I'm worried that he knows too much. Have we made major adjustments from last year? Can we make a different game plan? If we can get Donald Brown going. We can mix it up and confuse the defense. I know that our defense can disrupt Carson Palmer. He's not the greatest threat bit has good wide recievers.

Btw, will Toler be back?!

Not much.  He is familiar with the capabilities and tendencies of Luck, Hilton, et al. but the schemes are totally different. 

 

I'm more concerned about his knowledge of our defense.  That is more or less unchanged from his time here.

 

And yes, Toler will play on Sunday.

  The Colts 2013 offense is nothing like the Colts 2012 offense

 

  The Colts 2013 offense is unlike most NFL teams

I'm surprised you asked this given the complete change around of philosophy since Pep has come in, BA knows as much about current O playbook as he would any other team, i.e. film study.

 

In fact I'd argue he would know more about the D scheme given we at least have consistency of coordinator there and his interim elevation would have meant more interaction with Manusky during games.

ummm this is a whole different scheme were running. Arians loves to go down field as for hamilton loves to run and run west coast type deal with a little deep throwing in the playbook

Not sure at all. I thought I saw an update that said he would play earlier this week.  I could be way off.

I hope you didn't take offense.  I come to this board for several reasons but one of the main reasons is because the fans on here link and find things that I could not or don't have the time too look for, so I really was just asking for information.

Arians knows Luck's progressions, he knows what he thinks when he reads coverages and he will know how to exploit that.  Just like Manusky in San Diego knew his brother's tendencies on defense and was able to exploit that knowledge.

 

 

He doesn't know his progressions in this offense.....and without Reggie..

 

...we don't take chances the way we did (sucessfully) with Bruce as coach..

 

We have less TDs but less turnovers....

 

......Keep in mind../Luck isn't playing with the same skill players he was with last season...

 

Brown was hurt..so was Fleeenr....DHB wasn't in Indy..Neither was T Rich or Havili

 

..and the offensive structure is different.

 

We just are NOT the same team we were in 2012...we won then and we're winning now....we're just not the same

You have reason to be worried, but not because of what Ariand knows about our offense.  It has everything to do with our crap O line and how Todd Bowles runs his D.  He uses heavy A gap blitzes which will destroy our g - c - g and put pressure right up in Lucks face.  I think the Cards have 17 sacks on blitzes and 9 picks while blitzing.  When Wayne was healthy, Luck was at 65% completion on blitzes.  Since Wayne has been out, Luck is 36% completion on blitzes.  Nobody blitzes more than the Arizona Cardinals.  They blitz slightly more than 50% of the opponents drop backs. Now, you have reason to be worried.  And it's not Arians, unless you want to talk about their O...

In bold^^^

 

I am not sure if WE even are remotely comfortable with the progressions with new receivers and running backs in the picture.

 

We need to find a rhythm from here until the end of the season...we need to find that next man up we are 'famous for.'  I has yet to transpire with Reggie down.

Wait, don't you mean John Pagano?

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Appreciate the response.   A few thoughts to share….   i think Irsay only steps down IF his health deteriorates.  No use in comparing him to Kraft, his health appears to be better even though he’s much older.     But if Irsay stepped aside, here’s why I don’t see the daughters blowing things up and starting over.   If they fire Ballard — fine.  But if they also fire Dodds and Brown, at that point, I think you’d see the rest of the scouting department resign (if they weren’t fired too).  They will all get good jobs elsewhere too.     At that point, Steichen is surrounded by very few who know him.  Worse for the daughters…. There would then be a clear line.   With Irsay vs with the daughters.  And if the new GM doesn’t do well and things go south, then the blame won’t go as much to the new GM as it will to the daughters who decided to blow things up.   They’ll be the focus of incredible hate if the new regime makes fans long for what looks like the good old days of the Ballard years.      The argument for not hiring Dodds or Brown seems to be little more than Ballard-hate.  Those people want nothing more to do with anyone associated with Chris Ballard.   Guilt by association, not because of ability.      Thats why I described hiring one of Dodds or Brown as the easiest, simplest, cleanest move to make.  Much less risk.  But blowing it up and starting over is the far higher risk move.  Threading a tiny needle hoping to get it right.     By the way, if you fire Ballard and company and hire a new GM, who does those interviews?   Honestly, who?   Who would you feel good about conducting the interviews of the new GM?      Firing someone is easy.  Hiring the right person is really hard.    Thanks for your patience.

      I just want to be on record now. If the Colts fire Ballard for whatever reason in the next few years, I have no clue what direction they will go. Just wanted to get that out there in case any of you were wondering my opinion on this.

      Colts Audio Network to Debut: “The Move”

      By AwesomeAustin · Posted

      I understand there are a lot of people that don’t know the story. I for one am burnt out on it. I do find it funny they “stole” the Ravens from Cleveland but whine about the Colts leaving. Sports bring out the best homers and team spirit.

      Colts by 17. Going to be a rough week for you buddy.    Thats a joke. I have no idea but would probably lean towards the Packers winning if I had to choose. I do think it’s great you may have transitioned to a third franchise QB in a row. I hope Love has a great career for you guys. Always had a soft spot for the Packers and they would probably be my team if I didn’t love the Colts. I enjoy it when you guys are good. Best of luck this year!!

      Packers have a pretty strong and balanced team. The defense was able to hold the Chiefs to a low score last year while the offense was perhaps the only one to score over 24 points on the Chiefs defense.    But really it’s hard to say as of right now. Let’s see how everyone fares during training camp and after their season openers. Lots of things can change.
