Guys indy didn't play with huge leads this season. Most of the time they had last minute rallies. So saying that the colts D was playing with big leads last season isn't accurate. other than the Balt, Cincy, and second Tennessee game Indy won by a average of about 3-7 points.

People saying Peyton Manning is the reason their defense was good statistically... Wow. Peyton didn't have ANY help. What they scored was a result of drives. They didn't have the high powered offense they've had in years past. No running game and Peyton didn't get on his game until later in the season. Defense picked up the slack to help win final 9.

agreed. Saying Payton Mannings the reason there pass D was good is asinine.
Great point...Can't argue there.... The run D is the scheme and the players. The players are important...the scheme is important...the players fitting the scheme is important....the scheme fitting the players is important....the defensive coordinator making adjustments for all the previous statements is what we need. I hope that is the case and I am on board here. Go Panthers!

Indy allowed a completion percentage of 68.4%, and surrendered 6.7 yards per catch. According t nfl.com, they surrendered 6 TDs, not 4. That's still a great number, but when you put the two together you're looking at the king of all "bend but don't break" defenses. Those of you who get frustrated at that, well I'm sorry...

An average of 6.7 yds per catch and a opponents' completion percentage of under 70 % is not bad. I just want to be confident that we can stop an opposing team from (a) dinking and dunking us down the field and (B) consistently converting 3rd-and-FOREVER. Under Trgo's D, we had to pray the other team made mistakes in the passing game b/c we knew the good 'ol soft zone coverage crap would allow them to convert ever single time. Based on the Colts' pass D last year, we can at least hope for an improvement.

Not bad? We allowed under 60% and 6.2 yards. You want to talk dinking and dunking down the field--Indy allowed it way more than we did. That's the whole point. They didn't allow as many touchdowns as we did, so maybe they tightened up at the red zone or maybe there's a time of possession factor. But don't think that they employ a shut-them-down-HERE philosophy like Pittsburgh--teams moved the ball on them a lot.

Now only if Foxy will allow Meeks to have control of the defense. We are already better at stopping the run that the Colts so apply the defense stradegy to the pass and we have to get better. That is if Fox KEEPS HIS HEAD OUT OF DEFENSE MEETINGS and concentrate on being a HC.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
