We are going to have to figure out how to get a more downfield passing game. I know it’s hard against the eagles which is why you can’t get in 3rd and 11.

The key is to get short 3rd downs by running with JT on 1st and 2nd down. That’s how we did it on our opening drive, we need to stick to that

need to play safe against a defense that is really good at getting turnovers.

 

we need to wear them down on the D line. 

 

we are doing fine. only a couple questionable calls so far.

 

Raimann holding penalty derailed that drive.

We are not going to win this game by forcing the ball down the field on 3rd and long. It was the right call. 

I’m not asking to force the ball downfield, just don’t like throwing it to the flat to our second string RB against two defenders. A short crosser or bubble would have worked better I think

Were playing the Eagles a top 5 offense in the league why are we playing safe

 

You do realize that those of you crying for us to push the ball downfield on 3rd and long... That's exactly what Frank did... And it got us into trouble. 

 

Do you want Frank back, or are you good with Saturday influencing how we run the offense?

I’m fine with being a bit more conservative, we just need to be aggressive at the right times. Haven’t seen an opportunity for it yet, but hopefully Parks takes some shots on 2nd and short or similar

What you are wanting is not our game... It is not our game plan... And it is not how we will win this game. 

I agree, but if we can't cook up a pass play to gain 11 yards, we can't play with the big boys... or mediocre boys...

I don't know how else to explain this to you. :)

  Ryan does not have a "beautiful mind". Yes we want the ball out very quick he just doesn't ever seem smarter than their DC.

I wasn’t trying to say you were wrong, I was just cordially explaining my position, but if you want to be rude about it that’s your choice man

Lots of them do so successfully.  Having said that, I prefer that head coaches not call offensive or defensive plays.

True, Andy Reid is a great play caller. I think it takes an experienced head coach to juggle both though, smart of Sirriani to delegate play calling to an OC

    • Chris Ballard, the enigmatic mastermind behind the Indianapolis Colts' draft selections, continues to astound with his unconventional approach to player evaluation. Known for his ability to turn perceived draft flops into valuable lessons in resilience, Ballard has elevated the art of optimism in the face of adversity.   Take, for instance, his selection of Quincy Wilson, a cornerback whose career trajectory seemed to follow the path less traveled—straight to the sidelines. Wilson's ability to excel in the role of 'spectator extraordinaire' brought a new dimension to the Colts' bench, proving that even inactivity can be a form of contribution.   Then there's TJ Green, whose ability to redefine the term 'safety' by providing the opposing offense with a false sense of security is a testament to Ballard's commitment to strategic innovation. Green's unpredictable presence on the field undoubtedly kept quarterbacks on their toes, in excitement.    And who could forget Ben Banogu, a defensive end whose knack for demonstrating the art of camouflage by seamlessly blending into the turf has left spectators marveling at his commitment to environmental integration. Banogu's ability to remain inconspicuous during critical moments showcases Ballard's emphasis on adaptability and the importance of being one with your surroundings.   Ballard's genius lies not just in his ability to select players, but in his skillful navigation of the delicate dance between expectation and reality. His selections may not always align with conventional wisdom, but they consistently challenge perceptions and redefine what it means to be a draft bust.   As Ballard continues to forge ahead, his unorthodox approach serves as a beacon of hope for aspiring NFL general managers everywhere, including those perusing fan forums. Because if there's one thing Chris Ballard has taught us, it's that in the unpredictable world of professional football, even the most unexpected outcomes can be reframed as victories in disguise.   AKB
    • He started 14 games at SS in 2019 and started 8 games in 2018 for the Jags.  I meant to post this earlier in the thread.   https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HarrRo02.htm        
    • The additions of say Taylor, Raimann, and looking back to Leonard could be called important, savy drafting.  Our Colts have been waiting for awhile for a special, difference making player to surprisingly fall to US. Right when we really really needed it to happen, it sure looks like we got two of them. 🙏 for good health.  AR a surprise at 4, not at all.  But      
    • You're not certain...but you know it's a fact.  How does that work? Haha
