Bruce Arians' play calling?

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Not impressed.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Not impressed at all.

[Nobody]

IT'S THE PRESEASON

[jbaron04]

It's preseason no one call real plays

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Yeah it is Saturday too. What the heck does that have to do with his timid play calling?

[ReMeDy]

It's impossible to know how much we're hiding, since it's preseason, but no doubt we are hiding our best plays, so let's not think too deeply on things yet.

We also have to be careful not to endanger Luck, hence the reliance on the run, the safe 3rd & 25 play, etc.

???

LOL

[Holden89]

Really, until today I haven't had any problem with Arians' play calling. That first screen to Avery should have gotten audibled, IMO

[Playoffs2013]

Vanilla offense

Vanilla defense

About as common as people getting cut in thepreason

Uh yeah. ??? I noticed that against the Rams & Steelers. /sarcasm

[Playoffs2013]

But I agree that the play action was I'll advised

[krunk]

I don't think the play calling is that bad, i'd just like to see a little more deep passing.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

I don't think the play calling is that bad

Ringing endorsement.

It's d^mn sure not that good.

[John Waylon]

For what it's worth, this was our PFT One Liner today:

Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians says the team is using 60-to-70 percent of its offense in the preseason; “For us right now, to be successful is more important than hiding anything,” Arians says, as he hides 30-to-40 percent of his offense.

[Mr.Debonair]

Recievers aren't gettin open and O-Line stinkin it up

[JerryWonder]

hahahahaha

[Balzer40]

I know the Redskins defense is not this good. Their good but I have a feeling we're making them look better than they really are. Take some shots downfield for crying out loud.

[krunk]

Ringing endorsement.

It's d^mn sure not that good.

What are you supposed to call when you're backed up near the goal line? I'd just like to see some deep passing, I think we're doing too much dink and dunk stuff. Let the game play out.

[JWF]

Yeah its not the playcalling as much as the horrific O-line play. No running lanes and no time for Luck.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Thank you.

[krunk]

T.Y. baby! Open that offense up, yes sir!

Like I said, let the game play out. Got to get a feel for the defense first.

[schwamm]

A little patience, maybe?

[Balzer40]

See what happens when you throw the ball more than 5 yds.. TOUCHDOWN!!!

[IndyBarb]

Yeah! He shook the rust off!

[tony1831]

people are so quick to jump off and on a bandwagon here in Indiana especially, give the team i chance its the third game of preseason.... geez

[krunk]

I'm impressed with Rg3 too though. Going to be good

Another LOL!! Comic relief. You girls are making this 1st half easier to endure.

[schwamm]

Oh, but your griping is somehow helping? We aren't supposed to be very good this year. The Skins may just be confirming some of that. But incessant griping is going to make for a long year.

LOL Personal shot over the internet. The refuge of the trolls.

[The Peytonator]

The only problem I have is the outrageously predictable runs on first down with the 3 TE sets. What do you expect the defense to do other than stack the box and go all out against the run? I thought Arians liked to spread people out, not force the run. JMO

The initial excuse was it is preseason. That didnt float. Then it was we're calling conservative in order not to show all our cards....Arians himself refuted that. Now it is we're not that good and therefore it is unreasonable to point out the playcalling on the 1st two possessions was HORRIBLE?

Got it. ;)

Anyway...

You can always logoff if enduring legitimate fan observations is gonna be too much for you.

[krunk]

So far I also like what I see out of Donnie Avery, although there has not been much room for him to run after the catch.

He took a serious hit and kept it moving.

I understood that the Skins were gonna be blitz happy. But run delayed draws, run slants (Peyton's 1st TD). That crap was just...high schoolish.

That play action where they pulled Olsen out to the left side to pick up the OLB???? Not sure why you'd have a RG try to block a blitzing OLB on the other side of the line. It's goofy crap like that caused him to be resented in Pittsburgh.

He's too cute (and seemingly cocky)....for no reason. Not liking it so far.

We need this guy
