Luck targeting different receivers

[Flash7]

After the first game, it appeared that Luck heavely targeted Reggie Wayne and Fleener. It made it a little easier for opposing defenses to gameplan for the Colts. But after this week, Luck targeted Wayne, Fleener, Allen, and speedy Avery. With Luck targeting different receivers in different situations, defenses will be left guessing, and will have to defend the whole field as Avery has demonstrated that he can take the lid off of the defense.

I am liking this!

Thanks for the statistical breakdown. Good info!

I am really glad that Luck found Allen for a TD. It'll keep Allen motivated as he will not primarily be used just to block.

Those numbers make me think he is throwing to his primary target a lot.

2 games does not a season make. !

If we had a good, veteran O-Line it would help ol Andrew, instead he is getting lots of practice moving in the pocket. Allen was so close yesterday.

When we get some running game ...

Cory Redding really caught my eye, he was really good yesterday.

Every QB will have a favorite target, such as Andre Johnson, Megatron, Stve Smith, AJ Green, and Reggie Wayne. When the Vikings emphasized taking away Wayne, it didn't slow down Luck, who found Avery and several other receivers. This is a good sign. After two games, Luck has shown that he can make the proper adjustments and get everyone involved.

ah, NFL.com has 76 attempts

[TKnight24]

Can't wait till the FULL WR core is out there..... That is, if Collie ever gets back on the Field

[FireJimCaldwell]

ah, NFL.com has 76 attempts

74 targets + 2 incomplete passes due to spiking it = 76.

Allen an Fleener have to do a lot of blocking due to Poor line

[funktacious2]

Man... I cannot wait for Collie to return! I think the passing game will only be getting better.

[Tark The Shark]

I think with Collie gone, Hilton, Brazil, and Allen should get more looks.

Our offense could be very potent with all of those guys getting looks
