The Lilja signing was always overrated. Starting on the Colts OL really doesn't mean that much when the QB is always audibling into favorable protections and plays. He was a fine stopgap for last year, but he doesn't really have any business on the field this year.

I am actually liking, if everyone comes back healthy/gets resigned, the way this team could look in the next couple years. Of course that all depends on the qb, but the defense is shaping up nicely. With Tamba, Berry, DJ, the corners, and the dline finally showing some live this has a good chance to be a strong defense. The same could be said about the O. The oline has played well this year imo, and is a LG and C, which could be already on the team, away from being solid.

As much as I hate to say it, If we could somehow get Andrew Luck to fall into our laps it would be crazy. He really couldn't ask for a better situation to come into the NFL in my opinion.

Waters looks good because he is playing for Brady....


and Albert is playing the best ball of his life...the whole 'Cassel sucks because of Albert let's draft a LT' thing is dead and buried....


i'd hoped to see more from Houston, glad they're letting him play though

Belcher and DJ have finally given us a physical presence in the middle of the defense, they cleaned up a lot of plays...

this team is basically perfect for a young QB, assuming Charles comes back fine...

I think it can be assumed that DJ and Belcher s upped play is the direct cause of a capable NT in front of them. Gregg has played ok but Gordon in my opinion, has played very well so far. If Powe is what he showed in the PS and learns a little something from seeing K. Gregg play there him and Gordon could make a good rotation.

I hadn't thought about it until now but it really is. Young receivers and offensive players that he could grow with. Hell the Oline is pretty young sans the LG and C, who are on the way out. While I don't think there is any way in hell it was planned this way, if Pioli lucks into a franchise qb this year he is gonna look like a ****ing genius.

BTW I mentioned it in another thread, but Arkansas has a rb right now, Broderick Green, who played at full strength Saturday 6 months removed from tearing his ACL.

nice!!!!:D

Subliminal messaging, didn't even notice. Well there ya go it's in the stars I guess.

Wrong. PFF grades on an individual basis. Waters is also run blocking well.

Isn't it about time to give Gaither a go with how bad Richardson has been?

Yes. Gaither has looked better in limited time this year than Richardson has in 2 years. He's gotta be in shape by now, Gaither that is.

Only 5 RTs have given up more pressures than Richardson.

Next week should be his end against Mathis.

It's ironic that now that Muir is the OC and is likely spending a little less time with the OL, it has drastically improved this year.

I dunno about drastic. Richardson and Lilja have been shit. The others have been good though.
