How the Colts can Fix the Offensive Line

No unit on the football field lives and dies by the concept that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link more than the offensive line. When one player screws up an assignment along the line it can cause a total breakdown in protection.
Since Tarik Glenn retired following the 2006 Super Bowl Championship season, the Colts have played at least one offensive lineman out of position. Charlie Johnson, the Colts starting left tackle in 2009 and 2010, is not a true NFL-caliber left tackle and was not acquired to play that position. He had success at right tackle in the Super Bowl when Ryan Diem went down with an injury and has looked good at the guard positions, but left tackle is asking Johnson to play over his head. More >

Game Stats: Cowboys v. Colts
Dec 9th
After the debacle against the Chargers, and the heart breaker against the Patriots, the Colts dropped another game. They gave the Cowboys 17 points to start the contest, and had the chance to pull out a last minute victory on three occasions. Unlike previous weeks, no single unit can carry all of the blame.
The Colts had multiple series where one good play after another would get completely erased by a horrible play or decision. Manning threw interceptions on the heels of key defensive stands, Eric Foster jumped on top of an opponent to negate an amazing goal line stand, and Wayne tallied his only drop to erase a chance for the offense to win after taking the kickoff in overtime. In the end the Colts fell to 6-6, one game behind Jacksonville, and head into a short week — at least three players left the game with injuries.
It makes more difficult to know that some guys had great games. Antoine Bethea was absolutely everywhere and tallied 15 tackles, Pierre Garcon caught EVERY SINGLE throw his way, Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis both had a sack, Jeff Saturday returned to form, and even Manning was not terrible statistically.
On to the stats.

Bill Polian Talks O-Line and the Running Game
Dec 8th
The Colts O-Line has been a weakness this year
In the Colts’ equivalent to the State of the Union address, Bill Polian answered a lot of questions about the offensive line and the running game in general. If Polian’s remarks are to be believed, Colts fans can look forward to some changes, but not until next year.
He reiterated his belief that the O-Line had a “less-than-stellar performance” in the Super Bowl, but went on to say that he had also expected them to bounce back with more “power and punch” this year. He cited two decisions in particular that he implied would increase the line’s punch: letting go of Ryan Lilja (whose off-season recovery was going slower than the team had hoped) and adding Jacques McClendon.
