Dalton Tucker time?

Anyone recall how he did this game, after being placed into the starting lineup after Fries' injury?

 

I remember his draft profile listed him as having decent size at 6'5'' 315 lbs, long arms 34'', also versatile at G/T.

I would’ve thought conclaves would’ve gone in. Dalton surprised me.

Think they view Goncalves more on the outside as a swing Tackle and Tucker more inside. Talker has impressed since day 1, not sure if Ryan Kelly comes back next week if so we may see Bortolini  slide to the Guard spot.

It sucks Fries went down he was having an amazing season but this injury is Tucker’s chance to make something of it.  I thought he did well when he came in but the real test is going to come as teams get tape on him and figure out how to attack him.  Still I am hoping he does well.  Whoever posts here that is his uncle I think should be really proud tonight even if the game didn’t go the Colts way today.

We need Kelly to get back asap so we can slide Bortolini out to guard. 

 

 I'm trying to find a compliment as to how well Bortolini held up today.

 He's at the lower end for the size to play center and hold up against a good DT bull rush.

 That said, he would be in the lowest percentile size wise to play guard. I wouldn't mind seeing how well he knocks a top DT around 😀.

 Tucker was kept as a 10th O lineman at final cuts which I doubt few other teams did that.

 He showed a lot of potential as Fries replacement for 2025. All things considered, he has a shot at hundreds of reps for 2024.

    • I was undecided on Levis, Stroud and AR. I was ok with any of them. Didn’t want Young because of his size.    That said, this team would look vastly different if we’d signed Mayfield over Ryan. Mayfield is not elite, but he’s good enough to build a team around in my opinion.    I’m on the AR wagon now though. In my opinion it’s ride or die with him the next couple seasons. 
    • What do you know about his personality?
    • I have to say AD Mitchell concerns me.  He is getting open but his lackadaisical play and personality are a big problem.  I don’t think practice will change that.  He is who he is.  He takes plays off and doesn’t concentrate.  It’s early but I’m not liking what I’m seeing.
    • I thought back to when I did my study/review of the QB's coming out in 2023.  I very much didn't want AR at the time.  For the reasons we are questioning him now.  He was inaccurate, and he was incredibly raw.  At the time, I was fully on board for Will Levis.  Interesting that he hasn't panned out all that well either. Really, if I were to do it all over again, I would have gone with my 2022 impulse, and brought in Baker Mayfield instead of Matt Ryan.  No, Mayfield isn't going to the hall of fame.  But he has a measure of competence and charisma, and can get a team to follow him into the minefield.  If we had gone that route, perhaps we wouldn't be in as much of the fix we are in.  Instead of drafting AR in 2023, we might have had a shot at DE Will Anderson.  And, thus, we wouldn't have needed to draft a DE in 2024, and might have gone with CB's Quinyon Mitchell or Terrion Arnold.  And the story might have played out a lot differently.
