I watch Mewhort almost every play on my DVR'd games.  I'd give the guy a solid 6-7 right now compared to any OL period, and a 10 considering he's a rookie.  The guy doesn't get moved in pass protection.  I thought his balance was going to be a problem because it looks like he doesn't keep his hips low, but I don't recall a single time he actually lost his balance and fell.  He's quick and smart.  When he's double teaming a guy in pass protection, he's actually calm and smart enough to look around to see if he needs to help out on someone else.  Most guys just have their eyes focused on the guy they're blocking.  

 

As you can tell, I'm a big fan.  Can't wait to see him in a year or two.  I think pro-bowl for sure.

 He is getting his hands on his man and anchoring well as a pass blocker. Maybe even near an 8 level, considering his slower feet that is darn good.

 They do have our lineman helping each other at a VN level which is impressive considering the interior youth.

 I will be surprised if Jack adds more than a few lbs long term so he won`t ever be much of a man on man drive blocker.

  Winning teams do get extra exposure and a few guys ride that to Pro Bowls, maybe even Jack someday.

 I would expect that one or two Guards drafted after him will perform at a higher level based on his height/athleticism. Check back at the end of 2016 season.

Very good pick that filled a major need! Our offensive line is obviously doing something right so far!

 

 Actually our O-Line play was very mediocre Sunday and was graded so by PFF, and has been most every week so far.

 Without Peps Excellent scheme to protect them with 3 TE`s and the V VG pass blocking by our backs the Homers here would still be bashing Grigson and Pagano

 without Mercy. JMO of course.

You should look up the definition of the word "homer".

I would have thought the homers would be, by definition, the group least likely to bash Grigson or Pagano?  :scratch:

Someone who shows blind loyalty to a team, player or organization, typically ignoring shortcomings or faults they have.

 

 

You called people who criticize the HC and GM homers. Which makes 0% sense. 

 

You also claimed somebody who liked Gordy more than Butler a homer. Which, again, makes 0% sense.

      AR15 thru 2 games thus far:

      By DougDew · Posted

      I agree to  point, it depends upon what the demands are.  But Mannings should have the clout to influence, maybe not control, Arch's destiny (if he's going to be that good, we don't know that yet).  And in a way, I'm not sure the NFL FO would get in the way a lot as to not see one of its potential stars....in terms of play and name legacy...get ruined by a bad organization and out of the NFL in a short time.   I think the chances of your prognostication happening are decent.  It will be interesting.

      I think the  Peyton would not  want him going to Indy. You would have the never ending comparisons and I believe that was part of Eli not wanting to play for the Chargers. I could be wrong but I believe they wanted him in the NFC. The bigger point is also that if it came to be that  the Colts had the pick when Manning was available. That would also be an indication that the Colts would be a dumpster fire and they would probably want no part of it.  Based on wins, losses, lack of play off success, FO office drama. I bet the Colts has lost some of it's value. Sure it is still worth billions but no doubt the shine is no longer there

      No, and this is not news.  For a while, folks have been leaning on the Buckner trade as being a great (use of) pick.  But Buck was known as a very good NFL player already, which is not the same thing as using picks on college players you think should be good.  The college evaluation/valuation process has not been good.  That's pretty evident, IMO.

      How to fix the colts

      By Zoltan · Posted

      Easiest way to fix the Colts defense is to fire Gus Bradley. First it was Michael Lombardi (who I generally don't agree with) who said that Gus defense is simple and now even JJ Watt has said that he runs a defense that doesn't make adjustments for the opponent and defensives that that don't do that generally fail in the NFL. It's interesting to see two weeks in and more and more people are coming out and saying that " Bradley's system is ineffective."   It won't help us much this year but I do believe that Bradley's system is holding back the talent on the defense and him having favorites puts blinders on improving positions (Facyson).

      When  it is his draft year, he will most likely be the number 1 pick if he continues to excel. There is not doubt in my mind that if the team that is picking is a complete dumpster fire. The Mannings will pull another Eli. They will have a lot of control and the team that is drafting him will have to give into the Manning's recommendations. Thats the way it should be. I always said Bryce Young would be a bust due to his body makeup. That being said, he is getting no help in Carolina and it basically looks like his career is over after only 2 years. This will not happen to Manning. I bet if  Manning's draft year next  was in 2025 and Carolina had the pick.  The Mannings would probably have a list of demands before even entertaining the thought of Manning going there and that is the way it should be.
