Can we talk about Beane and Oline?

Beane's done good but he also traded (now pro bowler) Wyatt Teller for 5th and 6th round draft picks... I of those picks ended up being your boy T. Bass and the other was part of the trade for Diggs.

Yes, we can talk about this.

Does Brown get back in immediately? The discipline was insane this week.

Do you really think they should consider benching him?

Love Dion but Franchise QBs can play for a long ass time and it would be lovely to have that next LT lined up already.

 

Interestingly Offensive Tackle can be a position of longevity too. I can think of many OTs that had long and illustrious careers. Dawkins is 30 years old and has 3 years remaining on his contract after this year, with reasonable cap hits.

Beane also drafted Cody Ford in the 2nd round so like all GMs, he's had his misses.

 

Still among the top GMs in the league and seemingly getting better.

Torrence has struggled at times and sometimes mightily but he was really good against Kansas City's front particularly against Jones. I said it in the game day thread, I was very surprised they kept lining up Jones on Torrence and not Edwards. He was having much more success against Edwards on the other side. I suspect when we see Kansas City again that they will have Jones lined up much more on Edwards next time. They probably thought they could take advantage of the younger guy and were proven wrong.

 

As for the topic, Beane has always had a knack for finding guys on the offensive line and he is doing a masterful job. The depth on this roster at offensive line is very impressive and with the dearth of offensive lineman around the league I suspect some of these backups are going to get healthy contracts in the future with other teams. The Colts have to be kicking themselves for giving up on RVD so quickly now that he is having success. I figure Grable is the future at LT now that Spencer Brown is here for the long term.

I'm surprised they let Torrence go one on one with Jones and won that many battles on pass protection. You can see clearly on the tape here.
