Interesting Points on ESPN from Bob Holtzman:

For those of you drinking a cup of coffee, tea.....morning beverage of choice on football Sunday:

  • Andrew Luck scripted all 30 Redzone plays for the team
  • Arians and Luck put together two 15 play scripts for the start of the game (Luck was given the choice which one to go with)

To me this is instilling yet another level of leadership to the Colts young quarterback, and letting the offense know who the leader on the field is. It has to give him even more confidence this is HIS offense in his first regular season start following a great run by the great 18!!

What do you think....I like it! Go get em 12! :colts: :colts: :colts:

I think it is important for a rookie to have plays that he is confident in and knows what is going on in those plays and where to go with the ball. The game will come hard and fast for him today. That Bears pass rush will have him knowing exactly what every single one of them had for breakfast this morning I'm sure of that. Give him plays that he can run in his sleep....knows the progressions and can recognize when, where, and how fast to get the ball out for him. Keep it simple and let him run the plays he is best at. As the season goes along we can introduce more complex and better plays. As long as we are throwing in 7 step drops today I will be happy. Get it out quick and let some playmakers make some plays. Keep the down and distances as short as possible. You can't win a Super Bowl in week 1 (but you sure can likely lose it). Lets keep the kid healthy and give him a chance to get 16 weeks of NFL education under his belt and see how fast he learns.....he can't due that on crutches on the sideline.

    • I guess media could be saying stuff that I don't hear, I should acknowledge that. I just don't think anyone sourced or serious is saying it. It doesn't seem like those opinions are based on anything reputable.    I was personally concerned that the way things went with Reich and Saturday could undermine the coaching search. It doesn't seem like that happened. The Colts interviewed a ton of good candidates, and wound up getting one of the more sought after guys. They got a highly sought after GM in 2017. There was the McDaniels treachery, but I think he was just a slimeball.    The Colts are not a big free agent destination, I don't think that has anything to do with Irsay. I think free agents sign with the team that offers the most money, almost all the time. We've seen the Colts attract QBs like Rivers, Ryan, etc. Even Baker Mayfield listed the Colts as a desired landing spot in 2022. Maybe there's a player here or there who's turned off by Irsay, but I don't think anything like that has ever been reported. Like you said, the players only say good things. Anyone who goes on the record says good things. Former players call on him to introduce them to the HOF.    I just wanted to throw out there that despite the whispers and stuff, it doesn't seem like there's any substance to the idea that the Colts operation is negatively affected by Irsay.
    • I said it earlier but If you take Bowers, you re-work your TE room. Someone has to go. For me it would be Granson since he was drafted to be the mismatch TE, that’s what Bowers would be. Keep MAC for the blocking. I’d also put Ogletree or Mallory on the PS. Also wouldn’t mind drafting Tip Reiman late in round 5-6 to be the blocking TE with Bowers. He’s athletic enough to play STs too.   So again, if it’s Bowers, someone has to go. 5 TEs is too much anyways.
    • Washington had a break-out year for sure and was his best decision of his collegiate career to transfer and obviously paid dividends.  Washington said it before but looks like Josh Downs 2.0 and project to be drafted very similar in Round 3.  Between wide receivers and defensive backs, we could use another strong Downs clone in the slot.  With Downs that is the only biggest knock about drafting TE Bowers as he commands a lot of passes in the slot and would take away an already important role the Downs already excels in doing. 
    • I thought Odunze may drop to the Giants. My friend who is a Giants season-ticket holder said he believes the Giants are drafting WR in the first round. I think it may be Odunze if not one of the other two (Nabers and Harrison).
    • Based on immediate needs and BPA totally agree.  Top CB Quinyon followed by TE Bowers.  I know our TE room is crowded but MAC really feel this is his last year with the Club.  Any given game we've seen a breakout game from one of the other tight ends we have.  Bowers would be an immediate upgrade a long-term fixture.  Since we haven't addressed the lack of DB depth this offseason, Quinyon is also a high priority need for our Club and should be versatile enough if we do change DC next season to match next defensive scheme.
