The Colts are going to have to stop Packers RB, Josh Jacob’s. At least slow him down. Have to believe Green Bay has looked at that Joe Mixon video over and over.
If the Colts can minimize Jacob’s and force whoever is the Packers QB (Willis, or his backup) to beat them, the odds for a Colts win will go way up.
On #4. I agree on all your points but will comment further on #4. .....We all know a QB that can also run is a added dimension which is valuable. However, its a way to having your back up QB get lots of playing time. Steinchen needs to pump the brakes on calling design running plays with our QB or else he's going to get him killed.
Willis is the QB I hoped the colts drafted. Some, like Mel Kiper said he would go first overall. He's some what a smaller version of AR. He may never make it as a NFL QB but the raw physical talent is definitely there. The Titans, imo, did a poor job of developing him. Fortunately for him, he's now with the Packers who have a good track record developing QBs. At the very least, he should be a viable gadget play QB.
A competent defensive game plan should easily shut down their run and force Willis to beat them deep with accurate downfield passes....... but a competent defensive game plan AND Gus Bradley don't usually go together.
