great win but the real season starts NOW. This 4 game stretch upcoming will determine everything

Watching the end of the ravens he now.. we are strong against the run. Ravens aren't scaring anyone throwing.. I was really nervous about this game when first laying eyes on the schedule. But I'm gaining some confidence

Weak take.  He's not much yet for sure, bit that means nothing going forward.  If he's struggling to this level next year? Yeah I'm starting to talk bust, with as easily RB skill translates to NFL.... Just because you bought into the hype, doesn't mean he was ever going to fulfill it, and he still may.

Is it a weak take though? This board was literally comparing him to Saquan Barkley... not to mention the Giants bottom tier Oline vs. Colts top Tier Oline. 

 

Everyone said he was an upgrade to Mack, in every aspect. I looked past my bias and actively rooted for Taylor (even have him in my main fantasy league) but man he looks more like an UDFA than a 2nd round pick.

This seemed like a weird game. Offense scored 5 TD and I don’t think they looked that good. Lol. Taylor is really struggling. Reich needs to use more screen passes while he is trying to improve his game. Hines needs more plays like that. Those were Campbell plays. Dulin looked good on a couple plays. Need to use his speed more. He hurt his knee so who knows if he will play next week. TY might miss next week. We have to get Pittman more involved. Use Hines in space like we did today. Defense looked pretty good.

Passing O was great. Run D was great.

 

Passing D was iffy, and running O was inconsistent. 

 

OL did much better IMO pass pro than getting a push for the run game.

Gotta give a little credit to Stafford. He was getting pounded and still made some plays.

Maybe a bit, but we just gave up his second most yards of the year.... He's only done better vs ATL, who has a terrible pass D. And he was only better by a few yards. 

 

The fact we sacked him more than any other team, yet he still threw for 300+, probably says as much about our pass D as it does about Stafford.

True but the bend don't break is what lets other QBs get the stats. 

I know you are a stat freak but stats don't tell the whole story.

Dude's played 7 games, give him some time.  He could develop ot he could bust, far too early to have any "take" imo.

The comparisons were from college and were made before the season started.

 I expect JT to improve when he starts to run from instinct instead of mentally worrying about the fumbles. 

 No need to over react just yet.

Good win this week. Colts take care of business. Rivers had an efficient game. Defense stood up when it needed to. 5-2 heading into the tough stretch of games ahead.   The Colts are right where they need to be. Time to get ready for an angry flock of Ravens flying into town next week. We are capable of beating them if we play our game.

    • The thing I worried the most with Levis was that DESPITE having worked with two NFL OCs, he looked raw with some of his decision-making and fundamentals.    For whatever it's worth Greg Cosell is saying he's talked to some of Kentucky's coaches and they are saying they had to scrap a lot of what they worked on with Levis in the off-season because of his injury and what we saw is a very limited version of their offense because Levis couldn't move a ton for most of the season(doctors supposedly recommended he sits, but he didn't want to). BTW some of us here caught on to that when looking at his film. For example, in the beginning of the season Levis was taking snaps under center in 35%+ of their snaps. By the end of the year he was taking 100% from shotgun.    Cosell is also saying he's got some info from scouts that in the off-season when the NFL scouts were making their rounds on college campuses, he looked phenomenal and many thought he might end up no. 1 pick in the draft. Take it for whatever it is worth    I personally thought Levis had some high level traits and IMO his tape, especially in the context of his injury was better than where he got drafted. To me it seemed like he rubbed people the wrong way in interviews... With all that being said, those are young players and performance in first  OTAs is likely not very predictive about what they are going to be in their careers. Of course, positive reports are better than negative reports, but I would take all this with a bucket of salt. To me the more important reports are those coming from the coaching staff about how they are handling themselves, how they are handling the playbook, etc. and this is where Richardson's reports so far are very positive in my books. It seems like the Colts want him to start week 1 and they are throwing everything at him to see what he can handle and so far so good... It seems like he's doing well and checking all the boxes he needs to check in order to start week 1.... so far.    BTW according to reports Richardson and Bryce are the only rookie QBs splitting 1st team reps. Stroud is reportedly running with the 2s and Levis is playing with the 2s and 3s.
    • I concluded I wanted Stroud or Richardson. I just think it's crazy how quick some of these reporters and YouTubers are to jump on the guys(Levi's) every mistake. Now I did see some early reporting saying he started off good, but anything that looks bad it seems they are all over it. Oh well I'm glad we have who we picked!
    • Most of them. Levis' was really low 2.59 or something of the sort. That would be a good mark even for the NBA.
