If Jacksonville is successful against our starting D on the ground, we're in A LOT of trouble. I just don't see it happening.

 

They haven't had a guy run for more than 39 yards yet this year (good for 2.8 YPC as a team). Our defense has held starting RB's to a combined 36 carries, 109 yards the past two weeks (3.0 YPC). We now have all 11 starters slated to play.

 

It's a blowout in Jacksonville's favor if they somehow manage to flip the script on the ground.

I'm not saying you're wrong. But I am saying that thinking 3 games is enough of a sample size to judge Jacksonville cant run is a Gambler's Folley. 

 

Same with any judgements on us. Know what I mean?

The Jags have no pass rush and they want to play zone defense.  I think Andrew is going to eat that stuff up to be honest with you.  The Jags made some plays on Green Bay with Julius Thomas but #1 he's a game time decision and #2 I think we have better cornerbacks than Green Bay.  Most of the plays they got with Thomas were against Quinton Rollins who I will not confuse for Vontae Davis or Cromartie.  I won't even confuse him for Patrick Robinson either.  If the Jags run well on us I think it will only be because of bad tackling.  If we tackle well I think we'll be just fine. We'll be fine on both sides of the football against this team.

People are quick to point out that people who doubt the Colts don't know the situation like we do, they are haters, they'll be shown up,blah blah blah. Then they talk about any other team and do the exact same thing they complain about.

That could be a problem, we'll see. I don't know what type of impact he'll have yet. No sample size. I know he's supposed to be a beast, time will show.

I think its likely that we will play Haeg at Tackle and Blythe at Guard like they did for a short time last week. I'm nervous about that one too because Blythe will get killed by Malik Jackson. If you go with Haeg at guard and Clark at tackle then I think you have to make sure Clark has help. Also need a greater emphasis on getting the ball out faster. Truly hope we can run the football today.

It's definitely a problem either way, I'd personally play Haeg at RG where he succeeded last week and give Clark help on the right side. It's bad either way though. At least Constanzo, Mewhort, and Kelly are fine and will do well.

And the fact that they are not choosing to start Clark at Tackle tells me where he's at in terms of his preparedness to play.

Looking for a big Day from our D, The Jags QB is pretty TO prone..... and their line is worse than ours possibly...

Definitely agree with this. It's off topic, but a compliment. In Fanduel, I'm not really starting anyone against this Colts defense. It seems like they are much improved now when healthy. We finally may have something.

Haeg is the real deal, G, or T....... Blythe will not be beat for lack of effort, he reminds me of AO Shipley..... size wise, we shall see

I dont feel good about scenarios that have him blocking Malik Jackson or having to pick up stunts and twists. Hopefully we can run the football and get some heavy play action today.

I wouldn't with AQ at G either, that's why I compared the two, other than physical traits, under weight, short arms, etc.....  both guys should only ever play C

Not too worried  on def our corners have locked up thier recievers in the past with toler Davis and butler and with no pass rush as well, now we have Cro Davis and Robinson plus Geathers roaming near los and green back deep with Adams..if they have too much success I won't know way to say lol

with Reitz and Clark inactive.......  who, other than Clark, is a Backup OL?  Harrison is out as well.....

 

its going to get real sketchy from there if we need either one of Clark and Vujnovich.

Some of this news reporting is so lazy. Boomer Esiason just reported how Allen Robinson would get like 7-10 catches on us for so many yards because we've given up 300 plus yards through the air every game and our secondary is depleted. Does he not know we are at full strength in the secondary? You did the home work on the stats but you did not bother to see who the personnel was?

    • It clearly isn’t all the line  in panthers land. Dalton had no issues. Young is small and meak. He gets swamped up. He isnt like Murray. If young had Murray’s body type he might be ok but he doesn’t. He looks like he don’t know what he is doing.
    • That is so far my third biggest gripe with SS.  First being his offense seems very vanilla.  We are approaching Frank Reich status here.   Second I don't think AR is making as much progress as he should be.   Third he seems to make very poor in game decisions and then takes the blame as if that is a huge testament to his character.   I could care less about character.  Just learn how to coach.  And when the clock is at 2:01 and you have a kickoff coming against a team with 1 timeout left?  You run the ball out of the endzone and you literally scream at your special teamers or your special teams coach to do that.   The fact that he didn't literally tells me he is a stupid person when it comes to football IQ. 
    • What did you think of Luck after his first 7 games? How about Peyton Manning? Josh Allen? Richardson has a higher completion percentage (54.8) than Luck ( 49.5) and Allen ( 52.8) through his first 7 games. And less than 5% completion percentage behind Manning (59.5). Richardson has more Yards per throw (7.4) than any of them (Manning 7.1, Allen 6.8 and Luck 6.5) . Richardson has a higher QB rating (72.7) than Manning (71.8) and Luck (65.9), and less than 4% points behind Allen (76.3). Sure..... Allen is the exception that proves the rule.... ok. Richardson's accuracy is the type of throws that CAN be fixed. Those short and intermediate throws are easier to fix than the deeper routes. And oh by the way, it's not like we havent seen him do it. He had a darned near 60% completion percentage last year in the games he played as a pure rookie. The guy is coming off of season ending surgery and had no offseason and you are writing him off..... give me a break.
    • Today AR is ahead, but he wasn’t when they were picked. Young WAS far more accurate in College. And he led a team to a National Championship.  That has to mean something.
