Colts Vs. Lions Preseason Game Day Thread

[Douzer]

I'm actually encouraged by what I've seen so far on the Defensive side of the ball. I saw way, way more good stuff than bad stuff.

 

Offense is clearly playing 1-15 football. Hopefully Ballard had a chance to see just how bad the O-line situation really is on this team. The starting O-line, with Andrew at the helm, is at best shaky. When the backups are called upon, it becomes a bumblefest.

You don't see our OL and defense getting beat off the ball and manhandled? Yes it's mostly back ups but we have looked flat no?

I see flaws that can be fixed but everyone is doing their best

That stuff allows deeper pass plays later in the game when the D cheats up.  That is basically a replacement for a running game, and darn good one too.  Beside, O's are vanilla right now.  No game planning, and no 'tape' for other teams for when the real season begins.  patience.  :-)

 

I added to my post. The game was not shown live in my area; so, I cannot answer your other questions. We should see more the next two weeks when the games will be televised live.

He made some good throws that were dropped. I believe there was a dropped TD in that game by either TY or Moncrief. The WRs were bad. 

Several good drives stopped by drops by both wrs. It's all good it was last year and I'm not a big Tolzien defender but he isn't awful...but no he isn't going to win you a lot of games on his arm...you hope he maybe only has to start a game or two here or there....not several games like we saw Hasselback have to do.

Then we need a new list

 

 

I'll bet Ballard and the scout team already have some acquisitions from other teams (being) scouted to take on cutdown day.  Chris won't overlook anything.  He's more relentless than Grigson (who did get that part right) at searching anywhere/everywhere for upgrades.  I think he has a better nose for it though than his predecessor.

I'm at a bar with no sound and it might have been mentioned already... But where is Stephen Morris?

Green filling a hole, good play

Walker had out played in practice should see him in the 3rd

Thanks.

Just disregard any of my posts if they are late watching the IAAF World Championships and might miss the start of the 3rd

If this is the TJ Green we will see all year, I'll be happy. He looks improved. Doesn't look nearly as out of control and he is making good tackles and hits.

I hope so...I see that too but I also see a team getting out played clearly at the point of attack...seeing as in the only one I'll just assume it's just me thinking I would see this team biting at the bit to get out there and put the wood on them.

[RomanianColtsFan]

Walker is not good. He should have thrown that pass to Howard a lot better.

Don Fisher is terrible for football commentary

[oldunclemark]

What bothers me is that Walker is a one-read, then run around and try to make something happen kind of QB.

 

That's college football and it wont work long term in the NFL

  I know he is bland and like 100 years old. Hell I am surprised we haven't had a few people say fire Chuck already in game 1 of Pre-Season

Walker or Luck lol......just kidding ha

[chad72]

Is Josh Freeman still available?

[Douzer]

Me... I'd say Morris seems better equipped to function behind the current O-Line than either Tolzien or Walker. I won't be surprised if he puts together some drives once he gets in.

I agree 100%. Morris is better than both IMO

Walker has moved above Morris on the depth chart. Morris should be in

LOL, yes. This summer, Freeman was evaluated to play for the CFL Montreal Alouettes during a workout in training camp. he didn't make the team.

Chris Ballard, during in-game interview, says Luck's strength is better now than it was at any point last season. Take for what worth.

We'd love him until we signed him

I really, really, really like Ballard!

Have we had decent field position to begin a drive yet?
