The constant glaring holes is coming from this conservative team building approach that you mentioned. Basically anything that isn’t fixed in the draft is left as is and then that’s when the “we like our guys” gets rolled out. The lethargic effort they are putting out also is coming from the camps. Not bringing in vets also leads to complacency. Also doesn’t help that underperforming players are rarely cut, traded, or benched. Leonard and Hines are the rare exceptions. The players have zero fear of any repercussions for poor play, because there’s never been any to speak of. People really underestimate how important it is to have constant competition 24/7. Pagano always use to say that Man sharpens man like iron sharpens iron. I mean you just re-signed every core player so these big contracts. They know they’re not going anywhere. While I agree that Bradley is a big key in all of this, I really think a lot of boils down to Ballard and his roster construction method. On top of all the things mentioned, the other issue I’m finding with Ballard is that he’s too much of a Glass half full type of guy. He always seems to think that the team is better than what we saw, and that players are better than what they are. -

Give Adebawore more snaps.. he is grading out higher than Davis, Lewis. And Bryan -
A good offensive coordinator would go out of his way to scheme getting the ball into JT’s hands in the open field. No player on the Colts is as dangerous as JT with the ball in their hands. I’d go so far as to say I am hard pressed to name a Colts player EVER that is more dangerous with the ball in their hands than JT. I find it mind boggling that a team has a game changing star, but proceeds in such a lackadaisical manner in utilizing him. Yeah, he might whiff a reception here or there, but that is simply the price you pay. Scheme in more plays in a more effective way to get JT in space with the ball, often. And guess what then? Defences will start concentrating on trying to shut JT down. And then guess what? The offence will open up for other players. It’s not rocket science! Like earlier said by others, and by me, JT ought not EVER be taken off the field unless he’s in dire need of a breather or injured or a game is entirely out of reach one way or the other, especially in critical moments! SS’s excuse was utter bee ess, wanted to give some backup Jag some reps, my gawd! <face palm> I’m not going to write Steichen off just yet, but this last game was a MAJOR bloody strike in my books. He is definitely in need of redeeming himself. And one last thought … if I were that reporter that asked about JT being taken out on that critical 3rd down and then for too much of the last quarter, I’d have immediately followed up on Steichen’s answer asking, let me get this straight, you took out the Colts most dynamic offensive game changer to give an unaccomplished backup some reps!? And you took out your most dynamic player because you wanted to concentrating on a passing games with a bunch of, so far, scrubs? Ooooookay then. -

Yeah and Belichick can't get a job in the NFL. Not a lot of things make sense in the NFL. -

Whatever Partridge, Smith, and Bradley are changing up scheme, reads, technique, or keys wise with this defense they have the front seven playing far too slow. I cannot remember so many colts player glued to blocks. The drop-off is pretty striking. Partridge is the only significant change i pray he is not the defensive version of Chris Strausser.
