Tonight, your Indianapolis Colts play their final exhibition game before the real games begin a week later. They will play the Bengals on the road in Cincinnati.   What will you be looking f

I think it's great to be honest. I 100% expected them to be rusty. This puts it on tape and let's them work on it before week 1. If Steichen hadn't started our #1s this would've been week 1.

Can’t wait until Josh Downs comes back AR and him had great chemistry.

AR ended 8-14, 86 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. That is above average. He only ran once for 3 yards. He held back IMO. The pick 6 was the only bad play but that was on Granson as well.

He did decent! Has to find some touch on some of his throws. He’ll be alright.
 

It’s wild watching him get the rust shaken off. This is the same man as a rookie that led that crazy comeback against the Rams. Once he gets locked back in and downs back watch out.

Doubt many would have caught that lame duck throw honestly, Minshew choked on an easy short pass.

I don’t know man. Seems to me he had a pretty good shot at it, even though the throw wasn’t the best. maybe he shouldn’t have been the dude catching it though….

I’ve noticed Richardson has much better accuracy on vertical throws.
 

He struggles on 15-20 yard crossers & hitting receivers out of their break on out routes. 


He really needs to improve on that.  He just can’t be missing as many bunnies as he does.

I had to do some painting outside so I started from the beginning of this game and I’m caught up now it’s a bit disconcerting that our starters aren’t punishing their back ups. Seems like after that first drive the Bengals back ups seem to figure out Richardson. The line has not looked good on  offense and I hope it gets better Houston

Keep in mind, Taylor only played 1 series. When Taylor was in on the 1st drive we dominated, it allowed AR to play better. We had no run threat when Taylor went out.

You could say the same about teams who sign a player to big contract and then release them to save money.  Should they honor those contracts too?  They know what they were signing it when they signed it too.

You do realize that most of the time, if not all the time, the team has to eat the dead money left. The player gets that money. At least then guaranteed amount. These guys aren’t going hungry

I like our rb depth honestly. Goodson has looked good each preseason game, Hull not doing badly though more a 3rd down specialist. Once Sermon comes back we are stacked with these youngsters. The days of Deon Jackson are long gong

I just noticed once Taylor went out, AR didn't look near as good. With Taylor in there, defenses know if they have to respect the run bigtime.

No one said they were but if you are argument is players should honor what they signed shouldn’t teams honor what they signed or is it one sided?

That first drive was definitely nice to see. AD looks like he'll be legit. 

 

AR is going to definitely be very Peyton like in his first couple years for those old enough to remember. 

He'd have some great plays mixed in with those 'Peyton who the ---- are you throwing it to???' moments...

      New DL coach

      Can't keep having your safety be leading tackler. We will also lose Cross to injury if the rest of the team can't learn how to tackle.    Especially Franklin

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By stitches · Posted

      I still think the inaccuracies and the sailing of his throws is masking the progress he's made as a QB. I think decision-making-wise and when it comes to reading the defense, he's on a very good trajectory. He looks like a QB who knows what he's doing, who knows where he needs to go with the ball. He probably needs to work on his timing with the receivers a bit and he needs to be a bit quicker with his decisions at times, but overall those are things a young QB will naturally get better at with time and experience.   Just take a moment and think about it - it feels like almost every single one of his worst looking throws are throws where he went through his progression, read the defense and made the right decision. Just the throws themselves were off. Some of them WAY OFF.    Now don't get me wrong, at some point he will need to start hitting those throws because at the end of the day what's the point of reading the defense and making the right decision if you sail the ball 5 yards over the receiver's head? If he doesn't get better at that, he will bust, because no team will have the patience for a vet QB who can't hit those type of throws with any consistency. I really hope the coaching staff is working with him on it and we see some progress by the end of the season.

      Give him the rest of the year before we make too much judgement on progress. Dude is super young and still figuring it out.     I think his footwork is poor, and he relies on his rocket launcher arm to save him w/o thinking about mechanics. When he's under pressure is when he resorts to kind of like a backyard ball approach.    I think the WR's have issue on trying to catch his fastballs, so now he's trying to throw with "touch" and underthrowing quite a bit. Though there have been a lot of dropped passes by the WR's for sure.    All these wildly sailing balls and inaccurate throws are what's concerning. Hopefully it's all correctable. (I think it is?)

      Is Nick Cross ok?

      By Smonroe · Posted

      I think the only injuries were Kenny, Dallis and Kwitty.
