The Jets don't have their second rounder because the Colts OWN the Jets 2nd rounder.
It's part of the trade back we made with the Jets in April. Remember our trade back from 3 to 6. We got three 2nd round picks. The Jets 2019 2nd rounder is the last part of the payoff.
All part of Ballard's master plan. Send them Jets 2nd round pick.
With the 3rd pick of the 2018 NFL draft, the Indianapolis Colts select:
Quenton Nelson
Braden Smith
Kemoko Turay
LEVEON BELL.
Genius.

FUN.
Im ecstatic with this defense... which will only get better.
I'm hopeful for our offense, because I think Andrew will get stronger and better over the course of the year, we will get a healthy o-line unit, and Mack back at some point. And because Frank will continue ironing out details in the gameplanning, adjustments, etc.
-
I don't see us making a move until Turbin is back and Mack is more healthy and we can evaluate our run game going forward more effectively.

I would say if anything the defense has given the Colts a chance to be 3-0
And i would agree that the defense has played exceptional.
But this offense is hurt, and they have taken some dang good defenses out of their disruptive game, which has limited big mistakes that can wreck even the best defensive performance.
The offense has been less than ideal, but it is what is right now. When you are without your franchise left tackle, starting runningback, and now your key starting tight end, it's going to be limited. Luck is rusty still. But the short game that Reich is employing works moving the sticks and extending drives which helps the defense... it didn't happen today.

You think the redskins and bengals are some of the best teams on our schedule?
Absolutely. Patriots and Jaguars round out the top 5.
Power rankings agree with me as well...
Redskins just whipped the Packers, so they will be back up ahead of the rest of the schedule.
Titans might move up after today, but it will move the Jags back more than the titans up.

And after the Redskins game, some thought we could win the Division. Now its a dumpster fire. We look like a 6 win team. It'll get better eventually.
6 wins is harsh, when we played three of the best teams we are going to see this season. There is a lot of winnable games on schedule, and after today, i have great faith that we will compete in ALL of them.

Oh you mean the one that still hit him in the hands and then the breadbasket?!? Hell, dude dropped a pass in a wide open field. Funny thing is that's their darn job.....to catch the passes. Hard ones, easy ones, whatever ones they can. Not just the perfectly thrown, perfectly timed ones.
$7 million job...

Dink and dunk keeps Luck safe. How many times was he sacked? This oline and Philly's dline was not a good combo for Luck to throw long.
As far as accuracy. He never has been the most accurate thrower on crossing routes. A dink and dunk O requires YAC, which requires the QB to hit the receiver in stride...not behind him, or on his hip, or over his head.
thank you.
BACKUP TACKLES! Read it folks. We have played 3 top tier defensive lines to start the season. We cannot throw the deep ball much without exposing Luck. The dink and dunk game has given us a chance to be 3-0 right now. That is enough.

I blame Reich's playcalling over Luck's performance.
The 4th down on the 5 at the end was an awful playcall and horrible on Luck's part to take a sack.
Let them take the ball at the 5 and punt out of their endzone. Gives you much better odds of having a couple shots at the endzone at the end. Roll him out and make sure a throw gets off. Something other than allowing a blindside shot.

luck is horrible and a bust
You are definitely not coming on strong...
Go on. Get out of here.

He wasn't very accurate today. A lot of missed opportunities. Too many dumb penalties. A lot of positives on defense though
He also had a few drops in the endzone which is unacceptable. The difference in the game. We let this game slip away for sure.

No.....
This is the new Colts offense. No more deep passes, get used to it.
Also it’s well known Brissett has a huge arm. Explains why they brought him in for the last play.
I dont think we should get used to it, as it isn't the new colts offense. It's the new colts offense while we are playing with backup tackles. Period. We moved the ball well at the end when we were putting pressure on the backend of the defense and stretching the field. There will be a time this year where that is reality. It just isn't right now, and for good reason.

Solid evidence Luck's arm isn't right. Dink & dunk when you have to get it into the endzone and then bring in the backup for a long throw.
Sad!
I saw solid evidence on the second to last drive that says otherwise. Luck can put the ball down the field like he needs to.
The last play was actually brilliant. Brissett has a cannon. They didnt feel that it was in Luck-s best interest to throw a 70 plus yard bomb. Thank God we have the coaching staff to think that. It was the right move.

