this^ and keep asking it until Pags is gone

[lester]

Brad from Greencastle: With the overhaul of the roster complete, but the results the same, why can't we change head coaches now? The question is, should it be Chud or Phillbin who becomes head coach, starting tomorrow?

Ok, on a serious note, when are we going to see a new HC?

[Jaric]

Brian from Fishers: who should we expect to score more points?  Colts offense or Cardinals defense?

Amber, I'm not sure this is the best week to be taking questions from the Colts fan base.  Good luck though.

[Jaric]

Brian from Fishers: Can you confirm if Chuck Pagano knows we play the Cardinals this Sunday?

[Jaric]

Brian from Fishers: Can you confirm the rumor the decision to leave Tolzien in the game was because Pagano had started the Rams defense in his league record?

[Everyone]

Kyle from State College PA: If the refs signaled Macks 1st catch as a TD, would Pagano have challenged it then?

[Jaric]

As a follow up, was the decision to quick snap the ball immediately after intended to prevent the Rams from challenging the no-touchdown call?

[WarGhost21]

Trenton from Greenfield: Can we expect to see more relative success against the run throughout the season, as we allowed only 63 yards on 33 carries, or was it simply just a good outing against a bad Ram's offensive line?

Feel where you're coming from, but a loss shouldn't silence the fans' chances to have their voices heard. Yano? 

[Jaric]

Brian from Fishers: Has there been any discussion about signing Kap for the distraction from football he provides?

For the record, all of my responses have been serious questions.

[richard pallo]

Richard from Rochester, N.Y:   Adam V.  is starting to miss.  It started in preseason and he had three misses yesterday. He is 44 years old and is the oldest player in the league.  It looks like age has finally caught up with him.  Do you think it's time to find a replacement?

[pgt_rob]

(I'll ask the obvious question here)

 

Rob from Fort Wayne: Can we expect to see Brissett start against the Cardinals and stop the Tolzein experiment?

Have you ever listened to a Chuck Pagano press conference

I avoid them at every opportunity.  :^)

[buccolts]

Bruce from Westfield:

Is there any time table established, or rumored, for the return of some of our other injured players, such as Chester Rogers, Ryan Kelly, and Eric Swoope?

It's like someone reprogrammed a sock puppet with football cliches.

[threeflight]

Matt from Valencia CA:  In what reality is it that a GM and a coach can both come to the conclusion that Scott Tolzein gave the Colts a better chance to win than Morris?  And to now only believe that, but to release Morris as well.  It is almost as if there is a conspiracy or secret agenda to purposely lose games, the decision was that bad.  And how do the GM and coach still have jobs after a decision like that?

[twfish]

Michael - North Salem why was there such a hold back on Stephen Morris? He clearly outshined Scott tolzein and they seemed to decrease his playing time as he played better.

Lol, I was against signing Kap until you brought up this very valid point.

[TDewar1987]

Tyler from Columbus - Why did Chuck wait so long to pull the cord on the Tolzein experiment? Was it not obvious it wasnt gonna work? Should we expect Brissett to start next? Also, why didn't Chuck challenge the obivous blown touchdown call with Mack? Any chance we could dump Tolzein and get Morris back?

True enough, Marine.  True Enough.

[dgierhart]

Dale from Rome City, The run defense seemed to have gotten better when is the secondary gonna learn to stop the pass?

[PuntersArePeopleToo]

Aditya From Springfield, MO: What did you think of Rigo Sanchez. It seems Colts always have good punters (i.e. Hunter Smith and Pat McAfee).

[Superman]

Why didn't Quincy Wilson play more?

[NorthernBlue]

Bilal from Toronto Canada

 

Assuming Jacoby Brissett gets the start week 2, what kind of game plan do you think the coaches would instill, having a talented but raw young QB (who isn't 100 percent familiar with the playbook) taking snaps against a good defense in Arizona?

 

To add to that, how long does it usually take a quarterback to become comfortable in a new offense?

[WarGhost21]

Is there any way to go back and listen to this segment?

[Partsman41953]

I have been an avid Colts fans for over 50 years and have gone from the good to bad to good to bad again. I do understand that the defense needed an overhaul and will take some time for the new players to become a "team" but the one thing I do not understand is why the 3-4 defense and not the 4-3 defense. What makes the 3-4 defense better? Also, our secondary is very poor. Why is it that we continue to let guys run free throughout the center of the field? A good college team could beat us now! I just think we are just not aggressive enough and after watching the game last week our pass rush was nill. They played hard but either the coaching was bad or the players just had no clue what they were doing. They need to take the fight to the other team instead of the other team taking it to us and then just reacting.

 

On offense...I understand that Andrew Luck is not there but he is NOT the entire offense. Why do we keep running right up the middle and get 1 or 2 yards at most at a time. Our offensive line is not that bad, is it? Are we running the Woody Hayes offense from Ohio State "3 yards in a cloud of dust?"  Since Luck is not there and Tolzien is running the offense either open it up for him or put someone in that can do the job! Let the offense do their job before the season is too far gone and we are in position for the first draft choice, which we have found in the past really does not help much unless the player is Peyton Manning which we do not need at this time...or do we?

 

I do think it is time for Coach Pagano and his staff to go as he was supposed to be a defensive guru but neither the defense nor the offense has done much since he has been here. Time to see if we can pry either Bill Cower or Jon Gruden out of retirement or even look at Nick Saban to put a fire under the players butts to get the true potential out of them and get this team back into the playoffs again!

 

What do you think?
