Chuck Pagano: We have to get pass protection shored up

The Colts brought guard Todd Herremans in as a free agent and they moved Jack Mewhort to right tackle in hopes of improving their offensive line this season.

Of particular interest was improving their pass protection since there’s little chance that the 2014 AFC finalists will improve on that performance should quarterback Andrew Luck find himself on the sideline after being battered by an opposing pass rusher. Based on Saturday night’s performance, there’s work to be done to get that protection where it needs to be.

Mewhort was beaten for a sack by Pernell McPhee on the second play of the game and then gave up another pressure to McPhee on the next snap.
