This article provides an explanation how Gore is going to flourish with the Colts. One of the reasons is no defense will be able to stack 7 or 8 in the box with Luck as QB, therefore Gore's ability to find small creases will allow the team to move the chains.

This article points out that the offense of line is one injury away "from being a porous."

How would you determine the most likely outcome between the offensive line and Gore's success. Can Gore still produce with a porous line?

I just posted a news story today from ESPN about Gore, had some interesting stats when it came to Gore facing 7 in the box and more than 7 in a box. Gore's number with more than 7 in the box were better than any Colt last year. In fact, the Colts were pretty bad collectively in that department, but then again, how often did that happen with Luck back there. The story is pretty much about Luck and how he should open things up for Gore, probably a similar story to the NFL.com story.

Yeah, it's tough to completely separate the two. The offensive line being an "injury away" is kind of a misnomer in my opinion. Most positional groups in the NFL are an "injury away" from being porous. That being said, the Colts have really about 3/5ths of a starting offensive line, which is scary.

However, the Luck factor is huge. Those linemen will not have to make the same amount of holes for Gore because he'll often be facing 6 guys in the box, sometimes less. I think we'll see from Gore in Indy similar production to what we saw from Ahmad Bradshaw on good days in Indy, and Gore is more talented really. And Gore can catch the ball too.
