Fire Pep Today

[throwing BBZ]

This, combined with Pryor's run ability. That read-option is killer right now. Do I think this will fizzle out in a few years like the Wild Cat? Yes, but that's not to take away from Pryor's athleticism. I think a lot of us here anticipated a much closer game than the talking heads. God Bless Antoine Bethea too

 

Bethea did a great job just standing there.

Thanks Pryor for the dumb sack and bad pass. Remind you of last season any?

[Danfish98]

A bit early in the year to clinch the dumbest thread of the season award isn't it?  Colts had many problems today but play calling wasn't one of them.

[YOUR GM]

This thread is a joke, but I agree about all the power formations being annoying. Enough with all the 2 back stuff. That's not our strength right now

[Restored]

To be good at something in the long run, it probably should be practiced repeatedly in the short term. Yes the power formations were a but annoying in their pure lack of effectiveness., but it's part of what the Colts want to build. And when it's great, the results are what you would see in the Colts first two drives.

Our run game was just fine, we averaged 4.8 ypc with only 1 negative run play on Bradshaws 1st run

[BPM_Colt]

 That is all.

I always thought they should have hired you instead. What were they thinking going with the guy that has already worked with Luck???

[Andy]

Grab a clue.

 

This is overreaction at it's finest. 

[JlynRN]

I wondered how long it would take someone to start a thread like this.  Not long obviously  LOL.  But to call for firing someone after the 1st season game???  Please, give it a break already !!!

[krunk]

The blocking was relatively ok in the first half and after that I don't know what happened.  I think if they would have utilized more screens against those blitzes things would have been a bit better.

[Smonroe]

This thread is a joke, but I agree about all the power formations being annoying. Enough with all the 2 back stuff. That's not our strength right now

 

I agree, the thread is a joke.  But Pep called a pretty bad game, especially in the second half.

 

He has to make a team pay if they're rushing two and three DBs on blitzes.

[deedub75]

While I think you are COMPLETELY overreacting I never liked the signing of Pep. The whole get him because Luck will be comfortable I was not happy with. Staying "comfortable" killed our team in the Jim Caldwell era. A new GM and a new head coach would have put us in a different spot instead of promoting the "comfortable" choices.

 

But let's let the season play out..

 

I'm not sure they got Pep just to make Luck comfortable.  Luck was already comfortable.  It's just too early to judge him.

[Malakai432]

Our run game was just fine, we averaged 4.8 ypc with only 1 negative run play on Bradshaws 1st run

+ Luck completed 78% of his passes... I thought that's what people wanted???? 0 turnovers also. Ballard did play well as you said.

For some reason the O did fizzle but it will only get better. I thought the OL made some big time bone headed mistakes. AC botched some big time blocks he should've had.

For the most part I really liked what I saw from the WRs, TEs, RBs, minus some terrible OL play @ times.

[GoColts8818]

I'd rather not fire him but I would like him to work with Luck on reading a blitz pre-play though.  He looked lost vs. it most of the game. 

[BlueShoe]

Good. Hope the information stops here.

 

I think we found us a regular Colts Insider. I hope he can give us the scoop after every game. 

[Nadine]

OMG

 

Seriously? 

[amfootball]

You are not going to see from Luck what you saw last year with Arians. Less boom and less bust too. Work in progress. Andrew seemed to have issues reading the blitz. Not sure why.

[Fx Stryker]

I'm not sure they got Pep just to make Luck comfortable.  Luck was already comfortable.  It's just too early to judge him.

 

I mean the whole familiar with/comfortable thing.

[MTC]

[George Costanza III]

Pep's not pass blocking for the Colts and no one else is either.

OL Coach come to work with fully charged Taser's because after an offseason of WE MUST PROTECT LUCK.

The OL line didn't get the message nor did the Off. Cord. because calling for long passes when you can't protect

is STUPID.

Hey Pagano next practice spend it rushing ELEVEN all day until you find some pass blockers, even if it takes all

year because you are going to lose LUCK. You can see it coming!!!!!!!

[deedub75]

I mean the whole familiar with/comfortable thing.

 

I understand what you're saying.   I think Pep was brought in to make Fleener comfortable. 

[GoodLuck]

I find it quite funny that for someone quick to play the personnel attack card you choose to pick on my nationality.

At least I stick to ridiculing your hyperbolic statements, after all is this not a (debate) forum.

LOL, that soccer thing stayed with you huh?

[Luther]

another blabla tread .

 

If you have fire in you,re mind,let it burn...nothing to loose.

[superrep1967]

 That is all.

Pep will turn over the offense to Luck eventually

[SteelCityColt]

LOL, that soccer thing stayed with you huh?

No just pointing out your inconsistency.

[throwing BBZ]

 That is all.

 

People hated Arians predictable stacked offense early last season.

 

What about the son of a gun who gave them Satelle, McGlynn and kept Castonzo at LT?

[PrincetonTiger]

Uggh

[Fx Stryker]

I understand what you're saying.   I think Pep was brought in to make Fleener comfortable. 

 

[stat2883]

that's actually just as much on the QB and WRs

[FicmanS]

Pep got a live look at the NFL today, I expect he will step up.  He better

[SteelCityColt]

He's coached before in the NFL?

[JWF]

I don't think our offense is ever going to be flashy under Pep. Its going to take some getting use to from the fans too. Our offense under Peyton and Arians last year was pretty wide open.

 

We ran the ball pretty well and Luck was efficient. I think it will be fine. We do need to probably do more to help the O-line but they'll get better I think.

[jvan1973]

That is all.

worst thread ever nominee

[jvan1973]

I understand what you're saying. I think Pep was brought in to make Fleener comfortable.

really?

[SteelCityColt]

worst thread ever nominee

Oh I dunno it's been a highlight reel on here lately. Couple of outstanding contenders for LVP (Least Valuable Poster) too.

[jvan1973]

Bethea did a great job just standing there.

Thanks Pryor for the dumb sack and bad pass. Remind you of last season any?

do you ever have anything positive to contribute?

[Buck Showalter]

I swear, & I`ve said it a million times,  that guy never has a ton of int`s but whenever he does it is always in the endzone or a TD saving pick...

would love to see an actual stat on that

[ruksak]

Pep Hamilton couldn't tackle for squat today. 

[GoodLuck]

Pep Hamilton couldn't tackle for squat today.

He helped tackle TY Hilton pretty good

[TKnight24]

[ruksak]

He helped tackle TY Hilton pretty good

He called his number. Pass was overthrown, another I thought was PI but it was dubiously deemed incidental. TY was well covered. I actually thought Pep called a decent game, but was a bit disappointed that we didn't see some no-huddle.
