Colts vs. Texans ... Polar Opposites in Pass Protection

[Colts And Orioles]

o


In regard to our upcoming opponent in the Wildcard playoff game ........


The Colts led the league in the least amount of sacks allowed (18.)

Guess who was DEAD LAST in allowing sacks ??? The Houston Texans (62.)

Not only that, but the Colts threw significantly more passes than did the Texans (644 attempts for the Colts, 506 attempts for the Texans.)



COLTS AVERAGE: .,,,, 1 Sack for every 35.78 QB drop-backs.

TEXANS AVERAGE: l,, 1 Sack for every .)8.16 QB drop-backs.

Just a shame that Colts don’t have a better pash rush to really exploit it.

Great, now Luck is going to get sacked 5+ times and Watson will have a lean pocket the entire game.

I'm more concerned about Watson running on us.

Saw a lot of either Walker or Leonard "spying" mobile QBs in the 2nd half of the season.

They will have a plan to contain Watson.

That plan is likely Leonard tracking Watson the whole game.

What I say on a website for fans of the team never has (and never will) have any affect on the outcome of the games that are played.

If Luck gets sacked 5-plus times in this week's playoff game, it will be the fault of the Colts' offensive line, and/or bad decisions made by the Colts' quarterback (Luck), and/or a tenacious pass rush by the Texans.


Jinxes, whammies, and curses are nothing more than a steaming pile of shit.

Luck threw 32 passes today, and was not sacked once.

Also, not including the 3 kneel-downs at the end of the game, he rushed 5 times for 32 yards, good for 6.4 Yards-Per-Carry.


Deshaun Watson was sacked 3 times.

I believe Boomer Esiason talked about this being a big problem for Watson and the fact he takes a lot of sacks and not boding well for them in the playoffs. Hope the Colts dial up some pressure.

In the September 30th game between these 2 teams, Luck was sacked 4 times in 62 pass attempt (1 sack for every 15.5 drop-backs.)

In that same game, Watson was sacked 7 times in only 29 pass attempts (1 sack for every 4 drop-backs.)


In the rematch in Houston in early December, Luck was sacked 2 times in 41 pass attempt (1 sack for every 20.5 drop-backs.)

In that same game, Watson was sacked 5 times in 38 pass attempt (1 sack for every 7.6 drop-backs.)


So, the Colts had a considerable advantage on both sides of the equation in both head-to-head matchups this season ........ hence, the Colts were by no means an exception to the rule in terms of getting pressure on and sacking Watson, which is obviously a good sign for them.

Also, they did a very solid job of protecting Luck in both of those games ........ the 4 sacks that he sustained in the first game is kind of high, but not when taking into consideration the fact that he had 62 pass attempts.
