Does anyone know how well the Colts line performed last year? I have read many posts stating that Luck got hit a lot. Was that from holding the ball a long time or from poor blocking? How was their run game?

From what I saw with Luck, he did try to hold the ball a little too long at times. As for the run game minus QB runs they had 1426 yards on 378 carries and the Cards had 1092 yards on 328 carries.

Since BA is calling the plays this guys real title should be - "Senior OL Coach/Senior Quality Control Coach"

He was with the Bears for a while so he should know a lot about run blocking.

Thanks for the info guys.

2011(before his arrival): Run Blocking-25th; Pass Pro-18th

There was a lot of personnel turnover as well so I guess it depends on how you choose to look at.

Wait a minute. We just replaced Whis and Grimm with the guys who replaced Whiz and Grimm!

Switch out the word upgraded for replaced and that sentence reads much better!

Sounds to me like the OLine will have multiple coaches one of which will be the OC.

I like the idea of having multiple coaches for the line. It's such an important part of the game and it makes sense to have specialists.

Eventually, each position on the team might have personalized coaches, but this is a good place to start.

Wow Harold looks meaner than hell in that pic on the link! Wonder if Mike Miller finds a job in any of thr high schools?

Can he play LT?

Yes, because the guy who replaced Arians in Pittsburgh didn't want the job!

Yes! Especially if one can focus on the tackles. I had been begging the Cardinals to do that for three years now. Haleluliah!

So what you're saying is that the Steelers and Cards made a mistake hiring Whis and Grimm?

They did beat us in the Super Bowl.

Fired Ken Whisenhunt so they could hire Ken Whisenhunt II. Makes perfect Cardinal sense.

relationships

The personality difference is huge- I don't see the need for an open door policy when BA treats you like a man in the first place- instead of wasting time and energy on head games - to see how you respond to adversity.

Each game has enough adversity - feed the good dog- starve the bad.

Dang it guys, unless I missed something, Arians already said he will be calling the plays till he can find someone he can trust or rather it appears till he feels he has coached this offense up enough where a new OC could say they have a offense to coach to begin with. Forget the guy's title, he seems to be someone that will just offer extra OL help which we really need. Did anyone hear the presser, if you did, then you should understand what this entails for the present.

 

[PJ1]

All of this is exhausting. Hope it works out but this is hardly an OC to get excited about. One of our biggest complaints we had about Whiz was he basically became the OC after Haley left. Too much for the HC to do. We just hired a coach that will be doing the same thing.

Only in Cardinal land. Michael should start wearing a bow tie.

Hardly the only HC who is the de facto O-coordinator.

As Arians said, and I paraphrase: "I'll turn over the reins when there's someone better to do it."

(and one didn't get the impression that he thought that would ever happen)

What did anyone expect? A big name offensive coordinator? This was obvious. And it was obvious that it would be an offensive line related guy when Arians said we would have "more than one OL coach". I can see where some are upset with Todd Bowles. Especially replacing Horton. But it really all makes sense - you can't keep Horton, that could easily split the team. Bowles is a Parcels disciple (which hardly anybody has posted in any thread), and the Defense he had last year had a crap scheme whose players had quit on.

 

[JeffGollin]

It could signal that, instead of filling his staff with a bunch of strategic wizards, Coach Arians plans to load up on hands-on "trench guys" who can teach.
