Pass protection was great!

Our O-Line is going to be good. I liked what I saw as the game went along.

I like our starters.  I still have some reservations here or there about playing a team that blitzes a lot.  Skys the limit if we handle that well.   Didn't feel Detroit did too much blitzing.  We'll see a lot against the Broncos, but they may back that stuff up if Luck starts skinning them.

"#Colts left side duo of LT Anthony Castonzo and LG Jack Mewhort was particularly strong, allowing just one hit and one hurry combined."

The #Colts [o-line] allowed just 1 sack and 7 total pressures on 51 passing plays … ranks 4th … so far this week. https://t.co/9az9Lr4hV6

Yeah, all three were fouls. I am sure they missed some on the Colts too but the hit on Luck bothered me because weak or not you can't hit the QB like that when they give themselves up, again not so much because it impacted the game, it didn't really, but more so because of principal of the rule which is to protect QBs.

 Oliver Luck believes there may be something sinister going on.

Jack played an amazing game. Still looks hurt to me though. Hopefully we can get him rest between plays. Myself personally still have wait until week 3 of this year. We'll know what this team is all about then. More test are ahead for our team. Not just offensively, but our defense as well.

He's not going anywhere.  Let's see what Morrison can do more.

Honestly Moose did a good job yesterday highlighting on a passing play for a TD,to one of the running backs that DQ was telling Morrison the play was coming right at him and Morrison just couldn't get there.  

 

I also know several people covering the Colts have pointed out Morrison is more like DQ and not really built to cover.  I know Holder said at one point if you don't like seeing DQ covering tightends you really don't want to see Morrison doing it.

 

Honestly yesterday showed me just how much we miss Freeman.

Not really he is no better with the Bears , maybe when secondary is healthy they can use Geathers in some TE situations , but really don't know the answer . Morrison was pretty good overall for first game. Just think the missed coverage was inexperience.

    • This gets peddled like it means spending in FA doesn’t work. The Rams won a Super Bowl by spending. The Colts don’t spend and haven’t won bupkis since Ballard got here.    I not saying the Colts should just spend mindlessly and I don’t think that’s what anyone wants. But, Ballard’s gotta cover his draft misses by spending in FA otherwise we’ll never win with him at the helm.  
    • Agreed. Tom always brings thoughtful perspective to the forum and I enjoy reading his posts. 
    • Hey, Tom!    Good to see you posting again!    I know you like to show up this time of year to offer your insight.      As I like to tell you every year, I’m sure you’re posting as often as you can,  but I think many here would love to see you post more often!   This website is always better when you’re posting more!   
    • We, might... or we might not... or we might lose someone else to injury. It's just what happens in the league. If it's not one player it will be another. It's a violent sport and players will miss games.  You know how I feel about AR. I still think he needs improvements but the sky is the limit with him... I don't think there was anybody higher on him than me here. But first thing - he just needs to stay healthy.    Downs had a very promising rookie season. Hope he makes a jump in year 2 too...  Honestly. I'm not high on this TE group. The rumors about Woods are not great. Ogletree and Mallory IMO are JAGs at best. Which is OK for where they were drafted but they are not game changers. We need better... I guess if you believe in Brock Bowers we should be hoping he's there for us to take in the draft.  Cross will need to make the jump because it looks like we might be losing Blackmon. He had some flashes at the end of the year, but he still needs to show consistency over a prolonged period of time. I think Raimann is already very good. I'm not too enthused with the way Ballard has handled the DT position...    Steichen was already doing wonders with what he was given last year. IMO the hope is that AR stays healthy and is able to unlock the full potential of what Steichen envisions in his offense.
