I'd say a total entire 11 collapse Jaylen Jones was awful tackling

But they both were certainly not good vs Joe Mixon Sunday

If you read... I said Collins is a very good player and in 2023, Collins had 341 yards of his total vs the Colts alone.

Right, that and just a simple adjustment of technique

IRegardless if they double team him or whatever, maybe press him off the line? But it would be nice, going forward, if we could somehow hold Nico Collins under 100 yards. Collins is a very good player, but only seems to look superhuman vs the Colts, then comes back down to earth when Houston plays every other team.

Well, if that's the case, then it's even worse. Meaning they have had three years to figure out who should be our DC. If Ballard (and Steichen) are unable to find a better replacement in todays NFL, then that's on them

I rarely defend Bradley, but today I will in one area... It is not Gus' fault for the horrendous tackling we witnessed on Sunday. And should that become the norm, this team is looking at a very long, and disappointing season

I believe, with another DC and new scheme, the existing "talent" we have, would look much better. And I also think, that even with high profile talent, under Gus' schemes, the pass coverage would still struggle. So often, our DBs and LBs get crossed up, and nobody seems to know who should be covering who.

I don't believe in 2023 Ballard wanted to get rid of Bradley. and even if he did (but couldn't get other coaches to come) They had a whole year to find someone for 2024. It should surprise no one, this year, when we continue to give up so many 3rd (and 4th) down and long conversions. and what is really infuriating, is the fact that it was 4th down

I was the opposite in 2023. In fact, I was on this forum ranting, when I heard the rumor the Colts were attaching a condition, that the new HC would have to keep Bradley and his entire staff. Now there is no way to prove that to be the case, but I believe it. His failure, game after game, to not allow Collins to kill us, along with just watching that awful X clip of the Diggs TD (like taking candy from a baby) just reinforces my certainty, that Bradley's scheme, is the biggest issue by far of the Colts defense.

It was obvious, what Bradley brings to the table, after watching him for an entire season in 2022. Yet the Colts, when they were hiring new coaches in 2023, elected to retain Gus (along with his entire staff) It's foolish to have expected different results, in Steichen's first year, yet alone now, going into year two.

Wow. That's a bad sign

Right on track to ending up the 28th ranked defense for the 3rd straight year.
