Every defender bit!!! Can I just say, stop hiring Jaguar coaches! Gus Bradley? Really?

You rarely ever see a flea flicker being called, so I hardly blame them for biting on it. It didn't help that they had someone so fast like Cooks running deep too.

They can't be on the field much, or else you take away the three-WR set or 2 TE set.  If they are on the field alot, then you are advertising a gadget play, or, if you don't run it, there is one less blocker.

 

To have two RBs in the same backfield together, at least one needs to be able to lead block for the times when you just run JT normally.   Hines is pretty useless as a RB and always has been.  Sometimes he flashes with a good play, but he's not a guy that fits well into most situations that would allow him to be on the field alot. 

 

Agree about Lindsay...which would reduce Hines snaps even more...and making his $6mil extension a real head scratcher as it should be.  

Well, I said it before, Hines should be the 2nd / 3rd receiver guy on the field at all times, basically.  Plus, that opens up all kinds of mismatches.  Think how KC used Tyreek Hill. Hines could be in that role.

lots of overreacting 

it's week 1 folks

 

colts usually start slow

this shouldn't surprise anybody 

With the off season we had and the talk of being in win now mode, this needs to stop. We need to start winning. 
 

This is such a bad look for Reich and Ballard.

Agree.  If people want him on the field, he needs to be an option alternative to Pitt.  Using him as JTs replacement is a misuse.

 

BUT...he was Mack's replacement before JT, and got a $6 mil extension for being used like that.

 

Apparently, most of us see something the FO doesn't.  Probably visa versa though.  

 

Back to the game......

How? How are they Rusty and Houston is not?

 

That's my question 

 

Also.....at this point, the common denominator is beginning to look like Frank.....if it stays this uninspired, Gus may be our next HC.

 

It’s Reich, he is a poor play caller and just has never had this team prepared like they should be. It’s on him.

    • I almost spit my coffee out reading this a few times, lol!  I love sarcasm and I especially love it when there is some truth to it!  Well played Sir!
    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • if he is healthy and they make the playoffs in spite of, say, Houston being the 1 or 2 seed in a loaded afc, you think Irsay would contemplate firing him? That would mean we took another step forward and AR proved he could stay healthy and play ball. I don’t see his seat being hot in that scenario at all. I see the organization being fired up with that and ready to hit the offseason hard to take the next step forward. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
