Not sure what Dakich has been saying, but Grigson's incompetence definitely had a lot to do with it. It's all semantics at this point, but IMO he didn't ignore the OL issues. He was just really bad at his job.

Dakich wants to put it all on the coaches. Saying that the talent was good enough to go 8-8 that one year. But stacking the roster with old vets because you can’t hit on your draft picks is not the way to go.

Yeah he did go through a lot of oline men. And they were all bad. Clark still hasn’t gotten any better even though this is his 4th year now?

Arians has completely escaped blame and I don’t understand why. His offense got Luck beat to hell to.

We’re about to see it again with Jameis Winston. That offensive line is offensive.

Kelly is obviously good. Mewhort was pretty good as well but ran into knee issues. And Haeg has been good enough to stick around as a backup, most likely b/c of his versatility. Other than that it was all busts for Grigs both through the draft and FA.

I still think the '13 offseason for the Colts is one of the worst in NFL history, especially if you add in the TRich trade.

Jameis won’t be any great loss. Arians system does get a QB killed. But he was only a Colt for a year. Then they had Pep and mr predictable.

Getting Luck beat to shit was a total team effort. From failing to build a line, to having empty backfield 7 step drops on 3rd and forever, and Luck just not giving up on plays.

A lot of blame to go around.

Still no excuse for quitting two weeks before the season. $24M in free money is nice, too
