We are clearly not more talented.   The Redskins have improved.    Between being on the road and the anticipated bad weather plus our injuries, the Colts are underdogs and have their work cut out for them....

I think it's a conspiracy within the Colts organization... I think they have known all along AC is out for the year but they keep dangling it in front of the fans that he is playing so it doesn't affect ticket sales.

 

You realize some fans are going to think you’re serious.   They’re not going to know you’re kidding.

I have been of the opinion that we need to make Braden Smith our RT. He is young, talented and available. I thought at least he looked promising in pre-season. I think it would lead to some consistency that we have not had in a long time. And with a veteran RG to help shoe him the ropes I think it would work

He will be a better guard. He is a stop gap at RT. I think Smith is the starting RG by game 7 or 8.

Then Clark dresses as the back up T, I guess.  Then goes in if Haeg or Smith has to replace Slauson.  Or do we use are other G, whoever that is.

 

I doubt it. Glowinski would probably go in if that happens

Could this be a hint Braden Smith will play tackle?

 

Andrew Luck will play behind his 37th different OL combination:

 

Quote

 

...the Colts will start their 37th different offensive line combination in front of Andrew Luck, according to Nat Newell of the Indianapolis Star.

 

Thirty-seventh?!

 

Luck will play his 72nd career game Sunday.

 

Joe Haeg started in Castonzo’s spot last week. Rookie Braden Smith and Le'Raven Clarkare the other tackles on the roster.

 

“It’ll be a new combination, and that’s a combination we will have a lot of confidence in,” Colts coach Frank Reich said. “This is why we went big on the offensive line in the draft.”

Webb is on IR so it'll have to be different. It'll be either Smith or Clark.

Reich comment may point to Smith.

 

Colts coach Frank Reich said. “This is why we went big on the offensive line in the draft.”

The way that is said, it sounds like they consider Smith more than just a T for injury.  Otherwise, the statement would be a bit CYA in that they just went  big at G, not necessarily the oline.

If Braden starts then Luck will be on the run.

Well, with Webb out, Clark is going to have to dress.  Who starts may not matter much.  Either Clark or Haeg can play either T spot if Smith struggles too badly.

 

Also have to weigh the idea of getting Smith playing time under fire, even though Clark might be a better immediate option.

      Don’t worry. This is pretty common for the 2024 Reds. They always win the first game of the series in convincing fashion, and then the bats get cold for the rest of the other 2-3 games.

      I gotta say you make arguments that you’d never accept from your students because they’re so superficial.      So saying Ballard has been mediocre to bad is tissue paper thin.  Why hasn’t Irsay fired this mediocre to bad GM?  Because he signed off on what Ballard did each year in real time, not after the fact.   Irsay knows Ballard has an eye for talent.  And as Ballard freely admitted in January, the Colts haven’t had more success because he failed to get the QB right.  These aren’t excuses, but it IS badly needed context — which you’d realize if you weren’t always looking for new ways to hate on CB.      As to what you and Moose “supposedly said”  there’s a simple way to verify.  Go to the Day 2 draft thread of Friday April 26.  It was between 3a and 4 my time when I saw it.  I believe it was recent.  Just add 2-3 hours depending on your time zone and you can see your conversation with Moose.   What was so astonishing, what makes me “prattle on” as you put it is how you two ever thought you were right?!?   Given your career choice you jumped to conclusions I’d like to think you’d never accept from your students.   Why you thought Ballard didn’t know more?  Why you thought you two knew better?   Ballard not only knows more, he knows dramatically more.  As I said in another post, he shared the tip of the iceberg.  He doesn’t share the part of the iceberg that you can’t see.  The 90 percent.  The absence of curiosity is stunning given your occupation.    Now, at the bottom of your post you brought up a new line of attack on me and I have no idea what you’re talking about?   I’m not an optimist?   Since when?  Based on what?   In my 12 years here, only 1-2 posters have ever made that claim.   So what are you talking about?     Finally….   You can stop calling me Sir.  It’s normally said with respect.  You don’t respect me at all.   I’ve extended olive branches publicly and privately, and both have been rejected.  Your choice.  So calling me sir is intended as an insult.   It’s old and boring.   Move on.   I don’t know why you “enjoy engaging with me”.   You take a beating.  But if that’s what you’re in to, be my guest.    Sorry this went so long….
