I like to see what mathis can do now that dwight is no longer here to demand double teams.

Mathis has had his share of double teams. And if they double team Mathis, who's gonna stop Chapman? If they double team Chapman, who's gonna stop Redding? If they stop Redding, who's gonna stop Walden?

You only get 5 offensive lineman. Someone has to play one on one

history has shown when mathis is getting all the attention, hes not as effective. guys like werner and walden are gonna have to beat their man and take the pressure off of mathis

I sort of get what you are saying, but Mathis had a nice year last year while DFree was out/ineffective...hence, he still performed while receiving the majority of attention. I think being at OLB instead of DE actually helped in this regard (in years past under the old scheme he did struggle).

 

Oh, and OT, that facemask is gnarly...love it RM!

And they will. Redding did well with drawing doubles last year. Like I said, you only get 5 offensive linemen

look at the super bowl in 09. look at the 07 playoff game vs the chargers

2 games? And after a rough start, the Saints went 3 step drop quick pass...there really wasn't much Mathis could do.

I asked because somebody made the claim a couple years ago that Mathis' numbers were the same if Freeney was playing or not.

      Jonothan Taylor and the run game.

      By stitches · Posted

      The run game is dependent more on the blocking than on the ability of the back. Thus... I'm having hard time evaluating Taylor's performance when the OL was having trouble creating push and gaps.   And that's one of the reasons you don't pay RBs big money. Yes, they are fun to watch and some of the best athletes out there... But they are some of the most dependent on other players positions.

      2024 NFL Season -- Week #1 All Around the NFL game discussion

      Glad I didn't bet. I thought the 4.5 would be enough. It was a close game, but you can't not score TDs when you get in the Red Zone. That is also why the Packers lost to the Eagles.   McVay and LaFleur are very tight. Perhaps they should converse about their red zone issues in week 1. Because that needs to change.   I don't want to talk Packers Colts until we know who the QB will be. Probable it will be Malik Willis, but that is not a certainty yet. If it is Willis, he has a skill set that can be used to exploit Indy's defense. Malik has elite arm strength and he can stress a defense with his feet.   Defense will win the game. And I think the Packers D is superior.    The game is in the Packers house. The Packers are also coming into this game wanting blood after what happened in Brazil. This will not be an easy game for Indy. Those that think this game will easily go Indy's way because J-Love is doubtful, are in for a rude awakening.

      Hypothetical

      By Mikemccoy84 · Posted

      With Downs getting ready to comeback and the colts now seeming to have lots of weapons on the outside does anyone else think we could see a package where they push Michael Pittman inside to play some tight end on passing downs? This doesn’t seem like a huge downgrade in blocking over Granson and would be a definite speed and route running upgrade.
