The Colts defense is probably going to be very productive vs the Titans. The Titans can't pass block, they don't have a great run game, they have the highest turnover percentage in the league, they don't convert on third down, the QB is reckless as a passer and a runner... 

 

I see this as a "get right" game for the Colts defense. It's the type of matchup on which they feasted last season -- several sacks, multiple turnovers, etc. 

I think we win this one as well and that isn't Homer talk. We are just a better team. I know we lost at Jacks last week but we never win there.

[Superman]

Something else, Sneed hasn't been playing well. No passes defensed, no INTs, he's missed four tackles... seems like he would have fit right in with the Colts this year.

This is something the defense should be correcting all week. Tony Pollard is not some unstoppable force.

Is AR going to have anyone to throw to.

I have to admit these injuries we keep getting every year are very annoying.

My guess is downs will go. They just don’t want to aggravate it in practice. He played through an injury last year. The guys on the afternoon radio show actually just said AR should sit if Downs can’t go either. I laughed. AR is going to have to learn to play when he is missing weapons. We can’t baby him. He looks good today 

 

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

A little good news on downs.

I think AR will play, All indications look that way.

I wonder if Kenny Moore injury was the similar to AR just worse. Looking back it didn’t think he’d miss this much time with it.

Looks like Kenny got a second injury to his shoulder in practice yesterday. Noticed the shoulder was added to the hip. Not great news.

It looked like it on Sunday.

Titans oline is not great. It’s too bad colts dline is banged up. Looks like Paye is practicing again. Hopefully we get Buckner back next week against dolphins.

Well, this is the matchup every year. I wonder why we pay Nelson because Simmons destroys him.  Now they have Sweat with Simmons.  It could get ugly for JT and AR on the ground in the A and B gaps

Huh? Both games we played and won last year Simmons didn’t “destroy” Nelson. Winning reps here and there doesn’t equal being destroyed lol.

Colts are going to have to run to the outside. Thdy won’t get much in the middle.

It's kind of interesting that in this case, PFF only told half the story of Pollard's season so far. 

 

Also from PFF this week: "Tony Pollard has faced a challenging start to the season, often needing to make defenders miss as soon as he touches the ball. His -2 yards before contact ranks as the third-lowest among all NFL running backs, while his ability to elude tacklers has still shined, with 16 missed tackles forced, tied for seventh among all RBs."

Have to keep an eye on Simmons. He tore a UCL in his elbow and doesn’t need surgery but will he be limited Sunday.

I’m no doctor but wouldn’t that put more stress on the other ligaments in and near the elbow?

With his position I would think it would make him less effective.

Well I hope he plays well. Honestly, I was hoping Flacco would get another start.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I just realized Titans have Boyd, Hopkins, and Ridley. This could be a disaster.

The game will be close either way.   I like our offense.

I am 100% starting Pollard on my fantasy team this week. Even as a die hard Colts fan, Gus is downright embarrassing as a DC. His claim to fame is literally inheriting a legion of boom defense he had nothing to originally do with (but was handed the right personnel to make it work), and then has had consistently had one of the worst defenses in he league NO NATTER WHERE HE GOES. Every week, I see multiple plays where our defense has players throwing their hands up and completely forgetting what in the hell they are supposed to be doing. That’s 100% a DC problem. Year after year, we are never prepared out of the gate, and we hardly ever adjust (I say hardly ever because there have been glimpses of him adapting and scheming; and we did really well those games). It’s exhausting, yet predictable.

 

I expect no less than 100+ yards rushing and at least 1 rushing TD.

 

I love the Colts, but it’s the same thing week in and week out. 

[Mighty Blue]

 

Just WIN!

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I'm predicting a win for the Colts in a low to mid level scoring game. 

I think Gus Bradley win make a lot of colt fans proud after this game.

It's interesting. I saw a short CBS Sports segment analyzing Anthony Richardson's accuracy issues. If I understood it correctly, it highlights two things he should work on based on QB Guru Tom House's principles: 1) not getting his feet too close together before throwing and then having to take a long stride during which his head drops, causing throws to sail high, and 2) not consistently aligning his feet, hips, and shoulders (his whole body) toward the target. If that second part is right, it's not what he's practicing in the short video from yesterday that you commented on. His feet and upper body don't appear to be aligned toward the target as he does that kind of sidearm motion of his.  

 

Here's the short segment where they're talking about Richardson's accuracy and mechanics:

I feel like this game might be the one or two of the year that the tight ends actually show up. It seems like Mo or Ogletree is good for one pretty big game a year and I just have a feeling it will be this week.

[2006Coltsbestever]

If the Colts don't win this game, there is a major problem going on. No way in hell we should lose this one . Will Levis stinks.
