Anthony Castonzo

Per WIBC, just went on injured res...........errrr, nope. Sorry!







I was looking at who was free agents this upcoming off season and ran across a PFF article ranking their top 25 offensive linemen for the 2017 seasons so far. I was pleasantly surprised to find Anthony on the list as their 7th highest graded OT. His writeup:

PFF Elite Stat: Castonzo has allowed just three QB hits, and sees a pass blocking efficiency mark of 95.3.

The Colts offensive line has still been a major issue this season, with injuries throwing problems it’s way throughout the year, but the one stalwart on the unit once again has been Anthony Castonzo at left tackle. Castonzo has been a forceful run blocker, which has traditionally been the better side of his game, but his pass blocking has still been capable, and he has allowed just 28 total pressures over the season despite blocking for a quarterback in Jacoby Brissett who consistently takes more sacks than he should.

In an otherwise lost year, it is good to see 'Stanzo playing well. Looking back, I have not often noticed him so that is a great thing for an offensive lineman.

Walk Worthy,

And, since I was trolling PFF, I found this other gem in the ranking of the "Top 10 NFL CBs by lowest passer rating when targeted:"

9. Rashaan Melvin, Indianapolis Colts
PASSER RATING WHEN TARGETED: 60.3

Melvin has been a bright spot on a struggling Colts team this season before missing time with a hand injury. He ranks third on PFF’s ‘playmaker index,’ which measures plays on the ball (INTs + PDs), as he has disrupted passes thrown his way 23.6 percent of the time.

Another nice development in an otherwise lost season. He has jumped into the "must re-sign" category for Colts free agents, IMO.

Walk Worthy,

Don't know much about PFF and I know they get slammed a lot but just noticed that they have Mike Person in his small sample size rated much higher than Ryan Kelly.

PFF sucks so i wouldn't put too much stock on their rankings


that said. AC has been really good this year. why he is always labeled as a terrible player is beyond me. the colts are lucky to have him and anyone saying different is a moron.


pff is higher than i am on melvin. although i do believe he had a nice season

Melvin has been a pleasant surprise......you wonder what happens if he gets paid.

I bet the correlation between people who say "AC sucks" and the people who say "TY sucks" is quite high.
