Not sure how I feel about Clark at LT (I assume he would fill in). On one hand, I want to see how he will perform. The other, afraid for our quarterbacks. 

 

What did Brissett do to deserve this? 

Clark scares me to death.  I would give the new guy ,Burwell , a chance before Clark.  What a mess.

How many times could you slam into a 300lb super althete before it took a toll on your body?

if he were a 300 lb super athlete, like you are implying Castanzo is?  Roughly the same amount of times you could slam into someone with comparable size and athletic ability to yourself.

Yeah, it's almost like physics is a harsh mistress.  As if football players getting injured has nothing to do with this silly idea that "NFL players are fragile these days!"

 

Almost like the human body wasn't meant to slam repeatedly at full speed into other enourmous human bodies over and over and over again.

 

This is a Skip Bayless level hot take and I'm frankly sick of it.

FALSE ALARM!!!

 

Pagano just said the media has overblown it. 

 

Just passing along what I heard Pagano say in his press conference a few minutes ago. 

 

Pagano said AC was questionable for Sunday. 

 

Simon, Matt Jones, and Quincy are all ruled out.

This may actually give us a first hand look if LeRaven Clark can hold the fort down at LT for an entire game, based on his current form, because that seemed like his natural position. Joe Haeg was LT too for Carson Wentz in college but I think Clark has more bulk to handle bull rushes.

I would rather see this during the pre-season when a game and QB's life is not on the line.  Clark is hard to watch at RT and I do not see any changes in his "natural position" of LT.  His technique from Texas Tech is just that, no technique, and no "natural position".

So who is filling in there now?

I thought he was banged up, that is why I was suggesting alternatives. If he can't go, who will fill in was my question.

If he can't go then it will more than likely be him or Good, if he is playing.  I was not saying he would not fill in, I was just please lord NO.

My thought too.  Maybe Clark is our future LT, so AC could be our future RT.  It would conserve draft choices if it could work out that way, so let's give it a try.

Y'know, I'm not really sure you got my point.   I agree, no human being is made to take repeated collisions with the level of violence that modern NFL players are subjected to.  Now, since you are so fond of physics, do the laws of such dictate a difference in ability to absorb such insane levels of abuse between say, yourself, and Ndamakong Suh, for example?  Sure.  Mr. Suh's body will hold up much better than yours, or mine, to the rigors of an NFL season.  The laws of physics dictate such.  So, sorry if I pee'd in your cornflakes today, but you can take your "Skip Bayless level hot-takes" comment and do whatever you would like with it.

This is a joke right?  They tried him at RT,RG and he is pretty much worthless.  Now put him on our QB's blind side?   No thank you.  He couldn't nail down the starting RT job in the preseason.  He lost it to Good who has much more upside than Clark.  Vuj is better than he is.  Unfortunately we are stuck with him for the rest of the year.  He would need to do a complete 180 and I don't see it coming.  After Ballard goes all out to fix the OL this offseason I don't see him making the team.

Better to see what he can do at LT when Brissett is playing than to see what a college rookie can do at LT when Luck is playing.  No joke.

There seems to be something wrong with the modern day athletes. Twenty plus years ago these players in all sports were not getting so many acl injuries, pulled hamstrings, shoulder injuries and the like. I don't know if it's the equipment, diet, weight training or what. I do know that these injuries have become so common in all sports.

      What team will have the most fans this Sunday ?

      When did you last attend a game?   Polian never tried to do anything with second hand ticket sales

      Pretty sure Leonard was an all pro 4 times.  Defense rookie of year..  no one cares about your averages.   You are wrong most of the time.   I wish I could give you an "aggressive laugh emoji"

      I don't really care where a player is picked, because if he's starting he's likely been deemed to be the best we have. That in itself CAN of course be pretty unfortunate and that's where it starts to be a Ballard problem.   To the OP: Cross, Speed and Franklin have all been questioned because of their questionable coverage abilities - especially Speed and Franklin. What gets brought up in the OP completely misses the point. Speed and Franklin have also been called out because too many of their tackles seem be be made 5+ yards downfield. I don't see anything disproving that here either.

      Its come to my attention that some members just can't take anybody second-guessing the Colts.   I probably fit in the nonsupport of Ballard group, but I've never targeted the players mentioned because I thought they were decent picks at the spot they were taken.  If you average out the draft spot of those players, I'd say they average to about pick 90...mid to late 3rd round.   My target was the lack of attention in picking impact players with first round picks, identifying them in college.  One All Pro in 8 drafts, plus capital from trade downs.  And that one All Pro is/was a G.  Doesn't seem like our recent pick #4 is headed there either, but its very early.

      No one really said anything about Rainman. People were screaming for him to start over Pryor after week 2.   Jones had 1 good game with 2 INTs but he’s still a liability in man, and tends to always give up 1-2 big catches a game and a penalty. He’s fine as a number 3 corner.   Lot of people also wanted Cross, just at SS instead of FS which is why he has had success. I’ve always thought he was better than Thomas.   Fries has been a surprise and this is easily the best we’ve seen from Pierce. Ryan and Minshew definitely limited him.
