So disheartening. Everything we know about Andrew tells us that he'll just take these beatings without saying a word, but I wonder if he has it in him to march upstairs and demand some offensive linemen.

The problem isn't just this season, it's been all three seasons.  That tells me that management may NOT be entirely aware of the issue.  He needs to tell Irsay that if he doesn't draft OL in the first round AND get a quality OL free agent, next year will be his last in Indy.

I remember how badly Plunkett was beat up when he was with the New England Patriots.  He led the league in yardage lost due to sacks his second year in.  Very difficult to swallow.
