We need to draft a starting LT in the draft next yr or find one in FA. Then let them compete with AC as to who plays left and who plays right and in the event AC needs replaced.... its covered


After that its CB's with better coverage we would have even more sacks
Braden Smith has played well in the playing time he's been given. He's been the best RT the Colts have had this year, which is out of 4 or 5 guys who have played the position. You worry too much about the OL. Especially in a quick release offense, it's fine.

Big Joe is reporting that Slauson has a "serious neck injury" that occurred during the last game. He returned and played through it but he's speculating that he's done for the rest of the year.

Which probably means hes done as a Colt. It was a one yr deal I believe.


Hopefully Good is back this week as well as AC then move Smith to his natural guard position and possible we can beat the Jets

Smith played against the pats. They don’t have very good ends. Probably be wise to hold off on speaking on how good he is at rt

Of the bunch that has played RT, he looked best in his limited time. Also, Puck worries way too much about OL.

But stampede blue just did a breakdown of Braden Smith and he shows a lot of growth and promise so far. Protection is starting to get better. They just need to get healthy and we just faced three of the best dlines in the league.

Other positions that need addressing: DE, 3-tech, CB, WO, RB/WO. That lack of WO depth and quality is really showing with Hilton out.

I didn't know this until today, but apparently Rosevelt Colvin made some kind of remark about the Colts having a lot of dudes that did not know how to take care of their bodies and that's why we have so many injuries?

Not sure about any of this but I am sure I am fucking sick and tired of seeing so many Colts players on the shelf!
S&C programs need to be more than just about the weight room now. Guys need to know how to eat, what to eat, how to cook. Alcohol and partying is a big problem also. That ages your body so fast. Young millionaires with lots of money to spend. Eat like crap, party all the time. You need guys that tell them how to live outside the weight room. Most have never been exposed to that and probably think McDonald’s is an exceptable meal when hungry.

Don’t forget that young athletes often do not stretch seriously during warmups and often do not get warmed up or warm back up after the half.

We need to upgrade the starting 22. Lol at you guys complaining about depth. No team has depth at the oline. If they do that guy gets snatched up by another team. There is a defiency of quality tackles and oline in general. The only teams drafting for depth are Super Bowl teams. Even then you don’t spend a top 100 pick on depth. You draft starters or try to upgrade starters.
