Maybe Mathis isn't the only player who reads our nonsense.

lmao Eblack's comments

When the entire forum agrees that a certain player sucks, it's invalid to call it nonsense. It's officially a fact

I suppose exceptions can be made.

I kinda feel bad for him, but I would like our O-line to improve and it starts with him.

[SteelCityColt]

I had a degree of sympathy for Satele, I mean if you're trying your hardest and just happen to not be very good it's understandable. I mean the coaching staff kept putting him out there so they must shoulder some (most?) of the blame.

 

However this little exchange.... just blew all that sympathy away like the bad guy in Lethal Weapon 2. How to win friends and influence people!

The only player who tried their hardest on the Colts this season but just didn't work was DHB

Samson Satele is just flat out garbage. There is no trying. You ever see him try to block? I'd rather watch paint dry & sip some apple juice while doing so

Ha I was trying to be nice. Would agree about DHB effort, why I don't get a lot of the hate directed to him. Yeah he didn't work out but he wasn't an [insert expletive of choice] while here. 

[Colts_Fan12]

The things people said!! That was prolly one of the funniest things I've seen man Satele SUCKS!!!

[HungarianColtsFan]

There is an article on RantSport, what states Satele was arguably the worst C in the NFL, I think he is mad about this article:

"Satele is arguably the worst center in the league and will cost Indianapolis over $5 million if he remains on the roster next year. Releasing him would bring a charge of just $1 million, so he absolutely needs to go.

people are awful

[Naptown Lifer]

Gotta feel kind of bad for the guy. I wonder if I was a pro athlete if I would care if I sucked at the pro level? Seems like a decent family man from twitter, but he's the weakest link on our line, and seeing as how pep never calls outside runs, stretch plays, or tosses some change needs to be made.

Here's a thought, if satele is the worst c in the nfl, and Holmes can't start over him is Holmes our guy? Yeah yeah I know it takes rookies time to develop, but come on. If you can't start over the worst center in the league what do u bring to the table. Center and guard positions need to be addressed in free agency. Use the draft for defense since chuck is supposed to be great at coaching developing them.

[DoubleE Colt]

I would think the guy is concerned about losing a good payday too, I doubt he's going to walk into another starter role.

[Smonroe]

Kind of missed that grammar block, didn't he?

[MTC]

Satele is mad he missed the pro bowl. He'll calm down.

Everything that is wrong with this forum summed up in one post.

Mrs Satele, don't get upset. Your son is a millionaire. He will be fine.

[Gavin]

Meh, I dont blame him really for him suckin so bad here in Indy, He is limited physically... good at getting up to the second level but not strong enough to hold blocks or maul someone, He wasn't good in Oakland either, if someone is to blame its Grigson for not spotting Satele lack of talent to begin with

[Naptown Lifer]

Mrs Satele, don't get upset. Your son is a millionaire. He will be fine.

We'll of course he will be fine. The colts will alwAys be fine, and anyone who thinks any different on this forum always has your condescending sarcastic remarks to look forwards to.

[MR. Blueblood]

This was a pretty comical read, thanks for sharing.

 

I wonder if he (Satele) will ever elaborate on just what the bigger picture is?  

[IndyD4U]

LOL!

 

EB35 was tearing him up. Truth hurts

[That Guy]

It's been a sad couple days for me...  I'm a Hawai'i Warriors fan, and Satele and Bess might both be out of a job soon.

[Dustin]

I can access twitter here at work, can someone copy/paste the tweet and the exchange everyone is talking about please? Thanks.

[lollygagger8]

Hey Satele.......

 

Just do it with any team not named the Colts!!

@satele64 but if this has anything to do with your play on the field. It's obvious that you aren't very good and you're replaceable.

Well sense he obviously reads forum lol.Dude quit bobbing that head on passing situations ,your gonna get our franchise QB killed !

[BrentMc11]

This is one thread that I wish we had UNLIMITED LIKES!...  I am out already!

 

On one side I have been one of the very harshest of Satele critics starting with Jay Kirk's Head Bob catch Satele's first year...and we all saw it and ran with it. (Gotta give credit where credit is due)  His Whiff What the ____ blocking that even sportswriters have a field day on....just horrendous.

 

On the other side I see how it would hurt someone's feelings when 'kids' swear at him on Twitter.  Just do not respond Samson....you have made your money and it is time to go.  Simple as that.  I heard the Argonauts need a center and will add the Satele Bobblehead Night to their season ticket package.  

 

Samson.  Please do not take this wrong, but it is YOU that does not understand the big picture:  We thought you were better than this when we signed you.  Grigs gave you one last chance.  Good Luck.  Take care of those knees...

[Coffeedrinker]

Satele should not have responded.  I agree with him that the tweeters (I'm not on twitter so I have no idea what those who tweet are called.  I call them twits but I don't think that is correct) probably know very little about football and it was proven with the fool that made the comment about watching every Colts snap since he was 7.  Even if that were true that is less than 1/10 the snaps Satele has done since he's been with the Colts, let alone in his career.

As far as the bigger picture, it is line calls, film study, understanding the D, how he does on the game plan tests, changing line calls, play of the guards, etc.  I think Satele is an average center who is not very strong by NFL standards (I've said that since the first time I saw him play in the preseason) and the Colts could get by with him at center if they had good guard play on both sides.  Not for $5 mil, IMO, but I don't make the calls on the purse strings.

For the money in hand, and the desperate need to fill a roster, at the time, I don't blame Grigson.

I don't know who has been available since then, but I thought we all understood that some stop gap players were brought in to fill the roster, and would be replaced when we could do so.

 

Last year seemed to be about improving the bottom of the roster, and a few more stop gaps, more than anything.

Yeah definitly...But we did throw 10.8 mill at Satele with 3.9 guaranteed, Im having trouble logging onto spotrac to see who else we could have potentially had at that price at Center, Just seems like we could have done a little better there....Maybe not, not complaining of course, its all done and over

[jskinnz]

If I was an athlete or any one in the public eye, no way would I be on twitter.  I am just not sure the good outweighs the bad.  It gives the * a voice and even if the guy that Satele is going back and forth with is right, having to deal with that garbage is just wrong. 

[Tark The Shark]

That one guy laid into him on twitter and ruffled Satele's feathers.

 

I would say that he didn't deserve it, but the guy is right, he really is bad.

 

And I think everybody with any sense on this forum, knows he and McGlynn are holding the rest of the offense back.

[PrincetonTiger]

wow

Had he never sent that original tweet this little argument would have never happened.  He brought that upon himself. If you are this thinned skinned one should definitely not be on twitter.

 

I will be glad when he is cut and we find an upgrade at that position.
