Run Luck Run.

[Dark Superman]

I really hope to see Luck extending plays and drives with his legs this weekend in New England. I think we need to take full advantage of having a QB who is more than capable for scrambling, and breaking off for big gains. If Luck can take care of the ball, maintain protection, and extend plays with his legs, I think our chances at defeating the Patriots are that much better.

Unleash Luck. Please!!

[Mr.Debonair]

I say this at least 3 times a game

[Luck-Fan12]

I agree

[bababooey]

Remember what he did in the Green Bay win as a rookie following Coach Pagano's diagnosis? More of that please.

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

Need to be selective on who he runs against. I can see the pats trying to hurt him. If he scrambles then it will be easier for them to just "tackle" him hard.

[Steamboat_Shaun]

Ditto.

He's 240 lbs., has no injury history and it's deep in the playoffs.  Time to let him be a football player.

Exactly. This is the AFC Championship. You go all out.

[lollygagger8]

I would love to see the play where Luck ran it in for a would be TD but Holmes got called for a hold. 

 

Did I see some actual read option there? (I'm going off memory) 

[dgambill]

I think he has to put pressure on the defense. If he is able to hold "hostage" a defensive player like a safety or lb from being in coverage or blitzing it is definately to our advantage. I don't think you design plays for that but you definately tell him...hey...before you just throw up a prayer or force it in look at your surroundings....you never go broke taking a gain. If you take what the defense is giving you your going to keep the down and distances managable and hopefuly force them into changing things up opening up the field for your receivers. He is a very smart runner....trust your instincts. Time to go for broke.

I'm convinced!

Yup.

[Smash Mouth]

I would like to see him convert a couple of 3rd downs with the run.  Its demoralizing to defenses

[indyagent17]

Exactly. This is the AFC Championship. You go all out.

I totally agree, Win and you are in. I don't want to see anyone get hurt but its time to put everything on the table. I would love to see Pagano pull a successful stunt against Uncle Bill. its time to prove that Belichick is not the only smart coach in the league 

[will426]

I hope he does this especially knowing that the line of the pats are strictly big bodies not very quick at all.

[ThatOneColtFan]

I'd be ok with Luck running it more, he's really good at it and even slides prematurely (there are times when he can get more yards but goes down to avoid any unnecessary contract).

[jayt327]

I wish Rodney Harrison was still playing so Luck could truck him on one of his scrambles

[Narcosys]

Exactly. This is the AFC Championship. You go all out.

Then we fail in the SB. We'll be just like after cinci. But then again, beating the pats in the afccg is a win enough. Like back in 06'

I didn't say purposely get hurt, but in the playoffs it's win or go home. You have to do everything you can to win THAT game.

[LockeDown]

I agree.  Time for Luck to run.  On every 3rd down, Pats need to be afraid that he's gonna run.

[lollygagger8]

Yup.

 

We need to do that more. 

 

Keep those LB's guessing!! 

[jabbanobadda]

I wouldnt care if he ran it 50 times this game....as long as we win...!!!!1

[HOZER]

Exactly. This is the AFC Championship. You go all out.

I know this sounds crazy, but to me this game is more important then whatever happens after. Yes another ring would be sweet, but to beat these guys in thier house...........priceless!

I'm glad we got that freak of nature, and athletic beast Jamie Collins and Chandler Jones to chase him down.. they have defensive back speed and athleticism which is rare but extremely beneficial especially chasing down mobile quarterbacks.

[Football Knowledge]

He wouldn't do that to Brandon Browner or Big Bad Dont'a running Hightower.

[Superman]

I don't understand how Browner got this reputation as some kind of physical enforcer. All he is is a big, grabby corner, who is barely average in coverage. Luck has 20 pounds on him. My money would be on #12.

[mystrymaster]

Honestly 1 naked bootleg will be enough for me because it will be enough to keep the linebackers guessing.

[RandomFan]

I don't hate the patriots more than I love winning....So I have to disagree. 

[krunk]

I think we will see Luck do more of this on Sunday.  The Ravens were killing the Pats using that Kubiak

bootleg that they(Texans) used to do Shaub all the time.  Luck used to run a variation of it in college quite

a bit.

[krunk]

Just in general my gut keeps telling me we will be able to run the ball effectively on New England this Sunday.

[Jay Kirk]

Just in general my gut keeps telling me we will be able to run the ball effectively on New England this Sunday.

I agree with that , wich spells trouble for the Pats.

[Superman]

Having Allen back is a major factor, I think. He only played 14 snaps last time.

[ricker182]

I completely agree with you. The Super Bowl to me has always been icing on the cake. They make too much of the game it takes away a lot of meaning to me.

[Dark Superman]

They're both extremely talented.. The Patriots have guys who can get to the QB.. I'm interested to see how this revived Colts line plans to stop them on Sunday

[Esquire59]

Wow. Been praying for Luck to use his speed and power running the ball for months. Understanding it's to be saved for the needed times. Sunday is that time. 50-65 yards is well w/i 12s wheelhouse. We can win this way.

[SteelDragon]

I had the same idea. I want to see the Colts go all out, even if it means on the strength of Luck's legs. It's critical that we score touchdowns in the red zone. It's critical that we have long, sustained drives. It's critical that we keep our defense fresh and not subject them to being bludgeoned to death by Blount and Gray. If we lose because those guys get 40 carries and 200 yards again, i'm going to be sick!

[Jeffrey Jeff]

true I 'll be sick if Pats RBs run 200yds on us again,We simply can t allow that  again,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 And  I want to see Luck run multiple times,that'll really keep the Pats off balance,,,,,,,,

I m right with u brother

Who says Hasselbeck can't lead us to the Lombardi trophy?

[Narcosys]

Him and Moncrief work pretty well together.
