We need to break this one tendency offensively…

I’ve watched Frank call plays for 4 yrs now… the last 3 yrs ( post Andrew era) I’ve noticed EVERY 2nd down call is an inside zone to the left either from the gun or single back…  now that’s me noticing this from cbs/fox  broadcast.. I know opposing DCs are keying  in on this with even more detail.  This is why we stall out so much in the course of a game. We are and have been extremely predictable on the first 2 downs which kills our 3rd  down efficiency.  This i believe will open up our offense considerably.. this was not a problem with Andrew was here which is why offense was the way it was.. let’s give Carson the same strategy and I’m sure we see a totally different offense

I've noticed the same thing.  To the point where on 2nd down I say, here's a one yard run.  If the O line is fully healthy, it's probably a decent play call.

 

I'm not sure statistically if that's accurate or we just notice it when it happens though.  I don't have a problem running on 2nd and long, but like you said, it's a low percentage run when it's the same spot.

I’m sure Frank is a phenomenal headcoach and the players play their hearts out for him, but he needs to hand off playcalling to Brady. I haven’t really thought too much about his playcalling these past few seasons but it has really stood out this year - it’s bad.

    • Alot of people  sleeping  of troy franklin.  He is expected  to go in the second
    • I know a lot was said, but I really don’t like when people bring up JJ because he was such a unique case.  He fell for multiple reasons.  Analysts thought he was a product of the system, he shined because of chase, they thought he was just a slot guy.  JJ was such a curious case because he had the production to prove it but I think teams who picked other WRs ahead of him got wrapped up in the detractors.     TBH, the only player I can see in a similar predicament at WR is Adonai Mitchell, other than that, I think what you see is what you get.  Of course, there will be sleepers In every draft, but outside of Adonai, I don’t think there’s a “JJ” at WR In this draft.  Maybe Troy Franklin too. 
    • This presser has reinforced how I feel about this draft and what we might do.  This is one of the most “it can go any way” drafts I’ve been apart of as a colts fan.  Based on our needs, the strengths of this draft, and where we pick, there are numerous ways this thing can go.  Some takeaways I got from this presser:   - Getting AR a weapon:  I think after this presser, we are definitely getting an AR another weapon.  I’m not sure if it’s going to be with the first or second pick.  Bowers to the colts doesn’t seem likely to me now.  Ballard really likes our tight end group and I can’t see him investing a high pick into the tight end room given what we have.  But either way, either the first or second pick will be a weapon.   - Anything is possible:  we may trade up, stay put, or even trade back.  It all depends on how this draft goes, who they have on their board, and where they have them rated.  I can see us trading up if one or two of the top 3 WRs get to pick 9.  I can see staying put if our trade up options are gone but someone looks to be falling to us.  I can also see us trading back if we have first round grades on certain players who are left and can be chosen later in the first round.  I can see all of these things happening and it really all depends on how things play out.  Personally, I’d hope we trade up if one of the top 3 WRs get close enough and doesn’t cost us too much.  But either way, we’re in a unique position and this can go a lot of ways.  
    • Noway  Ballard  does that trade  but if he did he trade next years first for more seconds
    • I doubt  he moves up for any of those guys unless they fall to around 9-12. Only way I see us getting  Harrison  is through  free agency  in a few years if he chooses  to leave the team that drafts him.
