Frank Reich Still the Problem?

[Colts And Orioles]

o


The Colts appear to be a different team under Saturday, in spite of today's loss.

They are only 1-1 so far under Saturday, but I think that his coaching has been about as good as one could have expected from an interim coach who has had no coaching experience whatsoever up until 2 weeks ago ...... his 3 year-stint as a high school coach from 2017 through 2019 was technically coaching experience, but it would hardly qualify as a reason to be hired as a head coach in the NFL.

I agree a 100%

Play calling is way different than Frank IMO I don't think they are a better team under Saturday.

It’ll be interesting to see what they do but it’s painfully clear that SOMETHING has to be done. They can’t win with a line this bad.

you send kelly out of town.


keep nelson but make sure he isn't considered a voice or captain or anything like that. if he is still a problem, then fucking cut him. this team needs real leaders. they don't have any

fire mawae as well as strausser.

I didn’t see Reich as the primary issue with the team. Pointing out what I see the issue is is on topic for this thread. I’m not spamming the game thread with fire Ballard every time Raimann or Fries fuck up or simply a play doesn’t work like the guys clamoring to fire Reich were. And for the record, I see value in Ballard but I do believe he follows a losing philosophy. If that is changeable by him or by direction from Irsay I’d be fine keeping him.

If you say, the guy who's actually the better player I will agree..lol

I agree on Kelly. I think he’s done, and he sure as hell isn’t worth what they’re paying him. Draft someone to compete with Pinter for the job.

I’m not as down on Nelson as some people are. I think he’s just pressing because of how bad the players around him are.

I think a hard look needs to be taken at Smith. He’s been really bad this season.

There's ZERO leaders in the whole team. It shows

I don't know about Smith. It's not every week, but usually when I go back and watch the line on the 22 tape, Smith seems to be our second best OL behind Nelson. Both of them are having a down year, but if you think Nelson might be pressing because of the guy(s) next to him, the same might apply to Smith. And the two young guys are in there because Pryor and Pinter were terribly misvalued.

Kelly does seem to be in a different boat, though.

This offense is clearly flawed and its pretty hard for us to know exactly why.

Is it Reich's system and scheme that of course we still have to rely on?

Was it bad coaching from Reich/Brady to teach this system to the offensive unit?

Is it bad coaching of the offensive line?

Or is it some combo of regression of veteran o-line players and poor choices for replacements at RG and LT?

I don't see the all 22, so is it poor play from the receivers not getting open?

Is it bad coaching of the receivers?

Is it bad quarterback play?

Is it more likely some combination of any/all of the above?
