2021 Preseason Game #2: Colts at Vikings, Saturday, Aug. 21st, 8pm ET

Eason is firing some lasers.

Eason has to learn not to throw a fast ball every play 

Actually think he has decent touch. About half the time he needs it....but definitely one of his areas needing growth.....

[Colt Overseas]

Lol how was that not holding on Banogu. Great rush nonetheless by Ben!

I say that and he absolutely rifles one to the TE about ten feet in front of him....good lord.

[PrincetonTiger]

I have seen HS kids throw better than JE has so far

[EastStreet]

Just not impressed with Granson's hands thus far. Probably a little too hot on that first, and behind him on the second, but gotta catch one of those. Especially the first.

[Jackie Daytona]

Neither of our QBs doing much tonight.  Gotta love super young guys.....

Eason throwing short passes 70 MPH for some reason  

[TaylorTheStudMuffin]

Receivers and QB not connecting on anything. Still wish we had seen Eason with the starters. Hopefully he looks better the second half.

What if I'm just a QB hater? GASP

It is, but i know for like the Colts, it isnt the radio guys who do the preseason games, just the way your guys are talking sounds like how the Colts Radio guys talk, not the the TV guys

 

They are the radio guys. I don't believe they have TV guys, as the channels with the NFL contracts have their own broadcasters.

Perhaps, but his passer rating is still better than SE's.

Maybe trying too hard to manufacture something there, but you hope not.... No reason to force things there....

[compuls1v3]

Agreed on the receivers who could make the catches.  Point is both QBs making a mistake.

[TimetobringDfence!]

Damn Eason should have hit Strachan on the sideline instead of Harris. Mike didn't have anyone between him and the sideline

You haven't seen any kids in Princeton pass better than that..... Lol.  I kid.... Kinda.

He is 2/6 for 0 yards so not much

[IndyEric07]

Drop, drop, drop…..drop!

Agreed. 

Eason's 2-3. While not Elway, it was his first series.

He didn't force anything either. I'll take it. 

 

I'm not choosing sides about who our backup is going to be.  I'm just looking for some informed comments.  Not having much luck yet.

[EastStreet]

Would love to see more Strachan and Patmon targets. Too many early reads to Granson. Harris was an early read, and was covered up. 

 

Big boy football please.

[chad72]

I think Davenport has been more than serviceable as LT in this game, IMO.

[Colt Overseas]

My god the QBing in this game by both teams is horrendous lol

You likely will next week, maybe for the first quarter or so..... It won't matter, both these guys need to get so much more experience it's not funny.

[coming on strong]

This is why we need wentz back as soon as possible. Nothing against either QBs it’s just they are both really like rookies only second preseason games . Neither of them came out of college  polished . They can be great in time , but not week one .

Agreed.  For a backup.

Agreed, he has been one of the few positives on offense. From media reports, he has been nailing down the LT position the past 2 weeks. 

[cdgacoltsfan]

Mrs Eason seems quiet. I'm guessing JE not looking so good?

We're all seeing the same things. One is short and can't get the ball down field it seems, and has RedZone issues tonight.  The other came in the last three minutes and threw the ball like it was a radioactive missile..... Not many catchable flamethrowers from him to guys all of ten feet away.... Whataya want?  The D has looked great.

No we only produce Olympic Gold Medalists

Geesh this game hurts the eyes

I think both QBs are playing pretty close to what their college game was. SE lacks touch and accuracy, but has decent wheels and looks good most times in the RPO. Eason has pocket presence issues and lacks touch sometimes on short stuff. 

 

I don't think either were helped by the play calling. MN is playing tight, so all the dink and dunk stuff will be tough until we make them defend the entire field.

Sam also had Hines and Pascal who did a lot of the heavy lifting.

It won’t matter because in a month they will holding a clipboard

What do I want?  Don't really care.  It's preseason and I prefer running the ball anyway.

Yes, but didn't turn it over twice either. Neither looks good. But I'm going to pick the guy without 2 INTs almost every time lol.

The ST has played well too

Vikings LT holds every play!

[TaylorTheStudMuffin]

Our defense has looked so good.

They want to see if Dulin can do anything on offense as special teams alone doesnt get him a spot this year, hes in a deep hole

It's just the wrong use for Dulin. He needs to get more slot or even Z routes. Having him run X routes is silly IMO. Especially when we are overloaded with Bigs already. Last year they had him at X half the time, and running clearouts/picks the other half. I feel sorry for the dude lol.
