Whether quarterback Andrew Luck actually throws behind them remains to be
seen Vikings Cheap Jerseys , but
the Colts at least like the progress they’ve made putting together a new
offensive line.
That was one of General Manager Chris Ballard’s priorities, and the first
look at the line offers some reason to think there’s a better chance to protect
Luck.
According to Stephen Holder of the Indianapolis Star, the Colts were
without left tackle Anthony Castonzo in OTAs (no reason was given), so they
lined up聽Denzelle Good at left tackle, Quenton Nelson at left guard, Ryan Kelly
at center, Matt Slauson at right guard and Austin Howard at right tackle.
That right side being made up of veteran acquisitions is no accident, and
using the No. 6 overall pick on Nelson seemed designed to provide a toughness to
the team as much as an individual player.
Slauson and Howard are also reliable veterans, which helps since the Colts
have struggled up with young players front in recent years.
鈥淭here just needs to be a mental toughness and a leadership with guys who are
all in and can mentally and physically do it play in and play out,鈥?coach Frank
Reich said. 鈥淭hose guys have proven that over their career and they鈥檙e stepping
up in their leadership role and really setting the tone for us, not only as an
offensive line, but really as an offense in general.鈥?/p>
The Colts also used one of their second-rounders on guard Braden Smith,
adding another high pick to the mix. It’s a promising start, and if their
quarterback actually ever throws again, they should be improved.
