Pass Rush [Merge]

[chad hugo]

Even before the injuries, our pass rush needs to be addressed quickly. With a player like Mathis on the sidelines coaching him, i would expect Werner to have learned some new moves but he tends to disappear on plays.Gotta give credit to the steelers O-line, amazing protection all game long but Grigson needs to address this issue before the trade deadline. 

[MTC]

I thought Vincent Butler would fix it, but apparently not. 

[chad hugo]

yup and i was hoping to see something from Newsome as well 

[Kamikaze]

Werner also got beat on that last touchdown smh. I seen him pass coverage way too much in this game. You don't put liabilities in pass coverage when you can't get any pressure on the qb. We need to be on point in the draft and next years free agency.

[tenbears1971]

Pittsburgh did their homework. Our pass rush to this point has been mainly through zone blitz packages - and not anyone beating their man one on one. Big Ben today and any other top tier QB the rest of the season will expose this.

Without Mathis there isn't an elite pass rusher on the team and Gosder at tackle is going to get our QB knocked out for the season.

Positive note to end on : Moncrief is the real deal. By the end of the game you could see the respect he was starting to get (the TD where Hilton was open on the corner comes to mind)

[James Harden]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I been saying it all week. I'm not sold on Walden or Werner. We need a superstar like Mathis. 

[Stephen]

unfortunately there are no super stars to be had this year

[Derakynn]

Really didn't help that Walden was out most of the game too.

The pass rush was just terrible.  Those guys pitched a perfect shut out on us, which I didn't see that coming at all.

We couldn't get pressure no matter what we did.

Their o line was amazing. We sent 5-6 people on more than half the time and hardly got a finger on Ben.

This is sarcasm right?

[MTC]

This is sarcasm right?

 

yes.

[SLILLINGTON10]

even our blitzes today were terrible.. sad performance

[SOMDColtsfan]

I saw one play where Walden just stood there holding hands and dancing with an O lineman. And Ben just stood back in the pocket all day to throw and no pressure. Setting the edge? More like sitting at the edge..and doing nothing on a pass play. Disappointed in their effort today

with no true pass rusher , this will always happen

[pgt_rob]

I'm sorry but I don't think Robert Mathis would have even got to Ben today. There line wasn't giving up one bit.

[Dark Superman]

I disagree. Mathis is a beast.. And he's twice as good as any we had out on the field today.

[Dark Superman]

Aldon Smith to the Colts please..

Hard to believe 7 weeks in only 1 QB had been sacked more the Ben .

[krunk]

I guess this was just one of those nights. Just like Pats vs Chiefs a couple weeks ago, at least I'm hoping!

[Quallenregen]

Wow....one game, the pass rush doesent works and we have the end of the world...

 

O line....desaster,D line desaster,

Luck sacks , Luck interceptions,

playcaling desaster,

injury desaster.

 

Yesterday,all things go the right way for loss

 

fire all :heh:  the end is near.....

[NagelHausForge]

Are you purposly mis-spelling "Disaster"? 

[Mr.Debonair]

The play where Redding is at Ben's feet and he just looked down, hopped over and threw it down the field for a big play typified the day

[cm43sports]

Yeah, that was just heartbreaking. The Colts finally got a little bit of pressure and began to collapse the left side of the pocket only to see Ben move five feet to the right and wing it downfield for a 50 yard touchdown to Antonio Brown.

[chrisfarley]

Their o line was amazing. We sent 5-6 people on more than half the time and hardly got a finger on Ben.

Their o-line was like a picket fence.  Size wise, we need to get bigger.  Their o-line visually was so much more athletic looking and much larger than ANYONE save chapman.  Chapman just looked overweight compared to their athleticism. 

[ProblChld32]

Pass rush was well, NOT THERE. i was extremely disappointed in the defensive performance and losing Vontae did not help at all. Simply put they outplayed us and were much more physical and we got exposed.

Hard to believe stat. #colts D credited with 1 QB hit on Big Ben on 49 dropbacks.

Congrats, Jonathan Newsome. @rtv

[Indycrazy1287]

Yeah. The only person I saw get a few pressures was Newsome. He couldn't get there, but he made Ben move and that was better than the rest of our Dline did lol. Since Grigson does like trading....Vic Beasley anyone? ;)

[mintor]

Do you even watch football? Dude threw for 400 yards with horrible protection all day. Maybe it was the D giving up 6 TD passes that was the problem, huh?
