That could be due to the quality of teams we played when he was hurt or maybe he had a down yr but he is still but better than his back up ?

You also need to look at his play when Jack was playing RT. He was even worst. The statistics you posted don't help his case at all.

how is being better at the run and pass blocking overall not helping his case

[B~Town]

stats never tell the whole story so many factors teams played who was QB of the team who was calling plays

Yeah barely helping the run game average 3.95 ypc and giving up 2 sacks a game is great...

[COLTS449]

He did have a down year, but I mean he wasn't terrible. I fully expect him to bounce back. He's not Joe Thomas or nothing, but he's still a top 10 LT. With the right moves in the draft we could finally have a really good offensive line. Castanzo bouncing back, Mewhort should be a stud now having 2 full years under his belt, Then between Good and Reitz our RT should be at least above average. Then maybe Thornton breaks out in the new ZBS and becomes a top tier guard? But we'll definitely draft a G and C in the draft, and like I said. With the right picks we could have something that seemed impossible the least few years......A good O-Line!!!!! My hope is this Thornton breaks out and becomes a beast in his 4th season similar to Jeff Allen..... Castanzo-Mewhort-Martin-Thornton-Good...........We have to draft a Guard early no matter what so if he doesn't break out....Castanzo-Mewhort-Martin-Whitehair-Good

Well since no1 has said it "we should draft his replacement in the first this year"

It's not absurd to draft a tackle even though you already have a good one.  Good ones are just too hard to get.

Castonzo was bad in the first half of the year, which is disappointing. He got better as the season went on. I'm definitely expecting him to be back to 2014 form in 2016, and I expect the new OC and the scheme changes to help.

[NewColtsFan]

 

Do you know who thought Castanzo had a bad year?      Anthony Castanzo.     He said so in the interviews he did with Colts.com

 

Probably his worst year as a pro.      How much was injuries and how much was something else,  I don't know.

 

All I know is Castanzo did not try to hide behind anything.     He said he thought he had a very poor first half of the season.

 

 

[csmopar]

I'm still not convinced that all the drama circling the coaching staff didn't affect the players. They say it didn't  but across the board, pretty much everyone had a down year. That's a sign of coaching. Not blaming Pagano per say but it's possible the players were distracted by the constant negative media questions and theories. Luck being hurt certainly didn't help matters.

What you expect him to throw his teammates under the bus? He took responsibility because he's the leader of that group.

 So let us talk about how lucky we are to have Reitz!
 And Castonzo embarrassed himself in the first half of the season, and He said so to the Press.

[Da_Buzzard]

Face it, everyone had a bad year, how we won 8 games was beyond me. I hope they are in better shape than last year. Most were tired after the first half, there hands on there hips,gasping for air.....

I did watch and yes there were times he was beat, but he makes the line better

Its also hard to to pay for good tackles. The contracts they get are more than decent.

Sorry,  no.     That's not what he was doing.

 

O-lineman don't throw teammates under the bus,   but they will say that the line isn't doing a very good job.

 

Castanzo didn't say that.      He said that HE was having a very poor season.    And it came around the same time that all of us here were saying the same thing and that his grades were showing he was having a poor year.

Maybe it was because of that great player development he was getting from Joe Philbin last season.

 

[Bluefire4]

He had a down year but he's obviously our beat offensive lineman. So it makes sense that we were worse as a whole without him.

Yeah that's true. Castonzo, Vontae, and Luck all had their worst years in 2015. The only star that was still good was Hilton, even though some people still refuse to give him credit.
