Week 2 injury report

[Pez]

Not bad... just Turay, Sheard and Jonathan Williams.

Turay is the same injury that limited him in practice last week before the ass chargers game, Sheard is still the training camp injury, but has been spotted in pads, Jonathan Willliams is a Non factor.

Looking forward to getting Sheard back. I wonder if we leave him at DE in rotation with Turay and Houston or does he move back to a LB role?

Yeah, he's a DE in this defense. I would bet he's at least a week away.

Sheard is a LB in a 3-4 defense (Pagano), but strictly a DE in the Colts 4-3 defense (Eberflus).

Players are dropping like flys around the league. Playoffs may come Donne to healthiest team, not that it is much different than other years. Just seems more prominent this year.

I noticed they had Hunt dropping back in coverage on at least one play Sunday. I haven’t rewatched the entire game yet so I don’t know how often that happened and if it was only Hunt.

I don’t recall that happening much, if at all, last year. I could be wrong though.

Eberflus does it a few times each game. Usually some sort of zone blitz when someone (LB or DB) is coming from the edge.

The Chargers did their homework on the Kenny Moore blitzes, though. That screen TD was perfectly called to the area vacated by a blitzing Moore. Of course Leonard and Desir could’ve made the tackle, but it would’ve been a big gain regardless.

Colts DE Kemoko Turay (neck) has been ruled out for Week 2. :cool:

May be the worst player on defense to be out this week.

[Oldcolt]

Colts been bragging about defensive line depth. Time to see it

[YDFL Commish]

I think we see some Tyquan Lewis at DE this week.

Disagree on this. The zone should be enough to slow Mariota. It all comes down to stopping Henry and Lewis. Hopefully Leonard shows up this week.

Stephen Holder noticed the same thing and made a similar comment while he was reviewing the tape and writing up his article about Turay. He noted that Autry and Houston were dropping into coverage.

On an unrelated note, watch that clip closely and you can see DT Denico Autry dropping into coverage. Saw that a few times. Justin Houston too. Trying to mix it up against a really experienced QB, I guess. Wasn’t something we typically saw from the Colts in 2018.

After watching last weeks game I think we miss Sheard big time. There are other guys on the line that should be able to get pressure (that's why we drafted them) but Sheard's expertise against the run is hard to replace.

You are spot on. Sheard would have made a big difference. Still the LB play was not up to par either.

Walker and Leonard did not have gap discipline, Adams may as well not even be out there. He's starting to remind me of gawd awful Gilbert Gardner. Then Leonard going for the strip without securing the tackle, is something you never would've seen last season.
