Guess The Colts Offensive Line For 2010

PrintThis is sort of on the heels of Paul Kuharsky's article yesterday, saying he feels Tony Ugoh will win the starting left guard spot over Jamey Richard. Because we have a few days before the final preseason game, let's just use this time to play a little game. Let's gauge what everyone thinks the starting o-line will be week One against the Texans.
Now, obviously, we don't know the full extent of Charlie Johnson's ankle injury. So, let's just assume he is starting Week One. Same with Jeff Saturday.
Currently, on the Colts depth chart, Jamey Richard is the starting left guard while Kyle DeVan has slid over to right guard. With the assumption that the left tackle, center, and right tackle spots are set (because they are), who wins the guard spots? Please use the comments to communicate your predictions.
For me, I'll go CJ, Ugoh, Saturday, DeVan, Ryan Diem. I think Mike Pollak is garbage at this point, and rookie Jacques McClendon just isn't ready. Same with second year man Jaimie Thomas.

If you're looking for our Week One prediction
I say Ugoh, Richard, Pollak, Devan, Diem.
I don’t see Saturday or CJ being ready to go by week one. Yeah, the Texans game is gonna get ugly.
If that is the line I would be tempted to play Painter most of the game for fear of Manning’s life.

Really?
Manning has played behind all of those guys before. The run game might stink (what’s new?), but I wouldn’t fear for Manning’s life. I would agree that Pollak is garbarge at this point, but his problem never seemed to be getting mauled in pass protection.
I don’t think he has been behind that 5 all at the same time. At least one of Saturday, Lilja or CJ was always there. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

My prediction is
Johnson – Linkenbach – Saturday – DeVan – Diem
Think you are probably right.
LG is the only one really up in the air between Ugoh and Richard. Richard might get the call until Ugoh gets some more reps at Guard.
In reality, I suspect the lineup against the Texans will be:
Ugoh – Richard – Saturday – DeVan – Diem. I don’t expect CJ back yet.
CJ will have had 6 weeks to recover..
and I DO think Saturday will be back at center by week one.
Optimistically, I’ll say Johnson-Ugoh-Saturday-DeVan-Diem,
but if CJ isn’t there, it’ll be Ugoh-Richard-Saturday-DeVan-Diem.
Here's my guess
Roll of Bailing Wire – Tackling Dummy – Traffic Cone – Turnstile – Cotton Candy
Ok now really:
Ugoh – Richard – Saturday – DeVan – Diem
I don’t think CJ will be ready for Week 1, and worry how deep into the season we’ve lost him.
How can you not love a team that does this?

I think Cotton Candy can hold its own against Mario Williams

Sloppy
I think the Colts/Texans game will be a sloppy one …but no way will we lose. Texans best D player is out, plus they have some real issues at CB, plus Colts still have the head game over them.
As for O line? i’m not even going to try and figure out who’s going to be playing.
One more thing…our CB’s “Hayden” better step it up!!
If your guess is correct...
then it’s basically the same line as last year with Ugoh in for Lilja. I still don’t know if that’s an upgrade or not since we haven’t seen Ugoh play G for any real time.
So, we can expect to see pretty much the same line play as last year. Like Nate says on his 18to88 site – O-Line is way overrated in todays NFL. Especially when you have a premier QB.
Charlie Johnson's not even practicing yet?
Ugoh-Richard-Saturday-Devan-Diem.
When CJ is back: CJ-Ugoh-Saturday-Devan-Diem. I think this could potentially be a decent line. If Ugoh is any good at guard, this counts as an improved line.

CJ will not be back for week 1
I agree with Ugoh-Richard-Saturday-Devan-Diem until CJ comes back, then we try CJ-Ugoh-Saturday-Devan-Diem.
I personally think Jamey Richard is a keeper. He is big, strong, smart and aggresive. He should push Ugoh at LG.
I am afraid the jury is out on Pollak. He stinks!!!
Saturday isnt starting week one
i cant reveal my sources, but saturday probably wont be ready until week 3.
Fire your source(s)
I think you have another Mike Wise on your hands. Saturday was back at practice today. Great News for Colt fans.
Starting lineup week 1
Ugoh, Pollack, Richard, Devan, Diem
The only possible change is Saturday at center if healthy. This unit basically started in GB and Addai got that huge rip for 49 yards. I think that may have impressed the coaches and sealed the lineup.
Your offensive line is offensive. lol.

OLINE
Does not matter who plays. I can say they won’t RUN BLOCK. They have no one who knows how on that team.
