    Andrew Luck...

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    Yeah I thought the whole team did. Wr's was dropping balls. Oline not making holes. D was getting gouged. Reed kept trying to return a kick, lol. Then we got it together and got the win. I wonder why we have started like that a lot. We did it against Miami, jax and Seattle. I thought the raiders also. Only team we came out strong was San fran

    WHAT IN THE HEII DID REED CALL HIMSELF DOING?!

    We've definitely developed a less than impressive 1 quarter and better 2nd half approach.

    Four Matchups to Watch: Seahawks at Colts

    Four Matchups to Watch: Seahawks at Colts

     

    Seahawks QB Russell Wilson vs. Colts QB Andrew Luck: The Colts made Luck the first pick overall in the 2012 NFL Draft, while the Seahawks got a steal by selecting Wilson in the third round – the 75th pick overall. While they won’t be on the field at the same time, this is the matchup the TV broadcast will focus on, for the obvious reasons. While they won’t be on the field at the same time, the QB who plays best likely wins the game for his team, for the obvious reasons. Luck passed for a rookie record 4,374 yards last season, when Wilson was tying the NFL rookie record by passing for 26 touchdowns. Wilson ran for 489 yards last season, the franchise record for a quarterback, and has 131 this season. But Luck has run for seven touchdowns in 20 NFL games. They’re both playmakers, obviously. But who makes the most plays on Sunday?

     

    Colts WR Reggie Wayne vs. Seahawks CB Richard Sherman: When Wayne broke into the NFL in 2001, Sherman was 13. But at almost 35 and in his 13th season with the Colts, Wayne’s still got it, and still gets it. He leads the Colts with 22 receptions, giving him 990 for his career. Sherman won’t have Wayne all the time, because the Colts move him around to try and create mismatches. But when the NFC Defensive Player of the Month for September is matched up with Wayne, Sherman needs to minimize his receptions – not to mention his impact.

     

    Whoever has to block the Colts’ Robert Mathis on any given snap: As with Wayne on offense, Mathis will move around – although not as much as the Texans’ J.J. Watt did last week against the Seahawks. While Watt is a wrecking ball of a pass-rusher, Mathis is more in the traditional edge-rusher mold. He tied his career high with three sacks last week, giving him 7.5 for the season to share the NFL lead – and leaving him one shy of 100 for his career. The Seahawks played with three injured starters on the offensive line last week, and likely will this week. The Texans sacked Wilson a season-high five times and had him on the run most of the afternoon. A better option is to have Wilson run because he wants to, rather than because he has to. To do that, his protection will have to be better, and that will start with doing a better job against Mathis than they did against Watt.

     

    Colts nickel back Darius Butler vs. Seahawks slot receiver Doug Baldwin: Butler has returned four of his eight career interceptions for touchdowns, including three since joining the Colts last season. Baldwin has produced nine first downs on his 12 receptions this season, and seven of his catches have come on third downs. Baldwin uses his quickness, route-running ability and savvy to create space against the man-to man coverage and find holes in zone coverage. Butler likes to bait quarterbacks by playing off and then using his closing speed to beat the ball to the receiver. So this matchup definitely will be worth watching.

    Colts were built for these types of physical games

    Excerpt -

     

    "INDIANAPOLIS -- Adjectives to describe the Seattle Seahawks follow a common theme. Pick one or pick them all: Cocky, brash, physical, intense, opportunistic and tough.

    Some would throw "irritating" into the mix.

     

    From the yapping of cornerback Richard Sherman to the over-the-top demonstrative body language of coach Pete Carroll, the Seahawks come across as a strutting bully out to knock teams down and steal their lunch money. That style has worked well enough for a 4-0 start and stature as the best team in the NFC if not the NFL through the first fourth of the season.

     

    The Indianapolis Colts ought to be happy to see them Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium for one primary reason: The Colts were built for this.

     

    When general manager Ryan Grigson and coach Chuck Pagano set about to establish the direction and makeup of the Colts, they veered significantly from the offensive-heavy, quarterback-centric approach of the Peyton Manning era.

     

    They looked toward balanced, tough, physical and - this goes unsaid - a little brash. If you're making a team in the mold of the vintage Baltimore Ravens, only with a better quarterback, brashness is part of the package.

     

    "In order to build a program for sustained success, win a lot of games and then have the opportunity to win multiple championships, I think you've got to have balance and you've got to be sound in all three phases," Pagano said. "You've got to be rock solid in all three phases. That's what we're trying to be. We want to be tough and hard-nosed and physical on both sides of the ball and special teams."

    All of those attributes will be crucial when the Colts (3-1) play the Seahawks at 1 p.m. Sunday in the biggest game for the Colts so far this season."

    Hey Brian,

    Sherman doesn't necessarily take the #1 receiver - the only game he has really done that this year was against SF when he offered to cover Boldin the whole game as Browner was out.  Sherman will typically cover whoever lines up on the right side of your formation, and Browner will cover whoever is on the left.  Also, while Sherman WAS a little off last week, a lot of Johnson's completions were against Browner on the other side (a few were on Sherman though)

     

    Wtup Bro.

     

    Okay, cool. Thanks for the info! What's your take on the upcoming game?

    2013 NFL Scouting: Week Four's Top Match-ups to Watch and More

     

    With both of these young teams off to a strong start to the 2013 season, this may end up being the game to watch this weekend when the Colts and Seahawks face off. While Russel Wilson and the Seattle offense will need to have a good showing, there's little doubt that there's far more pressure on Andrew Luck and the Colts offense in this one as they face one of the toughest defenses in the NFL.

     

    Seattle has the fourth ranked pass defense in the league, and that all starts with Richard Sherman. Even though he struggled at times with Andre Johnson last season, he still proved it's not a good idea to throw his way too often has his pick six turned the game around against the Texans. Luck would be wise to focus on getting passes to TY Hilton and Darius Heyward-Bay, which still won't be an easy task against Brandon Browner.

     

    The biggest key for Luck will be playing well under pressure. His offensive line hasn't given him much time to work with thus far in the season, and he's not responded particularly well. His throws while under duress haven't been as accurate as we'd expect, and he's taking too many sacks. Against a defense that loves getting after the quarterback, Luck could have a long day ahead of him if he can't cope with the rush.
