Colts-Titans quick thoughts

[DrSpaceman]

Only other run, besides the fumble, I would criticize Mack on was a play in the red zone, looked like he had a wipe open path outside to the left and he seemed slow to make the turn or the edge ended up getting about 10 yards but I think it could have gone for longer or even a TD, I think they were at about the 20.

There was a similar play last game where he was slow to hit a big hole, made a good gain for 9 yards or so but really could have been a huge 30-40 yard gain. It seems 1-2 plays a game he has moments like that where you see the difference between him, a good RB, and what an elite RB would do.

But he also continues to block well.

I thought Mack played great overall. So did Wilkins when he got in to run and Hienes on pass catching.

It was the mistakes and the penalties that held back the offense, not the play calling or execution

Also TY Hilton, that play in the last two minutes of first half was huge to get out of the Colts end side of the field deep, the catch and run. Once again playing injured and making a big game changing play when needed.

Also though the Colts got bailed out on one TD drive on the pass INT on 3rd down. I thought that was pretty good coverage by the Titans, pretty sure it was Hilton he was guarding.

If he didn't know that Desir was in position, then I take back my criticism of that play.

Desir wasnt intercepting that ball anyway, knocking it down yes, intercepting no. odum had a better play on it

I feel bad for wilkins, it seems like whenever he finally gets in the game, he rips off a nice run and its called back on a penalty

Absolutely. Need to find us a 2 and bring back Inman

34th pick could be an excellent spot. Obviously depends on the defenders available, though.

I would also keep a close eye on Julio Jones and the Falcons in case they have contract issues again.

I do, too, but the counter argument is that he may not have gotten the long run without the actions that caused the penalties

No, I’d rather he play well enough to earn WR2, that would be crazy good value. Why would you not hope for him to succeed? Maybe I don’t understand what you are saying.

I am guessing he is saying don’t rely on him to be #2.
