Real lucky there Painter got away with Delay of Game.
-
Yeah, Painter's release is faster. But, how's it working out for them? Painter needs more than a quick release.
-
What's gonna be Painter's excuse if he does no better? He's been here 3 years learning the playbook and learning off of Peyton.

McAfee seems to be the only one not thinking they're always going to take a knee or call a fair catch on the Punt returns.

I don't see a problem with it. No matter where you go...except maybe Green Bay...there's probably always going to be one bar or establishment that leans towards a team other than the home team.
I'm not so naive to think that everyone who likes football in every state is going to support the home team. My Grandparents never supported the Colts, they were Bears fans.

I can see him coaching. You can tell Football is in his blood. Even when he hangs the cleats up, I don't think he'll be able to get completely away from the sport. He's going to be involved in some way.

The term Tampa 2 was coined based on the defense created by Tony Dungy and Monte Kiffin in Tampa Bay. It's a variation of the standard cover 2. Honestly, the image posted in the initial post is kind of confusing.
Here is an image that shows what the standard cover 2 zone looks like
Here is a decent image to show the Tampa 2 in regards to the changes in the zone coverage. What it doesn't show is how the DL lines up.
The difference in coverage is that in the standard cover 2, the 3 LB's each cover 1/3 of the field in the area 5-10ish yards from the LOS. In the Tampa 2, the MLB drops into deep zone coverage with the 2 safeties. Dungy and Kiffin also altered the way the DL lines up in attempt to try to create mismatches with your best pass rushers.
If the other team's offense is in a long yardage situation then it can be a very effective defense. On 1st and 2nd downs though I just don't get it. I wish I had some of those old Tampa games to watch and see if they dropped their MLB into deep zone as much as the Colts do.
Basically the point is to "bend but don't break" meaning they really don't care how many yards they give up as long as they don't give up points. Dungy and Kiffin also believed in giving up strength and size to go with players who were a little smaller but much quicker. In Tampa, the defense was a little undersized but when Dungy came here it just got ridiculous.
The problem we keep getting beat is because, as I said before, they're running it on 1st and 2nd downs. When the Tampa 2 is called, the MLB immediately runs backwards to get in deep zone if it's a pass play. This leaves the 3-8 yard area in the middle of the field wide open. The other teams are running short, crossing routes with their speedy receivers and by the time then the MLB has to run back forwards and try to make the tackle.
Also consider that these short routes take very little time to develop. Run a quick slant and the QB can essentially take a 1-3 step drop and get rid of the ball very quickly, which gives Freeney and Mathis that much less time to get to the QB. If they'd run the Cover 2 on these downs then the holes in the zone open up in the 8-12ish yard range so it takes a little longer for the receiver to get behind the LB so the DE's have more time to get to the QB and try to make the sack.
Thanks for explaining it. I love watching Football, but I couldn't explain what each play means to save my life. So basically Tampa 2 is only good if it's a pass play, but if it's a running play then it's worthless?
-
Could someone explain to me what the Tampa 2 is. And how long it's been used if so many teams are beating it.

You tell him to wait until next season if returning this season at any point is going to injure him further.
If he's completely recovered and ready to come back, I don't think anyone is going to be able to keep him on the bench. Peyton's the kind of player who will want to help his team no matter what the team's record is. It wouldn't surprise me if he's hating himself for not being able to help the team out. Even though it's nowhere near being his fault, that's just the kind of competitive player he is.
-
I don't care who shows leadership at this point. I just want them all to step up and show that anger they were talking about.
They all looked defeated last week on the sidelines.
-
I doubt Denver will even be willing to let him go. Otherwise they have to admit they made a mistake drafting him when they did.
Even if they do let him go, I don't think they'll let him go cheaply.
-
I think the problem is, the Colts never prepared themselves of the possibility that they may not have Peyton for any given time during the season. My view on not only a back up QB, but the entire team is you have to be ready at any time to play without your star QB.
-
For me it's the Patriots. In no way do I want to see Tom Brady hoisting that trophy in Lucas Oil Stadium.
-
I must like the abuse cause I'm planning to watch the game Sunday. With or without Peyton, the Colts are still my favorite team.
-
I wish Bob all the luck in the world. I loved him when he played for us, and here's hoping he gets to play a full season. It's weird seeing him in Charger blue, but all the best to Bob. He's a good player and a classy guy.
-
Get well soon Peyton.
-
Oh, man. If I wasn't still recovering from back surgery, I'd take them up on this. I'd love to attend another Colts game. Peyton may not be playing this year, but I'd still get to see the other Colts players.
-
Looks like he chose the option that was best for him.
If he comes back this season great, if not, then it won't be the end of the world. Just long as he recovers the way he wants to. I'd rather the team lose Peyton for one season, then have him be forced to retire before he wants to and he's ready to. I want him to retire on his own, not because some injury or health issue forced him to retire early.
-
I'm not sure if we would of won or not, but if we had lost with Peyton, then it probably wouldn't of been so lop sided.
I think a lot of people put a lot of unrealistic expectations on Kerry Collins coming into this game. It's like Tony Dungy said on SNF, the loss today was a team effort. This game exposed problems on both sides of the ball.
Jeff Saturday was quoted as saying something along the lines of, the O-line is used to the plays being called out a certain way with Peyton. Now, they gotta get used to them being called out another way.
-
I blame the Colts FO in a lot of ways for never preparing for the possibility they would need to replace Peyton during the season at some point. Brady proved that even one of the best could go down at any given time and be out for the season. Instead of working to get a decent back up QB, they were left scrambling to find one this year.
-
I might wear my blue Mathis jersey.
-
I'm glad the league's changed their mind on fining players. There should be some exceptions...this and when the players wear pink for breast cancer. There's just some exceptions I think the league should be making.
-
Sounds like a good deal. Meanwhile I'm pretty screwed at this moment in one of my leagues...20 team league and I picked Peyton up. 7 starting QB's are being held by just 2 team owners...with one having 4 on their roster.

Packers can thank Chip Vaughn as well.
Kerry Collins """concussion"""

People questioning if players are really injured is the exact reason players feel they have to act like tough guys and get back in the game and risk further injury to themselves.
I'm not gonna question if the guy is hurt. Until I know for 100% certainty, then I'm going to go by what the trainers are saying, he's got a concussion.
