I'm officially starting a movement

Our offensive line decisions have been questionable from a fan standpoint all year!!!! I don't think they really care though!

We need a new offensive line coach! There's no doubt in my mind. The rookies from last year have not progressed as they should have and our schemes are dreadful at points.

I just hope luck isnt killed tomorrow. I have no doubt watt is gonna have a field day

I said this exact same thing to Susie earlier today.  It was painful watching him get knocked around last week.  I sure hope things are better tomorrow.

 

Nothing against Watt.  I like him, and think he's a great player and even better person...  but I hope the O-line does a better job of protecting Andrew tomorrow.

Given that everyone seems to question every single move chuck and pags do, even when we win anyway, this thread is no big surprise.

No doubt there have been some....let's go with interesting opinions on here about the coaching staff, but in this instance how could you not question?  The coaching staff has a history of questionable decisions when it comes to who to start on the offensive line.  You can certainly argue that overall the coaching staff has been effective but the fact that the offensive line has been a massive problem since Luck and the coaching staff arrived isn't debatable. 

 

Starting Harrison over Shipley isn't a decision I personally agree with, but I can understand going with the guy that has more upside.  Refusing to play Holmes, a guy they thought enough of to draft and give a roster spot to, even when he's played well on the rare occasion the coaching staff has been forced to give him a chance is just mind boggling to me.  The lack of production on the offensive line in general makes me want a new offensive line coach next year.  Now I also want whoever is making those personnel decisions gone.

Well the bright side is that I have the Texans defense in a semifinal fantasy matchup.

I have Luck in a semi-final I hope he doesnt get killed ( I jest ).  We have to do something to protect Luck he cant last with the hits he keeps taking, I know he is big and tough and plays that way but I hope we get our O-Line straightened out because he deserves better and so do you RB's.

I have Luck as well. A big part of the reason I'm in the semi's!

Maybe if Luck does get hurt due to pi$$ poor O-line play it will wake the coaches up to actually do what they said they will do and let the best 5 guys play... they clearly play favorites without watching the game tape.  That is the only reason why they would have Louis in there.  He is probably the worst lineman we have... and that is saying something.

The #PLAYKHALEDHOLMES MOVEMENT HAS JUST STARTED. Lance Louis over freaking AQ AND Khaled Holmes. Offensive line coach needs to be drug tested. Khaled Holmes will only get better if he plays more, I know you all saw the potential against the browns

Good luck with your movement. I am sure you will have legions join the cause.

I think this ploy is brilliant! Our head coach KNOWS that whoever starts will be injured before the end of the first quarter. By starting Louis, he allows him to take the injury; so Holmes can play the remaining 3+ quarters!

wow... I never thought of it like that... This is brilliant.

Wanted to add Ben Gundy at Colts Academy has a nice write up on Harrison and Lewis against the Texans in week 6 (and OL charting for every other week).

Harrison played really well. Louis passed blocked really well but was terrible in the run game. I'm assuming the staff decided on this lineup for those reasons.

It's funny you say that

Let's be honest...... In most cases, over the years...... The fans have been WRONG

The AMAZING player from Watsamatta University........ That we all love...... doesn't pan out

BUT IN THE CASE of the OL...... This fan base has been RIGHT!

Satelle........ This board was calling for his head ....... The fans were RIGHT.........

McGlynn........ Played better than Satelle at Center....... This fans called for him to be gone.........the fans were RIGHT

In these cases.... The Colts took forever to get to the fact that these guys were bad

Lance Louis has been a joke with the opportunities he has been given...... He didn't play as well as Holmes did

I love my Colts, but this OL thing is going to get our Star QB killed

    • Ballard does have thick skin.  You just choose to not to see it that way.      Ballard is the face and voice of the franchise.  Irsay’s health does not make him an effective public face of the franchise.  Frank was OK, Steichen less so.   So Ballard does the lion share of teams PR.    And Ballard has always said he’d rather the fans be angry than be apathetic.  Shows they care.  Of course, you know this but choose not to acknowledge it because it undercuts your distorted view of CB.   I don’t know what CBs relationship is with Kevin Bowen who I like.   So let’s say it’s complicated.   But on balance I think Ballard has a good relationship with the local media.  I’d be surprised if he didn’t.  He is loved by national media.  He’s got a personality and a sense of humor.  I’m sorry you don’t care for it.    Of course you have yet to acknowledge that you and Moose literally said that Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy.   For a man in your profession, THAT is a whopper.  Why you thought that is a mystery?   By the way, hope you notice that at least twice I’ve now said you’re smarter than you show.  There’s a compliment in there somewhere if you let yourself see it.    But I think you’ve painted yourself into a corner.  You come across as someone who’d rather be right about Ballard being bad even if it means the Colts do poorly than be wrong and have the Colts do well.    The reason Irsay hasn’t fired Ballard for the teams record is because Irsay approved of what CB was doing in real time.   Believe what you want but Irsay has done the GM job himself so he knows how it goes.  And he has chosen to keep Ballard.  Unless you don’t like Irsay too, you might want to consider that.  Life is more fun being optimistic than negative.     Sorry this went so long.  
    • I think it’s backwards.  MPJ is definitely Reggie based on skill set and tendencies.  AD can become Marvin with his explosiveness.   Raimann - I think he’ll be Castonzo.  Ol reliable, underappreciated, majority won’t realize how good he was until he’s gone.   AD - if he becomes what we think he can, Ocho Cinco.  Cocky, competitive, but will perform his butt off and will dance every chance he gets lol   Jelani Woods - Jimmy Graham, fast for his size, walking mismatch.
    • speaking of which, I’m about to win some good money.  I bet that brown would be FMVP, the Celtics would win the series, and it last at least 4 games.  
    • more reason to believe that after the top 3 wide receivers, Latu was their guy.  To not accept an offer to move back ONLY 4 spots and gain a top 100 pick is hard to do.  Bet if the rams through in a second instead of a third we might’ve took it.   think about it, if you move back 4 spots you’d still have a shot at one of the two top corners or even Dallas turner.  And we said no thanks, we want Latu.
