Colts @ Dolphins, October 3rd, 2021, 1PM ET

Recommended Posts

Your Indianapolis Colts will be vying for their first win this season when they travel to Florida for a meeting with the Miami Dolphins this Sunday. They will have several key players out:

• Guard Quenton Nelson (ankle/knee),

• defensive end Kwity Paye (hamstring),

• OT Braden Smith (foot/thumb),

• Khari Willis (ankle/groin) and

• cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (knee).

Carson Wentz and Jonathan Taylor are questionable. 

 

The Dolphins have injuries too, including their starting QB. It sounds like former Colts QB Jacoby Brissett will start in place of the injured Tua. Colts fans feeling more confident?

 

 

Enjoy the game. Good luck!

Ok enough of this nonsense, we are winning this game. We have too or the season is over. Colts 23-20. I am a history guy as you know so I want the current players to read this:

 

12 Divisional Round Apps = 1987, 1995, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2013, 2014, 2018

 

5 AFC Title Games Apps = 1995, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2014

 

2 SB Apps = 2006, 2009

 

1 SB win = 2006 Happy Season 17 GIF by The Simpsons- I have him on my side, we will win tomorrow. Leonard read this, create turnovers, Wentz play smart and get rid of the ball quick because at this point you are making Rivers look great.

I get where he is coming from. He explained it the other day. It makes the situation worse. Just have to keep improving and then winning takes care of itself.

I want coaches and players that are obsessed with winning.

So Wentz must be feeling pretty good. Poor Eason.

 

 

Eason must really be dense as a brick.... It was rumored, but I've not seen a second year QB with so little exposure his rookie season fall from grace this fast.... Did he take a drunken dump in Frank's car??? That's the only thing this side of absolutely sucking that could explain this.

Don’t need three QBs active especially with other injury concerns

Despite the obvious focus on QBs I feel this one is on the D. If we can't get it going against this poor O-line and a QB who we know is limited downfield. Stop the run, stop the underneath and ask questions.

Just not confident in our scheme. Two first downs given already lol..

    • I get that.  The older guy is at his ceiling where the younger guy that can develop can go beyond the ceiling of the older guy.  Yes, that's a consideration.   On the flip side, that maturity also mean there may be less chance that the NFL overwhelms the older guy.     Take Brock Purdy.  He's playing in the NFL the exact same way he played at ISU for three years.  He stepped right in and continued to do what he always did, and the new level of competition hasn't phased him.     So if you could get 26 year old Bennett to play against NFL defenses the same way he did against SEC defenses because his maturity doesn't allow it to phase him, that's where age is actually an advantage.  The key is that his combine numbers show that there is actually physical substance there and its not just a college guy playing well against college defenses.  His numbers translate to the NFL.   Personally, I think Levis and Hooker probably need a little more work on their game and mechanics than Bennett does.
    • Here's my question. What's stopping the Ravens from matching whatever contract Lamar agrees to with another team? Why is a team going to disrupt their draft process by working out a deal with Lamar that's going to be matched by the Ravens anyway? It's a waste of time and resources. Am I missing something?
    • That's OK. My issue is not with him taking his additional eligibility or not. I am just saying you have to take into account what it means about his current level of play and what it means for his room for improvement.  I'm not downplaying his experience. His experience is one of his biggest attributes and one of the most signficant reasons he's as good in college as he is.  Of course there is no guarantee for anything. We need to think probabilistically. What's more likely? How much more likely?  I don't know if the difference is 5 or 6 rounds. I guess we will see in about 1 month time. Could be 2 or 3... who knows?    Agreed on Bennett's best chance. And I would be good with the Colts spending a day 3 pick on him. 
    • This why I question these reports of players who make big rising and falling moves each draft season.    It seems like there are plenty of pseudo media types that take sides and try to drive the market for their favorite players and the players they don't like.   And I also think the more legitimate media companies also play up the "debate pot stirring" where they purposely start to ride one horse up and another horse down for the drama and clicks it generates.  So its not always about these quasi media types, its also about the Mortensen's and Shefty's dipping into that debate-cueing during the otherwise quiet period before the draft.
    • As far as the age thing is concerned, as Doug pointed out there are other QB's that are older like Hooker and Levis as well.   A lot of this has to do with getting the additional year of eligibility for covid for all NCAA athletes not just football players.   I believe Hooker and Bennett took the additional year of eligibility.  I'm not sure about Levis.   I think Bennett understand the QB position.  He's mentioned that in interviews.  Until Todd Monken came along, he said he really didn't understand football.  Now he does.  I'm sure you know that Monken is now the OC for the Ravens (formerly of the GA Bulldogs).  He understands how offenses are put together.   Warner mentioned that too.  He said "Bennett is making alot of 2nd level throws"  "Thats whats necessary to succeed in the NFL."  And yes based on what was shown in college, Bennett is the 3rd best prospect in this draft.  Warner also gave the condition of "Will this translate to the NFL, I don't know".   I wouldn't down play his experience and how he came to understand how to run an offense.   Will Young and Stroud continue to grow ?  You're guess is as good as mine.  Maybe they stay where they are.  There's plenty of 1st round picks at 21 years of age that never continue to grow.   Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in a million years that the Colts will draft Bennett.  I just took issue with the discussion that Young was 5 or 6 rounds better than Bennett.  I do not believe that.   Bennetts best shot at starting is to be drafted as a back up and get his chance to start once the starter gets injured.  This is exactly what happened with Purdy and Trey Lance.  Now Purdy is seen as the starter for the 49ers.