The way this offense has been playing, I don't think you can be picky about how they score. They need the TD however they can get it. They shouldn't be trying to force things to go any faster than they need to, but if they can score a TD on the next play then they should take it.
You dont take your time. You keep your foot on the gas and try and keep their defense from rotating players. Score quick. If you can't, you have three timeouts to try and get the ball back. We aren't good enough to take our time and risk not scoring. Take the touchdown and let your defense win.

Some of you on here are miserable human beings.
Calling game with 3 minutes left. Acting like our defense is the " same ol same ol"
Blaming certain players.
Absolutely miserable.

Quick stop on defense. Long touchdown drive on offense going into the 4th quarter. Let's go!
-
Luck had no business running that. He put a great ball over the top of a defender and his receiver dropped a touchdown pass...
Don't rush to blame luck when someone fails.

I applaud the Jags. They were run poorly for many years. Then in 2016 they started drafting well and spent some money on FA's. I think Marrone was a good hire as HC. His O-line days have shown through. He's got allot of experience and has been pretty successful wherever he has been. Bringing Coughlin in was a good move too. They are a formidable team.
They will have some cap issues, but in the NFL, it can be worked through. They have a few guy making big money that can be worked out. They needed to change their identity and I think they are on the right road.
I don't think we'll see a team in London.
Big spending. Their biggest problem is they will most likely move (have to move) on from Dareus, Campbell, and malik Jackson by 2020... They are relying on drafting their replacements, and isn't going to happen to their liking. That is their identity. That is their bread and butter on defense. And they will have to let them walk because they overspend in FA every year.

In his defense, it is still early. I don't expect the Colts defense to be a top 10 "D" all season. Too young. I could be and hope I am wrong though.
I dont either. They are very young... but they are far from talentless. And Crunked repeatedly said they were leading up to the season.

Sure, as I said I thought Leonard looked good in the preseason, and "time will tell" so my review after a whopping 2 games is Leonard is still good and time will still tell....
... and the defense is still void of talent, right?
And Hankins and Simon were bad decisions... as they sit at home and watch.

Doesn't look like a cap situation I would want to be in... I'll take $100 million, Andrew Luck, and a bunch of young talent to build with...
Until Blake Bortles proves me wrong in the postseason, all that money is going down the drain, in my opinion.
26 players under contract in 2020 accounting for $180 million. $19 million capspace... Jalen Ramsey is not one of those guys. Please tell me how this is good management? Even if they are front loaded deals, they are strapped until those guys are cut... To put this into perspective, the Colts have 25 under contract in 2020... with $121 million in capspace.

Ballard’s plan takes hitting on the majority of his draft picks. But also I am super intrigued and excited with the way Reich is running this offense. He has so far from what I can see, maximized the talent we have on the roster. And after 2 games the Colts defense is the highest rated tackling team according to PFF. Which is huge. How many times have we seen players take wrong angles or just flat out can’t tackle the guy? Seeing that has me pretty excited as well. So far, all the complaints I had with pagano aren’t relevant anymore. They’re doing up tempo short passes move the chains. And the defense can tackle.
Ballard understands he can’t do it alone. And so far I’m loving Reich and I’m excited to watch the Colts again on Sunday’s. We will see how it goes.
We watched peyton manning, one of the most disciplined players ever. And the team is playing disciplined football once again. Let’s hope it keeps on going.
I dont think it does take hitting on the majority.... He had 10 this year. If you hit on half, and it's looking promising, of those picks, you can stack 3 or 4 on top of another and have a dang good roster. Much better than we are accustomed to. Guys that fit your mold/scheme. We are seeing the dividends of propert scheme fit, and prototype mold. Speed. High motor and intelligent players.

i agree building only through the draft can take a long time there are faster methods the pats and jax are two examples of teams who get above average talent any way they can, pats contend every season and jax under the present regime will rule our division for years while we wait to build through the draft and low pay free agents
Who have the Patriots paid big in FA recently? How are the Jags going to sustain the high payroll? Years to come? Lol.
I can't tell if you are being serious or not... seriously.

Don't get upset at this... but this team could really use Phillip Dorsett right now.
