Official Clash of the Rookies Texican'ts Game Day thread

[Racehorse]

Texican'ts suck, and so does Dam's boy Stroud.

Hopefully Kwity and the D-Line have a big day today!!

Texans OT Laremy Tunsil, listed as questionable for Sunday’s game due to a knee injury, is not expected to play vs. the Colts, per source.

If Tunsil doesn’t play, he would be the fourth regular offensive line starter that Houston would be without, including both starting tackles.

[omahacolt]

C+ on the title

Hopefully Kwity and the D-Line have a big day today!!

i have a weird feeling the colts won't be able to get pressure


it wouldn't make sense but that seems how the colts have done things over the last few years. do the exact opposite of what makes sense

[Oldcolt]

On defense, can we start to get some consistent pressure on the QB and can Shaq gain confidence and take another step. Offensively looking at the continued development of AR (mostly a continuation of building his short to intermediate game-working on setting into good mechanics-with hopefully an airing out or two) and an huge improvement on the run game. It is time to this team to start to learn how to win games.

[Colts And Orioles]

I have a weird feeling that the Colts won't be able to get pressure.

Last year, the Colts' season was an absolute disaster. Their 4-12-1 record was (along with the 4-12 2017 season) their worst since the 2011 Peyton Manningless season when they went 2-14 ...... but in that same disastrous 2022 season they beat the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, and barely lost to the other Super Bowl participant Philadelphia Eagles by 1 point.

Both Richardson and Stroud will play well ...... the Colts will win the game.

With all of the injuries to their OL, that would be very disappointing! Colts should dominate today!

Dominate? I would love to see but my imagination isn't that good.

Ogletree cleared concussion protocol yesterday. Surprised he's inactive. Guessing the Colts are being conservative here?

Also, Hambright being inactive is a good sign that Nelson is good to go.

Unfortunately you'll probably be right :cool:

[Puck]

Damn it. I wanted us in away whites.

[Brylok]

Gentlemen...

[Brylok]

Nice rack, Jen.

[CletusPyle]

I like the game plan so far!

[CletusPyle]

Wow....great start!

Cousin Jim Bob mixing it up!

[Spike]

AR with the TD.

Awesome call.

[Brylok]

We're good so far!

[ChaosTheory]

Damn it. I wanted us in away whites.

I hate the blues on the road.

[Spike]

Damn, I enjoy watching Steichen so much than Reich on the sidelines. The man has fire!

[Brylok]

Many empty seats in Houston today.

[Oldcolt]

Love that Steichen keeps AR working on short to intermediate passes. Repetition to work in good lower body habits. Interesting to see how we respond to having a lead early.

[WaynesWorld87]

100% a fumble.

[CletusPyle]

That is our ball unless they claim they blew the whistle!

[Brylok]

That's a fumble. Straight up

[Puck]

Holy fuck this is fun again. So far

[Colts And Orioles]

o


I hope that both Richardson and Stroud play well, and I think that they will ...... of course, I hope that Stroud throws 5 INT's and gets sacked 11 times every time that the Texans play the Colts.

o
o


There's 1 sack.

[Brylok]

Damn, I enjoy watching Steichen so much than Reich on the sidelines. The man has fire!

Frank was a cadaver by the end. Absolute corpse

[Oldcolt]

Holy fuck this is fun again. So far

It's been years Puck. Years

[CletusPyle]

Big hit on AR, but he seems fine....I know Houston sucks, but this team looks pretty strong right now!

[Brylok]

It's an AR show!

[CletusPyle]

Speed is a beast!:D

[Colts And Orioles]

o


Granted that the vast majority of posters on this site don't give a rat's ass, but today is a big day for the few Colts and Orioles fans here on ColtsFreaks who have been rooting for the Colts since they have been in Baltimore ...... the Orioles have been in 1st place for 2 months now, and are trying to lock up the #1 seed in the American League. They clinched the season-series by beating the Tampa Bay Rays last night.

o

[Brylok]

Left handed. Lol

[ChaosTheory]

Catch that, goddamn.

[Brylok]

Taylor needs to pull his head out of his ass and rejoin this team.

[Spike]

Granson needs to make that catch.

[Chromeburn]

Accuracy a little off and power a little too hard, but still have to make that catch. Gonna have a lot of dropped balls this year.

[nate505]

Probably too early to say it's a big stand for the defense, but they really need to stem that momentum shift here.

Damn, nearly a pick too.

[nate505]

Hot damn, that's a great response by the defense.

[Spike]

Stroud is going to get killed by this Colt defense.

[Brylok]

EJ Speed

[CletusPyle]

Nelson still making bonehead mistakes!

[nate505]

Nelson reacted too late.

While I actually think that's the right call, I've never seen the refs be consistent on that one.

