LUVTHESHOE Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) heard him say it on his show. that in the second half we went toe to toe and actually out played the ravens. He added that he was impressed by the way our young guys are catching on to the defensive scheme. I ALMOST CRIED HEARING WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. A guy did get loose blaming BP for our problems asking a few hard questions, to which none were addressed. Got the the vibe coach will be back, what a joke. anybody else get anything different out of the hour of power?

coltsblue1844 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 last week, Bill said that our defensive "plan", is to allow the other team to catch all the 5-10yard passes that they want (but not allow any 20+ yard catches)...he said that by allowing so many shorter passes, we will be putting that many extra tackles on the other teams players, and they will be worn down by the 4th quarter and be more prone to make mistakes! I can only assume that he was being serious...which is VERY scary!By his own "plan", our guys would be more worn out than the other team's WRs anyhow lol what a joke!with all that said, i'm sure that there will be some of his supporters on here telling us that we're wrong for ever doubting Bill, because we won games in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy did get loose blaming BP for our problems asking a few hard questions, to which none were addressed. Got the the vibe coach dip chiz will be back, what a joke. anybody else get anything different out of the hour of power?Well, he spent most of his shows earlier this year blaming everything on the defense. Without actually naming anybody, you could tell that he was going to scapegoat Larry Coyer before the year was over with. He often used the word "baffled" when describing how bad the defense was.So it's only natural for him to praise everything the D does from here on out. He made a change to what he kept saying was the problem, so he's going to act like they are 100 percent improved for the rest of year. I don't care if they give up scores on the first 3 series and are in a 17-0 hole right off the bat, he's going to say they were great. It's Polian, thats how he works.According to him tonight, the thing that needs improving is our punting game. Yes, thats really what he said.

The Peytonator Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 You know, while watching the second half, I kinda felt like Bmore was just toying with our defense. It just seemed like they knew we were so inept offensively that they could do whatever they wanted. They really didn't try very many short easy completions in the second half. Those quick slants kill us, and offenses know they can slant us down the field whenever they need to. Bmore seemed to me like they were just testing out a different game plan.

Heck, that is what a good coach would do when he plays an over-matched an opponent. work on weaknesses and experiment. Irsay needs to clean house with Polian Caldwell and Clyde Christensen and then let new coach evaluate whether or not any of the other coaches deserve to retain their jobs....

deedub75 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Does he realize that a 10 yard pass usually results in a first down? Also, our tackling is so poor that a 5 yard pass usually turns into 10 yards. His plan isn't working because we are still getting beaten on long pass plays.

ColtsBlueFL Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 It's a dysfunctional defense because none of the things needed to make it work are in place. We all know we don't have an O that provides a lead or is capable of a quick strike to get back in the game. Further, we aren't getting great pressure with just 4 down lineman. Next, we are to have all 11 fly to the receiver of the 5 yd catch and stop the play, right there, but we aren't as we (last I looked) had the second most missed tackles in the league and the receivers are getting meaningful YAC. We are also supposed to create turnovers, (like the Bears do- strip the ball, or jump a rout in your zone, etc) but we are not.Basically, this D looks like a bend until we tire out and break defense. rinse, repeat.

Thewholefnshow28 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 People just need to stop listening to his show.If he truly believes that our defense is working then he is an senile old man who is out of touch with reality. This defense is putrid and has been for years, but that was ignored because we had Peyton out there to protect it.The more I think about it the more I feel bad for Coyer. The guy was an aggressive minded coach who wanted to have an attacking defense. Then he is brought into the Colts whose front office is meddling in the gameplans and is forced to coach a prevent type of defense. I seriously believe we will go 0-16 and everyone will be given a mulligan because of Manning. :79angryfire: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMissMarvin Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 (edited) Believe me, the Ravens are by no means an offensive powerhouse this year. I remember on Monday Night Football a few weeks back Jacksonville completely had their way with them and shut them down in unbelievable fashion. The Titans and Seahawks did the same thing! Tell me how against the Colts, this same offense looked like a well-oiled machine?Polian is making me sick with this crap. He has to be the most stubborn GM of all-time. Good thing for him Irsay has no guts. His defensive philosophy is ancient, his once stellar drafting has been an absoloute bust over the past 5 years, and what makes matters worse, he REFUSES to adapt any new stategies to a scheme that has been obselete for years now. He focuses all his top picks on offensive players (that have accomplished little to nothing without Manning) and he only drafts players defensively that fit this same ancient obselete tampa two cover scheme. It worked for Tampa because they had Sapp, Brooks, Barber and Lynch - one of the best defenses ever! We have nowhere near the talent they had in any aspect of our defense.
