Dorsett got trucked by one of our own players, lol.

I'm glad Turbin was re-signed.

They've never played a regular season snap yet together. The 4 came from 4 different teams. They will be handled a few times in real games before they will get used to each other and gel.

 

This team won't shine from game one. It is disheartening, but it is what it is. We knew this.

Agreed. I just want to see a flash out of someone. Even if it's just a series.

[Johnny U.]

When Luck gets back the offense will stay on the field longer. I hope.

[JRnINDY]

Why was Mack not in there getting the screens?

[relkins]

Tackling is still an issue

Got tackled by the turf monster earlier

We have some nice pieces I think. If Clark goes well at RT and Moncrief and Dorsett stay healthy, our offense can be very good when Luck and Kelly come back and on form. I think Mck is going to bring another dimension too.

Wondered the same thing.

Bob Lamey reporting Quincy Wilson out......Knee is wrapped.

Morris and Walker will probably stay on the field longer I bet.

[relkins]

Like to see more of Mack

Too funny.  But he did have a catch, so I can't laugh too much.

(can I??)

[BlueShoe]

Green could become a really good corner. He sticks to receivers like glue. Just needs to be coached up. Needs to become more technically sound. No one is going to run away from him. 

[JRnINDY]

Not sure Chuck or Chud will make the final 53

They likely had a two minute offense package in place with the starters and Turbin knows it better. Not that it matters with our execution but Mack will have a limited role until he learns all the offense.

Would not have been a laughing matter for the coaches I played for/coached with

Very true

Not sure many coaches on our offense even know what a RB screen is. It's possible they believe it is an illegal play.

Definitely starting to dislike Chud. Play calling is just sad most times, even with AL.

[strt182]

We should bring in a second string OC . Ballard talks competition right

They think it's intentional grounding. Lol

Doom and gloom aside, this team doesn't look good, forget great.

This and he may be on a play count.  He did have one nice pickup on a blitz.  He's looked good thus far.

They're not going to give away plays

I watch the rookies and individual players. Wilson looks ok, and Green is interesting experience near the sideline. Mack introduced himself well. I'm waiting to see Basham, Stewart and Hairston to see where they are.

[ColtsBlitz]

Quincy Wilson (Knee) out remainder of game... pls don't be major

[Johnny U.]

The one bright spot on offense was Mack. Would like to see him get a few more touches 2nd half. He's not going to learn the offense without a few more touches. This is pre season. Now's the time.

Honestly, what's there to learn? Lol.

 

We look pedestrian.

[Aces101]

I thought Morrison and Simon looked pretty good on defense.....the rest of the starters not so much.  Morrison showed improved coverage against Witten then stopped McFadden in a 1 on 1 open field tackle after a dump off pass.  He also had a couple other tackles/assists on running plays.  The CBs looked awful.  The DL was manhandled.

[relkins]

Stats don't look good

[BlueShoe]

Hey we only had 153 yards fewer on offense than Dallas in the first half.

Agreed missing some time has hurt so far

[IndyScribe]

Give Mack more touches.

Honestly it doesn't matter about giving away plays Peyton ran the same plays all the time and people still couldn't defend you can show your hand all you want the defense still HAS to stop it that being said we don't show anything during the season either so this is no excuse  

[Johnny U.]

What happened to the supposedly promising defensive line? Didn't show me much.

[Sumoman]

Another long season ahead.  No pass rush.

I don't remember there being a great push up the middle.  Clarke and AC each had a wiff, but I don't remember anything up the middle?

Well that's a positive.

Turnovers were very positive but the rest still terrible.
