The icing on that shit sandwich Ballard made is that Glow's cap hit this year is only 60% of Pryor's.

Colts D was pretty good. Nice to see.
If your oline is bad your QB looks bad. Hard to know what we have when the guy is under duress all the time. Is he making mistakes? Yup. Is it his fault? Not entirely.

Example of why it's hard to grade Ryan:

I'm only on the second or third drive of the all 22. There's a particular play, Pittman runs a 12-15yd in-route and he's easily open in the middle of the field, and Ryan sees him the whole time, the line holds up except for Kelly who gets trashed by the nose so fast that Ryan has to bail.

Stuff like that is such a killer. You're watching a 15yd catch with room to run from a good YAC receiver just disappear. Ryan sees him and has no chance.

To be fair, this is not an easy play. But we still need a guy athletic enough to make it.

Meh.
When we talk about the Colts offensive line, we mean a line that is "offensive".

Frank Reich says the Colts are planning to stick with Bernhard Raimann at LT and let him grow.

Quote:
For those curious why Colts moved Braden Smith from RT to RG:

Team wanted (needed) to shore up the pocket, and they felt Smith in the interior could do that. "Elite run blocker," Reich calls him.

Whether he stays there is fluid, but Colts knew they needed to protect Ryan better.

Asked if the team has considered Danny Pinter as the starting center, regardless of Ryan Kelly's status, Reich says, "that has not been discussed."

Talked with OT Dennis Kelly today, the vet tackle the Colts have yet to play. Said he's been healthy since about Week 2. "Until we find that rhythm, we keep working to find that answer," he said of the o-line issues.

Why's he not playing?

"I don’t know why that hasn’t come up."

Quote:
Is Dennis frustrated?

"A little bit," he said, adding later, "I came here to play."

"At the same time, everybody in here wants to play... the first month as an offense, it hasn’t gone the way we wanted it go. We’re trying to figure out the issues and how to fix it."

I think whatever lineup they put out this week is what we'll stick with the remainder of the season barring injury. I don't think they alter Raimann, Nelson, and Kelly on the left.

But I'm very curious what the plan is with Smith, Pryor, Fries, and D. Kelly on the right.

In my rat's ass of an opinion, Reich ought to try something daring and challenging, such as the following ......

With the exception of the center, the other 4 offensive linemen should play the first 2 series of downs. Then, have the entire 2nd-string playing the next 2 series of downs. After that, go back to the 1st-string for the next 2 or 3 series of downs. Again, keep the same center, as he would likely have some type of rhythm when snapping the ball to the quarterback.

And while he's doing this, Reich can say to the entire 1st-string, l "Guys, if you can prove to me that you can block adequately on a regularly basis, then I will go back to keeping you in there for the entire game ...... until then, I will keeping giving you all breaks every few series of downs. Maybe you guys have been tired, and you need better conditioning. But until you can show that you are capable of at least being average in terms of blocking, then we will use this system."


For the record, I do not drink alcoholic beverages, and I don't do any drugs (marijuana, cocaine, etc) ...... I just occasionally come up with these ridiculous, insane ideas that are probably laughable in reality. When we first drafted Andrew Luck, I predicted that Case Keenum would have a longer and more distinguished NFL career than Andrew Luck ...... and while Keenum has indeed lasted longer than the retired Luck, he has not nearly come close to distinguishing himself as much as Luck did in his career.
