As a team, they suck at sacks. 

But Crosby is #2 highest graded edge defender in the NFL. 

He has been top 10ish IIRC in pressures of DE the year.. 

that was kinda my point though i am not gonna say the line is fixed until i see progress for the rest of the season . next week is a massive test with the eagles

If nothing else, one thing is certain: Jeff has some football IQ!

I think that's what Irsay meant with his "scared" comment.  It came out wrong.... But Frank had 5 years of baggage over new QBs.... Bad calls on going for it....etc.  abandoned the run..... Too many preconceived notions he felt he needed to disprove at times maybe.

I wonder how many here are rooting against Jeff and the Colts right now.

Here as in on this sight?  You're crazy.

13-7... 

nice quick drive to get the FG...

 

How many times this year:

  • 1Q TD
  • Half time lead....

Ryan 78% (14/18), and 100+ passer rating...

Just removing Frank is addition by subtraction. But Saturday has pressed the right buttons so far.

I LOVE the balance on offense right now.  18 passes vs 13 rushes.  Defense is showing up again.  Allowed one score and that was off of a turnover.  
 

I would like to see us keep hitting them with a balanced attack but let’s start testing them deep.  Other than that, we’re playing winning football.  Balanced offense, good defense.  Just can’t turn it over.

 

and say what you want, this team looks ready to go.  Scored 10 points in the first quarter through 9 games.  Jeff gets us on the board in the first qtr in his first game.

Yeah, next week is going to be THE challenge of the season.

I never thought he was washed. Thought the move to Sam was confusing but exciting. After seeing him for 2 games though Ryan is clearly by far the better option. 

 

So either Frank made a bad call (personnel change)

Or Irsay forced it, and Jeff reversed it...

I know it is only one half of play... This is looking like what we thought we would see, earlier in the season... Balanced.. Productive...

i like how we’re sticking with the run even when it doesn’t work.  Against this bad defense, he’s going to break one open as the game goes

Burleson is right. 
 

As great as this looks right now we can’t really judge this until the “adrenalin” wears off.

 

I’ll take what I’m seeing right now though. 


Next week vs the Eagles is a true test for both trenches. They’re one of the best O-lines in the league.

He’s right, this could end up being fool’s gold, but much better to start off strong than come out looking like we did against the Patriots

Agreed. Like what I’m seeing, hoping this is systemic vs everyone temporarily invigorated with a change of blood.

 

Lets temper our expectations if we win, but enjoy it since we’ve not had too many of those this year.

The challenge for this team right now is to figure out how not to self destruct. I swear, I've seen BAD Colt teams make mistakes, but I NEVER seen a Colts team with this much talent find ways to destroy themselves. Keke's already done it today on a drive that would have scored points. 

Having said all of that, and even with Matt playing well, I'd rather run with Sam. That way we either lose out and get in better position for a 1st round QB or we find out that sam can be THE guy.

Well you know what happens to Undefeated teams when they play the Colts right ? Look up the stats . 


2007 Patriots were 8-0 when they played us on their way to 16-0, that’s what I remember. This Eagles start and their schedule gives them a good chance to be 15-2 or 16-1, IMO. We’ll see.

    • Really hard to say with Kelly. Obviously the team loves him and I’m sure teammates do as well. I feel he played great last year and was a top center. At his age it could drop off at any time or he could have a 2-3 more great years.  I enjoy having him on the team and he may be the longest tenured player on the team.  I’m guessing the team lets him play until he is ready to hang it up. 
    • Question:  I believe you have access to far more next level stats and info than I do.  But you wrote something that jumped out at me so I thought I’d ask.     It’s been my observation (certainly last year) that Ebukum and Dayo played the RDE, which I’ve always thought is the LEO.   And that Paye and Lewis played the left side.  I think Paye has most played LDE his three years here.    Yet you wrote that Paye plays the LEO almost exclusively.  By my eyeball test, it’s false and the opposite is true.  Can you double check that?      Sorry for the homework, my PFF stats don’t offer that info. 
    • Respectfully let’s not compare Kelly to Kelce. I am also glad that Kelly is healthy and is playing this season and has regained form as his 2021 & 2022 season left a lot to be desired. He is going into his 9th season and has a cap hit of $14,625,000 this season. There are several other players due for an extension in the upcoming offseason. Dayo , Speed, Granson, Blackmon, Flowers, Fries & French should they choose. You have to ask your what will his next contract look like if they do extend him? There are a lot of intangibles.
    • I’d be down if its cheap, paid for, or on the Colts dime! I’ve never played Crooked Stick or the Brickyard yet! A bit too far outa my price range to play those courses! Im usually stuck playing at Smock, Southern Dunes, or the goose-poo filled Orchard on the south-side!
    • I understand fans being skeptical about PFF grades.  I’m a subscriber, but still find some grades head scratching.     That said…. Each player is graded on each play in every game by THREE different evaluators.   Each evaluator is more experienced than the one before him.   So even if you think they’re wrong, they shouldn’t be off by more than one level of ranking.  (If that makes any sense?).     I wish the website did a better job of explaining itself.  That would be helpful, especially with the skeptics.
