Answer to our LT worrys.

The answer I think is clearly right in front of us.  Why not move Ryan Diem to LT and Ugoh and CJ can fight out who gets the RT job.  At least Manning can keep eye on them if they get beat durring a game.  Gives Manning confidence  I would think having sense he knows hes got a trusted (underated) veteran lineman protecting his blind side.  You play your best WR on the right side because thats the first reciever the QB see's and you play your best tackle on the left cuz the QB can't see the rush coming.  What do yall think?  GO COLTS!!!!!!

I think

it would just make a bad situation worse.

Footwork

He doesn’t have the footwork to be even a decent LT.

He seems to have a hard enough time on the right side.

I thought Diem was worse that Ugoh last year

I called Diem the most washed up player on the 2008 Colts offense countless times.

It's shocking what you can miss sometimes. The amazing color changing card trick.

I thought you were going to say

trade with Cincy for the rights to Andre Smith…

by BlueVol03 on Aug 26, 2009 7:11 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

trade

A trade like philly did to get that jason peterss guy would be another route but who would we trade to get a good LT.

Or we should hope for the Chargers

to let Marcus McNeill go as a free agent next season, and go get him….

Go Colts!

McNeill?

What, so he could facemask Freeney all week long instead of just on Sundays?

In my twisted little Charles Bronsonesque fantasy world, after I rearrange Mike Scifres’s hips with some very large monkey wrenches and a sledge hammer, I take a bench vise and reverse the bend on all McNeill’s fingers. It’ll make it hell for him to type his memoirs.

I hate Joe Namath. That's how long I've been a Colts fan.

What about Darren Sproles and Philip Rivers

If Diem was good enough to be a left tackle, he wouldn’t be playing a mediocre right tackle.

by willyduer on Aug 26, 2009 11:45 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Horrible Idea

Diem would be similar to what we saw with Hilliard.

you must be crazy

i say we all start reading Mocking the draft a little more to keep an eye out for whatever LT we draft next season.

I have faith that Howard Mudd will find the right mix.

Trade w/St. Louis

What about Alex Barron. He hasn’t been as good as they thought he’d be, but he’s better than what is currently going on in Indy. Problem is he’s also relatively young so St. Louis has something to build upon with he and Jason Smith at OT. Looking at depth charts, don’t see any other LT possibilities available that would be significantly better than what is here in Coltland.

Tarik we miss you. More than that, PM misses you.

Hmmmm...

Are you having some offensive line issues? Are you tired of your running backs being dragged down behind the line of scrimmage? Are you sick of seeing your HOF QB on his back after every pass play that he isn’t sacked on? Are you embarrased and self conscious whenever you think about your epic fail of an o line?. What if I told you that you could get one of the best RT’s in the NFL for the cost of only one (1) third round pick? Amazing, I know. All you have to do is send the pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and in return you’d recieve, wait for it, WILLIE COLON!!! OMG, what a steal! This offer is available for a limited time only, so call 1-800-IMA-TOOL now! Anyone with questions about the actual talent of Colon should contact worthless, crack-smoking idiot Steelers Offensive Coordinator Bruce Arians.

Wow.

That was some Grade A comedy there. You’re gonna fit in nicely on this site.

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Whenever I think of Tom Brady, my thoughts immediately turn to this.

Thank you, thank you

It’s not often that I get to make fun of other teams’ o-line situations. Seriously though, I think that Colon could take a big step this year. Hopefully towards not getting re-signed next offseason. >:-D

LMAO

You could write for late-night ads.

How can you not love a team that does this?

by LovinBlue on Aug 28, 2009 12:14 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yes

but we just gave him a four year extension, and he’s the only person on the roster who I would remotely trust with Ben’s back. After that, it’s pretty thin gruel.

Cleveland Browns Trade Brady Quinn To Broncos For Peyton Hillis, Conditional Picks

FILE - In this Sept. 4, 2009 file photo, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Shaun Hill aims a pass downfield against the San Diego Chargers during the first quarter of an NFL preseason football game in San Diego. Hill earned the starting job for the 2009 season by beating out Alex Smith, who missed last season after re-injuring his surgically repaired throwing shoulder. Head coach Mike Singletary largely chose Hill based on his play down the stretch last year: he went 5-3 over the final eight games and he also owns a 5-0 record at home in Candlestick Park.
