QB's For Houston Game

I see they lifted Mallett today. Pretty bad game statically...Anyone heard anything on who might be starting next week for them ? I'm guessing Mallett as I don't think they want to go back and forth... Obviously the Colts are hoping Luck can go but no sure thing there either....

Two sides of the same coin at this point. It was the same story in Week 1, just swap the two QBs. Neither of them are any good.

I was wrong about the Colts but so far spot on with Houston. Last place schedule and lots of stupid faith in a guy they bought for a 6th rounder.

It's wierd how the offense looked much better (minus the 2 fumbles) with a game managing over-the-hill quarterback than it has with a gunslinging superstar.  I wish I knew if it was more Hasselbeck's calls at the line or Pep changing his offensive strategy.  I feel comfortable with Hasselbeck next week if Luck can't go.  Maybe Luck will learn something watching from the sideline.  Like making high percentage short throws to your playmakers and let them make plays instead of trying to be a hero everygame.  Was it me, or did Hasselbeck seem to not be hit as much as Luck?  And, to me, Holmes seemed to be the weak link today on the line.

I think they're changing the offensive strategy.  I think by now they figure 5-7 step drop backs, and the overly long developing routes that the OL isn't capable of blocking for have not really worked.

I hope he plays but the Colts didn't say that, the insiders said that and they said Luck was getting rehab an hour after the game to hopefully be ready.

 

Short week, we get back to practice tomorrow, and I bet half the team will be DNP or limited. Luck ought to be in treatment nonstop, and whatever else they can have him do to get ready to play. If he couldn't play today, it's not surprising that he'd be considered 50/50 right now. We'll see.

Wrong about the Colts offense today with MH?

 

Seriously, he looked like he was fully cooked in the preseason. Like Thanksgiving turkey.

That too.

 

But I said before the season started that Houston was a paper tiger and the Colts were primed to go to the SB.

Ah. Probably right about Houston. No QBs, little talent at the skill positions, and generally anywhere aside from Watt. 

 

The Colts aren't primed for anything right now. If the offense can come around, maybe... But right now, the Pats, Broncos, Bengals, Steelers (with Ben), are all better. I thought we'd be in the mix for home field. Long way to go there...

they did get Foster back and he's a Colts killer and he doesn't need many touches to run wild on the Colts., given his history.

The Colts are just trying to weather the storm right now and get healthy and figure things out without completely drowning. This starts the heart of the Colts schedule. I said a couple of weeks ago they had two weeks to figure things out. I am not super optmitisc about what the next few weeks will bring given how they are doing right now.

I think Andrew plays but I thought he would today and was wrong. Looking forward to some good Football come Thursday. Just tell Watt to take it easy on Andrew or Hass.

Thanks, I'll pass the message, as long as you tell Andrew to sit and take this game off too :) Should be a good one.

Not sure it matters as Houston is 25 in points allowed this year. We, myself included, overrated that defense. I feel bad for Wilfork that he went there but this is a bad, bad season for them. This should be the Colts easiest game of the season thus far even without Luck if he does not play.

Mallett played hurt again. He was having a chest issue like last year. Hoyer played well in relief, albeit against a defense that wasn't going full throttle.

What is going on with the D this year? I just posted that Houston is ranked 25 in points allowed? Is it the talent, coaching? How is big Vince looking?

I haven't had the pleasure of watching any games yet this season due to my work schedule, but I'll have my first look on Thursday. It isn't rocket science...when your D is constantly on the field they get gassed. We've played against some of the better QBs in the league too...Cam, Ryan...

 We actually limited Devonta Freeman in terms of yardage, despite his TD runs. He did a much better job against that vaunted and celebrated Dallas defense. Four games does not make a season, but the Texans do need to step up and play some ball, starting on Thursday.

Mallett and Hoyer are two second rate athletes competing not for a starters job for only for a job. The coach never wanted Mallett on this team but got over ruled. Hoyer is well liked in the clubhouse which means they will buy him a phone for his birthday so he can call them next season from where he is sitting the bench. The Houston fans hate both of them and the owners of this goofy franchise. I live in Houston and they are ready to burn the house down. Mallett (12 of 27 w/150 yds.) played in nine series against the Falcons with zero points. Hoyer (17 of 30 w/232 yards) came in with the score 42-0 and they scored three times.  Thursdays game is in Houston and while Houston is famous for not booing its teams this game may break that mold. If the Colts go ahead early it could get nasty in the fans seats. Stay tuned.

    • Then begs the question. Do u want to say draft a MJH at 4 and turn around in 4 years or would u say draft Turner and pay him 30mill in 4 years? All day every day for the franchise rush end. I am not a big believer in 30 mill for a wr. Reid is a fantastic coach and look what he did with Hill.
    • I literally just posted that clip, it's where the conversation about QBs started.
    • Funny you brought this up.  I just listened to an interview Ballard did today with Rich Eisen.  He asked him if he has given any thought on how many quarterbacks will be taken before our pick and how many does he think.  He said sure we go through those evaluations.  It helps us with for planning purposes.  He asked him how many.  4 or 5 or 6?   He laughed out loud at 6.  He said Rich if it’s 6 we will be so excited.  Let’s hope so.  He also said the draft board is not yet set.  Won’t be until the night before the draft.  He also said he has had multiple conversations with other GM’s concerning the draft.  Preparing themselves for opportunities that could take place.  And they will continue up until the draft starts.  He said trade conversations won’t really materialize until you are within three picks of any trade.  Giving you time to finalize it.  Interesting interview.  Oh he pretty much ruled out moving up for Harrison.   Going up into the top of the draft would be very costly for him he said.  Thinks he’s a great talent but he thinks he’s pretty much out of our reach.
    • I personally wouldn’t touch Williams with a 10 foot pole. He seems like a distraction and cancerous. He may be Uber talented but I don’t feel like he is a winner, and don’t feel like his heart is in it. I think he gets the bag and just sets it on cruise control. There is absolutely nothing to base this off of aside from my gut feeling.  Maye Daniels  Penix Nix McCarthy   Maye is your prototype passer and I think his deficiencies are easily fixed with good coaching.   Daniels seems the most limited to me, proficient and will be very dependent on where he goes.    Will always have a soft spot for Penix, he throws such a pretty deep ball. His 40 time should have opened some eyes.   Nix is probably the safest pick IMO. I think he’s got the tools to fit nearly any offense. Has the athleticism, arm talent and I think he’s got the between the ears to excel in most offenses.   I see the appeal with McCarthy, he was as unselfish as they come allowing the run game to shine instead of checking to pass plays. I think his ceiling is a solid game manager.  
    • I'd imagine he's going bald. Most men his age usually are when they start sporting the caps 24/7.
