Does George Costanza err Anthony Castonzo need to gain more weight?

He's listed at 6'7'' and 311, and I would have never imagined a 300 pound person looking so skinny. In the NE game at LOS last year, I thought he was Coby Fleener during the TD catch.

 

Perhaps play at the 320-325 weight range, may help him as a run blocker as well as eat up bull rushes more?

No.     No need for more weight.

 

The key on the left side offensively is speed and quickness.      Remember, the LT is going against the best and speediest pass rusher on the defense.

 

Size -- body mass -- is less important on the left side.      That's why typically most right tackles are heavier than left tackles are.      Yes,  there are exceptions to the rule,  but for the vast majority of teams,   that's the way they build lines.....

 He is slow enough already.

if he gains weight speed rushers beat him a lot more than they do now. he is just average in ability, and should not have got a huge contract, another grigs wiff. our whole o-line is below average, grigs is not a good judge of o-line talent

For being an O-lineman himself, you'd think he'd have his $ h i t together from day 1.

I'm really hoping Anthony gets things together.  He's my one of my favorite Colts and I praised the new contract immensely.  But, 74 is having his worst season as a pro to someone (me) that studies oline play.  I have full faith in him but, MAN, he needs a string of 3-4 good games with no penalties (and yeah some have been sketchy calls) and sacks.

    • Atlanta is very beat up, and missing several of their stars. With Chris Sale not even on the Wild Card roster, Manager Brian Snitker was forced to trot out a guy who was making only his 2nd MLB start he lasted 1 & 1/3rd, giving up 4 hits & 3 runs, to include a homerun. Padres starter Michael King, a converted relief pitcher who was also making his 1st postseason start, was masterful. He pitched 7 shutout innings, scattering 5 hits but not walking a batter, while striking out 12, one shy of his career high for a game. Oddly enough, King's only other postseason appearance was for the Yankees during the shortened Covid season, in San Diego wirth cardboard cutouts in the stands. The atmosphere at Petco Park was raucous, and the team fed off it. Two of the biggest pieces that the Padres acquired from the Yankees in the Juan Soto trade, King & catcher Kyle Higashioka came up big today, King with his performance on the mound and Higashioka accounted for half of the the Padres runs with a solo homerun and a sacrifice fly.
    • Actually you went 10-6, your wins were: Cowboys Vikings  Bengals Texans  Colts 49ers  Commanders  Chiefs  Raiders Lions   That would put you 10-6 and 34-30 overall.
    • Check the tape….    (Jim Irsay?!?).  Huh?   Why not Chris Ballard?   Or Shane Steichen?    Why Irsay?      
    • We haven't enough information to say one way or another if it's a problem. 
    • Once he gets used to the speed of the NFL, he will be fine.  I was being a little sarcastic with my comment.  There were a few who said he would the 3rd WR and take APs spot right away.  AP isn't going anywhere anytime soon IMO.
