COLTS SIGN T-JACK BRECKNER

[James Harden]

Good to know the offensive line is already being upgraded. This guy is a beast being 6-9 and over 300 pounds. 

[CR91]

we dont need a tackle though

[Colts_Fan12]

we dont need a tackle though

That's what I thought when I seem this too we NEED A NEW C and G

[jvan1973]

Isn't King Dunlap the same size?

[Colts_Fan12]

If this guy comes in and beats out Cherilus or Castanzo then ill be impressed lol

[MTC]

Can he play guard?

[James Harden]

we dont need a tackle though

but still have more depth on the offensive line would be a major boost. 

[Colts_Fan12]

True but we need to worry about our starting unit not sucking first

[MTC]

It's funny how on rotoworld it says that Colts have a trouble spot on tackle.

[jvan1973]

True but we need to worry about our starting unit not sucking first

tough to do that until the FA period begins

[Patagonia Chris]

TBH I kind of like the project players that Grigson brings in every year. It keeps things interesting in a rather boring time of the season. So far Grigson has done ok signing players like this, Jerrel Freeman was a hit and I liked what I saw from Cesaur Rayford before they traded him. I still don't understand that move. I think Adongo has the potential to be a quality NFL player, he certainly has the athleticsm. If anything this move increases depth along the O-line, which I'm all for.

[James Harden]

Can he play guard?

It would be really nice if he can transition onto another position. I would really love to see this guy go 1 on 1 with JJ Watt.

[PrincetonTiger]

Another player to root for

[Mitch]

I was thinking the same thing. Tackle is far from our trouble spots on the roster. Cherilus and Castonzo are both great, just need to fix that interior.

[Beauregarde]

Cannon fodder, he will never stick with the team. There is a reason he was in arena football.

[TKnight24]

Never fails. Every time the sign a player, at least one person posts "Won't last" or "Won't make the roster"

Congratulations on being that person this time

[BleedBlue18]

Lol obviously you have no idea that there are hidden gems in arena football. Try to be a little more open-minded man you never know when we might find one. Everything I've watched the last few hours is videos of him playing. He looks like a beast. Puts an interesting twist to our T spot. Maybe he can beat Castonzo or Cherilus? At least a depth signing if he can make the 53?

[lollygagger8]

If he is moving to guard, then yaaaayyy. 

[Indygal1218]

Cannon fodder, he will never stick with the team. There is a reason he was in arena football.

 

Hmm. Are you aware that Super Bowl champion and MVP Kurt Warner was found playing in the arena football league after he went undrafted in the NFL?  Never count anyone out until they prove otherwise.

[jvan1973]

where was freeman?

[austriancolt]

I just hope Grigson isn't trying to fix the Offensive Line with some low budget names again...

[BrentMc11]

Can he play guard?

No, but he can guard David West 

[Beauregarde]

Hmm. Are you aware that Super Bowl champion and MVP Kurt Warner was found playing in the arena football league after he went undrafted in the NFL?  Never count anyone out until they prove otherwise.

I am aware of that. I hope he does well I just don't think that people that big with talent get lost by the rest of the NFL.

[Insert Colts Pun Here]

We don't need a starting tackle.

 

A bit more depth would be nice though.

[BrentMc11]

Here was the Colts blog...from a huge football university.(Could not Paste it)

 

Gustavus Adolphus College

 

May be as good as PJs Beauty College for OL....

[rock8591]

tough to do that until the FA period begins

 

Cesar Rayford really wasn't that good. Pre-season games aren't the best evaluator.

 

Much like Drake Nevis, who everyone (including me) was initially shocked at being released,..the latter was eventually released by the Chargers and Cowboys in the same year.

Hey, now!  Freeman is from some little college nobody's heard of.  

 

There are some jewels in them there beauty colleges.  

[Indygal1218]

Is anybody here former OL?  I'm just curious as to how hard it is to move between various positions in the line.

[Gavin]

I like his nimble feet and shows the ability to turn his defender

Just kidding of course

We won't be playing a 6'9 guard.

[That Guy]

I like the signing!  He may not be a guard, but a new tackle allows us to move Xavier Nixon to guard.

[Indygal1218]

We won't be playing a 6'9 guard.

 

Why not?  And that is a serious question.  Why wouldn't a team field a 6'9" guard?

 

And my previous question still stands.

[Smonroe]

Sometimes the taller guards are easier to get 'under the pads'.  Obviously it depends on how athletic they are.

 

Size is important, but not as important as quickness and technique.

 

I agree with That Guy, Nixon looked pretty good to me at least as far as depth.  He looked like he could play interior line.

[jvan1973]

And my previous question still stands.

most interior linemen arent that tall. it makes it tough for the qb to have a clear passing lane

i think Robert gallery is the tallest guard ever at 6'7 and he started at tackle

[James Harden]

We won't be playing a 6'9 guard.

I don't know that that but definitely not a center. Luck would have a really hard time throwing over him    

[Jason_]

I just hope Grigson isn't trying to fix the Offensive Line with some low budget names again...

 

right now, these are the only types of players Grigson can go after.  He'll get his chance on some bigger names when FA starts next month.

[Beauregarde]

Wasn't Ed "Too Tall" Jones 6'9"?

[scousecolt]

Having good tackles is never a problem, hopefully he shows enough to become a decent back up.

[jameszeigler834]

This team has no depth behind AC and GC that's actually worth a crap so why not give him a shot.
