Prisco is not sold on us at all

how many players PROJECTED to start on the offense will have played the last season with the Colts?

Offense
QB
WR
TE (1)
RG
RT
total of 5 out of 11

D
RE
RT
LT
All of the LB's
2 of the 4 DBs
total of 8 of 11 on D

No problem! LOLOLOL

I want the to win every game, but I'm not crazy. Ok a little crazy but not that crazy

Good post. Send it to Prisco

Both lines better, Luck back with no Pagano. 11-5 more likely

Prisco used to be pretty complimentary of the Colts during the Manning era. He's not a hater like some of the espn douches.

Either way it doesn't matter what someone writes and predicts. We'll see the results on the field and they can write their stories afterward about those results.

Every team is even in July and August.

Every team's fan base looks at their team with rose colored glasses imagining about their regular season victories.

That being said, if Luck is even a pale shadow of his 2016 self (and for the record, I think he is going to ROCK), with the improved offensive systems, defensive system, coaching decisions, O-Line and D-Line, I think we will be much closer to 10 wins than 5 wins in 2018.

Minimum of 8 wins, maximum of 12 wins, IMO.

Walk Worthy,

That's about the way I see it as well. This defense could be bad enough to cost the team a few games, but this idea that Luck is going to come out and start slow is just nonsense to me. If anything, I'd expect the opposite. You have a competitor like Andrew Luck, who possesses the talent to be one of the best QBs in NFL history, who has been forced to sit, wait, and study for over a year now. He has to be chomping at the bit to get out there and perform. I'd be far more surprised at early struggles than I would at a career year (to this point).

I need to see if Andrew still has his fastball. If he doesn't, how many of his old throws will he no longer be able to make? If that's the case, can he make adjustments to offset it?

Too many unanswered questions to be so confident.

That's going to be more of a product of core and leg strength than anything, especially core strength, and I doubt he's let his training on those aspects slip. Having the shoulder healthy just allows him to access that power, which I doubt ever left.

Is the DL better? I'm not convinced of that at all.

Also Prisco has always been garbage. Even when he liked the Colts and picked them a lot it was for the wrong reasons.
