six

[OLD FAN MAN]

I ask all of you o-line gurus, should we play 6 on the o-line against the Texans? we have to stop their rush. if not 6 then how do we protect the qb?

We shut JJ Watt down last time. Clowney is a bust and Wilfork isn't playing up to expectations

[ColtsFanMikeC]

Looks like Castonzo will be back.  Him plus Doyle/Allen can slow Watt down (I don't think you can 'shut Watt down', just hope to slow him down) if he's coming from the blindside.  We'll need a TE plus RB to help out if he is coming after our RT.

 

Whoever is at QB is also going to have to get the ball out quick.

We need to play a TE on the strong side just like we did in the last game.

AC/Mewhort/Harrison/Thornton/Reitz

TE-Allen/Doyle

1) Great thread title.

 

2) Why stop at 6 linemen? Why not 8 or 9?

asides from his playing time due to injuries Clowney has been creating havoc the past few week in both the run and pass game,had 2 sacks the other night jj injured or not is going to draw the double team and that is going to leave someone open regardless.

10 linemen with either Dorsett or Whalen at Qb.  Bring back the flying wedge!

Haven't been afraid of Clowney ever, won't be next Sunday but we will see!

[Austin Leonard]

As long as a.c is back and can scheme against their line like they did last time than should be in ok shape in the passing game,but their defense has came around a lot since the last meeting as our boys have faltered.

we dont even know who is playing QB, i want to know that before i even think about the starting OLine

"Clowney is a bust . . .", you might as well have said "I don't know what I'm talking about."

Opinions here are obviously not wanted, and sorry but 1 good game out of the 12-13 or so he's played in isn't exciting

Your opinion is uninformed. He's played very well all year, not in just one game.

Clowney sacked Brady twice and I would hazard a guess NE's o-line is just a bit better than ours (sarcasm font). Hasselbeck will probably explode if he gets hit to many more times.

 I said on another post, he will last a half (maybe) and then its Whitehurst time.  We will also need a clipboard Moses to part the red sea and not get our backup QB's killed.

he belongs in the nfl, he just wasnt worth the #1 pick

 

probably a mid first rounder

[lollygagger8]

It's not like we use our TE's for catching passes, so have them block.

I can understand how someone would say he is a bust.  With the hype he got he was almost deemed the next LT.  In that respect I can say he is most definitely a bust. In the real world?  Well he's slightly better than just a guy.  He has speed, but has no pursuit ability.  He also has some trouble shedding but he is getting better at it.  If he commits and improves he really could be something special.

He's significantly better than "just a guy" and is not a bust in any sense. He was injured throughout his first season and now, in his first season playing, he is already showing up a ton. He's going to be great and he's already very, very good.

Very dominant!  Although announcers did mention that his speed will never be what it use to be with the knee injury, but he is trying to transition into more of a power guy.  He is sure big enough for it.  He is definitely an impact player, but will never reach full potential due to that injury.  However, he is looking as good as ever (in the NFL), because he has been healthy recently and able to practice consistently.
