Quote:Certainly the Colts have worked to address the O Line. It seems like they settled down and performed better as the game wore on. I don't expect they will be as awful as some had anticipated.


They key will be how long can team hold on with obvious issues on the defense from an injury stand point. The firs 4 weeks presented winnable games. While players get back.

 

  If yesterday's game is an indication,   the Colts Offensive Line will be noticeably better this season than in 2015.   Arguably,  in a number of seasons.    Ryan Kelly got bullrushed on a stunt in the first half by DE Kerry Hyder which caused a QB hit.    For the most part though,  Kelly held up well against some quality DTs.    The Center position has been problematic for the Colts since the better days of Jeff Saturday.  

 

 Though this coming week's opponent,  the Broncos,   have an elite Defense,  the Colts are probably better off playing them now ( relatively speaking ) based on their injury situation in the Secondary.   Because the Broncos don't have a high caliber experienced QB,  that might keep the score down enough for Andrew Luck to keep them in the game.     On the other hand,  playing in loud Denver is going to be a challenge for the Colts Defensive Line against Von Miller,  Demarcus Ware,  and co.
