Positives and Negatives Colts Vs Jets

[Rich Cannon]

Positives (1st two possessions)

1. Holmes walked off on his own power

2. Defensive 1st team looks good, good pressure against the pass, solid against the run (2 series first team)

3. I watched Nicks running crisp routes

4. Defensive play calling, much more aggressive (2 series first team)

5. Ty Hilton

6. Pass protection (first team looked good, 1 series)

Negatives

1.Back up center Harrison off with timing, but it's to be expected he's a rookie

2. Offensive line run blocking looked bad (first team)

It's still early first quarter but I'm excited football is here!!!!!

Kept saying Darick Rogers was going to make plays with Hassleback with their chemistry.

Nice 45 yd catch

[Bluefire4]

I think the run blocking looked good when Holmes was in.

[BlueCollarColts]

Run blocking wasn't bad when Holmes was in imo 

[Dustin]

Werner looks quicker. 

[SLILLINGTON10]

I thought the run blocking was looking good with Holmes in. Trent had a nice 9 yd run to start with what looked like a huge lane open down the middle and the second run looking like it had a good push and i think he picked up 4 yds. After Holmes went down it turned to garbage.

Yep. As soon as Holmes went out, we continued trying the middle but that's when it stopped. Before, we were getting push through the middle.

pass blocking looked good too

[B~Town]

boom for the score

[Rich Cannon]

Werner looks quicker.

He got off the edge real quick!!

[pgt_rob]

Bjorn Werner is playing great. He's every where

[pgt_rob]

Muamba looks great too.

[Warhorse]

Muamba looks great too.

He made a nice goal line stop just before the half. 

[Ja'Crispy]

My positives:

1) Werner looks good

2) Boom ran very well off those screens and dump offs

3) Muamba isn't afraid of contact

4) TY looks as quick as ever

Negatives:

1) Injuries

2) Injuries

3) Injuries

4) Satele

Oops sorry about Satele. Still a habit

[Rich Cannon]

Herron looks good to

[Dustin]

Boom Herron is a gawd.

anyone else think the 5 yard contact rule against eligible receivers should be illegal for someone like Josh Chapman?  see (I think) the 2nd play of the 2nd jets drive.  colts played a zone and chapman dropped back but got a "press" on Chris Johnson that knocked him to the ground. lol  

 

Really like what I've seen so far from Chapman.  He's been very stout and surprisingly agile.  on a sweep play to Johnson, Chapman kept the C from fully engaging him, followed the play to the outside and was the first one to hit Johnson.  I think it might have been Gordy that officially tackled Johnson but Chapman got the first hit.  

[HtownColt]

@HolderStephen: Good news: First report I've heard is that Khaled Holmes will be back at some point. Could miss time, but doesn't appear season ending.

[HtownColt]

@ColtsReporter: Daniel Adongo bicep injury, doubtful to return. I know a lot of #Colts fans were excited to see the former rugby star.

[pgt_rob]

Injuries man... It's like a never ending story. Oh well.

Studebaker is baking up some nice tackles too. I liked him last year on ST's.

[Drew1023]

Let's all hope Holmes recovers quickly because the O-Line looked horrible without him in and I don't see how the Colts have any type of successful season without their starting guard and center.  If he's out for an extended period might want to consider starting Hassleback and protecting the franchise quarterback.  Outside of that I thought it was overwhelmingly positive.

[Nobody]

Overall been mightily impressed

[HtownColt]

Another positive:

@KBowenColts: Dwayne Allen tells @ColtsReporter that he won’t be on the team flight back tonight. He’s off to Clemson for graduation on Friday.

So far in this game I think he looks better as an ILB than OLB.  I agree, he's played well tonight.

Are you saying to bench Luck for the season if Holmes is hurt?

[grmasterb]

Is Harnish even worth a practice squad spot anymore?

[BlueShoe]

One positive is that Chandler Harnish makes Curtis Painter look like an All-Pro Super Bowl MVP. 

[Poster X]

Muamba is the team mvp in game one. 10+ tackles. Werner has stepped up his game, and the offense moved well.

[ruksak]

Pretty sure he meant preseason. 

[TKnight24]

Nope, cut the bum

[James]

Is Harnish even worth a practice squad spot anymore?

 

No, he isn't. Dude is horrible.

[BlueShoe]

I am trying to keep this thread positive. So I will say that Harnish has stayed consistent.

Your guy Werner took a few steps toward making me look like the worst talent evaluater on this website. His rush looked much faster and more concise, but his drop-back coverage appears to still need a great deal of work. Either way, I was pretty excited to see Vern having a notable presence.

[Drew1023]

Let's just hope that Holmes isn't hurt than it won't be an issue.

I just ordered a Harnish jersey. My plan is to attach it to my vacuum cleaner in hopes that it will suck a lot harder. The idea seems solid in theory. 

[TKnight24]

...... He's hurt. Didn't you see him leave the game?

[TKnight24]

I don't feel it's FAIR to the backups who have Harnish at QB. How are our WR's supposed to show their skills with a pathetic QB?

[Drew1023]

...... He's hurt. Didn't you see him leave the game?

 

I meant for the season.  That he recovers in time to start the season.  My apologies for not making that clear.

[Loneranger]

Same old TRich, 2.6 yards per carry. This guy just isn't going to get it done.
