Week 3 impressions: Brissett

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

 

[krunk]

I thought we were straight at DB but Ballard may have to make some moves during draft and offseason. We are good for letting up at least 24 against high powered offenses.

[CanuckColtsFan]

I am so impressed.  This is the gane I was looking for. No, he's not the marquis guy.

 

Because he's the QB Indy deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll play him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our QB. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A blue knight.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Brissett 300 yards, 2 TD's, no INT's and a win over Matty Ice. He gets an A this week easily.

Jacoby Brissett became just the 3rd QB in #Colts franchise history with a 115+ passer rating in 2 of the first 3 weeks of a season. Others: Peyton Manning (2009, 2004) and Johnny Unitas (1964).

Wow...

We missed Darius big time in the middle

I thought Okereke was fine. Our DBs kept letting up catch after catch. Not just to Julio either.

I thought that was bogus too. That's not the spirit of the rule, which is more about taunting/celebrating. 

 

I know I would've been * if they called it on the Colts.

You have to remember they are very good and do that to a lot of teams. Hooked missing the 3rd quarter hurt also. 

We actually did a great job making them use click that one drive.

I kind of wished we declined that specific penalty. I feel like refs should be allowed discretion for situations like that and should be able to pick up the flag once they realize what's happened. This was such a nonsense call...

 

Feel terrible for Neal too. He is a player who plays the game with incredible physicality and determination and is fun to watch whenever he is not playing against your team. Hopefully he recovers fully...

Looking back thank god he didn’t decline it. I can’t remember if we stopped them.

Ey, stitches old buddy, gotta ask, did Brissett make enough veteran caliber throws for you today?  

[Colts Addict]

I was impressed with his ability to get the jump on the hard count, his quickness of thought to catch 12 men and force a timeout. It was those types of things that impressed me today. It showed he was a comfortable leader on that field. I’m excited to watch him continue to grow. 

[DougDew]

3rd week in a row where it looks like he made good quick decisions then threw the ball accurately.  Can't ask for much more.  In fact, I think he is doing that better than Luck did.

 

Still would like to see if he can get chunk plays when he needs to, like a 50 second drive for a field goal or TD. 

 

If he had Julio Jones, Sanu, and Ridley; he'd probably get those chunk plays. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It was nice to see the veteran pass catchers get it done down the stretch and we didn’t have to rely on the two young guys.

I actually find these sorts of comments to be very tiresome. Yes, I know it’s sarcasm, but really, is it necessary? <roll eyes>

I hate fun too, bro

He had a bunch of chunk plays today.

You know, with the strength of schedule we've had these past 3 weeks, most people, including myself, didn't think we'd be very close to 3-0, even before Brissett was leading our team.  I'm still on the Brissett train. He had a excellent game today.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Chargers are winning.

[2006Coltsbestever]

The drive that put us up 27-17 was very impressive. That showed me JB is definitely clutch. He is very poised.

The strength of schedule actually is a little easier after that KC game. We play a lot of bad QB.

That’s what happens when you play cover-2 and get zero pass rush against a good QB.

I think all of the holding calls were accounting for some of that "zero" pass rush, to be honest.

[DerekDiggler]

Easily JBs best game as a Colt    Drawing Atl offsides catching them with 12 on the field.   Crisp passing.  No really bad throws.  Great fakes on the RPOs

 

 Very good game.

If we get to 3-1 and lose to KC it is not the end of the world, I agree. We had to win today to get people's interest and we did . Teams that start 2-1 make the playoffs 60% of the time since 1990 if anyone is wondering. At 3-1 it is 71%. I like those odds.

That might be the toughest 3 week stretch all season and we came out of it looking triumphant.

[krunk]

Im so glad Jacoby got this win! The Falcons fan base was so confident that they were going to blow us out. They didnt have that much respect for us.

I agree, the way he was drawing them offsides reminded me of Andrew. I look at things like too

Brissett threw to 9 different targets this afternoon.  Comfort level with the young guys looks like it's getting there.

Eh... Why are you asking the question in such a contentious way? Do you think I don't want him to succeed or something? On the very first page of this thread I  think I gave him big props for today's performance (and the comment applies for more than just this game). He made some very good plays, but more importantly he looked like he was in control of the offense and move the ball down the field very well. 

 

I think it is important for us(especially for Ballard and Reich) to critically evaluate Brissett this season because the consequences might span the next half a decade+ of Colts football. This includes the positives and the negatives of his game and it should be a holistic evaluation over the span of the season rather than based on single bad or good games. Every QB in the NFL is capable of having a horrible or a great game on a random Sunday... We should keep gathering impressions and amalgamate them into a more fully informed opinions by the end of the season.

That's because they play cover 2 , which is designed to limit big plays , corners , safeties playing zone. They had an inconsistent rush today.  The system relies on pass rush heavily.  Good QB  , when dared to string together long drives and first downs eat it alive.  Ryan left a lot of points on the field also.

Sorry didn't mean it to be contentious, just a bit "teasy"

It is a week to week thing, I agree. We should spank Oakland next week so next week will show me more. TY may be out but we still should beat that team. Just have to stay focused.

 Very good game.    

Catching 12 on the field was on Kelly.  He was calling JB to line up quickly.  Not even sure JB saw it.

Still it was concerning how many times we were giving up 3rd and long.

The point of cover 2 is to get third and longs because they're hard to execute.

 

Matt Ryan is an elite QB because he's capable of executing hard plays.

 

Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to the opponent

You should not be consistently beat on 3rd and long even in zone.
