Belichick

[Colts And Orioles]

o


As long as we're talking about the enemy, one of their reporters has the Colts ranked 13th out of 32 teams overall in the NFL ......



14) l) The Patriots l) (9-4) ...... The Patriots are clearly in the Bills’ head. Sean McDermott & Co. continue to be tormented by Bill Belichick. And sitting atop the AFC, llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllll) they’re bound to be in plenty of other heads, as well.


13) l.. The Colts lllllll (7-6) ...... They hit their bye week by taking care of business against the Texans, and sneaking over .500. They’ll need the rest, with the llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllll,, Patriots, the Cardinals, and the Raiders on deck.

Following one team at deeper than surface level is more than most will do. Having a thoughtful opinion or understanding of every team in the league is nonsense.

Bill will 'try' to stop the run, but every team in the NFL has tried to do that since week 5, and only the Colts themselves kept Taylor from having a big day.

You can't lock down a run game with loaded boxes, and double a receiver. you need more than 11 guys to do that, and even though Bill will try anything to win, I'm pretty sure the colts will point 12 men on the field to the ref's if he tries that...lol.

TB tried to shut down Taylor with 89% loaded boxes in the first 3 quarters, and Wentz threw for 300 yards on them.

I'm more worried about Stephenson and the TE's, because Indy's Defense has trouble with TE's, and big Physical RB's.

Wentz also had two influential turnovers in that span. I do not like the Judon vs Eric Fisher matchup.

The Colts defense also struggles against accurate QBs. Jones is third in the league as a rookie.

There are different ways to look at what Belichick does. Above all he doesn't play your game, he makes you play his. That is what I am wanting for the Colts, play your game and make the other team work it out. With the personal we have I think that our team is built to run the ball first. If NE wants to go all out to try to stop the run then of course you pass. But don't let NE take the option of running the ball away from us.

I saw 3 Patriots get hurt Monday night, Judon, Damian Harris and Adrian Wilson. Not sure what their status will be next week, but I will not feel badly about facing a less than full strength Pats squad.
