    “He said the coaches are going to roll with the guys that do things the right way and come to work every day.”

    I’m good with kids who only bring it on Saturday. The ones that “bring it every day” seem to be bad at playing football. This is Mack speak that brings me into the CTJ camp. I get it is a carrot to get them to work harder, but unless they are playing XBox during practice what does it mean. It just always seems to be a way to play shittier players and get a cover story. 

    How do you give a kid playing time on Saturday if he looks like shit in practice? Based off his high school tape? Obviously, you have guys that you don't need to see practice because they've shown it on the field, but I don't think we have many of those on this team.

    If you’re an offensive recruit I think this game was still a net positive. Casey, Worthy and of course Bijan balled out even with a bad OL. Obv could be been way more positive though.

    If you’re on D, idk. Sure, early playing time opportunity but damn it’s hard to have faith in the coaches after that cluster. Tbh the scheme seemed ok, we had players in position to make plays most of the time. But individual performance (which is on coaches too) was a nightmare - missed tackles and gap assignments + those damn jump balls we couldn’t defend. 

    In what world was Casey good.

    Fuck all ya'll. The team played its ass off. The coaches coached their ass off.  It's stinks losing to OU, but the coaches literally schemed their way to almost winning that game.

    Our 2 biggest playmaker are a true freshman wide receiver and a sophomore running back.  

     

    We have an oline that is held together by bailing wire.

     

    And a new defense that is making due with I'll fitting parts from the previous regime. 

     

    Again it sucks to lose this one, but the team and coaches showed a hell of a lot to like.

    I agree. But I’m still hoping Arch can graduate a year early and reclassify.

    I didn't see anyone calling for Card, but it's impossible to read every page of this thread as fast as it updates. By the same token though, one get's the feeling that any criticism of Casey is taken by the hypersensitive as an implied call for Card to start. By them, there shalt be no criticism of Casey else it be hate.

    There's this odd support of Casey which I don't really understand. He hasn't done shit to show he's a good quarterback.

    Interesting read…

    Top 10 QBs of 2017…Sam was considered one of them. I wonder what happened to some of them.

     

    All are either in the NFL or still playing in NCAA.

    Mills, Tua, Mond, Sam, Fromm are in the league.

    Sears is competing for the job at Boise State. Brennan starting for LSU, McCaffrey starting for his dad at some shit school after multiple transfers, Tate is at UNLV, and Hunter Johnson is starting for Northwestern.

    MINNEAPOLIS — In a perfect world, the Colts’ quarterback picture would be crystal clear and the upcoming decision facing coach Frank Reich would be an easy one made plain by the performance on the field.

    This is not that world.

    After the second of three preseason games, the Colts’ quarterback picture is as clear as mud as Indianapolis plots its next moves in the absence of starting quarterback Carson Wentz (foot).

    With Wentz’s timeline still very unclear, the Colts are proceeding with the knowledge that one of their young quarterbacks — either Jacob Eason or Sam Ehlinger — could be pressed into action in Week 1 of the regular season.

    Here’s what we learned from the Colts’ 12-10 preseason victory over the Vikings on Saturday night.

    The QB situation is tenuous

    It’s hard to feel better about the Colts’ quarterback situation after this game. Neither Ehlinger nor Eason have pulled away in this competition. And you could argue that Saturday night represented a setback versus their performance against Carolina in Week 1 of the preseason.

    Perhaps the most damning statistic in this game is this: the Colts’ cumulative 5 passing yards per attempt. That is … gross.

    There were certainly lots of reasons the Colts didn’t find the end zone in this game. Ehlinger’s two interceptions were a big factor, as was the inaccuracy on some key throws by both quarterbacks. But 5 yards per attempt is the kind of production that is typically associated with the worst offenses in football.

    Reich was hoping to have an easy decision on whom to start in place of Wentz, if necessary. And he wanted to make that decision in the coming week. Now, he’ll likely have to postpone that call.

    “I’ve got to look at the film to make that determination, but my hunch is we’re probably going to need to see another week,” Reich said. “Both guys are doing enough. Both guys are showing good signs. Both guys have made mistakes, but that’s normal. … So, we have a whole week of practice and another preseason game.”

    The Colts visit Detroit for their third and final preseason game on Friday.

    Ehlinger got the start on Saturday, as promised, and did little to take advantage of the opportunity. He finished 8-of-13 for 70 yards in a quarter and a half of action. He bobbled the first snap of the game before throwing an incompletion on the subsequent pass attempt.

    He engineered a scoring drive on his second possession, setting up a 47-yard field goal, but followed that with an interception on a pass attempt to Parris Campbell on his next drive. It was unclear whether the trajectory of the pass was affected by a slight tip at the line of scrimmage. Either way, Troy Dye returned it 33 yards for a touchdown.

    Ehlinger later forced a pass over the middle to Ashton Dulin that was deflected by safety Camryn Bynum and ultimately intercepted by Jordon Scott.

    Ehlinger specifically lamented the lack of a touchdown. The Colts scored all their points on field goals.

    “It’s tough,” he said. “If you want to be a really successful team, you’ve got to be great in the red zone. It’s something we worked on and talk about all the time. We have to be better.”

    As for Eason, his biggest issue has been and continues to be consistency.

    He made some impressive throws in the game, such as a third-down completion to Dezmon Patmon on which he bootlegged and threw accurately and decisively on the run for 12 yards. It was the kind of play you might expect to see Wentz make when healthy, given his comfort level with throwing on the run. Eason also hit Patmon for a 28-yard deep shot earlier in the game.

    But the defining characteristic of Eason’s 2 1/2 quarters of work — he entered midway through the second quarter — was his inconsistency.

    “It was pitch and catch,” Eason said. “I had guys (open), and I threw behind them or early or late or whatever it was. You’ve got to make those throws.”

    Eason finished 16-of-27 (59.3 percent) for 132 yards (4.9 yards per attempt). Better than Ehlinger, perhaps, but also not good enough to inspire confidence that he could author a win against a challenging early-season schedule.

    It remains possible that Wentz could make a return in time for the season opener, but the Colts have stressed that Wentz has not yet pushed himself during rehab from foot surgery and the team cannot make a reasonable projection until he gets further down the road.
