Players ruled out

[snkdy]

Hopefully Geathers and Butler can play.

 

[BCoop]

They need to start announcing who IS going to play on the defensive side of the ball. Can't keep up with all these injuries.

[dew5150]

If we can have Cromartie and Butler at CB along with Adams and Geathers at Safety, we'll be good to go.

[BullsColtsFan1]

Hopefully Geathers, Cromartie and Butler play at least.

I don't think they really have an option. There aren't enough guys behind them.

   Trent Cole did not practice on Friday. Believe he didn’t practice all week. Will be a definite game-time decision.

   2. If Trent Cole can't go this week, should mean more snaps for Akeem Ayers and undrafted Curt Maggitt.

[VaAllDay757]

No anderson again smh but I would like to see maggitt get more reps

[Jdubu]

My lord, what is the problem with our db's this year. I mean every one of them is out or injured and questionable from the #1 down to the 4 or 5 and the safeties. This is unreal. 

[The Fish]

The whole D is hurt after 2 games. This is going to be a long year on that side of the ball.

[crazycolt1]

But remember, if we give up enough points to lose it's Grigson and Pagano's fault. They are the ones in change of injuries.

[HeSoColt]

Looking at the injury report... we could be without 9 of 11 starters on defense.

[BCoop]

On the bright side, Myles Garrett and Dalvin Cook are currently within reach!

The whole D was hurt before the first regular season game... it just keeps getting worse

What if Pagano calls another bad time out?  Would we blame that on the injuries?

But we all know that Pagano is the only coach in history to make an error in judgment.

Didn't say that and would not ever suggest it.  But even you, the homerist of homers, would have to admit that his game management skills need some work.  You would admit that right?

Nfl network says Wolfe is definitely a go for Sunday. Given a day off because of the neck strain.

he didnt play with any push last week with that strain that he aggravated Vs Panthers after missing significant time with it 2 or 3 years back 

 

Wed was only day he was held from practice to give it a rest

Having four defensive backs right now isn't the problem.

 

The problem is what happens when we need 5 DB's...?      Or six?      Or even seven?

 

That's when things come apart for the Colts.......

 

 

[richard pallo]

I have a thought.  Maybe it's the field.  I think we should replace it during the bye week. Nothing to lose and it's only money.  Well, it is Jim's money and it will be replaced eventually.  So what the heck, let's do it early.  All in favor say aye!

If they're smart they'll just spread us out and throw. Plus you know for sure one or two will go down during the game.

 

I'm just hoping we'll tackle better at a minimum.

 

Here's to no more injuries...please.

[Malakai432]

They need to just need to start saying........

 

Out:

A lot of players on D

Questionable:

Everyone on D

I'd be fine with Maggit getting some more playing time. No offense to Cole, but he ain't what he once was even when healthy. Want to see some Ayers too.

Cole is now listed as doubtful.

[TheRustonRifle#7]

There comes a time when you just win with what you have......last Sunday should have been one of those.  Time to sack up boys!

Is this still about the timeout? What happens if we run the clock down take a sack or holding penalty ended up running out of time? Pagano's fault I'm sure. We didn't need a fg needed 6. You try to help the D sure but the number 1 priority is scoring. I have a bigger problem with the D laying back in a shell giving chunks of yards like Det needed a TD. I know we had injuries but you have to bring it at some point We gave them the fg. What happened to Monachiro attacking? 

 

Everyone plays but Cole? Cole is no loss.

I don't know ak, he seems to have a problem with different opinions. 

I know when we lose it brings out all the frustration and some pretty wild things can be said. It just magnifies every play. Had we held on to win it would have been a completely different thread.

If butler is starting at outside CB, expect a long day

I honestly don't think it matters if we can't stop the running game.  They may rush 85 times and throw 15.  Siemian also shows some escape ability so he and Anderson could gash us pretty badly.  DLine has to come up huge this week.

Exactly. I truly believe if we don't shut down the run early and often then we are going to be in for a long day. After teams doing film study watch how we struggled with the Lions on tape expect the next few teams we play to test us significantly on the ground game and short passes to RBs out of the backfield.

Monachino definitely has to figure it out even shorthanded. Teams will 'Brady' us and dink and dunk us to death.

 

The thing that killed us is guys were just lunging and guessing on D also . Seasons far from over, but they have to figure it out quick on D somehow.

but, It does matter if we do stop the running game, lol.

 

That's the problem, it's kinda like damned if you do damned if you don't.

One team has a motto that has proven to be successful. That motto is "Next man up". A team is not 11 players on each side of the ball.

Oh, no doubt you are correct on that point, haha.  I just hope that they have a brain fart and don't figure that out until we're up a couple of TD's.

I don't really see that happening, but hey, a guy can always hope, right??
