Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 The only thing that would make sense of not saying if JB will play SAT or not is that they will have a better idea if luck will play week one by Sat. Nothing else makes sense why you withhold that info in a pre season game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else makes sense why you withhold that info in a pre season game. My take on it. If Jacoby plays, a good sign they have confidence Luck will be back. Why? He said most 1's will be out. What's the point of one's going against 2's. Same with Jacoby. If he does sit out. Than a chance Luck may not be ready but not for certain. My personal opinion is Jacoby sits but I think they do it just to be safe. If Jacoby was to get hurt with 2nd string oline the backlash the Colts would get especially knowing the whole Luck situation. Just my 2 cents 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Yeah it makes sense. It only makes sense why he wouldn’t say today is they aren’t sure about luck yet. Otherwise there is no reason to not say if he will play. Just strange why you would with hold it until Sat with a pre season game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he was to say, Jacoby will not play it will set alarms off when that may not be the case. Maybe they rather play safe with both Qb's. At least with him saying it saturday he can avoid as much questioning on why cause obviously Reich is over the Luck questions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By saying If he was playing or not would have brought more questions on luck. At least now he doesn’t have to answer until next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure anyone could read anything into him playing or not. Personally, I'd like to see him take 1 series this game with some of the younger WRs that will likely make the team, and let Walker and Kelly split the rest. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partly for competitive advantage but also partly because fans/media are hanging on their every word and, well, that'd get pretty annoying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be our No.2 next year and the best way to guarantee it is to keep him on the active roster when he is eligible. As I said in another post starting caliber NFL QB's are hard to find and we have three. I would hate to see him signed off the practice squad. He would be no 53 and would be inactive every week. We only dress 46 or 47 so guaranteeing he remains a Colt by putting him there makes a lot of sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 So it sounds like Reich said he has to protect JB even if Luck does play since there might be some uncertainty. That makes sense and it does sound like he really does not know what he will do Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 You kind of feel bad for JB because the preseason is his audition for FA. With the chargers game getting closer Reich is getting quieter on lucks rehab. All he says is he is making progress. Mum is the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshinator Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I think Luck will start week 1 now. Reich is sitting the 1's for the most part anyway, and now I believe they are keeping quiet and Luck is healthy. Brissett will play a series or two to maintain status quo, then he'll sit in the 4th game. Only thing left to decide is if we keep Kelly, (which I believe we will). I think we're about safe regarding Luck at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Here is his press conference. I hope TY and DF are not injured. I think TY was probably a maintence day but DF hasn’t got any days off. Maybe Reich thought he deserved a day off. Just now, Irish YJ said: any update on Campbell today? Nope.

If anyone thinks a team can just trot out the starters on game day and expect good things they may be seriously disappointed. These guys need some reps in the practice games.

He mentioned since it was the second year he wasn’t as concerned. Most teams are doing it so we will see what games look like to start the season. I think the chargers are playing starters a little more. So that first game should be interesting. Also when teams do the joint practices that is almost as good as a pre season game.

The Bears didn’t play a lot of starters in the preseason last year and it worked out for them. Reich is doing it this year. Use the preseason to evaluate your new guys and don’t risk your starters outside of practice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted August 23, 2019 Author Share Posted August 23, 2019 So it seems a mixed bag tonight of starting QB playing. Brady and Ryan played.