[ChaosTheory]

Make your mind up about that fucking rule, NFL.

[Puck]

Wtf???

[Colts And Orioles]

Nelson still making bonehead mistakes !!





o


Considering how ambiguous and arbitrary that particular rule is, I wouldn't say that that was Nelson's fault at all.

o

[nate505]

God damn it, that hold negated a great 3rd down pickup.

[ChaosTheory]

o


Considering how ambiguous and arbitrary that particular rule is, I wouldn't say that that was Nelson's fault at all.

o

Just make it how it used to be. Defense can move, offense can't.

[Spike]

Fucking refs or maybe fucking Smith.

[Spike]

AR is going to have to be superman to make up for these boneheaded linemen.

[Brylok]

Smith is killing us.

[Chromeburn]

Anderson will be a problem for a long time.

[CletusPyle]

o


Considering how ambiguous and arbitrary that particular rule is, I wouldn't say that that was Nelson's fault at all.

o

Maybe, it looked like he moved early?

[Colts And Orioles]

Just make it how it used to be. Defense can move, offense can't.





o


I think that that was too one-sided in favor of the defense.

I think that then defense should be allowed to move laterally, but if they cross the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped, it should be off-sides on them ...... even if they get back onsides before the ball is snapped.

o

[CletusPyle]

Radio says AR went into the blue tent......:eek:

[Colts And Orioles]

Maybe, it looked like he moved early ???





o


No ...... what the referees claimed is that he did not react quickly enough to the defensive lineman jumping off-sides. The rule states that you have to react immediately. But "immediately" can be rather arbitrary.

o

[nate505]

Well fuck...AR to the locker room.

[WaynesWorld87]

Was putting my toddler down for a nap and missed it. What happened to AR?

[Brylok]

Oh man

[CletusPyle]

o


No ...... what the referees claimed is that he did not react quickly enough to the defensive lineman jumping off-sides. The rule states that you have to react immediately. But "immediately" can be rather arbitrary.

o

I don't want to beat a dead horse but he moved, that drew the man offsides, he reacted almost immediately? I am not listening to the TV talking dumbasses, so I have no idea what they said, but just going by what I saw on the play....

[ChaosTheory]

Id be surprised if AR isn't done if it's a concussion check. League is mortified by them.

[AlwaysSunnyinIndy]

Id be surprised if AR isn't done if it's a concussion check. League is mortified by them.


Yep, probably from the second TD run

[nate505]

Uh oh, possible concussion.

Damnit.

[ChaosTheory]

Yep, probably from the second TD run

Absolutely. I said out loud, I hate seeing their heads slam straight back like that. Gives me a headache just watching.

[CletusPyle]

Minshew comes in and finds Pierce immediately...is AR not looking for Pierce?

[Spike]

False start again.

Damn.

[nate505]

Moss has had some nice little runs.

[Spike]

Moss running hard. Glad to have him back.

[CletusPyle]

Moss is a beast!

[DragonTails]

AR already had the TD. He didn't need to take that hit.

He needs to learn how to protect himself before it's too late.

[Spike]

Minshew to Mallory, nice.

[Spike]

TD Colts.

Moss!!!!!

[nate505]

Moss looked great on that drive.

If this Taylor crap can ever be sorted out, that would be a nice 1-2 punch.

[Chromeburn]

Moss is just reading the blocks better than the RBs last week.

[Brylok]

I was away doing some chores and missed a TD. Shame

[ChaosTheory]

Minshew comes in and finds Pierce immediately...is AR not looking for Pierce?

Minshew's floor as a passer is higher than AR's, just no ceiling.

[nate505]

Sheesh, all these penalties in the trenches.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


This thread is from 14 months ago, when Minshew was playing for the Eagles as Jalen Hurts' back-up...... now he's ours, as Anthony Richardson's back-up.



Gardner Minshew LITERALLY Spent the Off-Season in an Old Prison Bus

[nate505]

Good, finally a penalty fucks them.

[Spike]

Finally a penalty on the Texans.

About fucking time.

[Brylok]

Eat that illegal formation, Houston. Ha

[Spike]

Dam's boy Stroud looking good.

No pass rush from us though helps.

[Chromeburn]

Ebukam again.

[CletusPyle]

AR out with concussion...we need to start hitting the opponents QBs as hard as they hit ours!

[Spike]

Well, held them to a fg. That's good I guess.

[nate505]

AR is out...sigh.

Hopefully this isn't a trend.

[ChaosTheory]

AR is out...sigh.

Hopefully this isn't a trend.

This is the big gamble with a running QB.

[nate505]

Downs look like a gem. I'm glad Wayne pressed to draft him.

[Spike]

Minshew sure is an accurate SOB.

