Interesting note on Kaleb’s title… that’s the first I’ve seen her referred to as “owner”

I believe Irsay had transferred that to his daughters at one point. Not because he was giving up owner but just to make plans for the future. This way the franchise would not  have to worry about inheritance tax when he passed.

I was saying it before the game, and he's now been ranked the best defensive rookie week 1 by pff with a 92.2

Please please please let me watch him learn as a rookie vs Baker Jr or Flowers getting torched

Very smart. And I knew that. Just hadn’t ever seen it used before by the media

The issue with Jones is he isn’t being used in a manner that enhances his strengths. He is pretty good in press coverage but they would rather he plays off coverage. When he can get his hands on you his coverage significantly improves. I don’t see why Gus doesn’t understand this. I can understand situationally wanting him to give up some cushion but I think he needs to be on the line in a receivers face atleast 70-75% of the time.

With these joint practices, the starters get so many reps, the coaches typically agree to no starters playing for either side in Game 2

According to Belichick the teams often throw a lot of disguised looks at each other as well. Really helps focus the players if they start to figure out their own respective offenses and defenses. 

Plus, with cutdowns looming, and only 3 preseason games, this second game is hugely important for evaluating those fringe bubble players.

 Gus and his coaches don't understand this. You're funny 🤣.

If you really want to be mad go listen to Ballard on the radio today and the way he talks about the secondary.

Richardson and the 1st team should play a quarter against the Cardinals minimum.  He needs the work.

Ballard said starters probably won’t play until next week and that they will get a half.

You saw this coming for the Cardinals game, and so did I. They might as well just sit Latu down as well. We all see what he can do.

      Mike Lombardi on Pat Mcafee

      By 1959Colts · Posted

      I was the opposite in 2023. In fact, I was on this forum ranting, when I heard the rumor the Colts were attaching a condition, that the new HC would have to keep Bradley and his entire staff. Now there is no way to prove that to be the case, but I believe it.   The failure, game after game, to not allow Collins to kill us, along with just watching that awful X clip of the Diggs TD  (like taking candy from a baby) just reinforces my certainty, that Bradley's scheme, is the biggest issue by far of the Colts defense.

      If I remember rumors from that season he was way down colts list. Colts could not get the guys they wanted to come here.   i think Bradley is a good coach but his scheme does not work anymore. You can’t rely on just pass rush anymore when QB are as mobile as they are today. They aren’t statues anymore.

      Mike Lombardi on Pat Mcafee

      By Superman · Posted

      I thought it made sense to keep Bradley in 2023. Steichen was hired late in the cycle, and had to put together his offensive staff. He and Bradley also had a history, so I wasn't surprised.   I was highly disappointed that they kept him in 2024, especially with how quickly and assertively Steichen endorsed the decision to keep him.    But I will say, while I don't think he had a great gameplan in Week 1, he did do some things that he's been mostly hesitant to do in the past, including early blitzes. And we only gave up one big play in the passing game. So maybe he'll dig into his bag more often this year. But my optimism is very muted, because he still did a bunch of things that I think hold the defense back -- mostly Cover 3 with no disguise, soft coverage, etc.

      Yeah it's unfortunate the most succesful players we've had in the secondary have been FAs.   I do think Blackmon has developed into a good player. Not elite, but a good player. His biggest drawback really is the constant threat of injury.
