Colts reportedly could be all in on D.J. Fluker

[coltsfansince65]

I'd be ok on a team friendly deal. Weren't we "all in" for him back in the 2013 draft as well?

Fluker can't play RT..,   He doesn't have the feet...   the success he's had has been at guard...   I'd love to have him anyway..

 

(Now watch us sign him to play tackle!)

Oh he's got the feet......................size 22.....

All we do are team friendly deals.

Fluker at RG and Good at RT would be quite the poundage.

LOL. Yeah. I got tired of getting my hopes up and being let down. So kinda chilled out this year. Same expectations. Same letdown. Just didn't go nuts on the forum .... But no. If we sign 2-3 good players I will be here acting like a 12 year old. LOL.

[Fisticuffs111]

Sounds like a good run blocker but bad pass blocker.

So?

 

You can't find good players on a bad team?

 

 

How many years now have we gone after depth or just average guys on the OL and it hasn’t worked out? At some point we gotta pony up for quality OL players. 

[austriancolt]

If they sign Fluker it's a sign the Colts still don't take the Offensive Line problems serious enough it's the same move Grigson would have made. Sorry, but Fluker isn't good. There is a reason the Giants let him go and having OL issues themself.

Watch some Giants games. The whole Giants Line is a mess like ours. Do you think if he was that good they would led him go?

[TheRustonRifle#7]

Curious to see the numbers bandied about... 

[UKColt13]

Wouldn’t be bad. An upgrade at RT or RG over what we already have I’d say. I could get behind it as long as it’s not too big of a contract. He’s already 27.

There aren't too many good OLs in the NFL these days.

Shuffle the deck, and hope for a better hand.

The Giants have salary cap issues...  they're looking to let go of Pugh and Richman, their center.

 

The biggest problems on the Giants line has been the tackles.   There can still be decent players on a bad line..

 

[gnet550]

What I read said the Colts among other teams were all in as suitors for him...not the colts were all in to sign him...a little misleading title

"In-touch" is a far cry from "all-in."  But we will see if they bring him in.

Fluker has potential still, would be a decent signing, he can run block good..

I am intrigued by Pugh. Seems like a gamble that Ballard would take, given his versatility and pedigree.

Lol. It was funny though.  Iyou weren't a jerk about it or nothing, so for me at least, its the kind of gabbing and goofing friends do. Im just glad I was around to see the #allinyall born. LOL.

PFF and BR guys graded him as #56 and #57 guard in the NFL. Whole NFL didn't think much of him last year in FA when he signed 1yr, 3M deal.

Every team runs a different offense...   not every offense asks its players to do the same thing.  

 

Reich and the OC were with Fluker in SD. If they are ok with him and so is Ballard, then they get the benefit of the doubt from me.

[IinD]

A buddy of mine (Chargers fan) said he was glad when he was off the team.

 

Said he's a slow plodder.

 

I'm not a fan of his in general. Looks like one of those slow giant goons.

[HectorRoberts]

With a name like that his number better be 69

[John Hammonds]

I wouldn't rely on Fluker as a starter.  However, if I had real concern that Mewhort wasn't coming back, I'd want some quality depth at the position, and would sign him (if the price was right).  The guy can play at this level, but I don't think he's a quality starter.

I will admit about a week ago I had to check and make sure you were still around. Didnt see any hyped FA threads from you and got a little worried. As much as we razzed you about it last yr, it is better than all the negativity we are seeing right now. 

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Not sure but doesn't he SUCK?

I said earlier I misread the report and it said the list of teams were all in the mix for him. Sorry for the misreport

[Colts_Fan12]

Don't take much to get this fan base excited so that's nice I guess lol

[RealityIsLuck]

Possibly one of the worst headline you could hear, lol he's horrible. Huge bust and one of the worst OG's last season.

[richard pallo]

I think our OC. and Reich both had him in San Diego.  I can definitely see a visit and a signing.  He certainly wouldn't turn down a visit from two of his coaches.  Our two new Guards. Jensen and Fluker.

He may or may not be a quality starter..,,   But he IS a starter in the NFL.

 

Fluker is not going anywhere as a backup. He's starting for someone, whether it's the Colts or someone else...   he is not a backup.

Thank God you're here to save our two incompetents from themselves.    I'm sure Ballard and Reich will defer to your genius and lose all interest in Fluker.   All they have to do us read your posts.

 

[dgambill]

I wonder if the local media ticked off Ballard so he is just sitting there laughing his butt off watching these *s report who we are linked to and he is like nope...you’ll see we aren’t linked to ANYONE lol. Ballard is making a fool out of the Colts beat reporters lol. If nothing else is learned out of this it is that DONT listen to any of our reporters because they don’t know JACK. All speculation from them...and their sources are like janitors in the building.

Thank god you're here to make snarky, very necessary comments! Fluker was atrocious last year. Literally ask ANY Giants media member. Consistently torched in pass protection, allowed tons of hurries/sacks. A decent run blocker, but the glaring wholes out-weigh the decent run blocking. Look at his PFF grade, 42.4 (56th ranked guard - incase you can't tell thats not good). Giants fans were so sick of this guy. He's also got a past of being a iffy locker room guy... throwing other under the bus, slamming teammates. What a guy! Being "all in" on a guy like that when you've got over 70 million dollars in cap, with a horrible OL, especially when theres better options on the market.. not really a "build the monster" type player. 

 

Now, do you want the Works Cited in MLA, APA, or Chicago? Seeing how this is the most serious topic in the world and every single post must be held to the standards of Ballard and Riech.

Not bad but hasn’t lived up to hype

Hype and offensive line normally don’t meet very often. Especially when Colts is thrown in the mix. If he’s relatively cheap sure, if he’s too expensive, let him walk. No need to waste money on a maybe player.

 

i would however like it if he shopped 1 or 2 linemen on a 1 year deal to protect Luck before we address the offensive line through the draft. This year or next year, we should be spending a R1 pick on a tackle or a guard. 

[aaron11]

one article says there is interest while another says we are "all in"

 

i kind of wish the thread title was "WE IN TOUCH WITH FLUKER YALL!!##

[Hoose]

Fluker is mediocre. But with the quality of O-line play declining so badly in the NFL, I suspect he will find a job. Just hopefully not with the Colts. 

Jensen and Pugh? Now, that would be an upgrade. Sign me up.
