Only 3 teams have scored less than 27 against the colts this year.

only 4 teams have scored more than 27, and 1 of those scored 28...

On the other hand, we're the first team the Colts have scored more than 10 points against in a month. :(

Just goes to show...you can make stats say all kinds of things....

Ignoring runs by Cam? How convenient. Cam is just as much a part of the running game as JStew and DeAngelo.

total runs would include Cam, but they also include scrambles, etc. Since there is no "designed run" category on any stats page I have access to and I don't have access nor time to watch every single game, I thought it was fine to include "Total runs" with his scrambles.

On the other hand, it's interesting to look at our running back usage, because imo that is what most people are upset about when they complain about our running game not being properly utilized.

The read option is called by Chud and is 50/50 whether the RB gets the ball. And the Panthers are running that more and more each game. In fact, I think they ran it more against the Colts than in any other game.

That is what happens when you have a double digit lead in the second half.

yeah, though honestly i don't think we should go away from the run so much just 'cause a game is close, at least when our backs are gaining the yardage they are. Last week was frustrating in that I felt like we could have held off the Lions a bit more if we'd utilized our running game more.

And it worked quite well. I was talking to a buddy this morning before the game and said they should run the ball more and use that option play. I'm glad they did!

That may be true, but our overall number of carries has not gone up much since the middle of the season.

It looked like we ran the read option maybe three times this game. Perhaps I'm wrong there though. No idea how that compares to other games.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
