Exactly it is his right lol but let's not turn this into a debate  it'll get hectic on the forum

Spence has been solid so far!

Or backup QBs like George Blanda

Sure you're right PT..

 

He used to come off the bench in the second half...lead the old Raiders down the field and boot the winning FG

Kenny Golladay looks impressive for the Lions

Scott Tolzien sounds like Sam Bradford for us. But Vikes fans seem to like him a lot.

Sam Bradford is like 10 times the qb and playmaker of Tolzien.

Some were acting like he should maybe play ahead of Tolzien...all I was implying was that would be a disaster.

Honestly, if he gets more reps in practice and plays pre-season with the 1's I think he has a chance to settle down.  I think I'm done with ST if he doesn't do better in the 2nd pre-season game.  Go with the kids.

When you have a killer D, you need a good QB that minimizes turnovers (even at the expense of less exciting huge plays).  Colts D isn't there, yet.

 

BTW, as much as I predicted Sam would be good for Vikes in short notice last year, the whole setup this year means I expect major improvement in Bradford's game this year... IF... Vikes O line does their job.  You'll see... :-)

Apparently he has been a monster in camp as well

[RockThatBlue]

Golloday is going to be a good WR. Wow 

[coltsfan77]

See the DB guru is really got some work to do!

[chad72]

Makes me wonder about the DB whisperer and the secondary coaches when different CBs continue the same mistakes 

[will426]

So my question is if this guy is abusing put hooker over the top? Or do we not know how to adjust lol

Lol. Not with me. I just ignored it before. Cause my care meter registered a ZERO

Everything is happening against KG

I know, I know...but he is so gun shy. He does not want to throw the ball deep. What good is he if he won't take chances. At least take some chances in preseason when the result does not count.

 

Also, he is not a "playmaker"

[coltsfan77]

Agree!!

I don't recall playing the Browns last year

Browns, Jags... Does it matter?  

 

Okay, so we needed a huge comeback against one of the worst teams in the league in game 16 just to hit .500.

This isn't going very well, is it?

[OffensivelyPC]

Is Mack out or  what?

[PrincetonTiger]

Another Lions injury

Tolzien will keep you in the game and keep it close enough to have a shot to win....Walker would make a few splash plays...but would have you down 21-24 to nothing before you blinked. He isn't disciplined enough to just take what the defense gives you. Maybe in a couple years he can grow into that backup role.

True but he's not a backup...and he's paid 10 times what Tolzien is

[PhillyCOLTSfan]

My man hooker with the open field tackle, good to see still remember the Landry days of missed open field tackles

Have never been concerned with Preseason or in my case IHSAA Scrimmages/Jamborees

Not very encouraging.  

[coach kline]

Not much improvement yet

I respect your knowledge, DG, but you can see that from 15 snaps into his career??  Wow.  You're good!!!

True words..I was at one Friday night..

I think. He had a shoulder injury through camp.

Who / What?

 

The latest news on Hyder, very bad news for Lions. Dr. Chao thinks it is ruptured Achilles.  That's surgery and a trip to Injured Reserve.

Colts ball

First. 

 

Starting Walker isn't a real option. Second Tolzien cannot keep a game close. Just stop. He has shown nothing in his play that suggests it either. He is a bad player.

Bradford is too conservative. I think he makes the OL look worse than what it is. Last year, he was only the 11th most pressured QB (Luck was 28th or so); yet, you would swear he was the most pressured.  

 

Watch the game next Friday on NFL Network. We play Seattle.

Because he had no line to protect him long enough...He came in late and was told to give his defense a chance to put them in a position to win. He can be a playmaker by getting the ball to the right guy at the right time...He has a good arm...much better than Tolzien.

[RomanianColtsFan]

What a stupid idea these sideline interviews are. You can't see the game because they ask Darius some irrelevant questions and they want us to see his shoes.
