Disagree on this. The zone should be enough to slow Mariota. It all comes down to stopping Henry and Lewis. Hopefully Leonard shows up this week.

I don’t recall that happening much, if at all, last year. I could be wrong though.

Stephen Holder noticed the same thing and made a similar comment while he was reviewing the tape and writing up his article about Turay. He noted that Autry and Houston were dropping into coverage.

On an unrelated note, watch that clip closely and you can see DT Denico Autry dropping into coverage. Saw that a few times. Justin Houston too. Trying to mix it up against a really experienced QB, I guess. Wasn’t something we typically saw from the Colts in 2018.

After watching last weeks game I think we miss Sheard big time. There are other guys on the line that should be able to get pressure (that's why we drafted them) but Sheard's expertise against the run is hard to replace.

You are spot on. Sheard would have made a big difference. Still the LB play was not up to par either.

Walker and Leonard did not have gap discipline, Adams may as well not even be out there. He's starting to remind me of gawd awful Gilbert Gardner. Then Leonard going for the strip without securing the tackle, is something you never would've seen last season.
