    Rich Eisen call Colts win with Stuart Scott catch phrases!

    No surprise the two big mouths on NFL Network do their best to ruin it....even when they know what Rich was trying to do.  Let the man do what he's doing and shut your big mouths, Deion and Irvin.  It's like they have to say something just to hear their own voices.  Boneheads

    What? That's how NFLN always structures their highlights. If you click any highlight clip its all the same. Eisen or another broadcaster type does the play by play and former players pipe in with their "insights" and conversations. That's why he pauses to give them space to jump in.

    Reggie Wayne

    In coach pagano's instant access post game interview with Bob lamey he says that Reggie is dealing with a knee, elbow and torn tri. Then stops. If Reggie has a torn tricept I can't imagine trying to catch a ball with that injury. Wouldn't be surprised if he goes on IR after next week to have the most games and wins as a colt.

    Thanks.

    Figured it must've been something still going on with that arm. He hasn't been fully extending it on some these targets.

    Dilfer On Cowherd About the Colt Defense today....

    I just watched his breakdown on this. I'm still kind of "meh" about it. I understand what he was saying, but a lot of those plays he showed from last week were zone coverage, which we don't play a lot of, or cross-matches putting Josh Gordy or Darius Butler on Martavus Bryant or Antonio Brown. 

     

    To me, it was more a flawed scheme against the Steelers, and still a weakness of our defense defending crossing routes and the middle of the field. It was passive secondary play, which is atypical of our defense. So, yeah, I'm still not too worried about this.

    But I think the problem is what happens when another team (like the Patriots) forces them out of press.. Hopefully Manusky doesn't go with a soft zone again. Venturi was on all the 1070 shows talking about this last week. Check out Dakich from 10/29: Link

    Colts work out KR Trindon Holliday

    I wonder what the Colts avg starting field position is this year compared to past years, say over a 5-7 year span? Maybe its the kickoff rule moving the ball out but sure seems like the Colts start in pretty good shape, even after punt returns. Is that wishful thinking or fact?

    Factish?

    This year the average is starting LOS is 29.52, 7th in the league.

    2013: 27.84(14th)

    2012: 24.35 (30th)

    2012: 23.64 (32nd)

    But that includes LOS after kick returns, punts, TOs... so maybe the special teams stats would be a better measure.

    Something I've noticed about Luck's accuracy and velocity

    This is real.

    At times, usually when he's under center, he tends to bend his legs more while standing in the pocket. Basically his legs are further apart and hes kind of crouching while in the pocket. I think this makes him throw high. When he's in shotgun, he naturally doesnt bend as much and he's able to throw lasers. Like the 28yrd pass to allen on 2nd and 20. That was a beautiful throw.

    People are dragging you because you usually post garbage... But in this case I actually agree and it's something that's bothered me for years.

    He does tend to spread his legs beyond his shoulders which widens his base and probably does affect his velocity and accuracy. (Try throwing with your feet extended beyond your shoulders and you'll notice how much velocity you lose and how often the ball comes out high.) Seems like he does most when he climbs up in the pocket. I've never noticed the shoot gun vs under center difference.

    Yep. I love the way this kid is looking.

    I still don't get why he fell so far in the draft. If I were a Browns fan I'd be sick. I bet that homeless guy wasn't even from Cleveland. Probably fresh off a bus from Cincy.

    Kirk Cousins is better than RGIII

    Take it one step further and it probably means Washington has to forget using the option on RG as it would have to be done before the 2015 draft. Very possible that their won't be a clear cut decision on who has the no 1 job. But I guess because RG3 was pick 1.2 , that # would be around 13 mill. .. so no huge deal for Wash.

    Huh. I wonder how Griffin will respond to that... If he comes back by week 9 or 10 AND gets his job back that leaves a 6 to 7 week audition. Tough call.

    IIRC Cam was the only 1st round QB to have his option exercised. And from the 2012 class so far Weeden is already out and Miami probably won't w/ Tannehill... That would leave Luck as the only QB from that class to have his team pick up the option.
