I'll be interested in watching Paye, Turay and Banagu. Hope that two of the three will show some pass rushing chops.

I'll admit that I was impressed with both QB's last week, as well as Strachan. But yeah, I'm most looking forward to seeing what Paye does tonight.
Reich said that most, but not all, starters on offense would get a little playing time. I wonder if Hilton, Pittman, and Taylor will be on the field at all.
I do appreciate the reference to Armageddon with the Dr Stranglelove title. It might be foreshadowing if there is a view of Coach Reich ridding an A bomb all the way down to the 50 yard line of Lucas Oil stadium

I’d preferred to have seen Eason against Vikings 1s. Maybe it’s more undecided than I think, but I think it’s Eason’s job and he needs the reps.

The interception lol
The pass was tipped at the line, and went off the hands of the receiver. I think Frank won’t hold that against him the same as if he threw a bad pass that was picked.

Ehlinger int. But I think that was PI, the defender was all over the WR before the pass even got there. Then tipped it and INT.

We are moving the ball much better than the Vikings, but turnovers are shooting us in the foot.

Defense played damn good. Once this team gets 100% healthy, it will be a bitch to beat us.

The Colts didnt give up an offensive TD, not a bad outing. The difference between the 2 back up QBs is obvious. Eason has the ability to make stick throws, especially to the side lines. He learns some touch, you never know.

He was as fast at the end as he was at the beginning. He had a sack late I believe

If he had a sack he sure didn't get credit for it.... He did have two tackles and one for a loss.... Just keep seeing mixed reviews about him. I keep hoping he turns it on though.

Eason is going to be fine. Everyone seems to forget the guy has played in about half the number of games as Ehrlinger. He is still a very very inexperienced player. Everyone here knows that inexperience shows up as many things, but mainly inconsistency. He is still learning. While it matters, to me the big takeaway was that Paye has the ability to be a beast and Banagu is playing so much better than last year. We are going to be rooting for a defensive powerhouse. This team has the makings of the best defensive units I've ever rooted for, and I've been following these clowns for 58 years.
Chromeburn
08-22-2021, 10:36 AM
The QBs did not look good this game. Eason needs experience. He lacks touch on his throws, it’s 100 mph every throw. He missed the open man at times, but pressure was on him a lot. Someone compared him to wild thing in Major League and I think that is spot on. Potential is there, just need a lot of seasoning.
The DEs looked pretty good this game. Paye was held A LOT. Going to have to learn that chop move. They were holding his jersey like crazy. Could have called it every other play.
Patmon looked good. I like him in the open field, if they can get him the ball.
I worry about this offenses ability to move the ball. Hope Wentz will bring some stability and consistency. But he isn’t known for his accuracy. Going to lean on the defense a lot this year.

I heard Paye sucked. Or will suck. At least according to NostraDamus.
You should be pissed off about Paye. He sucks. He's straight up athletic traits with no idea how to play DE, and he's not even the best player in this draft in that category.

It seemed to me the offense can actually move the ball.... They just need to fix the red zone as well as receivers not holding on to the ball. Two tipped up for interceptions. Add in O line health bad our RBs getting more in the mix and they will be fine on the Offensive side.
Luck4Reich
08-22-2021, 02:45 PM
Just 2 games and it is just preseason but Colts are averaging 350 yards per game to the opponents 250 yards a game. I think this will continue to improve as the health of the team continues. Glad our coaches are not rushing to play some guys in these meaningless games. Leonard, Taylor, Buckner etc. We know they will show up when the season starts. Colts are going to be a tough out each and every week.

Banogu will make the 53 and play significant time if he continues on this path. This is a great development for the Colts. I'm not saying he will be all pro (I'm not saying it is impossible) but even a decent rotational piece would be a win. I think he will be that and probably more.

He will play on special teams as well. He has physical skills, he is still learning to be a player

I thought the game day rosters were going to be 55, wasn't that one of the covid rule changes the NFL made permanent ??

The official roster number is 53 and that is the number that teams will need to reach on final cut down day.
However, the COVID-related roster rules have been extended for this season. That means that teams can elevate up to 2 players from the practice squad before game day and carry either 54 or 55 players on the game day roster. Those "elevated" players revert to the practice squad the day after the game without the need to pass through the waivers process.
