John Waylon Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Bradley did blitz more than usual today, but there was a really odd stretch in the 3rd quarter where he just… stopped for a prolonged stretch. Unexpectedly stopped. It was working and we were having success with it and then… poof. The next play they ran one was the Fields TD scramble, and that one may have gotten home had Latu not rushed inside and swung the gate wide open. This is one of the main things I’m gonna pay attention to when I watch the all 22 film this week because it felt like a looooong stretch where we just quit blitzing, and I’m perplexed as to why. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the data said to... I agree with you, btw. For a team that wants to take away the big play, we sure can't do it when a big play is exactly what the opposing offense needs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeyecolt Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Bradley’s blitz rate has been up all season compared to last year. It did seem like he backed off on it during the 2nd half. I also thought the effort was great. Too bad Land had that sack taken away on a brutal call. Things evened out on the ridiculous call on the Steelers DB when Mitchell gave the alligator arms attempt. Considering some of the guys they were dressing on defense it was a good job. I hope Paye and Moore are back. Even with their struggles, Jags are a better offense than the Bears and Steelers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to enjoy this win...others will complain. ( The ones complaining, are the ones that predicted the Colts would lose) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago This was a good day for Balllard. With as many defensive injures there were this was a really good game. Gus had his players ready to play. The strength of the team is the trenches and depth there has paid off. Womack is also looking very good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a06cc Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago We better have beat Bustin Fields. He passed for 300 yards on us. Let’s not live in that make believe world about this team. We barely won today.

Lol More importantly, it was a Good Day for Colt Fans......something that you can't say every week. A Win and against the Steelers, that's actually more of a great day than good for Colt fans.

Two_pound Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago This may not be a popular take for some of the Ballard bashers on here. But had we not gone ultra conservative and taken our foot off the gas in the second half we probably would have won the game by approximately a 45-17 score. The steelers are not good and we let them back into the game. We were playing short handed(with a roster some on here say really sucks anyways) and just dominated the supposed big bad steelers.

pgt_rob Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago The very first few plays on defense I could tell the Colts were out for blood. It looked like all their momma’s got slapped before the game and were playing *. Loved it! Somewhere in the late third quarter it started to slow down. But glad they got the win!

DougDew Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 7 hours ago, GoColts8818 said: So maybe Ballard isn’t the bumbling fool some here like to pretend he is? Never a bumbler, IMO. He's a high floor GM. It is interesting that the D has played its best two games with Defo on the bench, and now Moore and Paye. That's a lot of capital that seemingly had little impact when absent. Make that what you will. Good win. Coming out of the gate strong and aggressive won the game. Getting outscored 24-7 is disappointing for such a great start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollygagger8 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Colts D looked fast - was great to see Franklin (and Speed) finally looked good Womack did great....so did Lammons Jones has a few moments here and there, but is definitely looking better every game Odeyingbo looked good too I'm glad to see more blitzes....FINALLY Latu has gotta learn contain Let's hope we can keep this momentum up and keep this D playing like this all year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lifetime Colt Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Maybe you should write to the Commissioner's office and ask them to put an asterisk next to the Colts win record in the event there is a tie in end of season draft order or playoff seedings? I am sure they are open to improving the league with mindful input from the observers. 11 hours ago, a06cc said: We better have beat Bustin Fields. He passed for 300 yards on us.

Mitch Connors Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago From the first snap, it looked like the defense was out to prove a point. They played hard today. This felt like the first time in a long time being near the ball when our defense was on the field was a dangerous place to be. I love it and hope this attitude sticks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuls1v3 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I thought the D looked great in the first half. Not sure if it was scheme, or what, but letting the Steelers back in the game i. the 2nd half was a little disappointing. That said, I was very happy for the win, and when it counted most, the D held up at the very end. Go Colts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tells me Gus Bradley's soft conservative approach took our D's foot off the pedal. They were really bothering Fields with the boot leg blitzes because his passing is limited if he has to stay in the pocket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indyagent17 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago For the first 20 minutes, the defense look like the 85 Bears. So dominant and so unrelenting disappointed how the fourth quarter went when the Bears just marched up and down the field. That missed field goal could’ve been a factor but our defense proved steady enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