Love that guy, more than any of the hacks we had last year.

[Brylok]

Downs is gonna be a real one.

[CletusPyle]

The hit on AR was boderline late...the guy knew he had crossed the line and still unloaded on him!

[dwilli57]

I hope JT is watching Moss!

I like Mallory.

He's made two huge catches....so far!

[Spike]

Moss really makes a difference.

[Spike]

Downs looking good.

[CletusPyle]

I thought we should have called a timeout there with :22 seconds!

[Colts And Orioles]

o


You know what was a really great pass by Minshew ??? When he threw the ball at the feet of the running back when nobody was open, and the Texans' pass-rush was bearing down on him.


Sometimes, the best passes that a quarterback makes are the ones that he doesn't.

o

[nate505]

Great effort Granson. Well earned TD there.

[ChaosTheory]

Right call.

[CletusPyle]

Very thankful we have Minshew to back up AR, Sam would have tried like hell but come up short!

[Colts And Orioles]

Just shut up, and watch the game. ) :D

[Brylok]

That Grandson TD looked short to me, but I'll take it.

[ChaosTheory]

That Grandson TD looked short to me, but I'll take it.

If this was SNF, we'd have the overhead camera (which is pretty unfair).

[CletusPyle]

That Grandson TD looked short to me, but I'll take it.

The only angle they showed was inconclusive because the Texan players helmet was in the way! There must have been another angle that FOX decided we didn't need to see!

[HoosierinFL]

Its interesting, we don't really lose much with AR out and Minshew in - just those designed QB runs and scrambles.
But Minshew's accuracy and timing are well ahead of where AR is at, I don't think we have 28 points at the half with AR.

I guess the only thing we lose is more experience for Anthony...he's got plenty of time for that!

[Brylok]

Never thought I'd see Gronk in a suit and tie on the halftime show.

[Brylok]

Mind blown

[CletusPyle]

Maybe somebody should tell Gus that Collins is there best receiver?

[AlwaysSunnyinIndy]

Now Ryan Kelly is being evaluated for a concussion.

[CletusPyle]

His shin makes him down, but then I am not sure he gets the first down?

They can't have it both ways!

[ChaosTheory]

His shin makes him down, but then I am not sure he gets the first down?

Definitely no TD. Now the question is if he got the 1st.

[CletusPyle]

Definitely no TD. Now the question is if he got the 1st.

I thought the Colts should have challenged!

But I didn't know about the penalty!

Wesley French in for Kelly.

I love that our defense is beating Stroud up. Absolutely love it.

Minshew is a nightmare to the Texans.

Do you think AR will be cleared for next week? I am going to the game specially to watch him dismantle the ravens.

[CletusPyle]

Bring the Gay guy in!

[Spike]

Kick the FG.

[Spike]

Good call Coach.

[Spike]

Atta boy Texans, run the clock out idiots.

[CletusPyle]

Stroud throws a really nice ball, kid is going to be pretty good!

[Spike]

I don't understand this lining up in the neutral zone crap.

Can't defensive linemen see where the fucking ball is?

[CletusPyle]

Surprising that the Texans have not had more holding calls against them today, they are mostly playing 2nd and third stringers! But then again, maybe the refs just aren't calling them?

[Spike]

Colts just can't stop with the penalties.

[Spike]

Chris Myer gets so excited about nothing. Made it sound like that punt return was going for a TD. What a dipshit.

[Spike]

Our DB's really suck.

Easy pickings for Stroud.

[Spike]

Receivers are just getting so damn wide open and just like that the Texans score.

Seen this shit way to often to our Colts.

[CletusPyle]

Game not over yet!

[Spike]

Nice having Moss back.

So great not having to see DJ in there.

[Spike]

Game not over yet!

It never is with this team.

Good call, made the Texans call a timeout.

[CletusPyle]

Frank would have gone for it and got stuffed!

[ChaosTheory]

Pass rush looking gassed. We're actually way down in TOP.

[Spike]

Frank would have gone for it and got stuffed!

Yeah, he was a buffoon.

[CletusPyle]

I'm getting nervous!

[Spike]

I'm getting nervous!

Pretty much the life of being a Colt fan.

No lead is ever safe with this team.

[Dewey 5]

Happy for the win. I'm just not fully engaged unless AR5 is playing. I've been through too much. Background as I do other things. At least it's interesting this year. Off to Redzone.

I feel like Minshew is what they wanted Matt Ryan to be.

[TheMugwump]

Nice to see a win.

A little worried that AR5 got concussed on what looked like a typical football play. Hope that doesn't become a theme, he looks like he could be the deal.

Minshew is possibly the best back-up in the league. Glad he's wearing the shoe.

In two games, there have already been more positive moments than all of last season. Or so it feels.
