I'm sure if he is a better RT than LT, that's where he would have played......well unless our coaches last season really were so bad to have missed such an obvious skill-set....

The other aspect is that Castanzo was drafted with Peyton in mind as QB, not Painter :). So, Luck, like Peyton, could make the O-line look better than they are with his movement inside the pocket/outside the pocket. Charlie Johnson was effective but by no means an outstanding LT and I do think the ceiling with Castanzo is high enough to warrant him getting year 2 under his belt as LT at least.

I like the trend though - Glenn first in 1997, Peyton next in 1998. Hopefully Castanzo in 2011 and Luck in 2012 keeps that winning tradition going. :)

Back but not with the Colts. READ what I wrote!

Its debatable that he offered a discount to anyone, so yeah that report was just a rumor.

As far as Saturdays interview goes, nothing indicated he wont be back with the colts, Saturday just said he will be back, he just didn't mention a team. Literally all you can take from Saturday is Manning will be back in 2012.

That's right even Jeff Saturday has come out and said it.

That's what I heard....

Jeff S. in no way said that Peyton manning would play for the Colts in 2012.

he said..without question..he would play...

I think Jim would have been way better than he was if he would have had a front line that could have kept him upright and given him a little time to throw instead of having to scramble all over the field on every play. I honestly think that we shortened his playing career by at least a couple of years because of all the punishment he took.

How Ironic. PM has had three (or 4) neck surgeries because we didn't draft him an adequet front line....and now here we are.

another thing that caught my attention..w.as that mayock said that he saw Castonzo more of a RT and Ijalana more of a Lt...

Saturday agreed. he said castonzo is a little more stiff, like a RT and that Ijalana can sometimes be moved to this awkward positions but that he does something athletic to regain his ground and not lose. he agreed that that might be a consideration for next year... ijalana at LT and castonzo at RT.

Intrusting I was kind thinking the same thing! :dunno:

    • I say we give Mallory the keys and dont look back…. Good or bad 
    • I’m not saying anyone is infallible.  Far from it.   But as I shared with another poster tonight, I never think I’m smarter than a GM, or HC or coordinator or even a position coach.  Even ones I don’t like.      If you want to believe the word of someone on a podcast, go right ahead.   I think it’s a bad, bad look.   But hey, you’re certainly not the only one here who does that.    But certainly not me.    Good luck with that.  
    • That was great throw. It came in clean and Mitchell had both hands on it before the db knocked it out. This is the nfl, you have to SECURE, CATCH, and HOLD ONTO THAT BALL. You have to fight for every ball in the nfl(unless you are playing the Colts and you get to waltz through the secondary in front of lb's and db's for uncontested 15 yard gains). The one game Pittman missed Mitchell had 7 catches so he just needs to be more consistent. I still think he is a rare talent. But, remember also, we need Richardson to improve also and get our offensive line intact. 6-7 is pretty good, all things considered(including Bradley being the dc).
    • Because I have eyes and I can see what our defense is doing, I can see what instructions he's giving, where they are lined up, how many are rushing, how many are deep, etc. and I can make an informed deduction about what's happening. And in this case Tice is absolutely correct and what he saw was what I saw too and it looked exactly like what he describes - Gus Bradley had no idea they were trying to get into long FG range. He was only thinking about the Hail Mary.    I have no idea why you always give the benefit of the doubt to everybody in this organization despite what you can actually see with your own two eyes.   Of course Steichen won't say anything mid-season about his DC. Hell, even if he fires him after the season he still won't say anything overly negative, because this is the business and it's bad for business to burn bridges and flame people with reputation and long time careers in the league.   You can still watch what happens and make a conclusion for yourself. I promise you, the world won't end if you don't take the word of the GM, HC or the DC as gospel. As amazing as you think they are, they are not the chosen, infallible ones.
