That was one mean dude.  I think he's still mean, lol.

Oh boy do I miss Mike Curtis !

This, and it also has nothing to do with how our corners can't break up a slant pass

Pagano didn't stop Ballard from bringing in a better backup QB. Even if he endorsed Tolzien, Ballard could have brought in some legitimate competition for him. He brought in Phillip Walker. 

and kept/brought back Morris

So true

No, they said they didn't have enough money for good backup. Too expensive.

[ColtsBlitz]

Was Malik Hooker out there today? Didn't hear anything on him all day

Tolzien played 11 snaps last week. Everyone freaked out, but he wasn't actually bad last week either. 

 

Morris attempted as many passes last week as Tolzien has in two games. If Morris actually plays well whenever he comes in (the Cowboys might run the rest of the rest of the clock out...), I'll give him credit. He was better than Tolzien last year in the preseason, but that was against 2s and 3s. I don't think he's anything special, for sure.

That's my point.  If you're not giving him the first string OL then how can you equally evaluate them?

We're only seeing Morris for a drive if that tonight, so let's just see what he does under pressure (no time).

[ColtsBlitz]

That's a dot

[Superman]

Morris with the overthrow...

 

Hooker didn't play.

[PrincetonTiger]

Terrible pass by Morris

[GwinnettColt]

Great pass!   Morris to Natson

True. I really think, given the situation, that more consideration should have been placed on the backup quarterback position...

[Superman]

That's a nice throw by Morris...

[Aces101]

Morris just showed arm strength that neither Tolzien nor Walker have

[dgambill]

To me Morris looks well better than Walker...but he is well behind Tolzien.

[ThaCaliColt]

This Jojo Natson is the bomb.

What does that have to do with the QB throwing the ball into the dirt when he's not under pressure? Walker was wildly inaccurate for his entire stint today.

[RockThatBlue]

Natsons gonna make the 53. Could be why Dorsetts on the trade block.

He's hurt again. Think it's a hang nail this time.

[bananabucket]

I hope we keep Natson 

[csmopar]

Just tuning in, have we had any key injuries today?

[PrincetonTiger]

Maybe Morris can come in to play late every week

[Peterk2011]

Probably, but they clearly thing Tolzien is better than the masses think.

 

Honestly, what can we base our judgmenet on? Only on real games. And in the only game he played, he rose to the task, he was pretty good. So I'm not sure at all that he's the worst backup in the league.

 

(Actually, I saw all of Siemian's game in Denver, and I thought Tolzien was better in Indy than him was in Denver. It's probably an overstatement, but well, I think we have many bigger problems than the backup QB.)

Yup, and I like Pope, too.

Bad injury to Sanchez

 Wilson also hurt

[ColtsBlitz]

Morris and Natson are a threat

[RockThatBlue]

Best throw of the night there. 

[chad72]

Nice recognition by Morris on fourth and five.

[coach kline]

Morris better under pressure than Walker

[Superman]

Nice play design, well run, nice throw by Morris.

[PrincetonTiger]

It is the Morris-Natson show

I saw 2 otherthrows by ST last week.  So, I guess they're even.

[ThaCaliColt]

Thank you Lord...Morris is shining as he should.

[NFLfan]

Why is Superman complaining about Morris? He looks the best so far. Yes, he is going against 3rd string guys. Let him play with the first team or 2nd team.

No you didn't.

Another bad snap by Redmond

[dgambill]

He does right now....Walker was horrible tonight!

I still think they keep Walker on PS though. Morris is more polished has a good touch but I think they like Walkers athleticism and think he has more upside.

Morris is playing well. Not complaining about him, just don't think he's better than Tolzien, and don't think Tolzien is as bad as people are making him out to be.

 

And Morris was bad last week, which is what most of my comments were based on.

Natson is fearless and has a non-stop motor.  Kid makes me excited whenever he touches the ball.

 

Reminds me of Super-Nat that used to play for the Chiefs back in the day.

 

Morris has to keep his short throws down, though.  He needs more precision on the short ones,
