Using your 1st round pick every year on an oline man is stupid. Nobody is saying don’t keep feeding the talent and depth there but oline is definitely not the biggest need.

Yes they are fine as backups but we have 3 total stating quality players on this oline... AC Nelson and Kelly. ( Slauson was also) Everyone else is a back up. When you have injuries to those 3 it makes everything worse. We need a starting RT as soon as possible and move Smith to guard.

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.

Our number one need is a wide receiver who can get open and hold on to the ball

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.
