Colts updates as writers talked to Manusky and Arians

[HtownColt]

smh Mike Chappell and more just gave me some dissapointing news that Olsen will be starting at LG again. and some more updates.

Mike Chappell ‏@mchappell51

"#colts OC Bruce Arians doesn't expect change with starting O-line unless it's injury-related. Sounds like Trai Essex backs up LG Seth Olsen"

George Bremer ‏@gmbremer

Arians did say Essex once started a game at center after just 1 week of practice at the position. #Colts

George Bremer ‏@gmbremer

Arians said only surprise from Luck on Sunday was the underthrow to Avery. Said its always better to overthrow the ball. #Colts

Mike Chappell ‏@mchappell51

"#colts RT winston justice still needs medical clearance later in week to start vs. vikings."

He's not cleared yet. He won't be back until after the bye week, at the earliest, I'm thinking.

Greg Rakestraw ‏@gregrakestraw

#Colts Arians: Expect to see Austin Collie all over the field. Not just slot or outside.

Greg Rakestraw ‏@gregrakestraw

#Colts Arians: Thought 1st down play was solid from offense on Sunday. It was the 2nd down plays that really killed drives.

Greg Rakestraw ‏@gregrakestraw

#Colts Arians: It was the 2nd down plays that really took away our number of runs during the game. Plans to keep that in perspective Sunday.

Greg Rakestraw ‏@gregrakestraw

#Colts Arians: Think Trai Essex will immediately help offensive line. However, doesn't expect any changes in this week's starting O-Line.

Greg Rakestraw ‏@gregrakestraw

#Colts Manusky: Believes that Freeney will be a game-time decision for Sunday.

Greg Rakestraw ‏@gregrakestraw

@tjbindy Justice should be good to go. They believe he'll be cleared.

George Bremer ‏@gmbremer

Arians also said 48 pass dropbacks is too much. Looking more for a 50-50 run-pass split. #Colts

George Bremer ‏@gmbremer

OC Bruce Arians says Trai Essex "should be able to help this Sunday" but stopped short of saying he'll start. #Colts

just some updates i found on twitter

[Indyfan4life]

I want Essex playing now... :/

[TKnight24]

So, how will he (Essex) help if he's on the Bench? O_o

I don't think Lineman Rotate like the Other positions. QB, K, P & O-Line are the Positions that don't change unless Injury occurs

[holeymoley99]

Sounds positive on Freeney didnt expect him to miss much if any time with how he was moving around so easily on it Sunday.

[krunk]

I think he's keeping it under wraps who will start more than he is saying essex won't start. Either that or they are going to give olse another chance to prove himself and if he stinks they will yank him and play essex.

[RomanianColtsFan]

Yes, exactly. I saw him practically jogging towards the access tunnel to the locker rooms after he got his ankle taped.

[Dan]

One of the most interesting things is that Arians wants to move more towards 50/50 run-pass. Great. More Donald.

[TKnight24]

Correction: Donald, Ballard, & Carter 8) lol

[TKnight24]

So Justice is back. Now we have to wait for Essex to get the Green Light & Reitz to come off his Injury & we'll be better on the Line right?

[Coltswarriors]

Essex needs to be ahead of Olsen & Link. They're both awful.

[Smonroe]

One of the most interesting things is that Arians wants to move more towards 50/50 run-pass. Great. More Donald.

I think that 25% of those 50% runs will be Andrew scrambling. The only way we hit 50% with RBs is if we have a big lead in the 4th Q.

So how was Collie cleared, but didn't Practice today?

[Gavin]

Arians needs to tak advantage of Lucks mobility and have him roll out more for short to intermediate passes while running the ball to set up deep passes or teams will just sit back on us all day and rush us

[Gavin]

dunno but I will take Jims word over that other dude I never even heard of in Rakestraw (no offense to the OP of course as I have no idea who Rakestraw is) Jim posted that tweet a little over 3 minutes ago

[TKnight24]

Well, at least Hilton is a Go. Once again I say, The Smurfs are in FULL Force come Sunday

Once in a while, yes. The problem with that is the D then only has to cover half the field. They just swing both S's to the roll side and bracket the receivers on that side. Luck is accurate and mobile enough to pull it off on occasion.

I'll take Fleener or Allen on a Linebacker almost every time but just Luck dropping back is going to get him hurt, we just dont have the O Line to just drop back and chuck it 15+ yards downfield several times a game

[Indyfan4life]

Probably just resting Collie and being cautious.

reading his bio he is the Colts post game host(I only came across his page because Reggie Hayes had retweeted him). and George Bremer is the head writer for the colts for the Herald Bulliten he said Collie will start on the outside and can be used in the slot after they talked to Arians today. they probably just held him out for precautionary reasons because he practiced full yesterday.

George Bremer ‏@gmbremer

WR Austin Collie will start out wide Sunday but could also be used in the slot. #Colts

yesterdays injury report

Injury report, DNP-P.Angerer D.Freeney J.Reitz...LTD PART-W.Justice..FULL-A.Collie TY Hilton

yea I know i seen it already, I was saying that they probably just held him out for precautionary reasons and keep him fresh being that Arians said he will start on the outside and work in the slot and because he practiced full yesterday

[Gavin]

yea I know i seen it already, I was saying that they probably just held him out for precautionary reasons and keep him fresh being that Arians said he will start on the outside and work in the slot and because he practiced full yesterday

yeah probably what it is, will be good when he comes back for sure

[JoKeR]

Some of this is TMI. Coaches, we really don't need to know and you don't have to explain your gameplan. Surprise us, and everyone else.

ya know how it is these days people have to post everything under the sun nevermind that some of it be withheld, I like the element of surprise though

Especially the run/pass ratio, geeze. It's probably no big deal, but I'm used to cookie cutter answers and lack of specifics.

less is more I agree

[Superman]

I hope so. It's concerning to me that he was a full participant yesterday, and today a DNP.

[MTC]

I don't know if I can handle Olsen starting another game.. man was he terrible..

[Mr.Debonair]

Collie prob was just held out for rest or precautionary

[TKnight24]

Not to on Board about Collie being in Slot. Yes, he's Dangerous there... but he's also in Danger being there. I gotta admit I'm shaky about that

[Gavin]

Kris Adams would be good in the slot and Collie on the outside

[HtownColt]

Wayne, Collie, Avery, and Hilton from the looks of it will finally play their first game all together. hopefully get to see just what role Arians visualize them playing at receiver and where they will line up for the most part

[krunk]

Not to on Board about Collie being in Slot. Yes, he's Dangerous there... but he's also in Danger being there. I gotta admit I'm shaky about that

Collie reminds me of a more athletic Tom Waddle that used to play for the Bears years ago. Waddle was fearless and could catch, but he was always taking major shots to the point in some games they had to use smelling salts to wake him up after a hit. I think his career may have even ended due to concussions. Not 100 percent sure but I believe so.

[Superman]

He was lined up as an outside receiver on the play where he got hit by Foote. Wherever you line up as a receiver, you have to run routes that put you in harm's way.

[TKnight24]

Yeah I suppose that's True. Hope Collie starts playing like Harrison did. Just fall to the Ground. I'd hate to see him go down again

[RomanianColtsFan]

Especially the run/pass ratio, geeze. It's probably no big deal, but I'm used to cookie cutter answers and lack of specifics.

Yes big reveal, as if it's not already a cliche for coaches to say they want 50/50 pass/run, or stop the run and run the ball, lol.

[RomanianColtsFan]

Kris Adams would be good in the slot and Collie on the outside

I actually like Adams more on outside. They need to better use him too.
