  1. This is what is illogical about fans. As it relates to the "fumble" Luck was being held up by three rather large and one would assume strong defenders. In affect you had three attempting to wrestle the ball away from one. The officials refused to blow the whistle so given enough time the ball was going to come loose and it did. He did not drop the ball on purpose. What else was Luck to do on that play?

  2. JP you assessment is incorrect

     

    On Play #3 Good made a great block. it was a dive play 3rd and 1 though the A gap. Goods defender moved over into the A gap presnap. Good was able to get inside of him and turn the defender so that we got the first down. Great Block.

     

    On Play 3 #5 his job was to release to the linebacker, Reitz was to kick out the DE. Good blocked the LB and Reitz let his man come free. That is no on Good.

     

    On Play #7 we pulled good and Reitz to the right. The TE was to come inside of them and seal the DT. The missed his block. Reitz again was to putt and kickout the outside defender He missed his block. Good ran through the funnel which was his job and got the LBer.

     

    Play #8 he messed up and I would agree.

     

    Good played very well. you have to know the assignment to access the player. If Reitz misses a block you cannot blame Good. If he is to lead block to the LB he cannot change direction and help Reitz on what is the easiest block to perform i.e. a kickout block. His play on #3 was really outstanding the DT had positioning and leverage and Good moved him out of the A gap were the runner was coming downhill.

  3. Play of Good.

     

    I thought that he played very well. Run down is as follows:

     

    1. Stood his man up.

    2. Good Kick out block drove man away from play

    3. Good Drive Block for first down

    4. Pass he stopped his man and put him on ground

    5. Run he drove his man inside. Reitz missed his man who made the tackle.

    6. Pass he stopped his man

     

    Next Series

    7. Pulled right went through Tunnel and got the LB, Reitz missed the Kick out block and his man made tackle

    8. Pass. Only hiccup  Bills ran a stunt. The man in front of Good went left Good took that man and stopped him but the brought a delayed blitz up the A gap. Good needed to slide over and take the blitz and leave his man to Reitz who had no one to block.. LB came clean

    9. Pass stopped his man.

    Next Series

     

    10. Pass drove defender back

    11. Run drove man back. Ferguson made a bad cut and missed the hole.

    Film then locked up and I had to go back to work.

     

    All I had time for today but very encouraged by Good's play. Reitz had a really bad game for the most part. The young tackles are going to push him for a starting job.

     

    Watched a little bit of D. Cole was bad. Its time to let him go and keep the younger guys. I thought that Green was better than expected.

  4. He posted the following. I have to agree that this would be outstanding.

     

    Round 1 (18): Karl Joseph, S, West Virginia
    Round 2 (48): Cody Whitehair, G/C, Kansas State
    Round 3 (82): Jerald Hawkins, OT, LSU

    Analysis: I wanted to get the Colts and offensive lineman with their first-round pick, but the value just wasn't there. So I went with the best player on the board (Joseph), who could be their next Bob Sanders. Joseph is one of the more violent and efficient tacklers we've studied recently at the safety position. Concerns about his 2015 knee injury aside, he's one of the fastest-rising prospects in this draft. Whitehair shows exceptional awareness on tape and would provide the Colts with a versatile interior lineman. Hawkins has the frame, skill set and football character to develop into a solid right tackle starter in the NFL.

  5. Has anyone looked at the Colt film breakdown that is a recent topic. It is of the TD pass to Fleener. This shows the problem with our offense.  You have 4 receivers in the route. All of the routes are very simple for such a tight space. Every receiver is completely covered by the time Luck takes his drop.  So who does Luck throw to? it basically takes a perfect throw to Fleener (which he did) or risk an interception. There is not check down option. 

  6. If you look at the game in my opinion it is the play calling / play development that is the problem.

     

    Look at the first interception. We had four receivers all of whom are basically running 4 short curls. When the ball is snapped Luck sets up quickly and the blocking good. However he CANNOT release the ball because all of the receivers have their backs to the ball.  So he has to wait to make a throw. When the do turn around everyone is covered. On Short passes you have to run crossing patterns, Picks or throw to spots. However we are not doing any of that with our receivers. Basically Luck needs to drop back and just throw the ball away every play. On the second interception we sent TY into end zone against double coverage. What type of play is that? Zero chance of success. Luck should have thrown the ball away again but if that was the plan just kick the field goal. 

     

    Compare that to NO. They constantly throw to spots so that he defender does not  know where the ball is going. The Colts simply do not do that.
