How are the Texans going to defend us?

[Coltsfanman1953]

Who do you think gets the double team? I think they will double team TY and I also think Fleener will step up big time.

[Coltsfanman1953]

Who gets double teamed? I thinkd TY get Doubled and that Fleener will show up big time.

[MFT5]

Why are you assuming someone has to get doubled ???

[HtownColt]

Like they play everybody else, they man up and Wade Phillips comes after you

[SkyBane]

Why are you assuming someone has to get doubled ???

This. There is no reciever on the Colts roster consistent enough for a double team.

Unless they fear Hilton going off on them again, it will likely be single coverage and stacked boxes that dare the recievers to make a play.

[Coltsfanman1953]

Ok, no one is getting doubled. Which receiver are the Texans going to try to take away, if any. Someone should get their best defender, who is that going to be? I still think TY.

[HtownColt]

Jonathan Joseph will be on DHB

Kareem Jackson on Hilton

[Coltsfanman1953]

Jonathan Joseph will be on DHB

Kareem Jackson on Hilton

Thanks.

[HtownColt]

Thanks.

Oh no no, don't quote me on that, that's just what I think is going to happen

[oldunclemark]

4-man rush and drop 7 most of the time..no need to blitz..spy Andrew scrambling

they'll dare us to run the ball..

You have that reversed. They will dare Indy to pass it because of the unknown quality at WR.

That's not Wade Phillips M.O not even a little bit. Wade Phillips is going to bring pressure that's just who he is

[oldunclemark]

Wrong, we're a bit questionable at RB..despite my man Donald Brown

You take no chances..be conservative defensive and don't dare Andrew to beat you..

,,.,..Without Reggie and Bradshaw and D. Allen...we're not going to be that hard to defend going forward

[oldunclemark]

It will be this week....They'll game plan us

...our best player is Andrew ..we're a conservative team so they'll sit back until its 3rd and long..

They'll spy Andrew becauser he likes to pick up key first downs with scrambles..

they dont want to attack and give us an opening..losing Reggie is impact-ful to say the least

Low scoring game

Did you miss the part about Wade Phillips?

[Coltsfanman1953]

Which receiver will have a big game in order for us to win?

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

TRich out of the backfield and Fleener, with Cushing out the middle of the field should be open.

[TKnight24]

Same way the Rams defended the Seahawks. Stack the box, blitz, & force the WR's to beat their CB's

[TKnight24]

Brian Cushing was out last year. Yes it hurts their defense, but they have shown they can manage without him

[oldunclemark]

You may be underestimating how much he meant to us

[In Luck We Trust]

look as long as JJ Watt is healthy, that defense is always a threat. Watt has been part of the big reason why the Texans defense has been so good these last couple of years. the way our pass protection breaks down sometimes could cause for some sacks by Watt. plus that kid Keenum he can play very well, i expect this to be a really close game, possibly going down to the final seconds. 

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

Brian Cushing was out last year. Yes it hurts their defense, but they have shown they can manage without him

But with Cushing out, that is without question the weak point of their defense.  They have a great D-line and two good outside corners.  We will need to take advantage of the middle.

[TKnight24]

After their defensive line, their whole defense is a weak point. None of their CB's (except maybe Joseph) can run with our WR's. Sure Ed Reed is back there, but we can still take a few deep shots now that our 1st three WR's are burners

We took JJ Watt out of the game last year in round 2 @LOS. We can do it again this year. Especially now that Cherilus is guarding him

[oldunclemark]

I'm not comfortable taking a lot of deep shots with Ed Reed back there...

..and that's not our offense.....

....we know each other very well...crippled offenszes...low scoring game...

[BronxColtNYC]

You don't know Wade. He's going to blitz every other play.

[BronxColtNYC]

Expect watt lines up in the DT position a lot of the time. Watt vs. mcglynn....yay!!!

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

They wont

[TKnight24]

That could get ugly.......

That's not a fair fight.. change the rules!

Looks old man Reed is still trying to adjust/get healthy.  14 tackles no ints, 0 passes defended, nothing else.  Plus he gets to play Luck who is better, with a lesser defense than last year.  He also said that look Luck is really good at disguising his plays as well (something to that extent anyway)

 

I do believe in true Phillips fashion he will blitz often, I just see alot of screens, check downs and short passing and let our wrs get yac

Ed Reed lost it in Baltimore, he cant find it

Questionable at rb besides your man Brown? Laugh out loud!

Btw, I'm surprised you haven't had a stroke yet with all the worrying you do. The week leading up to Denver was comical.

[Kenny]

I see a lot of single coverage challenging us to throw it without Reggie. The most they will do is put a safety over top TY.

[jbaron04]

Who gets double teamed? I thinkd TY get Doubled and that Fleener will show up big time.

Why would they double anyone , they gonna go single high or zero coverage and come after our below average oline , getting watt one on one coverage which he will most likey dominate , leading to a lot of pressure on luck , this is gonna be a def game colts win 20-13

[Balzer40]

The Texans haven't shown they can do much of anything so far this yr.. The Texans have been a fraud for yrs. now. They have a couple good players and everybody else is average to below average. In all honesty, the Colts should absolutely pound the Texans into submission, but in the NFL ya just never know. Any given Sunday, ya know!

[tenbears1971]

My money is on heavy pressure to get in Lucks face. Dial up screens / passes out of the backfield and draw run plays. This will not be a pretty game and this will be an opportunity for TR to show us that he wasn't a mistake. (I don't think he was but many here do. Discussed at nauseum.)

I was trying to be nice about it but since you put it so harshly I give up lol

I just tell it like I see it. If people get upset over it, they can get a box of kleenex and sit in the corner for all I care.
