Surprising stat - Colts on third down
The colts are first in the league for both the total number of 3rd down conversions made (20), and the third down percentage (61%). We are almost 10% better than second place Tampa (52%).
Sure, very small sample and two decent games, but last year we converted only 38% on 3rd. The Falcons led this stat last year with 45%. To me this is coaching, focusing on getting to 3rd and manageable. If we convert over 50% of our third downs, good things will happen to this offense.

Under pagano, I was amazed how we constantly faced 3rd and long situations. Reich seems to understand how important it is to give ourselves a better opportunity to move the sticks

Amen. And because the Colts are often in 3rd-and-under-5, while keeping defense on toes with motion and personnel balance, it's been notable that a number of Colts' conversions have been WIDE OPEN. Going back to vanilla preseason, even.

It's a helluva more interesting to watch as well. I'm going to the game in Philly next week and can't wait to see it up close.

Couple of things:
* The running backs don't mess around. The Wilkins kid finds the hole,seam, whateveryoucallit, and gets down hill and + yardage. * When they call a pass, it's like the old Manning years, there was always a check down. A route where you get 4-5 yards and move the ball. * They build routes to get guys open. TY looked like he was having a lot of fun last week. |

The Colts have always been near the top of the league in third down conversions with a healthy Andrew Luck.

You should buy a #29 jersey and wear it proudly.

Lol.....yeah that couldn't possibly go badly. This is the fan base that eats horse poop when celebrating their Super Bowl win. Can't imagine a woman walking by advertising her "services" would be a problem.
