Lance Louis and Todd Herremans benched.

[Dustin]

Mewhort to LG, Thornton to RG, Reitz to RT via Stephen Holder. 

 

Big OL shakeup in Indy. RT @HolderStephen: Right now, Mewhort to LG, Thornton to RG and Reitz to RT. If that's the lineup, wow.

[IndyD4U]

Wow

[PrincetonTiger]

Wow

[SteelCityColt]

Wow indeed..

[Gavin]

Still don't have it right but at least Reitz cracked the starting 5

[Dustin]

If this was the lineup week two we'd be 1-1 

[Dustin]

Still don't have it right

 

Reitz should be at LG, and Mewhort at RT. 

[RockThatBlue]

Why Reitz at tackle? Besides the playoffs last year he's usually been pretty bad at tackle.

[B~Town]

Wonder if this is a Grigs or Pagano move ... Pagano needs to tell Grigs to get bent and quit forcing his bad pick ups on the field ...

[Gavin]

Reitz should be at LG, and Mewhort at RT. 

Exactly

[IndyD4U]

Idk, but it's evident someone got their way this week

[Bravo]

Should have started Mewhort at LG in the first place!!!!!

Jeeeshhh.... Terrible coaching.

I thought Herremans was alright..

[Dark Superman]

Has Herreman's been that bad? I thought Mewhort looked solid at RT.. why change his position?

 

If this blows up in our face.. someone needs to be fired. Luck won't live to be 30.

[Derakynn]

Yo nice. Really hope this works out. 

[IndyD4U]

Should have started Mewhort at LG in the first place!!!!!

Jeeeshhh.... Terrible coaching.

I thought Herremans was alright..

That's the thing, we don't know if it is coaching. Could be Grigs?

[Dark Superman]

Kind of wish we took a shot at Jake Long for the RT spot.

[CR91]

so close to what I suggested

[Derakynn]

Should have started Mewhort at LG in the first place!!!!!

Jeeeshhh.... Terrible coaching.

I thought Herremans was alright..

Not everyone loves PFF, but he literally had a -10 grade from the Jets game. 

Edit: I lied. It was -10.9. 

[COLTS449]

Reitz should be at LG, and Mewhort at RT. 

 

Agree 100%.

[RealityIsLuck]

I'm fine with benching players who are preforming poorly, but I don't like it when you take it to the point where you switch around your young impact lineman's position. Keep Mewhort at either OT or OG don't move him around constantly. It'll make it much easier for him. 

[Ja'Crispy]

We'll see if it works, but I'm glad they recognized something needs to be done. Hopefully Thornton plays well, but I'm a little surprised Herremans is benched.

[Gavin]

This is the 5 they need to stick with the rest of the year...Except Reitz at LG, No more Lance, Been their, Don't need to go their again. If Thornton stinks then so be it, Let him learn. He has the physical talent to dominate. If he gets in trouble again then put Herremans in if you have to....No more Louis

 

Should be:

 

LT-Castonzo

LG-Reitz

C-Holmes

RG-Thornton(Though Herremans would be on standby)

RT-Mewhort

[Patagonia Chris]

So the Herremans signing was probably a bad move, right?

[Dark Superman]

I don't understand why we would move Mewhort? He's looked solid..

 

Why is Louis still here? He and Thornton have been disappointing ever since they came here.

 

Reitz is a much better guard than tackle.. but who am I?

[COLTS449]

Here's what I was hoping for and what I think it should be.

 

Castanzo-Reitz-Holmes-Thornton-Mewhort

 

I think Reitz is best suited at guard. He never was that good at RT until the playoffs last year. He's best position is guard! And especially if he could play next to Castanzo.

 

Also btw. Wonder how Donald Thomas is feeling these days? Could be brought back for vet minimum you know.

[COLTS449]

Instead of getting Herremans we could have traded a 5th to the Saints and gotten Ben Grubbs. Yes he's old but he'd be way better than Herremans. And Herremans is older I think. But what else do you expect from Grigson. He'd rather have mediocre players than good players.

[John Waylon]

 

Please, please, PLEASE tell me this is a bad dream. 

 

All that hooha about consistency and all that awful whatnot, and now we do this? Louis deserved to get benched. No doubt. Herrimans I have no qualms about either. But why this ridiculous shuffle?

[needanoline63]

Good, I'm glad they benched those bums. The line we have now should/could be better then what we had first two games

[bababooey]

Has Herreman's been that bad? I thought Mewhort looked solid at RT.. why change his position?

Herremans looked pretty bad blocking with his butt last week. Mewhort is a guard not a tackle. Our incompetent GM forced us to move him to RT, and he hasn't been solid there.

[MTC]

Reitz and Mewhort should switch. Still pleased with moves.

[needanoline63]

Here's what I was hoping for and what I think it should be.

Castanzo-Reitz-Holmes-Thornton-Mewhort

I think Reitz is best suited at guard. He never was that good at RT until the playoffs last year. He's best position is guard! And especially if he could play next to Castanzo.

Also btw. Wonder how Donald Thomas is feeling these days? Could be brought back for vet minimum you know.

If we lose this time because of shaky offensive line, I see us going to free agency or trading

[Patrick Miller]

I like they moves. Something needed to be done.

[Dustin]

So the Herremans signing was probably a bad move, right?

 

Grigson'd

[B~Town]

Should have started Mewhort at LG in the first place!!!!!

Jeeeshhh.... Terrible coaching.

I thought Herremans was alright..

Herremans hasn't been talked about much but IMO has been terrible a huge part of why out line has looked so bad .

[TKnight24]

Sub out Thornton for Lewis and that’s the same OL that started in the playoffs. Luck was sacked just once in 120 pass attempts last playoffs

[TKnight24]

To update everyone: Looks like the @Colts OL will be Castonzo, Mewhort, Holmes, Thornton and Reitz from left to right. 3 changes up front

[Aaron23]

Makes no sense why they would move Mewhort from RT. Jeez, let the guy get good at 1 position.

[CanuckColt]

This is better, but they should leave Mewhort at RT.

We still have one weak link in the middle with Holmes...and 'weak' is an appropriate term...strength-wise.

[Bravo]

Not everyone loves PFF, but he literally had a -10 grade from the Jets game.

Edit: I lied. It was -10.9.

Yikes... Didn't he have an alright first game for PFF though? Louis probably had 2 terrible grades.

[bluephantom87]

Mehh... Glad they're TRYING something at least. Maybe some of those holding flags will disappear too. The staff and team SHOULD look better today playing the lowly but slightly improved Titans.
