Texans have one WR and colts didn’t even bother to cover him.

They did he beat Brents.  Why he didn’t have safety help over the top I am not sure if that was by design or someone blew an assignment.

they are using a lot of tight end delay routes to stall the d-line. I mean it’s literally 6 on 4 quite often with one of those guys slipping out to be open underneath. All-in-all, if the offense could move the sticks and put points on the board, we would be praising this defense tonight. 

But they’re still completing 10/13 passes?  
 

I get the Dline is outnumbered, but the LBs and secondary outnumber their receivers and they’re still completing and scoring.

Your point?  My point was that Stroud has been the difference in the game and deserving the credit he’s getting not that Minshew should be as good as Stroud.


you said he was making the plays minshew wasn’t. He’s a rookie of the year #2 draft pick versus a 6th round backup qb

We’re trying our hardest! Weak city my *!!!!

CJ is your typical California goober who doesn’t understand a single thing about the Midwest and thinks he’s above everyone. And no, the cushy pampered job of OSU quarterback doesn’t count as being a midwesterner.

Yeah people not wanting to give Stroud credit are just hatters at this point.  He’s been the difference in the game so far.

He’s a beast!!.. but so is Taylor Henike and Jake browning when you give them 7 secs to throw and play 20 yds off receivers

because we run a soft zone that any accurate qb with time is going to pick apart.

Yeah he is, why don’t you read the post I was responding to and see what my point was and not just jump on me for wanting to pick a fight.

Just got into a verbal fight with my father over this game. He has no people skills and is telling me to quit cussing over the game. When I tell him that's how human being act during sports, he calls me sub-human. So I kicked him out of my house. Can't stand fake moral people. Generally have always had a bad relationship with him.

easy brother. I made a statement regarding stroud outperforming minshew and you took offense to it.

gus keeps sticking thomas in cover 3 as the only deep safety and has cross playing the middle of the field .   thomas keeps messing up the coverage and cover the shorter routes .  that is two wide open touchdowns due to thomas  playing the wrong coverage

OLine has fared well this game.  Opened holes for JT and has given Minshew enough time to throw.

Where are they failing?

As whole this season with penalties and injuries they have been a letdown

Almost any corner on an island is going to get beat there. Safety messed up.

First play 75yards.  Half his total yardage on a broken coverage.  Rookies make mistakes.  This game is very winnable.

gus needs to find a way to pressure stroud or we are done, could be they have better talent than we do. we need help from the refs

If we lose this game, Gus definitely needs to go - the lack of pressure makes average QBs look good, and good ones look elite.

Very much still in this game. Getting that FG before half was nice as it kept it a one

score game 

 

Need a turnover…10 quarters without one.  
 

Offensively, guys need to execute better.

That 1 long TD pass is the chunk of his yards. Outside of that, we have stopped them every time but once.

That’s fine, but any QB in the league would be happy with what Stroud has done so far this game. They have 15 runs for 46 yards. He’s not really getting any help. It’s all him.

That wasn’t on Brents.  My guess is a safety (probably Thomas) blew his assignment.

    • I gotta say you make arguments that you’d never accept from your students because they’re so superficial.      So saying Ballard has been mediocre to bad is tissue paper thin.  Why hasn’t Irsay fired this mediocre to bad GM?  Because he signed off on what Ballard did each year in real time, not after the fact.   Irsay knows Ballard has an eye for talent.  And as Ballard freely admitted in January, the Colts haven’t had more success because he failed to get the QB right.  These aren’t excuses, but it IS badly needed context — which you’d realize if you weren’t always looking for new ways to hate on CB.      As to what you and Moose “supposedly said”  there’s a simple way to verify.  Go to the Day 2 draft thread of Friday April 26.  It was between 3a and 4 my time when I saw it.  I believe it was recent.  Just add 2-3 hours depending on your time zone and you can see your conversation with Moose.   What was so astonishing, what makes me “prattle on” as you put it is how you two ever thought you were right?!?   Given your career choice you jumped to conclusions I’d like to think you’d never accept from your students.   Why you thought Ballard didn’t know more?  Why you thought you two knew better?   Ballard not only knows more, he knows dramatically more.  As I said in another post, he shared the tip of the iceberg.  He doesn’t share the part of the iceberg that you can’t see.  The 90 percent.  The absence of curiosity is stunning given your occupation.    Now, at the bottom of your post you brought up a new line of attack on me and I have no idea what you’re talking about?   I’m not an optimist?   Since when?  Based on what?   In my 12 years here, only 1-2 posters have ever made that claim.   So what are you talking about?     Finally….   You can stop calling me Sir.  It’s normally said with respect.  You don’t respect me at all.   I’ve extended olive branches publicly and privately, and both have been rejected.  Your choice.  So calling me sir is intended as an insult.   It’s old and boring.   Move on.   I don’t know why you “enjoy engaging with me”.   You take a beating.  But if that’s what you’re in to, be my guest.    Sorry this went so long….       
    • He loves you, you just don't know it (sarcasm) 
    • Cubs actually won one - beat the Giants finally.
    • Jared, put $50 on the Lakers to win it all. They are getting +4000 odds, you would win $2000, if you lose, you lose just $50. Hear me out, those odds will drop bigtime shortly because I think the Lakers will make a huge move to bolster their roster.    LeBron wins his 5th tying Magic and Kobe, Lakers tie Boston with 18. Perfect ending because LeBron looks like a hero + he just beat Kareem's record too. 
    • So….  You’ve been absent 7-10 days (more?) and you’re back looking to start not one, but two fights!  Okie-dokie!      If you want to call me names — fine.  I’d simply respond that my knowledge is counter-balanced by those who THINK they know a lot, but clearly don’t.   On to your other post.  That one is longer, and so will be my response.
