Clark has torn Achilles

That’s highly unfortunate and sad for Clark. I hope he can make a full recovery. 

[waka waka]

when he tried to stand up and couldnt and then couldnt put any weight on that leg i had a feeling it was going to be bad news for him. 

[Yoshinator]

We need Constanzo to play now 100%. If he's out again this week, this would be really bad news. Best of luck to Clark in his recovery. An achilles injury is pretty bad.

[chad hugo]

Major blow...Imagine waiting on the sidelines to get your chance to show you ability and then this happens, oof. T's and p's to Clark! 

[holeymoley99]

Feel bad for the person no good person deserves an injury like this, as far as how it affects our team Clarke was a turnstile, Green is slightly better, cant imagine who ever else may play is a downgrade (Pinter, Eldrenkamp,O'Donnell) .

[JediXMan]

At this point Colts have to purge a LT from a teams practice squad. Chaz Green is garbage lol.

I hope AC is back, what do you think of Nelson playing LT for a week and Pinter at OG? 

[Nesjan3]

T's and P's. Do we have a Tackle after Green lol?

Pinter playing OG is fine with me, but I wouldn't move Nelson to LT. If I was forced to do something, I'd move Braden to LT and Pinter to RT.

well heres the thing.  If you do that, now you have 2 players, both at the T position, having to play a new/different positions on different sides of the lines. At least if you move big Q, he's still on the left side. and then you sandwich Pinter between two studs, Kelly and Q, which allows Kellys to help him, the right side stays solid and needs less help.

Larry Allen played OG for years and Dallas moved him to LT and he still was great. I am not so sure Nelson wouldn't still dominate. Like you though, I would prefer Nelson playing OG.

Here's my suggestion 

 

LT Pinter 

Nothing else changes

That's true, I just don't want Nelson playing LT honestly. Maybe he has to though in this situation, it is kind of an emergency lol.

What is sad is three season ago AC was hated by a few and they wanted him either cut or traded. 

Whole different story now.

I wish it were that easy!  Pinter would get destroyed at LT.

That's not fair to say. People's opinions change with new information. You can't hold that against them. That's just gathering info and adjusting your viewpoint based on what's happened. Human nature. It's how we live. It's ridiculous to stubbornly think one way and never adjust your opinion. That happened 50 years ago, not anymore.

True but some of our fanbase posts some funny stuff  . Rivers sucked last week now he is Godzilla to some  

[lollygagger8]

 

Godspeed on your recovery LeRaven. 

 

I hope they start chipping DE's with TE's a lot more than they did yesterday

[HitmenSports]

Green didnt do too bad considering what he was up against. Clark was just as bad at LT. He was getting beat all the time. Look at the Titans game and Browns game now granted they had miles garrett which is no easy task. Green had to go up against Watt and Merciless but at least this week if Costanzo doesnt play, we are against the Raiders which do not have a pass rush so we can rest him for the following week at home against Houston.

Well it's true and some of those who were saying it are some of the same ones who are now saying 'what are we going to do?'  

Believe me there are plenty who stubbornly think one way and never adjust their opinions. 

Very few will come out and will admit they were wrong. 

[richard pallo]

I'm expecting AC to play this week.  It's been two weeks and Reich is leaving the decision up to AC.  Maybe he needs a brace for support but AC is a tough player and everyone knows Rivers is playing hurt so I think he's going to play as well.  If the Colts were afraid of the injury becoming more serious they would control the situation and keep him out.  By them leaving it up to AC I think they would be okay with him playing against the Raiders if he said he wanted to play.

Just like I haven't seen the major Rivers Haters for lets see about 16 hours. They won't be hear until he loses  . That is a great thing though so I don't have to read their bull

Constanzo wasn't performing up to task as much when people were saying that, so the criticism was warranted. Let me ask you this, will you admit when you're wrong about being positive about something or do you just believe that should be held true for a negative viewpoint that ends up being wrong (double standard)?

 

The only time I really care if someone should admit they are wrong is when they make a very bold positive or negative prediction just to try and be right about it. Notice I said positive or negative. Other than that, people shouldn't have to admit they're wrong for gathering information and saying what is true at the moment.

Jeff saturday said it depends on the type of D line you face.  If they have a lot of outside speed rushers then Q may not be a great choice but if they have a d line that stays in tight then he could be a good option.

[rockywoj]

For Clark, it’s a real tough turn, for if I’m not mistaken, he’s playing on a 1 year contract.

It just matters how they bash him to me. If the comment is "Rivers sucked today" after a bad game, that's fine, as you would be criticizing him on that game. To say he sucks after that hypothetical bad game though would be ridiculous as he's proven he's still a middle-of-the-road QB for us that can carry us at times when we need it. 

 

The way-of-the-words matter!

oh I agree, but after we win the same 5 or 6 people disappear and it is a common theme.  I won't name names but they know who they are, I am sure you do too .

I was wrong on AC. I'll admit it. I was saying we needed an upgrade there. And the way the line was playing back then, 2016ish, it was warranted. I also didn't think he's been playing his best that year either.   However, since the addition of Kelly and especially Q, AC has been very good.

I never thought AC was great, I always had him in the good category but he is very important to our team and it is showing now.

"Garbage," eh?  A bit rough on your part.  IIRC he was working on the right side, mostly - and was pushed to the left because of injuries.  Pretty sure he did all he could.

True - AC has been a solid starting left tackle for us.  That is saying something.  He might not be top 5 in the league ( I really have no idea where he falls with rankings and stats) but upgrading would be a tall order.  It isn't easy to find guys with that total package.

I agree, I have him top 10 which is still respectable and good.

[CR91]

Sucks for Clark honestly. He might be done with football. I don't see anyone picking him up.

[Smonroe]

I hope that Clark recovers, but TBH his best hope is as a career backup in the NFL.  I remember seeing his highlight tape from college and thinking he was holding on just about every play.  I guess the Colts liked his potential and mobility.

 

As far as Green, I forgot what he was known for before joining the Colts - When he had to start for Dallas he gave up six sacks by Adrian Clayborn.  That was more sacks than Clayborn had in his six seasons.

 

Jerry Jones called it The Burning of Atlanta.

Dude, Pinter is way to small to play LT, the bull rush would destroy him

Yeah, I'd think we have to sign someone as an emergency T.

[stitches]

Clark is not a world beater but he's considerably better than Green IMO. We will struggle mightily on the left side until we get AC back. 

 

I actually wouldn't mind us trying Nelson at LT for the time being... how much worse could it really be?
