Coltzilla takes Jason Cole to task
I don’t see a good tackle in the group. Charlie Johnson will be serviceable, but I feel he’d be better on the right side of the line as opposed to watching Peyton’s blindside. Ryan Diem, on the other hand, is clearly on the downside of his career and has been declining rapidly.
All of this works to better explain Polian’s move in the 2007 draft to move up and get Tony Ugoh. He looked around at the NFL landscape, saw a thin talent base at tackle, and got the best one available in hopes of plugging a hole for the foreseeable future. That the move hasn’t worked out to date is a shame, but he should be lauded for aggressively trying to better his team.
Only two things seem certain this year: Colts fans will continue to take issue with things Jason Cole writes, and the play of the Colts offensive line will be the on-field story of the year.
