The Colts most recent Offensive line performance was abysmal. Point blank, the unit sucked.
Injuries have certainly lessened the line’s effectiveness over the last few weeks, with:
- Star Left Tackle Bernhard Raimann (Top 10 graded Tackle) being filled admirably in by 3rd round rookie Matt Goncalves (Top 40 out of 82 Tackles)
- Pro Bowl Center Ryan Kelly (8th in Pass Pro Grade) being filled pretty well by 4th round rookie Tanor Bortolini (19th out of 41 Centers in Pass Pro Grade)
- Starting Right Guard Will Fries went out for the rest of the season after having a big breakout to start the year (4th Graded Guard) and was filled in by undrafted free agent Dalton Tucker (70th out of 82 Guards)
Goncalves and Bortolini have filled in admirably as rookies, playing like average NFL starters (which is no easy feat for rookie linemen).
