Kreutz Walks. Does It Matter For The Colts?

[Lodogg2221]

Havent seen this anywhere on here or any of the Colts blogs, but seems to me its a big deal, at least big enough for a thread, given some of the other stuff that garners one.

Olin Kreutz, starting Center, walked away from the Saints Thursday I believe, and was probable for the game. He had been injured, but he was also one of the captains, and the O-lines anchor.

I dont pay enough attention to the Saints to know how it will affect them, but there has to be some kind of a negative vibe going around considering a potential HOF Center just walked out on his team.

Maybe its a non-issue?

Thoughts?

It won't make much of a difference at all.

Not a big deal, because our DTs are not great, and our MLB rarely blitzes.

It is a big deal especially if they wanna run the ball, who knows they could have trouble during snaps

Not too worried about the center situation. Matt Tennant played very well in the preseason, and has been on this team for 2 years now, and is more than ready to take over.

Well id like to see how he does on one on one situations... for this game id love to see brayton and anderson on the inside

Not a big deal. Our soft zone will be tore to shreds and our defense will be on the field very long.

Kreutz is well away from his best days. He's a liability in the run game especially. His replacement Matt Tennant will make the Saints OL better - just not as experienced, but a better blocker and won't screw up snaps etc.

Sadly I think the whole darn Saints team would have to walk out.

If we had Monta Tio we will blitz

It will probably help the Saints. I seen where Kreutz was getting thrown around like a rag doll in the run game because he was only around 275 lbs. this season.
