Mark Glowinski

[Tombstone]

He really dosen't get any pup.  Don't know if that's a good think or a bad thing.  I know if he would have gave up some sacks or negative yard when running the ball to his side he would have been get some pup.  He has been steady being the next man up thing.  So I will give him his props today because he also had a hand in this running game today....

[MarquisJ]

Him and the entire line has been very solid I’m liking this combo

[IinD]

Yeah he's come out of nowhere. Good for him and us.

 

Smith looked solid I think also on the right today. I don't remember being scared for Luck's life the last couple weeks.

[Case]

Ballard did it, he fixed the oline. Just gotta stay healthy.

We ran to both directions with equal effectiveness.    Typically,  it's to the left, behind AC.

 

But we ran very well to the right,  over Glowinski and Smith.    Very nice job by them.

 

Thanks to the OP for giving out some needed love to someone that no one knows about....

Castonzo shut Hughes down all game. Quentin was seeing how many players he could hit at the 2nd level, and Kelley was joining him. Glow and Smith where both send there side of the line 2-4 yards down field. Luck had so much time he ordered Uber Eats and had a Pizza in the 2nd quarter. 

Best I've seen the OL play in years.

[braveheartcolt]

Luck had time to pat his head and rub his tummy before he threw today. Do we now have a an O-line rather than an Oh-line?

[dgambill]

I like the mix we have. Even our backups are terrible. Getting Costanzo back really settled things down. If we can keep this group together I think it will be solid for awhile to come.

[AZColt11]

I think they're on the come.  BUT, I still believe they need another body or two, particularly at the tackle positions.  But they are getting there.

That why Brissett came in during the fourth. Luck wanted a piece while it was still hot lol.

[KB]

The progress is making this less of a draft need, but I would still like a tackle out of this deep class. One of these guys could always be good depth. 

[TheMarine]

...Do we really need a tackle in the next draft? Idk, but Smith has looked SUPER solid as a RT so far. We could get depth in FA market, and just take BPA in the draft regardless of position. That was a VERY legit Defense this line just manhandled.

 

Oh, want to see something great? Check out the 2nd TD pass, but see what Nelson does. I got feelings watching that

[krunk]

I believe our starting OL is set. I trust this group along with the schemes and plays they are dialing up to enhance their strengths.

[GoColts8818]

I haven’t noticed him. For an olineman that’s good.

[throwing BBZ]

 3-4 more games like this and i would be getting the check book out for Glow.

Sign him early.

[Farns01]

They have looked good but I will wait with cautious optimism.  Lets give it a few more games.  If Smith continues to be this good or better for the rest of the season.  Will they keep him at tackle or move him back to guard next year.  I think Glowinski is only a stop gap right now and got to wonder if Slauson has been a big impact.

I'm going to be a little more cautious then that.  At the end of 2016 we thought the line was fixed in part because it played well over the final 4 games.  

 

However the line's performance does give one reason for optimism.

I will say at the end of 2016 we didn't have 3 First Rounders across the left side to the Center.  And then a pretty decent FA Guard and a 2nd round G/T hybrid in Smith like we do know.   The talent level is a lot better with the group we have now.

[lollygagger8]

When Hines averages 9.4 YPC you know the O-Line is puttin' in work. 

 

Props to Glowinski, but definitely shout out to Dave DeGuglielmo (O-Line coach) as well. He's got this unit playing great. 

 

Zero sacks in the last two games against two good defenses!

I would say when Wilkins is averaging 7+ yds/carry without Doyle blocking on the line...the OL is putting in work.

He had the same impact as Good, Haeg, and Clark:

 

Serviceable in pass pro as long as Luck gets rid of the ball within 2.5 sec.

Terrible in being able to move a D-Lineman enough to create a hole to run through.

 

Having Good, Haeg, Clark, and Slauson OFF the field when the Colts are running the ball is one of the best things that has happened so far this year.

 

 

[Luck 4 president]

Depending on whose there, I would draft a RT who can play guard in the 2nd or 3rd. In case of injury he can fill in at RG or RT, or maybe even start at one of those.

That is because Ballard actually invests high picks in the line.  

 

Grigson spent too much time trying to find some low priced FA's and lower level picks to fill out the line.

He played well in the preseason too. PFF loved him.

4th round in the draft.  Like 2 or 3 drafts ago.

I'm referring to him helping the coaching staff.  They asked him to stick with the team and help with the players after his injury.

Hate to break the news to you but Clark went in at TE on several plays yesterday.

Oh...Well...I stand corrected then... The reason that Wilkens, Hines, and Mack ran left, ran right, ran up the gut  all game long to the tune of 219 yards with a 7.3 yds per carry, producing the Colt's best rushing attack in 10 years against a solid run defense, is Because Clark was in at TE on several plays. I didn't realize he was that good.

Well, using that Google/Wiki thingy that some feel necessary to supplement their brain with:

 

Glowinski was drafted in the 4th round in 2015, then started 16 games at G then next season.

 

Seattle's starting Gs are now former 2nd overall pick Luke Joeckle, and a 2nd rounder from 2017.

 

So the 1st and 2nd rounder beat out the 4th rounder, who was waived, but who then beat out our 5th rounder (Haeg), 7th rounder (Good), and UDFA, (Vuj).

 

Go figure.

 

And our oline now has 3 first rounders, a second rounder, and a fourth rounder, and is the best its been in a long time.  But, it wasn't playing very well until its 1st rounder started playing and the 4th rounder played ahead of the 5th and 7th rounders.

 

I can see where this GM stuff is hard.

[bigt]

Pff has him ranked as 11th best guard, has Kelly ranked as 7th best center,   I think they have Nelson in the mid 20s

Well, @DougDew did post in another thread that it was "actually pretty easy for a GM to correct" the holes left in the roster from the previous GM.  IMO it is not easy, but some posters continue to believe that they know more than the actual people that have the job.

This is how they currently have our Oline ranked.

 

Kelly 7th best center

Glo.    11 th best guard

 Nelson 26th best guard

Smith 20th best tackle

Clark 30th

Castonzo hasn’t played enough games to be ranked yet, but they have him graded in the 50s.  He has pretty good pass blocking marks, but not so good with run blocking.

 

On a side note, the new safety we signed has been at elite status the last 2 games and Adams is receiving a good grade as well at LB.
