right guard?

Hey all!

Being a finfan overseas, I havent been able to catch any games yet. Now that Donald Thomas is injured, who has been filling in for him at right guard? Ndukwe? How has he looked? Is the rookie Sean Murphy playing at all?

that's right. Ndukwe is filling in for Thomas and he has been doing a good job overall so far. nothing spectacular, but no big mistakes either. just solid football

Murphy is backing up Smiley at LG. he isn't playing, but that's not a bad thing. i read an excerpt from Sparano a few weeks back and he said he was pleased with how Murphy was coming along

Ikechuku started last week. He played good, but did allow a sack. Very strong in the wildcat formation....

Ndukwe have been filling in....plays hard plays nasty gives his everything....now i only listened to the game but from what i could gather their sack was a coverage sack sounded like to took awhile for Penny to go down.

I've always liked the Colts model for the Oline. You get two good tackles and a center, then get by with average guys at guard.

I think Smiley is better than average, and Ndukwe has been solid, so the Oline is now a strength. That means even with modest talent at WR, with an accurate QB like Pennington you'll have success.

Ronnie Brown must be loving life right now, with actual holes to run through, and a Pro Bowl year is not out of the question.

Nah, he was talking about 'last' week against the NE Pats, which was Ndukwe. 'This' week's coverage sack was given up by Jake Long actually.
