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...

      And Aikman lost every one of his games his rookie year. He completed 52% of his passes, threw 9 TDs against 18 picks.

      POLL: fire ballard?

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      I think u have to remember that Richardson has played like what 19 games in college and the NFL. I think u have to take baby steps. We don't know what the plan is but I do trust SS in that respect.  I think where I challenge him is on being a head coach and not just a coordinator masking as a head coach. Make the tough decisions and don't always play with analytics.

      The only "gut feeling" I have is probably indigestion, which I probably got after viewing Shane's recent post-game interview.   Go Colts Fans!

      It feels like you're taking multiple and competing positions. One the one hand, #4 is a hard swing and desperate, on the other hand, they should have traded up to #1 and taken Stroud.    No matter what, taking a QB in the top ten is a serious risk, and you need to hit a home run (or at least a bases clearing double). I don't know why you're so obsessed with this idea that all teams are trying to do is clone Mahomes... every team wants a franchise QB, period.   Teams in the 20s don't generally spend a first rounder on a QB, and when they do, they get mocked. It's really the Packers in that category alone, and it seems to have worked for them. And what do you know, they drafted a guy who actually was compared to Mahomes -- high level traits, raw, not a lot of experience.    I don't understand your angle on this. The Colts appear to have seriously considered their options at QB in 2023, and they put together a plan that they thought would give them a good chance to have success with the guy they intended to pick. I don't know how you see that as anything but 'well-measured.' They could have stayed at #4 and taken the safer, more conventional guy in Will Levis. Or they really could have swung for the fences, traded up to #1, and then we'd have no question about who they really felt was the best prospect. Either way, unless you think they were just sitting there on draft day with their fingers crossed, hoping that Stroud would fall to #4, it seems pretty obvious that they thought their strategy out carefully, planned for it, and are trying to see it through.   And again, at this point, it doesn't make much sense to talk about the results of their plan, not when we have so little to talk about. Even if the plan doesn't work, I don't think it will be accurate to suggest it wasn't well-measured.
