Colts #1 in red zone offense

That is very positive, considering the fact we did play an elite D in the process. I still believe we should not go away from the run easily as it would only make Luck more efficient in the long term. 

 

If Luck had that confidence going in that the run game can be relied upon in the red zone, he'd probably throw under 35 passes consistently and complete nearly 70% of them more often, IMO, that is the efficiency I am talking about.

Great improvement from previous seasons where we always stalled out in the red zone.  Now if we could only get better at the process of getting to the end zone.  Seems like too often we end up having to kick a field goal or we turn the ball over on the way to the Red Zone.

Before yesterday's game, we were 6/6.  Doyle has become a real red zone threat for us, which I didn't expect.

I agree. Between the 20s is where we need to work at. Once we get in the red zone we do a great job. Props to Chud.

Doyle is a gamer, a hard worker, a guy I want Grigson to extend before the end of this season. If you find a good one, keep it, he will be cheaper to extend right now than later, any team could beat the qualifying offer he is playing on right now.

Yep.  A veritable rolling ball of butcher-knives.

Old and lame joke at this point. Not even cute anymore. Just saying.

Very true 21. There were a few who said the Colts were wasting time waiting on him to develop. They were calling for his release. I guess every move that Grigson does is not bad considering he is such a bad GM.

Well this is positive news.  Now let's get to the red zone more often.

[csmopar]

You mean to tell me that we're actually leading the league in something positive! who would have thought

[cjwhiskers]

I'd reckon were probably close to leading the league in redzone defense also if you only look at the last two games.

Seems like every time Turbin gets the ball in the red zone he scores too.

14th, half of the trips have resulted in TDs.  Not bad.

old. move on

[krunk]

We should honestly be putting up 35 plus points a game.  Should have blown San Diego out yesterday if we would just get out of our own way.

Like Reggie used to say "the other team is on scholarship too"

 

I hear what you are saying but I have to give some credit to John Pagano there as well.

Not bad?! hell, I'd say thats dang good considering we're missing 75% of our starters........ at least for 2 games

If we can get to a mindset/gameplan where we're gonna get Gore 15-20 and Turbin 10 rushing attempts a game our offense would take off.  I'd prefer a 15-10 split to keep both fresh for later in the season. 

[AZColt11]

Good start.  Now lets see if they can get there more than 3 times a game.  Do THAT and now we got somethin.

[Defjamz26]

It's because of how they're using the TEs and RBs. This season has shown we have a lot to work on but Chad has been spectacular. Pep was never this creative.

[pgt_rob]

It's somewhat hard to believe this statistic. We seem to get into redzone and end up kicking field goals. Hmm?

I thought the same, but I looked it up. All 6 of Vinny's kicks have been 30 or longer.

We don't enter the redzone often, but when we do....... we score
