stitches

I guess an option would be for him to return and play at a high level until the trade deadline and for some contender to suffer an injury at RB... or for them to be underperforming and their running game to be lacking? I don't know... I guess we will see...

I don't even know what the end game is at this point from Colts' perspective. They supposedly want him to play out this year... or trade him if they get blown away by an offer. I don't know what would have changed for them to trade him in the next month? Would they get any better offer than they did earlier?

The source is almost certainly Irsay IMO...

I'm kind of done with the politics game between JT and the Colts. Just waiting for the resolution one way or the other. I'm glad the Colts have told him to do his job(rehab) and not be a distraction in the meantime. I'm glad he wasn't at the game the other day with the camera panning to him on every Deon Jackson fumble or stuffed run. I'm glad I could enjoy that game for whatever it was. If he's ready to play week 5 and the Colts are good with it... good. Get him back in play. If they want to trade him - sure... just... I'm done with JT. He's gotten enough attention for a player who hasn't practiced with the team for 10 months and has very publicly requested a trade, almost certainly is FAKING an injury to stay away from team activities. Good... stay away.

I don't have the all-22 but I saw several cases where Richardson ignored free crossers in the short range in favor of waiting for things downfield to develop and then nothing materialized. To be honest one of them is so egregious that I would imagine it would be teaching tape for him. IMO Steichen will show it to him and tell him - just take it... He was also a tick late on some throws... For example, the completion to Alec Pierce could have been a big opportunity for catch and run if he threw it early, but he waited for deeper routes and by the time he threw it, the defender was already barrelling down Pierce's chest...

it's EPA/play... expected points added per play... https://www.nfeloapp.com/analysis/expected-points-added-epa-nfl/ It's one of the main "advanced" stats

Anthony RIchardson is a top 10 QB in the league! ... Almost...

Brock Bowers might be a good consolation prize. This draft seems pretty good in the top 10. There are great players at all the most valuable positions. QBs, OTs, WRs and TE, EDGE, CBs...

Yeah... my bad. For some reason Marvin Jones has stuck in my mind like some brain worm and I swear I've made that mistake like 3 times already but I caught myself the previous times. So what did you think about AR's NFL debut, Superman?

Didn't see this posted but I thought it was a great hype video:

Pittman is our only consistent reliable weapon on offense right now! I would have no problem paying him market value(20M?)... The problem with Pittman is not Pittman... it's the lack of a true dynamic no. 1 superstar. Marvin Jones Jr would do wonders for this offense.

BTW, A few good words on Kenny Moore from me. I've criticized him a lot in the past 2 years but it seemed like after we put him on RIdley, he didn't get much of anything.

AR showed the promise, but he also showed that there is a long path for him to go. Good thing is that he seems to have what it takes to do the work. Love that the team seemed to have new found juice and desire to compete. The defense played well for most of the game(the DL especially was very solid). The problem is - whenever we can't create pressure the DBs struggle massively. And in this league you cannot rely on the DL to consistently create pressure down after down... I really don't think our weapons are up to par. This is a bottom 5 pass-catching unit in the league IMO. I hope Ballard(if he's still here) fixes some of this next season.

COME ON! Lets finish this!

This team is playing with some spirit and juice!

Down to throwing it left handed....

I have tears in my eyes!!! I can't believe this! I've waited for a decade for us to execute a screen like this

Indeed! He can use someone to tell him that. And not just to tell him that but for him to listen...

Also - completely disagree with the people who are saying Shane needs to be more conservative - NO! This is NOT the lesson he should learn from those 4th downs. We need better execution and better talent.

I thought the game looked even. The difference - their playmakers made plays... our playmakers fumbled or are no show... Some day Ballard will learn that even great QBs need playmaking talent to emphasize their abilities.

Well, that tweet will surely make his coach and teammates trust him more...

Anthony Richardson is younger than both Caleb Williams and Drake Maye.

That's a very good pick... it's insane how he caught 13 TDs while playing like 50% of the snaps.
