Dark Superman Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I realize that no one really talks about this guy on here and I just wanted to point out that this guy has been our best offensive lineman all season. He's a stone wall and has been very effective in the passing game.. I'm content with him and Costanzo as our ends, so if we can find the pieces to fill our inner core on the line we will be set for years to come. Great job Grigson and Co. For bringing this guy to Indianapolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustAColtsFan Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 You know a lineman is good when you DON'T hear much about him. They only talk about them when they screw up LOL!! GO GOSDER!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buck_hunter21 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I was just about to type the same thing JustAColtsFan. Like refrees, if a lineman is getting a lot of attnetion its typically not a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKnight24 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 You guys keep saying "interior line" but forget Thornton will be a 2nd year, & Donald Thomas is coming back. We just need a center that's all & hope our injury bug problems fade next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Him and Landry were my two favorite additions at the beginning of the year. He has shown more than enough that he is worth the contract we gave him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwinnettColt Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 If McGlynn moves to Center We might have all the pieces already I agree. A lot of us think that yet each Sunday, Satele trots out there and gets on the ball. I can't figure it out. If I had a car that constantly stalled out and didn't get me where I was supposed to, why would I keep trying to drive that car when there's another one that works perfectly fine in the garage?

For bringing this guy to Indianapolis.He's been solid, but he's not been our best linemen, not by a long shot. AC is our best.Decent RT, definitely not pro bowl worthy. I agree, out OTs are set, as is the rest of the line if Thomas comes back - except at C. If we could get someone like Mack we'd be formidable.Our biggest issue is when we put two less than average guys, like Satele and McGlynn next to each other.

Tark The Shark Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Cherilus and Castonzo are very good bookends for the line. I wouldn't say pro bowl season for either one, but we just need to fill in the chapters of the line because we have a good beginning and end to our offensive line book.

OldManP Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 A lineman should get attention when blocking for a running back. It takes good linemen for an RB to be successful. Occasionally, the TV guys will show linemen swinging around to clear a path for the runner. Does not happen enough, the focus is always on the RB.

AntonMcG Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 He has been steady, wasn't great against the Chiefs though. Don't know if he is our best lineman... Castonzo is definitely a better run blocker. Hard to know what we will get from Thomas next year, played pretty well until he went down. Thornton was terrible until the last couple of games, but he should not be considered a cert to start next year, so I would still like to see us bring in another Guard. Center is an absolute must, De La Puente would be a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has shown more than enough that he is worth the contract we gave him.I was glad to see these 2 signings too although reviewing them at this stage of the year, Landry has been just a smidge above avg and really hasn't given us the big impact plays we should be getting from that spot imo. If we had a competent RG, we might have even better play from Cherilous than we've already seen but I like he has given us to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonMcG Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 he was inconsistent. not terrible mcglynn is terrible. thornton was always better than mcglynn When McGlynn played Guard... probably. There was about a 3 game stretch when Thornton looked like our worst lineman... don't think he is comfortable in a power offense... has been much better in a quicker tempo, spread system, then again what lineman wouldn't be. McGlynn is horrible, no one disputes that, but lets not act like that is the standard we should hold our linemen against. Thornton has improved, he is a rookie, and he has plenty of upside... but the jury is still out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
