On to the Titans

[GoColts8818]

Lots of threads to vent your frustrations about the Rams game.  So if you want to do that use one of those please.  Even with the loss the Colts fall to 6-3 but if the Jags hang on vs. the Titans they will still hold a two game lead over the second place Titans.  Thursday will be the first of two games in three weeks with the Titans.  If the Colts can win those two games even with the blow out loss today they will be AFC South Champions even if it's not official yet.  By the same token if they don't get those wins the Titans will be in the drivers seat for the AFC South season.  So the Colts season in a lot of ways can be impacted by the two up coming games with the Titans.

Which player do the Titans need to have a break out game?  Colts let every team accomplish that.

The titans also lost today as I predicted. I don't know what they can do about the o line but just move on.

Yes, thanks you Jags!!!!!

At this point I think you have to look at how the Texans and Rams attacked us the past two weeks.  They sent EVERYONE.  So how do you counter that?  Well if a team is sending everyone no o-line can pick up everyone especially a sub par one like the Colts.  So you have to figure out how do you attack an over aggressive defense? You run plays like screens, misdirection plays, and draws.  You do things like that where they can't just pin their ears back and come. 

 

I also think you have to use the pass to set up the run rather than the run to set up the pass.  I also think you have to tell Luck it has to be snap and pass to his first and hot read.  He can't hold the ball like he's been doing.  I also think Luck needs to work on getting his passes down.  He's been wild high the last couple of weeks.  Guys can't make plays for you if you don't give them a chance.  No question not having Reggie is still hurting them and now we will have see if Whalen is okay after that shot today.  He was one of the few guys Luck seemed comfortable with.  So that's not going to help.  Look we have lost a LOT of skill players on offense, Ballard, Bradshaw, Wayne, and Allen.  You can only take some many hits in those areas before it has a major impact on that area.  I don't know if the Colts have the skill players they need to make a major run this year due to injury and that's before we even talk about the o-line.  With that said they can and should win this division and then deal with the playoffs when you are there.

 

On defense teams watched that Broncos game where it was highlighted that the Colts don't come out of their man defense.  The Texans and Rams have attacked that the past couple of weeks.  So now the Colts have to adjust.  Mix in some zone match ups to take away deep passes or teams are going to keep attacking you with it.  If the Colts can fix that I think our defense will be fine.  When teams have had to drive on us without the homerun ball in the past couple of weeks the defense has been good. 

 

On Special Teams there has to be a coaching adjustment in terms of returns.  It's one thing if a returner doesn't get to the 20 on a return and you don't like that if he brings it out it's a whole other if he can't even make it to the ten.  I think you have to tell Reed at this point if it's more than three yards in you don't care what he thinks he sees he has to take a knee because you can't keep giving up 10 to 15 yards in field position on returns.  The offense with all the skill players out just can't over come that.  Coverage I'll just chalk up to Austin being a pretty good player who made a heck of a play with some nice blocks.  Colts just need to clean that up and they will be okay.

I've got hopes for the game on Thursday and I come into it with positive thoughts but the team has to make adjustments for it.

Chris Johnson needs a big game if the Titans wanna win.

@jwyattsports: Indications are #Titans QB Jake Locker suffered a season-ending foot injury in today's game vs the Jaguars

@jwyattsports: Per sources, the #Titans believe Locker suffered a Lisfranc injury in right foot. More tests being done. Surgery is a possibility

Every team in the division (not that the Titans wanted or could have prevented their QB getting hurt) is going here Colts we don't want to win the South this year you take it...Colts need to take it...
