thornton misses second day of practice

[CR91]

if he cant go, would we start holmes at C and move shipley to G?

Harrison entered the game at RG when Thornton went down against Jacksonville, so I assume he'll start in his place.

yea, but that was because holmes was inactive

I would think the same thing, although Reitz is back at practice...

It's hard to tell if Holmes will play or not on Sunday.

 

Coaches are really downplaying him.

[swifty1812]

Shipley at G is a bad idea, even he would say that. That ended up being why he was let go from Baltimore. He is really too slow for a G, and is just not natural at all there. I would almost bet it would be either Holmes, Harrison, or Louis.

[NewColtsFan]

I think Shipley stays at Center and either Holmes or Harrison would start at guard....

 

Could Reitz start at guard?    Now that I think about it,  I suppose the answer could be yes to him as well....

[MTC]

I think the coaches want him at tackle. Plus he's been away w/ the injury so the communication might not be there. Who knows.

Shipley isn't going to play guard. Colts have him marked down as a center. 

 

It's between Harrison or Holmes at guard. Possibly Louis, but he's not great. 

[Bluefire4]

I'm just hoping Thorton practices in full tomorrow. If he can't start, I bet we go to Harrison again.

[HtownColt]

Either Reitz or Holmes should play RG if Thornton can't go

[Valpo2004]

I think moving Shipley to guard would be a mistake.  

 

That's why he got cut from the Ravens, they tried to play him at guard and he was reportedly terrible at guard.

[Valpo2004]

For the record didn't Thronton finish out the game?  One would think that he should be a go on Sunday.

 

Most likely they are just resting him.

[TKnight24]

if he cant go, would we start holmes at C and move shipley to G?

:no:

Are you mad??!! You don't put Shipley at G, that's what got him traded by us & cut by the Ravens

Move Holmes to G since everyone is so supportive of him being starter

Holmes

Reitz

Harrison

Leave Shipley at C. Don't give Andrew nightmares when he's been having dreams the past 3 weeks

come down TK take your medicine and by that I mean youre apple juice

[Smonroe]

Is Louis hurt too?  Sorry, I can't remember what happened to him.

 

I guess it's telling that Harrison came in for Thornton last week. 

 

I could be dead wrong, but it seems to me that Thornton is the weak link on the offense right now.  Not that he's playing bad, but I don't see anything exceptional from him.  I need to see Ben Gundy's scores.

I'm just saying, you're tryna cost Shipley a spot on the team. He's accepted he can't play G and that's why he said he's gonna compete for the starting C role

keep him at center then

No, I was asking about the NFL player on our roster.  I'm pretty sure he's not homeless or riding the rails.

Some day you're going to be old enough where posts like this are going to be embarrassing to you.

 

I'm sorry that day is not today,  but it will happen someday.    And the sooner the better.

 

I don't think of anyone playing in the National Football League as a bum.....

You have your views, I have mine. There's plenty of bad players in the NFL

 Funny you don`t see that he has given us the best pulls we have seen since Lilja-Scott. How do you think TRich had those 4-5 runs that made him look like a good back?

[throwing BBZ]

 It isn`t an informed view, just blather. He has a History of having played quite well before he was injured and you can`t handle it.

He is a one position player unfortunately, and i would expect you don`t understand the meaning of that as it relates to the active game day roster.

[NewColtsFan]

Perhaps......

 

But I don't even think of bad players.....  as bums.

[beavis]

Hasn't anyone said who has been practicing in his spot?

[SOMDColtsfan]

Lance Louis is a bum

Paulie called Rocky a "bum".. he turned out to be pretty good lol

[TKnight24]

True, but that doesn't apply here. Louis has been in the league long enough to determine if he's good or bad..... And he's bad

Much like DHB, a bum

[Smonroe]

I see him as an average G, and there's nothing wrong with that. Hardly as good as our SB G's, by any means.

Read the indepth analysis by Gundy on Colts Academy. It's still subjective, but it's hard to argue with what he's seeing.

[ColtsHoosiersBB]

Shipley has cemented his job at center so let Holmes rotate through the revolving door

of often injured offensive linemen.

G Lance Louis was deactive for the Jacksonville game. My guess is Louis starts if Thornton can't go.

[Dark Superman]

Has Holmes ever played Guard?

[TKnight24]

Has Holmes ever played Guard?

At USC. Junior year I believe. So basically yes lol

agree

[Valpo2004]

So would Holmes basically be the #1 option if there are any injuries on the interior?

 

I'll say we have a lot of depth on the line, especially the interior.

[ProblChld32]

That is not good news.... Hope he has a speedy recovery. 

[krunk]

I don't recall Harrison being at guard in Thorntons' place at all.  From the game pictures I saw Jamon Meredith came in for Thornton.  That makes even more sense if Louis was on the inactive list for the game.

The # of ways this simple little statement is just flat wrong boggles the mind.

Harrison replaced Thornton immediately after he was hurt.  They showed Harrison as soon as they came back from the commercial break.  Meredith came in when they went to jumbo packages and he had to report as an extra linemen.
