His work as a coordinator is impressive. I think he's a good coach, just did a bad job as a head coach.

I agree with you.  I just left out the coordinator stuff because we didn't hire him for that however, if Chud does a good job and another team were to hire him I think Philbin would be able to replace him.  However, hopefully that doesn't happen (well other than the Chud doing a good job part)

Well they didn't hire him as a head coach or even a coordinator.  They hired him to coach the o-line and his history as just an o-line coach is impressive.   

 

Yes sir, GC8818. Right to the point. You know, a couple of days ago I was speaking in a conference call with many of contacts I have throughout other NFL cities, especially the AFC. The consensus after speaking to them was "a serious threat to the NFL powerhouses" seems to have been established in Indianapolis with the sweeping changes at the coaching positions. Now, with the addition of Philbin as OL chief it confirms that assumption IMO.

 

I've posted this because it certainly directs the arrowed explanation of seriousness. Things are about to change Colts fans. On a large scale. The Achilles heel for Indy has always been laid at the feet of defense & the offensive line for quite a long time. These changes recently have reached the attention of many, many NFL fans on a "concerned" level of fright. 

 

We just may have launched the rocket in the correct direction. Let's see how fast, accurate, and deadly these moves may prove to be.

I've been hearing this for awhile now.  

I'll believe it when I see it.  

I DO believe this is a step in the right? direction. At least we're trying.  

A for effort.

I haven't. You're exactly correct. We'll believe it when we see it. And yes, it's a GREAT step in the right direction. We are trying. The defense IS going to change. The OL will be evaluated on a much critical aspect than years past. All for the better. I'd bet on it. Let's see how things go. All I see now is positives coming in every direction. That's a great thing. A necessary thing. It's been a long time since I've seen such shake ability in this organization at one time.

Tannehill has probably been hit more than Luck.  Great hire.  

 

He was the HC, not the OL coach in Miami. I live in Nashville, TN and when Mike Munchak was the HC of the Titans their OL was terrible, but then he goes to Pittsburgh and is the OL coach and their OL is much better.

I hate this.  

I don't like him as a coach at all in the NFL.  

  

The Dolphins are talented and that team is a total mess.

 

Philbin was not a good head coach.    No disputing that.

 

But he's got an excellent reputation as both an OC and as an OL coach.

 

Good hire.

Brian Billick and Tony Dungy are just 2 examples of Head coaches whose teams were better on the side of the ball that they knew nothing about.  Both won Super Bowls.   My point is that the HC is not the one coaching these guys up everyday, their assistants are and I am betting they wouldn't have the time to do both anyway.

Hmm is that the oline coach decision or the Oc 

 

The OC Chudzinski uses the zone blocking scheme.  Also mainly what Philbin has coached. Connecting dots.  I'm sure we'll still use Man blocking, but I figure we'll be much more zone.

So when Luck gets hit it's Grigsons fault. But when Tannehill gets hit it's Phibin's fault. Makes sense. Funny how you twist things around just to be argumentative and negative.

    • The Colts part in the podcast is from 9:50 til about 13:40, so it is a short listen. He said LT is a big question. Struggled at that position since Castanzo left. Raimann has not really panned out. Need the position to be solidified. Like the Oline man from Pitt and there is a belief that he can play LT. It could mean nothing but teams do draft for next years free agent market. I believe Raimann is up for a contract and could give the Colts some flexibility if Raimann wants huge money and/or if they don't really think he is he answer moving forward and Conclaves shows something. Let be honest,  Cosell could be totally opposite of what the Colts think of Raimann as a LT.  
    • Agree in that he may have used the incorrect words in trying to get his point across.   I would have to listen to it again but I believe he did say that the Colts have basically not found their starting LT.
    • Not unless they feel that one of the Oline men they drafted could develop into a LT. They used a 3rd a 4th on Oline this year and that is what they used on Raimann when they drafted. I am not saying Raimann is trash. Like I said, a lot of people on this forum and the media are high on him and Cosell is not.  He could be some where in the middle in how the Colts feel about them. If that is true, then  I would tend to believe that he has not cemented himself as the franchise LT moving forward.
    • If he said something like 'Raimann isn't a franchise LT, but he's serviceable,' I probably wouldn't bat an eye. If he said 'they could probably improve at LT because I'm not sure Raimann will hold up,' my ears would perk up a little, but that's still a defensible opinion. Saying he has not panned out is a different story. I interpret that as meaning he thinks Raimann has played poorly, which is objectively not true.   Like you said, we can disagree on a draft prospect, and only time will tell. If someone has doubts about how someone on the team will perform in the future, that's fair. But saying Raimann has not panned out is based on what we've already seen, and in this case, I think Cosell is just wrong.    Maybe I'm taking his comment too literally. I listened to the interview, it was just one line in a broader discussion, and maybe if he was going to clarify he'd state his position differently. 
    • We would have to pick pretty high to move on from Rainmann. That would mean a bad season and that isn’t happening.  I doubt they would pay a LT in FA. That’s too much money.
