Colts v packers

[HoosierinFL]

Games over thread but that was a TD catch to win at the last second I can’t believe they ruled incomplete. Bullshit. I like that Bean kid

[Hoopsdoc]

That was a terrible terrible call. Not only was that a catch, it was a touchdown catch.

I like Bean as well but the Colts clearly don’t. At least not as a quarterback. They clearly like Leonard more, although I’m not sure why.

[Hoopsdoc]

Also, it doesn’t bode well for Jelani Woods making the team that he’s playing on the final play of the 2nd preseason game.

That’s a shame because he’s got talent.

I don't feel nearly as bad about rolling with Jones as I expected in the beginning. That said, I want AR starting. I liked how both looked and both have better numbers if AD didn't fuck them on a play each.

So tiebreaker is the fact that AR is 23yo and still growing, ceiling is sky high, the running dynamic which is not on display in preseason, and the fact that he's had a good overall camp specifically without turnovers.

Side notes..

-Warren looks good

-OL + JT + Giddens should be nasty

-OL needs to shore up pass pro inside: Goncalves mauls in the run, needs head out of ass on pass rush stunts.

-AD Mitchell will kill me... The PIs after burning guys is great... Drive killers due to JV level retarded shit will keep his ass standing next to Wayne.

-Woods is a tough break. Numbers game may get him cut, but he's got talent to be scary. He scored that TD, too.

-Grim Reaper is sniping our guys the past couple of weeks. Fuck.

Jones' play today made me feel better about him, but AR looked pretty accurate, and threw some very nice balls that were called back on penalty. I thought Bean looked more exciting than Leonard. Would love to find a wat to keep him as a project.

Granted, the Packers played no starters. But AR made accurate passes. Jones made more bad passes, IMO. His deep ball accuracy stinks.

Good call, that's another thing. From a lay perspective just watching videos... him lack of arm strength seems to make him compromise his mechanics due to the effort on deep balls. Otherwise, he's pretty accurate short to medium. Meanwhile, AR can flick his wrist the same on a 12-yard out as he does on a 40 yard bomb.

So, then you ask, would you rather miss some easy passes to Gidden like AR did today and hope he improves... or settle for Minshew-ball, hit all the short and medium stuff, but play against tighter coverage all the time because the defense doesn't fear you deep.

If that's the case, we can hope that he takes a page out of Jim Plunkett's career resurgence when he was playing for the Raiders in his mid-to-late 30's ....... play within himself, don't throw very many deep bombs, and trust his receivers with soft-and-accurate throws.

Pretty much agree with everything you said here. Would like to add the following:

- Neither Jones or AR have stood out. Although obviously tough to tell with the limited time each have had with most of their reps being w/ backups. Agee with what I've seen that you go w/ AR who has the obvious better upside.

- One thing to remember is that only Jones has played w/ (mostly) our starters in either of the preseason games. IMO he looked ok, nothing great, which is a bit underwhelming considering he was playing against backups.

- Agree w/ Goncalves. He looked Matt Pryor lost on some of the stunts that GB ran.

- Agree on Mitchell as well. Seems like some training camp success has led to his inner douche resurfacing (or maybe it never went away).

- On the other hand Gould looked really good. Guessing he'll get some opportunities come the regular season, so we'll see if he can carry this performance fwd.

- I thought Owen looked good as well. Hopefully we sign him to the PS.

- On the defensive side I didn't like seeing us giving up 3rd and longs to their backups. Hopefully it's b/c we're playing vanilla defense, but I have a feeling we're still going to struggle with this .

- Agree w/ Racehorse on Bean. It was only 1 series, but he definitely looked better than Leonard.

Nothing good happens when AD Mitchell plays. the guys is just a problem


Tim Smith looked decent


Worried about the oline. Travis looked a bit better this week. Not that he was good but it sucks to see Freeland get his leg snapped like that. oline depth is very worrisome


just overall, I am not very optimistic the colts will have a good year.
