It will probably come down to whether we can stop Henry in a nickle package. If we have to put 7 or 8 in the box Jones and Brown both have great stats against a 7 and 8 man front. Henry has great stats against 6 man fronts. It will be interesting to see how we handle.

I think there is less respect for the Titans on here because we have owned them for so long. Maybe less respect for them and too much respect for the jags bc they keep beating us.

As far as I can tell we have only owned the Texicans.

Indy has won 20 out of the last 25 against Tennessee and 28 out of the last 36 against. That's pretty much ownership in my book.

We beat their ass in the first meeting and played the 2nd game without Buckner and Taylor so yeah I don’t respect em especially when they lost a lot of offensive production out of 2 guys they let walk in free agency this was an act of desperation in my opinion one that doesn’t make the offense any better than we faced last year

And I’m still saying Wentz is a big improvement over Rivers so advantage Colts

Julio is a better player than what they lost.

I’m not sold on Wentz. He was god awful last year. Rivers had years of good seasons under his belt. How many does Wentz? 2-3? I’m hopeful he can turn it around, but not gonna delude myself.

Julio may be better than Davis which is debatable at this point in his career Davis still has potential to grow and got a lot of gritty yards for the Titans last year but no way Julio can equal the numbers Davis and Smith put up last year so the threat at TE is gone

As far as Wentz his entire season was equal to Mahomes on the Super bowl, running for his life trying to make shit happen. Solid line and a coach that’s great with QBs and restoring their confidence id say 35td 10 int is very possible

Julio will be more than threat enough then either of those guys. And their TE situation will be fine since both WRs will draw all the attention.

Wentz has mechanics issues, confidence issues, and he is on a new team. That’s a lot to fix in one off season. Like all the stories so far, but he hasn’t done anything yet.

He has mechanical issues no doubt. He knows that, so does Reich. I'm not sure that anyone can say for sure how bad his confidence in himself is. The new team is a net positive to me, not something that will hold him back. Reich wanted him and he knows him better than most. I don't think the guy is a savior, but I think the odds are better than not that he is average to slightly better than average with a slight risk that he sucks and a slight upside that the guy is brilliant. Given the circumstances I'm pretty pleased, at least before any games are played.

Look. Wentz played hero ball in 2019 as well and carried the team on his back to get them in playoffs.

In 2020 the wheels fell off and he felt he could do it again. This time the team around him was even worse and Wentz lost all control of his mechanics and decision making.

So I think that we have a a QB that can carry the team to victory when needed, which wasn't Rivers. But he won't have to do so on a weekly basis.

I couldn't ask for much more.

Philly has had a good oline for most of his career. Last year they had lots of injuries.

He’s never thrown 35 TDs in a season before.
