Colts Vs. Ravens Monday Night Football Preseason Game Thread

[Luck 4 president]

Autry is looking good. Probably my favorite signing this year

Looks like Hairston was trying to put his facemask on the ball, but missed.

Agreed

They sure haven’t called it as much on the backs.

By rule yes 

[Fisticuffs111]

Our pass rush is looking pretty sad for the most part.

I mean I get the idea of it but I think this could be called on almost every play. And when you have a penalty that can be called on every play the game loses.

Enron sighting

These penalties are getting ridiculous

This lowering the head rule is making the game unwatchable.

 

They over call it in pre-season.  It will be called but onlyin  more egregious cases in the regular season.

Not sure about that rule. Does it apply to RBs as well? If not then why?

 

Anyone willingly lowering head to make contact, notably in the open field.  Not persons in defenseless positions.

This new helmet rule stinks.

 

It's not going away, but will lessen in regular season.

Not if it is determined they are in defenseless or protecting themselves mode. Otherwise, yes.

[PrincetonTiger]

Miss read by Clark and Doyle

[Architects08]

Put Jacoby in

[Shive]

Can we get a look at Wilkins??

[Malakai432]

How can you lose Suggs????

[CamMo]

Suggs off the edge unblocked? My guess is Luck is done

[Smoke317]

Talk about a test on that right shoulder...  And all the good Clark did went away...

[Btown_Colt]

Our offense looks bad

 

[Malakai432]

God yes, please.  I know he’s a rookie but he imo has the most potential out of everyone not named Mack and Turbin by far.......

[Fisticuffs111]

Yup, definitely taking Luck out now.

[Btown_Colt]

So basically they promise it won’t be an issue and we’re supposed to believe it?

 

Im sorry I’m all for the launching aspect of it but Hairston barely went into him. Linemen take harder hits than this. Again I understand the reason for the rule but making rules that don’t make sense will hurt the game.

[Coltsman1788]

Not a good night for Luck on National T.V. 

[Aces101]

Other than Vinatieri and Simon, the whole team looks pretty awful. No WR separation, no running lanes being created by OL, little to pass rush on D, and too many penalties.

[Turftoe]

Getting very little from the running game.  I'm afraid we may wish we still had Frank Gore.

[Malakai432]

Good D

[CamMo]

One thing I noticed? Leonard is going to be sooo good for us.

[Smoke317]

Leonard is flashing. He closes quickly. 

[Boiler_Colt]

Ridgeway and Leonard making some plays again this week.

It will make players not bend way over and hit with their head anymore.  It hurts the team. The NFL wants it completely out of the game.

[PrincetonTiger]

Vintage Lamar Jackson

[Smoke317]

If Luck comes out I expect Wilkins to come in.  Ravens aren’t the team to have blown assignments against.

 Could have drafted Guice, or Freeman.  

[Aluckiswolverine]

I’m glad Suggs didn’t rip his arm off he had a clear path to him. Could have been worse. Also I’m done with Clark another wasted Grigson pick. 

[CamMo]

Luck is back out there -_-

It needs to be started at the Pop Warner Level then

[Malakai432]

Hines May have been down but he dropped the ball again.

Apparently, when they institute a new rule, they over-enforce it in the preseason then lighten up in the regular season. Helps players and coaches get a good idea of what they're looking for with that rule.

Guice could very well have been out for the year for us as well.

[IinD]

I'm hoping to never get this head umpire again. Whoever he is, he's terrible.

Yes this is true.  It is very hard for any player to change what he has done all his football life.

Exactly, and coaches can point to the NFL when teaching  'heads up' play. Bend from knees, not waist, eyes up, head off center.
