Castonzo is expected to be schooled, Carimi was always stated as a RT & questioned as a LT, Sherrod was to be a LT

AT LEAST UNLIKE UGOH CASTONZO IS SUPPOSEDLY ENJOYING BEING SCHOOLED , u can tell by his upbeat interviews < IS LEARNING< AND SHOWS GOOD FOOTWORK & JUST NEEDS MORE PRACTICE

thats one of the things i love about the colts,its like we have two sets of coaches,the franchise's coaches,then the veterans

castonzo will be a force by next year i think,he will have a on and off year,but a good year this 1st year....he has alot to learn

like orlovsky said the colts offence is like reading rossetta stone,about some exotic language

Did anyone expect Castonzo to not get schooled by Freeney and Mathis? Chick is a bit of a surprise, but even Chick has more NFL experience than Castonzo. 2 All-pro DEs schooled a rookie LT, not a big deal. I say all the better, let Freeney and Mathis show him the tricks DEs use and what weaknesses Castonzo has in his game so he can improve on them.
