Blinkscout Game 1 ... Colts ... Surrealism?
|
|
I almost can't take the game seriously because the Colts were rudderless and incompetent on offense.
But ... there is no denying the presence of an offensive identity and sense of urgency. There is also no denying some of the aggression and opportunism on defense.
The Great
1) Feeling like it might be worth it to be a fan again, rather than it just being a sign of stubbornness and loyalty.
2) Goff. Confidence, quick decision making, trusting his reads, running a hurry up, throwing catchable balls.
3) Quinn getting around the corner fast ... was not expecting him to get his "band" back (and it looks about 75% as far as what he got back to)
4) Brockers moving around and eating up blockers.
5) Trumaine and Joyner.
6) Offensive playcalling.
The Good
7) Gurley's acceleration and footwork. Oh, and his finish at the goal line.
8) Cooper Kupp. Yep. He dropped one and had a penalty so he's not in the Great section.
9) Sammy. It's just a pleasure to have a #1 draw coverage and still get open.
10) The Oline providing some time on longer developing routes.
11) Pass plays to Gurley seemed really well designed. From what I saw they were not enough like screens to signal the defense to stop their rush but there was always one extra blocker freed up ... was I seeing that correctly?
12) Hekker is a rock star.
13) Oh, Tyrunn Walker plays big. I like him at the 5 tech ... not on the nose.
The Bad
14) Run blocking is still not up to par ...
15) Run defense was a little scary at times, too.
16) Kayvon Webster plays one series and gets injured?
17) Austin fumbled a punt? Ugh ... okay only one more mandatory year, maybe he provides some fireworks on gadget plays.
College ... just bits and notable pieces.
18) Simmie Cobbs on Indiana is a man. 3 one handed contested catches against Ohio State. Just flat out the gate I'd have him top ten in next year's draft.
19) The Year of the Center! Good stuff ... to note? Mason Cole is playing left tackle at Michigan. The OG at Ohio State that's rated high is now playing center. Price?
20) Arden Key may be rated highest for edge players right now ... but Lorenzo Carter is the superior player in my opinion.
21) Clemson's D line is superior. Alabama's defense is unreal.
22) Im looking at drafting OT in round 1 and OC or CB in round 3 and 4.
Thoughts and comments welcome ...
