hes talking about reitz

Where did I see Reitz mentioned?  Reitz played the entire game at LT.  Reitz LT the whole game!!

 

Good only had trouble with the quicker 4-4 end.  He dominated the big players that lined up against him.

 

So yes, Good is a future RT!!!   Reitz plays well every position he plays!!  Why do we even bring up Reitz here?

Who really got hammered all day was Winston.  I do not think some of you watched the game.

I didn't say Winston didn't get hammered.  He was not the topic or even related to the topic being discussed which was our rookie from Mars Hill and the results of his play.  I do not think some of you read this topic.

Ulrick never took a regular season snap and Nixon was awful.

 

Yeah, i was more eluding to the fact that people have these fantasies that any of these late round/undrafted offensive lineman are going to be anything more than depth and/or PS players. 

 

And btw, I don't think Good played well at all. Especially in the run game.

Good is the future much in the same way Ulrick John and Xaiver Nixon were the future. 

 

I didn't see the game....

 

And you may be right....

 

But do you really want to proclaim that after one game?       One whole game?

 

And, if so,   why?      What did you see that says Good has no future...?

Because he's a 7th round pick from Mars Hill. As much as you all want to belive that doesn't make a difference, it does.

Could not agree more! Don`t think anyone thinks this guy is the next Jason Peters, but he could end up being a serviceable depth future RT in the not to distant future.

You know before he was at Mars Hill,  he was at North Carolina State.......

 

He's not without some level of ability.......     and big men often develop late......

 

I'm not making  a case for Good specifically,  only for big men in general.....

Dustin is just being grumpy.  It's a new thing to praise the Colts' O-line. Denzelle had 4 penalties: a hold when he was beaten (for the one time in the game), a horse collar tackle (he has to work on his tackling), and two false starts. He played like, well, a rookie. But he dominated his opponent most of the game.  That's Good.

What round and college you come from doesn't determine how well you do in the NFL.  There are many stories of undrafted guys or guys coming out of smaller colleges who have a lot of success in the league.  I'm not saying Good is a future Pro Bowl tackle, but to say he has no shot because he's a 7th rounder out of Mars Hill isn't a good argument, in my opinion.  I thought he had some good flashes today.  He took a few penalties, but rookie jitters and all that can be taken into consideration.  Again, not saying he's a future starter, but I'm not gonna bury the guy right away

I thought he did quite a nice job being tossed into the fire, it was not only his first start, it was his first active game. BUT... Hasselbeck got hammered all day long, 3 sacks and tons of hits and hurries.

Yeah he did a serviceable job. On the flip side, where the heck did the Colts pass rush come from???

A combined 8 sacks in today's game, ouch! I liked what I saw from the D, they generated a lot of pressure.

Good surprised me for the most part.  I was very frustrated with all of the penalties 4 of Colts 5, but then again from somebody who was taking his first NFL snaps as a 7TH ROUND PICK.  I am extremely happy with the performance (because it didn't cost a game, and it gave the man some valuable experience). 

 

As some mentioned he handled his opponent well, and that's what matters.  The false starts can be cleaned up with practice and experience.  The horse collar tackle, well he is a tackle, but that's not his job.  Although, it was on a big play.  Griffers had a great catch and then fumbled, however there was another penalty, which negated each other.  Then 1 holding penalty is understandable regardless of lack of experience.  Tackles get beat at times, nothing to be too upset about.  So overall, I am optimistic about the performance.

 

That being said, I wouldn't worry too much if he has to fill in more in the future.  Time and work ethic will tell if he could be anything more, but when Castonzo comes back and the solid play of Reitz, I don't think we need him to be great anytime soon.  2 or 3 years down the road if he's hard at work and developes well I wouldn't be surprised if he did turn out to be "Good" (pun intended)

 

One more pun I wanted to throw out there (hypothetical), if he was in that position last week, and Andrew was the QB there would've been a pass play with the recipient of Good, and the passer Luck ;)  You get my point here... The Good-Luck combination lol.  Just something I wouldn't mind seeing in the future for a trick play TD!!

 

Okay that was stupid.  I admit, but I have a colorful imagination, so deal with it.

    • Lol. Sure, I meant he ALWAYS makes those mistakes. I think you’re smart enough to know that I meant he’s made those mistakes enough that it’s kind of alarming to me. If you’re not alarmed, cool. 
    • They do need an offensive mind, though. I said from the moment he was hired there that it was a move that was dead on arrival. Pairing a QB like Fields (and now Willams,) with a guy like Flus wasn’t productive for either side. Both of those QBs would benefit far more from having an offensive guy at the helm than a defensive one. A defensive coach needs to have a strong offensive staff in place to help those young QBs and Flus did not.    Fields is the perfect case in point: he landed in Pittsburgh with a defensive minded head coach who had a strong enough offensive support system to benefit him, and his career is starting to turn around for it.    Think of our own history, did the pairing of Andrew Luck with a defensive guy like Pagano do him any favors? Not really, and in the end it’s probably a big part of the reason that story turned out the way it did. 
    • Its the defense he plays in and they funnel the ball carrier to Franklin. Leonard had tons of tackles and I wouldn't make to much of it when grading Franklin. Cross, I believe leads the league in tackles. Are you saying he is the best safety in the league? Franklin is a rugged and tough line backer but poor in coverage.
    • I hear this but to my dying day I will maintain Payton far exceeded Smiths talent, and if Smith had to be on the garbage teams Payton was on for 80% of his career, he would be ranked in the 20s or 30s all time.  If Payton had Erik Williams, Larry Allen and Nate Newton blowing up d-linemen for him, he would have set the record impossibly high.    And once we add receiving and blocking ability the difference is even more stark.    Thanks, grew up watching WP… old man rant *off*
    • He is throwing some bad picks and all rookie qbs do, so I am not going to be that hard on him for those mistakes. The one thing that still impresses me is that he doesnt look lost out there. He is still making good reads but he just needs to calm down and make those simple throws. I truly believe that if he made those throws that 90% of qbs make. We would be saying he is having a pretty good year. If Richardson fails, I believe it wont be because of his ability to process. It will because after say three seasons or so, he is unable still to hit the broad side of a barn!!
