2023 Week#8 Saints @ Colts, Sunday, October 28, 2023, 1PM ET

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts just don’t have the players on defense with all these injuries and Grover’s suspension. 

[Colt Overseas]

I never thought I see as bad a cornerback as Darrell Baker Jr, but Tony Brown might be worse.

Cant lose Franklin. Darius is a shell of who he used to be.

Yet still grades out higher than Franklin in PFF grades.

Why isn’t the red-headed kid out there?

Because he has a 30.1 PFF grade on defense.

I don't think anyone is questioning his ability. But, if you want to trade for a WR when you have a rookie QB, you at ideally want to have them play together for a long time. Hopkins is too old for that.

Meh, young WRs can still be drafted and added to roster. Think Wayne with Luck

[AKB]

i'd take Speed and Stuard over Leonard right now. 

 

 

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

That Gilmore trade is really looking great this season

i don't understand why fans keep taking this jab, when in reality Gilmore did not want to be here.

 

What do you do with a player who doesn't want to be on your team? 

[IinD]

The 'suck' is strong with us..lol

Yeah, but we already had Wayne. There's a big difference in already having an aging WR on the roster and trading for one for your young QB.

I think Baker is worse tbh, but that's not saying a lot lol

never saw 1 report that said he didn’t want to be here. You know who else supposedly didn’t want to be here?

he requested the trade. that means, don't wanna be here. 

 

also ur comparing apples to oranges, Gilmore is a vet about to retire 

[Lancer1]

Franklin is headed into the locker room early

[bluebombers87]

And a disastrous series. Saints get the ball at the half. They’re set up for a double dip at this point

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Not sure why we are coming out throwing. Shane screwing up the end of the half again.

[Robert Johnson]

well that wasn;t good

Yeah, but he plays hard.  Lol

He re-signed with us though, could have gone elsewhere 

[richard pallo]

Minchew is scary to watch.  Really seems to panic.  Glad they decided to punt here.  Don’t trust him 3rd and long.

[kymd82222]

Love Shane, but why the heck are we totally going away from the run now? JT having his best game so far, plenty of time left in quarter, and it's pas, pass pass, except for that pointless 3rd and 20 run.  

[w87r]

Hopefully Olubi can come in and make a play.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This is looking like last week. Screw up the end of the first half and saints get ball back in second. Taylor was running like a maniac and you come out throwing on that drive. Just dumb.

[IinD]

Can't rip shane for everything. That was a trash executed drive.

Speed/ Leonard ?

Exactly! I rarely criticize Shane, but what the heck is going on? Minshew having an okay but very pedestrian first half, while the RBs are killing it.  And we come out with an empty backfield.  I don't get it   

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Why did we come out throwing. Taylor looks awesome.

[#12.]

A FG is a win.

I mean, Bradley's defense crapped the bed everytime Hill was on the field... maybe it's NOT Steichen's fault at all *gasp*...

i like us after half time, we are gonna come out settled down

[richard pallo]

Carr is better than Minchew.  Could be the difference here.

[chad72]

We need a stop and score before the half

[Lancer1]

Defense needs to hold the Saints to nothing on this drive

[Shive]

Olubi plays MIKE. Speed is SAM and Leonard is WILL, so most likely it'll be Olubi.

 

On another note, I'd love to see Nick Cross in as a Dime LB some.

Isn't Shane Bradley's boss?

Players on the field have to know that Hill is gonna run too.

Franklin?

they said hes injured right?

 

so leonard has been playing most snaps, wouldnt we slide Speed in behind Franklin? 

 

or move Leonard over, and then speed in for leonard,

 

then olubi/stuard on three backer sets

I mean we're allowed to. Just because that drive was executed terribly isn't on shane.

Does Steichen make the defensive calls?

[bluebombers87]

Wow
