Colts 2023 A Time To Change

[ChristianPatriot]

I’d love to see some killer instinct in the defense to close this. Get an interception. Get a couple more sacks. Something. None of this prevent/vanilla zone defense nonsense.

And what do we get?

Vanilla zone defense.

That Houston drive and touchdown were… disturbing.

Vanilla zone defense.

And Houston's starting to take advantage of it.

“Prevent” defense is supposed to prevent…..

Like I said. No killer instinct.

Dang, that was a Keystone Cops moment!

Forced Houston to burn a timeout.

There’s just such a clear difference in the game when Stroud has pressure vs when he has all day to stand back there read the zone defense.

If Houston can put a reasonable offensive line in front of him, he can be pretty good.

Great performance from Moss

 

[ChristianPatriot]

First double digit win since the Patriots game in 2021.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Even with Ryan Kelly missing half the game and Minshew under center, o-line didn’t give up one sack.

What the heck happened to the giants? In 6 quarters they scored 0 and allowed 60 points…

I would say they’re well on their way to drafting their next qb but they just payed Danny Dimes…..

AR’s upside is special

And they score 31 unanswered points to win in the second half…

I guess your previous post really fired them up.

Next stretch of games may be the toughest of the season.

Ravens
Rams
Titans
Jags
Browns

Some a winnable games for sure but also could be really rough. Could go 3-2 through that stretch. Could easily go 0-5. Buckle up.

AR’s upside is special

That's wonderful of course but as a fan of the SEC I have watched most of AR's college games. Every year as a Gator, he's had injuries that compromised his athletic ability. In 2021, after killing South Florida, he hurt his hamstring and couldn't perform 100% for much of the season. Last year he hurt his leg(ankle?) in the second game against Kentucky and he looked limited for the rest of the season.

People are comparing him to Josh Allen but watching Allen run with total abandon and seemingly able to play weekly without really getting hurt is a big difference from AR's history of injury.

I wish AR the best and would love to see him lead the Colts to the playoffs and beyond but all this hype is not going to pay off if he is a "running QB". I don't know of the game plan is for him to run or he calls his own number but it's early and it's just not working.

This is why I think that Minshew is the perfect backup for AR. Look at the way Minshew ran Steichen's offense. If he can be a mentor to AR and help teach him to play that scheme the same way, AR would do it better than Minshew does - while still representing the run threat. Just imagine AR as a pocket/roll-out passer who can hit the deep ball, the precise timing throws over the middle, AND still pose a homerun threat with his feet? Killer.

Not that I think AR did anything wrong in that second touchdown run. That's not a give-up situation. Whether QB, WR, TE, or RB, the ball-carrier there is going to fight for the goalline. The DB flew in from the side in a desperation hit that had no chance of stopping him.
