First, I am not putting down Luck, He is my favorite player. There is no other QB I would rather have. I am just pointing out something I find very interesting from the Sunday night game against the Broncos, especially since we won. Luck was 5 of 15 for 29 yards in the second half. That is an amazing stat considering we won the game. I just didn't realize that until I went back and watched the game again. I still can't believe we won with those second half stats from our QB. If someone has already pointed this out, my apology, I just find this to be amazing

Goes back to my theory that the Broncos' D plays better without Champ Bailey, he is a liability. Didn't Bailey get hurt in the first half? The T.Y.Hilton almost TD would have been a sure fire TD if it was Bailey on him, DRC could keep up, Champ cannot anymore, that is a fact.

 

The fact that we won the game was mainly because our D harassed Peyton and that O-line of theirs, the bottom line that kept Peyton and that O from getting their rhythm constantly, IMO.

 

Broncos' D tightened up after the half and played better and 10 out of the 13 second half points for the Colts came off a turnover (INT when Peyton's arm was hit by Walden) and 2 dumb 15 yard penalties on another drive.

Amen. And this is the kind of balance that Irsay wants. I'll take a team win over our QB having to do everything any week of the season. Our defense was SCARY good, especially that front 7.

A lot of that can be attributed to the fact that the play-calling became (surprise) very predictable in the 2nd half when we began playing with the lead. Many of Luck's throws were under duress on a 3rd and long because of crap plays on 1st and 2nd down. And Luck of course took the tough throw for the whole yardage required for the 1st down because that is who he is for better or worse. Jumbo formation on 1st down with a handoff to Richardson or Brown gets a little obvious after the fifth or sixth time.

 

A bit of an exaggeration but my father and I were able to call the play multiple times before it happened on first down in the second half of Sunday's game, and we are not what you would call brilliant football minds.

The Broncos also moved the ball more and so maybe had greater time of possession in the second half. I also read that they made a half-time adjustment with the positioning of a safety that apparently the Colts had been taking advantage of.

 

Bailey has been ineffective, but DRC was injured in the first half. He only came back in because Bailey was injured.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
