After today’s loss, I can clearly see how much Luck’s retirement has set this team back. Brissett is nowhere near Luck’s play making abilities. Luck had the ability to put the team on his back and win games like yesterday. I never expected that from Brissett.
Anyone who had high or higher expectations this season after losing Luck, set themselves up for disappointment IMO.
For the most part, I think Ballard has done a good job and can’t blame him for Luck’s retirement.
However, I really hope the Turay’s, Rock-Sin, Banogu, Lewis and Wilson at some point develop. That’s five 2nd Rd picks on a defense that needs playmakers. If those guys don’t become solid contributors it’s on Ballard.
I disagree about Brissett. He’s shown flashes, he’s escaped a few sacks and ran for some first downs already. He also has only had one boneheaded INT so far. As great as Luck was, he was good for a couple wth throws a game.
Its ok to react after a game. But I think a lot of people here need to remember that’s all it is. At 2-2 we fought for every game, even without TY/Hooker/Leonard and that says something. We just need to hope that our guys get healthy sooner than later and ride the rest of the season out.

The effort he showed on the Tyrell Williams touchdown was worthy of a benching in itself. Childish football.
THIS
When Derek Carr threw that pass it looked like it was either going out of bounds, an INT waiting to happen or at the very least an in-completion. Of course Tyrell caught it and Quincy did nothing but flail around like a wacky flailing tube man...

I'd say one of out top D players. Don't see Leonard and Lewis as big losses. Walker got huge tackle #s which is the norm for the WILL position in this D.
Our defense is terrible without Leonard. Thinking an all pro linebacker isn’t one of our top defensive players is malarkey

Brissett is way too low

Not a fan of DougDew's gimmick.

Campbell is likely still learning the offense, and he was supposed to eat on underneath routes anyways. Regardless, I like what I have seen from him so far and hope he continues to get better each week.

Brissett has been impressive.
This season could have been a disaster, so far it is shaping up to be very refreshing.

Dont always go by the stats. Watch the tape. His position in this D will always have tons of tackles. Whats alarming is his poor performances in pass coverage. U can go back to the KC game and it is some what alarming how he seems to regressed. I chalk it up to playing better offensive teams and he is getting exposed. I look forward to Speed and Okerke getting a chance
The KC game was more of a lack of good safeties. Hooker was out and we started a player off the street...we are going to get exposed without him.

Our line backers are going to be iffy this week. I don’t see them playing as well without Leonard.
Kinda shocked that some of you are downplaying his value to this defense but then again some of you don’t understand football forreal...smh

U over valuing Leonard's value to the D at this time. I wouldnt b surprised if one of the rookies plays and they come out looking better.
Leonard made the All-Pro team as a rookie. It sounds like you’re undervaluing him.

Like someone else said, the Falcons are very capable of putting up points. Even tho Ryan has been underwhelming he is still a former MVP. Hopefully Darius Leonard plays next week, or else it will be a long day for us on defense. Reich is going to have to gamplan the offense to run the ball and control clock.
Brissett should be able to hold his own on offense, we just need him to manage the game and make a few smart decisions.

Is it? After the first drive, was he even targeted?
Mo is probably getting more snaps than him right now. Jack is too. He is our 3rd TE despite all his ability.
He has 4 catches for like 35 yards. Yes he hurdled a guy. He also dropped an easy TD. He is on pace to have less than 300 yards so far, this year. Last year, is last year.
And none of us really know if he clashes with the locker room or not.
I don’t know why you would think Cox got more snap counts than Ebron but that is false. The only person who thinks he is the 3rd TE is you.

I think his numbers could go way, way down. Like to the point where he is a big disappointment and reverts to the unfocused, overly emotional player he was in Detroit, and is looking for a new home next year. I'm not sure hes found a home yet. He jokingly made a comment a few weeks back that he thinks him and Jack were both just buying the Colts time until Mo Alie Cox get a little more experience. But I sensed a little jealousy and insincerity in his tone. Just a feeling I have with him.
I always felt Lions fans were more than justified in their disappointment of his play. I dont feel like he got a bad rap necessarily. He consistently let them down in big moments, and he is too talented to do that. And we have seen a little of that here as well. Hes just made more plays than he did there, and that's cures all ills.
Is that because he has improved? Or was it more due to the presence of Andrew Luck?
And this year, he has a new set of challenges beyond losing his best friend.
1. He wont get as many opportunities because of his poor blocking. Alie Cox is someone the Colts see as a long term solution at the TE position and is absolutely ascending, perhaps already surpassing Ebron. I believe they see him as having the potential to be a top TE in the league. And Jack Doyle is just solid and is such a good blocker its gonna be tough for Ebron to get any snaps on early downs.
2. There are just more weapons now, even with the loss of Funchess, and outside of the talented TE group. You got two young receivers in Cain and Campbell, who both have a lot to offer. And then you have two young RBs, both looking to increase their roles in Mack and Hines. It becomes a snap count issue. If we go more 4 receiver sets, it really puts a dent in TE snaps. I could see a lot of 3rd and long sets with Mack in the backfield, Hilton, Cain, Campbell and Hines as receivers, which is a lot of speed on the field. So, where does he fit in now?
3. Hes a bit of a DIVA. I am 100% anti DIVA. I think they rarely pay off to the point where they are worth it, and I dont think you need them. We have a great group of young guys, from a character standpoint. And humble guys usually dont like DIVAs. That's why they must produce, or they almost always become a locker room problem. If there's no pay off, it usually becomes an issue. It doesnt make him a bad guy, but I think some of the comraderie you see is because he has produced so far. What happens if he has a disappointing year? Is referring to himself in the third person as cute? No.
This is such a ridiculous post, lol
Allie Cox is nowhere near the receiving threat the Ebron is. Dude hurdled someone in the open field today...dude is a top option in this offense only after Hilton. He may have a bit of an outspoken personality but that has not clashed with the locker room nor his on field performance so it's a very irrelevant point.
Anyways, I'd have to go with Geathers. He makes too many mistakes and is injury prone.
-
Willis was balling when he was out there. The hit on Mariota and the tackle on Henry stood out to me. Hopefully he can build on this performance and perform like this consistently.
-
I came away with a very good impression of JB after the first game. He seems to be very composed and calm in the pocket.
-
The catch rule is *ic. The refs don’t know what a catch is, the refs make calls on a case by case basis. I feel like that should’ve been ruled a TD but whatever.

I didn't see him make a single read and come up or over to make a play on Any Pass the whole game. He was late EVERY time. Nice job.
Kudos to him for staying in the middle to be able to break up a pass there. Yip, how about dem gloves, that Int.Clearly, someone didn’t watch the game.

Yet you post enough to be aware of "how ignorant" some people are of his impact on our defense, when it's really just one person that keeps trying to downplay Hooker...
I would’ve tagged him if it was about him.
Calm down.

Lmao at this thread being about a single person , I don’t post enough to be familiar with a single posters opinion
You cant deny Hookers talent. He gives us a chance against any QB and would’ve greatly helped us against Mahomes last postseason. There’s a lot of posters here who pointed at his lack of interceptions last year as proof of him not being that good, but it’s clear that many of you don’t really understand football. The presence of a ball hawking safety like Hooker is damn near invaluable, check his stats last year QBs don’t try him often and that itself changes the game. If his performance in week 1 against one of the best slingers in the game is indicative of this season, I think he’s on his way to having a great season.
-
Now do you see why we missed Hooker so much last season? It’s insane how many of you were ignorant of his impact on this defense...
