If Strief is to be believed, and why wouldn't he be, Peat is going to be staying at LG. Interesting.

From reports earlier this week Peat has improved light years with his technique and coaches and players have commented that he's doing several things smoothly that he struggled with last year.

Settling into a spot, 100 percent, has changed his approach," right tackle Zach Strief said. "I think that he has really detailed his stuff.

"I would say in the last week we've seen Peat do things that we've been trying to get him to do for two years, and then you see it and you see it again and then you see it again. And its like, OK, he's got it."

"The progression is definitely noticeable," Unger said of Peat.

"We know he feels more comfortable on the left side of the ball, and I think any time you're getting multiple reps at the same position, I think you begin to build some cohesiveness with your group," Payton said.

We may want to keep him at 1 spot, especially since he seems to be mastering it now.

Bingo, and like I said in an earlier post... If we slide Peat over to LT then we weaken the interior of the O-Line and that's the pressure that Drew struggles with the most.

Barnes has apparently looked better since dropping weight. Maybe he can hold it down. Be nice if the rookie could get er done. Then we'd be cooking with some serious gas

I listen to Rick Venturi on the radio here in Indy. He can tell you what the Colts need to do to win, how to stop the other team ect. ect. ect. Yet when he's been a real coach with a team what happened? As an NFL HC he is 2 - 19. He talks the talk but talk is cheap!

Ryan Clady sounds like a decent stop-gap.

I'd imagine we already have a list of 10 or so veteran LT's that could possibly be cut before the season starts.

31, but we only need him for the year
Austin Pasztor is an option as well. Maybe Jake Long will get off the couch for the opportunity to block for a couple hall of famers

If it's about getting the best players on the field you leave Peat at LG and Ramczyk plays LT. Here's a guy talented enough to be a first round pick and what good would it do us leaving him on the bench now that we have a hole on the O-Line? If he wasn't capable he wouldn't be here.

I understand the hesitation though. It's scary having a rookie protecting Drew's blindside, but an O-Line of Ramczyk-Peat-Unger-Warford-Strief can still give us one of the best lines in the league.

Maybe, just maybe Ramczyk balls out as a rookie ... shades of Carl Nicks 2.0.
