i think it has to be mekari - literally no one else on the roster with any tackle experience at all - bredeson is like mekari but with no experience outside and Powers is literally only a guard and Colon-Castillo is also exclusively an interior OL
got to be mekari i think

So many moves happened I got confused. Everyone who was close to Marlon came off the list?
yeah even i was confused with some of the designations:
starting from the beginning of the week where we were at a 53 man roster:
We sent Ronnie Stanley, Tyre Phillips and Chris Moore to I/R (which opened up 3 spots on the 53)
2 of those spots have been given to Terrell Bonds and Kristian Welch - the 3rd is as yet unfilled
Marlon Humphrey is on the covid/reserve list after a positive test (which opened up 1 covid replacement spot this Sunday)
his spot has been filled by Geno Stone who is his Covid-replacement (which means he does not lose a practice squad elevation week)
All of the players who were identified as close contacts of marlon (and therefore required to isolate) have been reactivated - LJ Fort is going to be inactive on Sunday due to a finger injury but will still be part of the 53 man roster
Dez Bryant has been elevated from the practice squad as one of the 2 allowed practice squad elevations each week (looks like we only used 1 this week)
as a result unless im getting something wrong we currently have only 51 players on our 53 man roster but have elevated Geno Stone to cover for Marlon Humphrey who will become number 52 when he's allowed to return - but that still leaves 1 remaining spot (might be dez bryant's if he does well this sunday)
we also now have multiple spaces available on our practice squad to fill (but have about 6 players trying out this week so assume some of them will be signed)
The only reason I say Bredeson is because when Harbaugh was asked about Ronnie’s injury, he did specifically mention Bredeson would be active on game days now. He does at least have the size profile but it’s a pure guess. None of the options are intriguing and Holden has to be pretty bad to not get the call
notably short arms - then again mekari has that issue too (why he was never really an option outside even as a rookie udfa)
he does have decent footwork in his college tape but unless he's secretly been practicing there all offseason (and season) not sure he'll have ever kickstepped out vs the arc - no matter how quick your feet are that's potentially an issue
swing tackle/backup tackle and tackle depth in general has been a place we're deficient since EDC took over tbh - we had james hurst and we drafted Senat but never really looked to improve or bolster that position
Agreed. None of the options are ideal so we're really grasping at straws here, but it's gotta be a pure interior guy no matter how we look at it.
i mean that's the easy bit lol - there's literally no other solution
let's cross our fingers and toes for orlando and dj
At least they have to be going with the idea that the best OL are going to play. I just think this really speaks volumes about Holden that we were light on Ts for a game earlier this season and he didn't get the call. Now it was a prime opportunity for him for extended time and still didn't get the call. Really makes me wonder why he's still on the PS if they don't trust him to play.

You bastards better not lose today, @Ravens.
to have someone who knows the scheme in an absolute emergency i guess - i assume with all the spaces on the practice squad that we'll be adding at least 1 or 2 OL there to see if we cant find someone who can at least provide cover
holden seems like the sole guy on the roster who benefitted immensely from no preseason - did not get found out in the way that many UDFA Tackles do in preseason

So we're only really down Marlon and Fort. Could've been a lot worse. Regardless I thought at the beginning of the year the colts were actually bad and pretenders. Still do. But timing has just made this harder than we'd like. I think we're the better team and we pull out the dub even through all our issues. Look for Hollywood to be targeted the first play on a screen

I was wrong about my prediction of Dez getting 3 TDs. Maybe next week.
he didnt even get 3 snaps lol
