Ok I will say I was wrong about TY lol. He is playing a ton. These deep throws are going to open up the run game.

Hopefully we'll spend most of the 4th Quarter gashing them with the run, and protecting a large lead.

He'll probably start playing less snaps for a bit, but his presence has definitely been felt.  He just energizes the offense and stretches the coverage.

We are still giving up way too many easy short passes that the Texans are getting 5 and 6 yards on.

It's by design at this point ...and it's absolutely freaking dumb.  They young guys catch on sooner argument..... Uh....do we not have enough guys in their second and third years to take this thing to the next level?  IS there another level of play calls and schemes Flus?!?

Mills is just hitting the short routes.  Coverage has not been terrible this drive.

We have been giving them 5 yards whenever they want, I wouldn't say it's terrible but it is bad how easy we are letting a rookie QB march down the field.

I agree I hate it, we stopped them here, almost a pick.

They’re taking away the deep threats. You force them to make more plays that are shorter which in turns allows for more plays which means more opportunities for them to mess it up or we get a sack/TO.

Hard to even call it a scheme, it's a "let them have points and hope Blackmon or Leonard force a fumble" scheme if anything.

This is exactly right. Every time these players talk it’s about how they didn’t get enough turnovers. Just play good defense. Turnovers are nice but you can’t rely on them.

Bingo.  And they're absolutely cool with 11 play drives ending in FGs.  That last drive was a win across the board for the team and staff.  They won't rip guys because that's what the D is supposed to do.  Now, we fans hate it u less there's a big play or a misfire by the O.... But as long as we win, who cares.  

My god. Campbell is out one catch and he's done.

True in the middle of the field.  lbs play 15 yards off the line in coverage is a recipe for good gains.

They even blitzed and it was easily picked up.

      I'm very interested in Carlie's as well.  I'm just not sold on our starting LB core.

      Yeah North.....maybe I got confused about the Pittsburgh Pirates playing in the central.  But I think before realignment there were only 3 divisions, I think.. Like the Colts and Dolphins played in the East, the Raiders and Broncos played in the West and the Steelers and Brownies played in the Central.  But yeah my mistake the Steelers currently in the North division.

      I just wanted to give Pitt some love for his recent comments about Indy and family values. I also loved what he said about focusing on the long term financially and considering the situation youre in. He appreciates his place in the organization and that speaks volumes about him as a man. The Texans can have guys like Diggs, Im happy with Pitt. Just a top notch dude.    This is a place a lot of people love to hate on, for some reason. But he is living proof that all this rhetoric about how "nobody wants to live in Indiana" is just bonafied baloney. So many former players stick around here after retirement. There is a reason for that.    He is the exact kind of person you would think wouldnt like it here. Rich california kid whose father played in the NFL. Lives on a little farm in Indiana with his wife, who is also from California. And they both love it here.    Those huge cities are very over rated and it isnt for everyone. We just have to find people like Pitt who do and allow them to become pillars of the franchise.

      "I think he flashed last year and can add some value to the LB room."  And I also responded directly to the LB room question. I will simplify, he has a looooow ceiling.   So what's the Problem, why argue?
