ET80 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 So, TY Hilton for 600 yards? Or more? This is going to be a turd of a game. Colts really don't have a pass rush, but I'm expecting Watson to get sacked about six times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colts really don't have a pass rush, but I'm expecting Watson to get sacked about six times... It's actually been much better so far this season with 10 sacks in 3 games. Margus Hunt has been a monster (contract year magic on top of taking advantage of the new scheme), Sheard is decent, and rookie Kemoko Turay is good pass rusher situationally (1.5 sacks on Jason Peters last week). Also expect some well timed blitzes from Darius Leonard, he can close in a heartbeat. As for Hilton, you can expect a couple shots per usual, but so far this offense has been virtually all quick stuff. We are missing our starting LT and have nothing but backups at RT so the goal has been to get the ball out as quickly as possible. Just take a look at Lucks YPA this year, its bottom of the barrel. With the threat of Watt and company I dont expect that to change this week. Hope I'm wrong because the offense has been holding the team back.

Texansfan713 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Luck might cant throw 30+ yards right now but he gonna torch us in the short passing game watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar12 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 The difference will be the O-lines Watson seems to be running for his life half the plays. Colts oline has actually improved with Kelly and Nelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colts oline has actually improved with Kelly and Nelson. Close - 47.6%. So, not quite half. So - @bananabucket, @Blackstar12 - the YPA talk, is that a function of the Frank Reich offense, or is there something wrong with Luck? I'm hoping it's just how that O works, and that Luck is OK.

The YPA is way more a function of the playcalling. Missing Castonzo at LT, having a roster hole at RT, and lacking playmakers outside all contribute to Reich going with nearly all quick stuff (and a maddening amount of screens that never work). I guess it's understandable because our tackles would get Luck murdered otherwise. I expect Reich to open up the playbook a bit more when Castonzo returns, but the offense will still be predicated on getting the ball out quickly. That's not to say Luck isn't still rusty though. His accuracy and zip have been inconsistent, and really the only success we've had downfield have been TY drawing a few PIs because Luck underthrew him. It doesnt help that TY and Ebron are the only guys that threaten anyone vertically though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to this here's a compilation of Luck "deep" throws it's been inconsistent and lacks zip but not as bad some people are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the opposite in Houston, despite the same situation at T - Texans are drawing up 5-7 step drops and exposing Watson to an atrocious OL. A shorter passing game with Hopkins and a group of impressive young TEs in Jordan Akins and Jordan Thomas would be more suited, but our O is simply not trying this. 12 hours ago, bananabucket said: That's not to say Luck isn't still rusty though.

Hus accuracy has been spotty for a while, it's just noticable now because he's not offsetting a bad throw with a highlight reel throw. It's good to hear that Luck is back, he's a local product from Houston and I've always had a soft spot for the Stratford HS Valedictorian. Really want to see him do well...

Pastor Dillon Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 BOB said that McNair has made it clear to him that they need to improve. Maybe if we lose this one badly, he gets canned seems like this is the rumor mill every week though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyld Stallyns Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I put 15 points on Indy in my confidence pool but I have until 10 mins before game time to change it. And since Buffalo is in Green Bay I won’t be able to watch the Colts game. Luckily next week we get a short turnaround with a Thursday night game at New England ??♂️ But I’ll be able to watch it. ??
