Just waiting on the regular season

 

Thank you for your vital contribution to this thread. I may start posting one word replies to threads to raise my post count.

 

 

 

I continue to be delighted with the Dorsett pick. Solidifying our future as well as diversifying our offense instantly.

I keep envisioning 1st down plays where we come out throwing...being really aggressive.  Luck settling in the pocket, Frank Gore picking up pass rushers, Dorsett coming out of the slot across the middle well ahead of his man, Luck hitting him in stride and he takes off for 25-30 yards down the sideline.  This is 1st down.  Pass first to setup the run when we need it.

Ideally, you would like for the opposing defenses to line up and see T.Y., Dorsett, and A. Johnson at WR, Frank Gore in the backfield and D. Allen at TE and think, they can do anything! We just have to try to contain them.

If you are having only one TE it should be Fleener IMO

You have to believe that the Colts talked to Edge when they were doing their homework.  Knowing that Edge was working with Dorsett explains a lot to me on why the Colts used a 1st rounder on him.  IMO the Colts respect Edge's opinion and it played a part in the rankings.  Like most I was surprised by the pick due to need but not unhappy with the quality player they got.

    • Lol. Sure, I meant he ALWAYS makes those mistakes. I think you’re smart enough to know that I meant he’s made those mistakes enough that it’s kind of alarming to me. If you’re not alarmed, cool. 
    • They do need an offensive mind, though. I said from the moment he was hired there that it was a move that was dead on arrival. Pairing a QB like Fields (and now Willams,) with a guy like Flus wasn’t productive for either side. Both of those QBs would benefit far more from having an offensive guy at the helm than a defensive one. A defensive coach needs to have a strong offensive staff in place to help those young QBs and Flus did not.    Fields is the perfect case in point: he landed in Pittsburgh with a defensive minded head coach who had a strong enough offensive support system to benefit him, and his career is starting to turn around for it.    Think of our own history, did the pairing of Andrew Luck with a defensive guy like Pagano do him any favors? Not really, and in the end it’s probably a big part of the reason that story turned out the way it did. 
    • Its the defense he plays in and they funnel the ball carrier to Franklin. Leonard had tons of tackles and I wouldn't make to much of it when grading Franklin. Cross, I believe leads the league in tackles. Are you saying he is the best safety in the league? Franklin is a rugged and tough line backer but poor in coverage.
    • I hear this but to my dying day I will maintain Payton far exceeded Smiths talent, and if Smith had to be on the garbage teams Payton was on for 80% of his career, he would be ranked in the 20s or 30s all time.  If Payton had Erik Williams, Larry Allen and Nate Newton blowing up d-linemen for him, he would have set the record impossibly high.    And once we add receiving and blocking ability the difference is even more stark.    Thanks, grew up watching WP… old man rant *off*
    • He is throwing some bad picks and all rookie qbs do, so I am not going to be that hard on him for those mistakes. The one thing that still impresses me is that he doesnt look lost out there. He is still making good reads but he just needs to calm down and make those simple throws. I truly believe that if he made those throws that 90% of qbs make. We would be saying he is having a pretty good year. If Richardson fails, I believe it wont be because of his ability to process. It will because after say three seasons or so, he is unable still to hit the broad side of a barn!!
