McGlynn benched and other roster moves [Merge]

[Dustin]

Link will start tday. Via NFL mobile.

[PrincetonTiger]

I saw that

[MTC]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT

 

Edit: Can Colts bench Thornton too? He gave up more hits this season than McGlynn.

[YOUR GM]

I don't think it would hurt to bench Thornton at this point either, for Reitz. It would immediately improve pass pro, as Reitz and AC already had a good chemistry going last year in that regard. At least we have a shot now

[SevaColt]

Castonzo Reitz Mcglynn Thorton Cherilus.Obvious answer.

[Indygal1218]

How soon does the "why aren't we benching Satele" thread start?

[GoDeep]

Woo hoo! And Brown gets the start!

I thought the same thing until I read the Colts Authority study on how they actually play. Perception is sometimes different than facts.

By all means, link me to the article. I'd like to understand what changed your opinion

why aren't we benching satele....and put Mcglynn  in at center?

[Smonroe]

Very detailed article. If you want to cut to the chase, go to the comments section and see his reply to my question. I wondered why Reitz couldn't start over McGlynn. Like others have said, I prefer him at C.

At this point of wouldn't mind seeing Thorton shifted to his scheduled RG spot, satele get replaced by Mcfly and Reitz go to the LGspot where he did ok. However, we know Mcfly is below avg at either LG or C and Reitz is an avg guy that is back up quality only, not a starter and may bea better tackle anyway than at guard which is where he had been groomed for. Thorton has struggled but at least he is growing and his struggles may straighten out with reps, the other guys, we know their cieling so you have to leave him in to mature and learn. I'd really like to see him on thert side though with the changes. Link should help the run game though.

Maybe they are giving both guys a message, mcfly, you're terrible at gaurd, have a seat, satele, ifyou don't improve this week, Crappy Mcfly takes over for you, what does that say about you?

Interesting. Thanks

[1959Colts]

I like Linkenbach at guard.

[TKnight24]

But we still have Satele there soooo yeah

[Slick_Rick]

Just for the record, before McGlynn, wasn't Link this forums whipping boy?

[TKnight24]

Yup

That let's you know how bad Mike McGlynn is when the forum misses the old whipping boy.

As the old saying goes, "never know what you have until it's gone"

[dudeski]

he is better than mcglynn though. He sucks too

[Turftoe]

Or, "be careful what you ask for...you might get it".  Link is a substandard lineman, but is amazingly better than McGlynn.  I guess it's all relative...

[YOUR GM]

Link was and still is a terrible tackle. He is a better guard than McGlynn, however

[Derakynn]

Will be very interesting to see how well he does. Hopefully these changes work so the staff can see that change is allowed.

[Gavin]

Linkenbach is not the answer going forward but at least we finally decided to play with 5 O Linemen instead of handicapping ourselves with Mcglynn, Dont exactly know how much Irsay had to do with this but if he was the biggest reason in this then that man gained ALOT of respect from me! Well done Mr. Irsay if you prompted this move to be done!

Reitz sucked last year too

[dudeski]

Reitz sucked last year too

he was ok last year when healthy

[YOUR GM]

Reitz sucked last year too

Post-injury, maybe. Before he got hurt, he was solid. Even so, post-injury, I thought he still played better than McGlynn

Putting IT the clown and taking our chances that some D Linemen on opposing teams is scared of clowns at RG would be better then Mcglynn

[coltsdan]

up until today where i saw brown getting the start and mcglyn getting benched, i didnt know if this coaching staff was going to take necessary moves, or worse didnt see it on the playing field.  its nice to see that they are at least taking a chance

[YOUR GM]

It just frustrates me even thinking about how out of all the linemen on our roster, he made it out of camp with not only a job, but a starting one, at that

[Bradley Prentice]

Also the release of reed! Three moves that show willingness to change

[Poster X]

I'll be much happier when he reaches the unemployment line.

[pgt_rob]

It took long enough, but yes, I can see the light.

Outside of Ben Ijalana(just did not get to see enough of Ijalana unfortunately but what he put out there was good...I think coaching staff just lost confidence in his ability to stay healthy) I dont think he had any competition that was far and away enough to knock him off the roster(certainly not any competition that was or is going to be with the team long term in terms of backups) ......Coaching staff also saw him as versatile....probably still does actually sad to say

[James Harden]

yeah I'm with you.

your wrong he hasn't been that bad for a rookie like I said rookies get passes but until next year if he is as bad as people say he wont last the season next year.

[dw49]

Wow.. lots of changes this week. Cuts , adds and lineup changes . Strange (not sure the right word to use) that it's pretty much everything this board has been screaming about for weeks now. 

[kjyb]

yepp i am excited for this game

[PrincetonTiger]

Irsay, Grigson or Pagano is one of us.

[IndyScribe]

This is the first time I've been excited about a Colts game since the Broncos vs Colts.
