  1. Was debating making a new thread devoting an entire section in which offensive schematics and philosophies that may become Colt staples could be discussed. Let me know if you think it's a good idea. I'm a x's and o's kinda guy

     

    This somewhat explains Tom Cable's Zone Blocking scheme:

    *Thought it belonged here because of the direction of the thread

  2. Don't know if Pep will be bringing his entire offensive philosophy from Stanford but if this is what is to come upon his arrival, i am very excited.  Things to note:

     

    - Varied Formations

    - Designed Roll Outs

    - Timing Patterns

    - Motion to keep Defenses Off Balanced

    - Andrew Luck's attributes are the Star of the Show

     

  3. - Colts sign Jake Long, Louis Vasquez, Paul Kruger, Reggie Bush & DRC

    - Draft Dion Jordan

    - Let Freeney walk

    - Armstead Armstrong becomes a great rotational DLineman for the Colts

    - Coby Fleener has a ~850 rec yds and 9tds

    - Andrew Luck leads a very potent Colts team to a 14-2 record

  4. The Colts are off to a beautiful start with the new regime. Irsay showed his intelligence by headlining the organization with football junkies like Grigson, who as we now know has brought in Jimmy Raye (Respected around the league).

    The Coaching seems to be a strength thus far. Seeing the likes of a Chuck Pagano light a fire under players as well as other coaches to perform and produce maximum effort at all times is satisfying to say the least.

    Greg Manusky has shown the ability to teach and place players in a position to succed so that in itself is an improvement over the last decade.

    Pending his availability or departure, Bruce Arians like all have their flaws but overall wants the best out of his players. Holding the entire offense accountable for mistakes all the while helping them grow within the system is gratifying to see take place as the Colts climb towards their goals.

    While witnessing the mass overhaul that took place last year, the Colts have established a strong foundation for sustained success for years to come. From Irsay, Grigson and Pagano to Reggie, Andrew and Freeman these Colts have shown from top to bottom no matter where you come from or the talent you poses, If you work hard, follow the process and stay the course your family being the Colts as a whole will always find a way.

    Colts fans should embrace the journey these Colts have embarked.

  5. Didn't Jacoby return some from pretty deep? Maybe my memory is spotty. In any case, if one bad playoff game was enough to get rid of a guy who performed well the rest of the season, we'd be starting next season with a roster of Luck, Wayne, Allen, Davis, and absolutely nobody else.

    I'd have to go back and watch the game on jacoby's returns but i know we had minimal to no chance on KOs bc they were through the endzone. Isn't Pat capable of this, if so do it

  6. He was 5th in punting average this year, 4th among guys with at least 20 punts, only Morestead and Fields were substantially better. He had the best kickoff average in the NFL at 69.1 yards, a full yard better than Walsh, who was 2nd. And he had 45 touchbacks on 79 kickoffs, which is 8th in the NFL in TB%, or 5th if you take out guys with fewer than 40 kickoffs.

    Where did those rankings come in to play in the ravens game when i consistently saw Baltimore's kicker putting them through the endzone, whereas jacoby was tearing us a new one. (Don't give him a chance if you're capable)

  7. Did you miss his coffin corner punt this year that led to an interception for a TD?

    No i saw it but i just feel people want to throw money at a punter with a beautiful personality. I think his greatest contribution to us is on kickoffs and unlike his 1st year returners are given a chance. Seldom do i see this "Boomstick" they keep referring to anymore

  8. We must spend our cap wisely and not just throw around 30 million dollar contracts to every free agent we can find.I never understood 'why' so many people got excited by free agency(i think because of reggie white).These are high dollar players that rarely workout for their new teams.The majority of them just want the big payday,after their rookie deals are over and then basically call it quits for the next 5-7 years.The 'key' is finding players in free agency that truly love playing football,because these 'types' of players will perform no matter what.I will give an example of(good/bad)free agent pick-ups.

    The good:

    1.Levitre

    2.Long

    3.Edelman

    4.Woodhead

    5.PattyMac

    6.Kruger

    7.Barwin

    8.Welker

    The bad:

    1.Bushrod

    2.Wallace

    3.Bowe

    1. Have you met Bushrod, Wallace or Bowe?

    2. What convinces you to believe they are such bad signings?

    3. Why doesn't Jake Long's injury concerns, concern you (i actually like/want Long)

    4. Adam Levitre would be a guard moving from a zone blocking scheme to a man blocking scheme (Reason for Pause)

    5. i like Pat McAfee but to me he's becoming a overrated Punter and Kickoff man. His kickoffs rarely go through the endzone as i've seen many throughout the Playoffs and when has he drastically changed the field position and put the opposition in a tough spot?

  9. Putting Ty first, Id also have to throw Ballard in there because this kid has been the best back we have had since James or Rhodes in my opinion.

    I like Ballard but he in my opinion is in no way shape or form better than Joe Addai pre-injuries. Go back and look at the quickness and vision joe had

  10. Would I have enjoyed seeing a 6 foot+ gamebreaker? Sure. But the argument that somehow Peyton was missing out on something is one I'll never buy. You don't need 6'3 WRs when your 5'10 - 6'0 WRs are beating everyone anyway.

    ...Ure missing my point completely bro...all im sayin is the threat of a dominating big target could've helped 18, I said "luxury" not "necessity."

    Picture this as the idea behind my whole argument...

    6'' plus WR vs 5'11'' and under WR: Both being at the peak of their ability (not likely but work with me)

    ...for the sake of a non issue were establishing these wr's as having reliable hands

    5'11'' and under WR offers:

    - quickness in and out of cuts

    - usually blow the roof off speed or else why would they be on the field

    - Possibly 2 quick 2 get jammed but its up for debate

    - outside of [ ] the box point...harder 2 play zone on

    due 2 the that a zone gets stretched out so much that

    inevitably the small wr will be uncovered at some point.

    6'' plus WR offers:

    - impossible 2 jam by smaller corners

    - huge hands so drops are less 2 come by

    - catch radius is larger than that of a small wr

    - BIG threat over the middle

    - Red zone target of course

    - Possesses the body to shield of corners when throwing slants

    so timing isnt as much of a threat.

    - the ever so elusive jump ball that people talk about...whens the last time a receiver came down with the "Jumpball?"

    Concluding my comparison:

    "I Feel" at the peak of performance a big wideout has the more concrete and

    non discrepant physical tools 2 well exceed that of those of the smaller variety.

  11. no thanks...can Andrew be given a possible game changer over 6ft, a luxury Peyton never had b4 we start given out millions 2 Mike Wallace who I actually like.

    The defense needs 2 be addressed and the offense aside from a TE looks fairly decent 4 Andrew's(if they pick him lol) 1st year.

  12. That is true but he was drafted to be a NT so he still plays his natural position, if the colts got a player like him it would be pretty amazing.

    At times he does but ure not understanding that he is often more times than not setting the edge and funneling things back inside...and whats commonly known is if ngata isnt the most athletically gifted player on the ravens defense he's certainly 1 of them.

    Ngata easily can play every position on the dline and is the reason the ravens have the flexibility to play multiple schemes without drastic personnel change...Ngata is the hybrid player that the scheme is predicated on.

  13. Ngata is a NT not a DE the DEs were suggs and redding

    U seem very confident in ure post but ure a little misinformed in ure details given...Although ngata has the size of a traditional nt he and redding man'd the DE position for the ravens while Mount Cody played the nt when the ravens showed their 3-4 look.

    When the ravens went 4-3 and sometimes dime in certain situations Ngata kicked inside to play the nose

    ...Mckinney was the main guy behind Mount Cody at the nose in the 3-4 scheme
