Tepper is learning… I like this version of him

well, the Colts are winning.  Heck, they are surprising or were.   My guess that has a lot to do w/ something not okay being totally okay for the moment.  And the PR machine likely is running really hard for her at the moment.    

It's weird stuff.  I mean, she was in the HC hip pocket working Rivers on the practice field.  Really weird.  I still would be willing to play the odds when things go south.....we find out there is more than one bonkers person in the Isray family tree. 

 

Yep, all of thus. As the old saying goes winning cures everything. But they're not winning right now and I don't see that changing with Jones out now and who knows how much of next season he might miss, plus the whole contract situation and being down two 1st rounders. It might be about to get real messy in Indy.

Wouldn't that fall on Morgan and Tillis?

One would hope so, but I am not convinced that Tepper has seen his way fully out of day to day operations.  There's absolutely no conceivable reality where Tepper would allow Morgan and Tillis to move on from Bryce Young.

A tip of the hat to Dave Canales and Dan  Morgan and and company for what we're building here in Carolina.

It's fair to point out that Tepper is speaking primarily about the culture aspect of the team, but his wording at least (what we've building here) can validly be interpreted as sounding optimistic in general and quite possibly including the football part of things.

Mind you, that doesn't necessarily affect my feelings about Tepper, but it is the kind of thing I'd file away in memory for future reference.

if anything occurs we/someone doesn't like it's all David Tepper's doing.  If something good happens, Tepper was hands off.  That's seems to be the general logic applied w/ Dave for some time.  

I think Tepper is probably an average owner in terms of involvement.   I think he just really botched the big hires and the big hires did a bad job personally.  

Maybe by now he’s learned a bit to not meddle but he absolutely was not an average owner in the pre draft process with Bryce. He and Nicole were wayyy too hands on and meddling more than anyone except Jerry jones

    • An interesting wrinkle to catchable balls.. Bryce has in fact jumped to #2 in deep-ball catchable rate, but is still #31 overall in pressure catchable ball rate, #23 in clean pocket catchable ball rate, and #32 in blitzed catchable ball rate. No matter the depth of field.  Overall.  #28 in clean pocket completion %. McMillan is also low as he's ranked #73 in rankable receivers in overall catchable balls...and he takes up a 26% team target share.  Now here's the interesting note - McMillan's target share jumps crazy to 51.6% of our deep balls  (Where Bryce's rate boosts to #2).  It's telling me they do have a bit of a connection developing for the deeper throws.  That seems just like a mutually beneficial situation happening.  Good.   Next step is you look at the volume, and yep, he's throwing likes a half of the classified deep balls as others.  Sooooo...a stretch of deep completions bumps him up more impact-fully than others.  Not discounting anything, there's progress, improvement on the deep ball, just good to know that context.  Buuuut as noted, Bryce's rate is consistently still league floor for everything except deep ball where McMillan has over half the team targets.  So he's improved with Tmac, which has bumped up his deep ball game.  There's till big issues is his intermediate game and play outside against zone defense - that's the same/has never improved, always around #25-32 since year 1.   So time to maintain the deep rhythm and keep proving more people wrong.  Would be fun to see improvement and more wins.         
    • He's going to get more and more beat up until he's out. He's playing hurt
