moves about a yard to the hash marks and roughly six inches upfield. At the very least, Satele could have tried to keep up with Luck and give him a push in the back after contact. But he dawdled along behind and didn’t even touch a defender.

Yipper!

He doesn`t hold up at the point of attack.

And a real dud with awareness.

 

Coach is determined to stick with his vets. His Code.

Then make their changes after the season. I get it.

IMO Irsay chose to pay one trick poney Freeney $14M rather than pay for Quality O-Lineman, netting us S & Mc.
Oh well, its been ughly to watch them so far.

That was useful. Plagiarism can get you expelled from college. You presented the post as if you created it, and to make matters worse you didn't include the part of the article where he gives Satele credit. I guess that didn't fit your childish agenda in calling him names.

Failure all around.

Ever the peace maker. Thanks Brent, I'll try not to be so sanctimonious in the future.

You guys are both awesome...not always (some would say 'usually not :)) a peacemaker buddy!  I don't like my friends with some of the same ideas and sarcasm/analysis to go at it...!!!  :)

    • All - this is the real question.   What do the 32 GMs in the league know that the rest of us (we're on the outside looking in) don't know?   Answer that question and you'll have what you need to analyze the choices made by the leadership of your favorite team.
    • We have the weak secondary where a player in FA can be signed for a year and get a starting job. We also have the money to afford any of them. Not too many other teams have that combination of both factors right now. Also, the draft recently happened and I'm guessing a lot of these teams want to try out their early round picks in the secondary right now. We didn't draft anyone in the secondary until the 5th round. We are somewhat desperate (not to mention Daniel Scott is out for the year again). Other teams are not at the moment.
    • Why do you think A and B are the only options?    What’s the reason for Ballard to be cheap?   What incentive would there be?    Posters like Superman and w87r have crunched the numbers.  The Colts are among the league leaders in spending.     Ballard’s is going into his 8th year.  He’s been competitive in 6 of the 8 seasons and I personally think season 1 was a tank.    Also…. Ballard always says the team is always looking to improve.  It’s now mid-June, so the Colts have 5 more weeks to sign someone before camp starts.  There are a number of FA safeties available.  Why aren’t the other 31 teams signing these players either.  They’re certainly good enough.  But it’s Ballard who is wrong or incompetent or cheap or something and not anyone else.    
    • This is a great story on Mitchell. The part in here where Mitchell explains how much he appreciates Ballard going to bat for him was awesome.    
    • As the old saying goes, you want to draft guys who can get into the end zone, or guys who can knock down their QB.     I think the Colts are built that way.  With a lot less emphasis on guys who can cover their WRs.     Ball control, minimize their opportunities to score.
