That was your worst fear?

 

 

Yes because the blocking was already bad to mediocre with him in there. Now with Reitz, Nixon or whomever I don't even want to say what that is going to look like.   Not to mention any chances of an improved running game.

This might actually improve our running game on the right side if Arkin is asked to play RT, He is mobile from what I saw of him in college...He don't have a start in the NFL yet but played in 1 game, Violent with his hands though inconsistent. Lookin forward to seeing what happens, I do wish Cherilus the best though, Hope he recovers well

I always thought that is where we drafted him to play eventually anyway. After all the stuff that has happened with the O Line and the unexplainable changes and all. I don't know anymore.

 

I said this in another post I am not sure who are starters are if everyone is healthy.

I can see now Mewhort at RT with Reitz and Shipley/Harrison as guards. Another possibility I see Castonzo, Reitz, Holmes, Louis, Mewhort.

 

 

Shipley injury looked pretty bad. So with both him and Thornton out it looks for sure (almost) like the "other possibility" you see.

Im not sure coaching staff does either actually, They know who they want no doubt but I don't think they know as of right now with the exception of Castonzo

I'd say there's zero chance this guy starts his first game in the NFL in a playoff game on an already struggling line. Mewhert did admirably at RT he'll likely stick there with whatever combo at guards.

I am skeptical about Thornton being healthy enough to be playing. Louis played a lot better against Titans according to the OL charting enthusiast so I can see why the coaches may want to keep him at RG for the sake of continuity. At the LG the player I trust the most is Reitz based on history of playing well next to Castonzo.

It seems like this might have been a good decision...about three or four games ago. Now we're stuck with an untested replacement. It would have been nice to have given him a few games to work out some kinks.

 

On the plus side, maybe this bodes well for Cherilus. Maybe he'll heal up over the offseason and return to form next year. That would be ideal.

We'll be fine since Reitz is back. Reitz is OK playing inside, he's just awful at T. As others have said Mewhort can keep playing at RT with Reitz at one of the G spots. Honestly our line may be better this way since Cherilus has been playing injured all season.

This was  expected. 

 

A player gets a groin injury, and a history of a balky knee, and who was reported to be struggling with "some things" during the season, smells like a chronic knee problem that's flaring up.  He may have been hiding how bad it was.

 

I now think there is a greater than 50% chance he's done with the Colts totally.

does anybody know how much money we owe cherilus and how many years are left on his contract and details about what it would cost to release him??? I feel he wont ever be the same with his knee

 

They are strapped with his big contract. He won't be cut.
