Colts fire O-Line coach

We suck. 

The players? Yes but Matsko? Absolutely not. Having a revolving door at tackle and still having the most rushing yards per attempt and 6th best for sacks is a product of his good coaching. We do not need a new O line coach. Tepper was just bragging about him yesterday and was the only assistant on the team who he praised.

Matsko has done an amazing job for us here. He's been tasked with turning some pretty shabby personnel groupings into a working line and he's managed to do it very well. This year, the team finished the season with only one guy from the starting OL at the beginning of training camp, and that one guy just retired. Somehow we managed to be statistically good and with a top ranked rushing attack.

If you could get him another Gross or Ryan Kalil (not just any Kalil as we've learned), it would be amazing. The guy knows how to coach a line and bring them together as a group.

Amini and Matt Kalil would like a word with you.

So a coach is magically supposed to make a dude who should be on the street (Amini) and Matt Kalil (who sucked just as much with the Vikings aside from his rookie year) hall of famers?  You can't blame a coach for the GM bringing in poo players like Amini and Matt Kalil.  He made Remmers look like an all-star (minus the Super Bowl, which was Shula's fault for putting him 1on1 with Von), and made Van Roten look respectable.  Matsko is one of the best in the league, and for someone who is around here as often as you, I'm surprised you don't see that

    • Valid, and throw in that what Wilson and Smith did is not out of the ordinary for a WCO 
    • Darnold was pretty bad until last year.  He implodes mentally, its just what he does.  To this day I dont have a problem with letting him walk.   Baker is a bit different.  He was an ass in Cleveland and they couldnt deal with his poo, but he at least had talent and went to the playoffs.  So you know he could play at least.  There were different stories coming out from the time he got here, competing with Sam and then the practice team release fiasco.  Both good and bad.  Some say he was a good teammate others say he bitched behind the scenes.   From what it appears his wife has worked with him and he calmed down and his play has reflected that.  Tampa loves him.  So if we were going to keep one it probably should have been him but man he was really bad for us.  But to his defense he didnt get the first team reps until late into camp.     In obvious hindsight we should have signed Baker cheap, drafted a dude and let the cards play out, but you know the rest of the story and now we are going to have to watch bryce for 2 more years 
    • Again his one year calling plays happened to be Baker's lowest YPA not counting his split year hear.  That tells me he was less aggressive with a QB who likes to be aggressive.  We have that and almost 2 full years of Bryce Ball here in Carolina.  He will take some deeps shots as most offenses have to in order to keep the defense honest.  Quick passes and hopeful YAC.  I'll give you one guess to which year Rachaad White had the most receptions as TB's RB?  Remember the first thing he wanted to do here is focus on how quickly he wanted to get the ball out.  That's part of his recipe to help QBs and help his OL.  Run the ball, quick passes to hopefully players in space, sprinkle in a little PA.   So yeah you can look at some coaches he learned under and speculate, but I am telling you what he literally is doing and has done as a play caller.  Offenses that were and are 100% his baby.
