Lothar Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I'd like to start a thread like this (maybe YOLO or 26 can do this more justice) during the season as we prep for an opponent. I remember reading a few months back how the Colts were not a bad run defense while Arthur Jones was on the field last season. He was injured on the first drive during their preseason game against the Rams and is now in a walking boot. I don't wish bad luck on anyone but considering we'll be missing Dareus and McKelvin, I'd like all the help we can get week 1. Without him, we're talking a difference of nearly a yard more per carry. That's a big difference. Here’s a look at the type of impact Jones when he was on the field prior to the AFC Championship game last season. WITHOUT JONES ON THE FIELD 257 rushes for 1,201 yards (4.67 yards per rush) 3.12 yards before contact per rush 12 rushing TDs (4.7 percent of rushes) First downs allowed on 26 percent of rushes WITH JONES ON THE FIELD 165 rushes for 615 yards (3.73 yards per rush) 2.15 yards before contact per rush 2 rushing TDs (1.2 percent of rushes) First downs allowed on 22 percent of rushes http://scores.espn.go.com/blog/indianapolis-colts/post/_/id/13395/the-statistics-show-that-the-colts-need-art-jones-on-the-field-to-stop-the-run
aristocrat Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 ty hilton is on concussion protocol...of course i drafted him in fantasy
YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Any more news on Jones? I heard he was going to see a specialist after looking at the MRI...
KOKBILLS Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 ty hilton is on concussion protocol...of course i drafted him in fantasy Well...Hopefully he gets dizzy and falls down a lot if Darby is on him...
Utah John Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 The best shot for the Bills is to change Darby's number before every series, so Luck can't find him.
YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 The best shot for the Bills is to change Darby's number before every series, so Luck can't find him. he and Gilmore do have the same hair so maybe that will help
GaryPinC Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 The best shot for the Bills is to change Darby's number before every series, so Luck can't find him. Just have him and Gilmore exchange jerseys for the game.
Nanker Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 ty hilton is on concussion protocol...of course i drafted him in fantasy Any chance you can draft Luck soon?
thebandit27 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Who covers TY: Darby or Robey? I think they'll put Darby on him. Gilmore is the only guy that's physically a match for Andre Johnson, and he's basically shut him down twice in his career. Robey gets slot duty against Dorsett IMO.
sjjr Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Darby got beat pretty bad by Dorsett last season when they played in college. Have to hope McKelvin can go...
thebandit27 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Darby got beat pretty bad by Dorsett last season when they played in college. Have to hope McKelvin can go... Darby gave up 2 catches to Dorsett...just so happens one was a TD.
Maury Ballstein Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 whats the word on Leo ? Need him back stat.
YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 whats the word on Leo ? Need him back stat.expected back sometime in first month of season, but not game 1
EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 ty hilton is on concussion protocol...of course i drafted him in fantasy Yup, unclear week 1 status
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Who covers TY: Darby or Robey? Honestly I wouldnt be shocked if we rolled Graham or AW back out at #2 and used Darby at nickel.
JM57 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Honestly I wouldnt be shocked if we rolled Graham or AW back out at #2 and used Darby at nickel. I would be shocked if this was a tactic employed against the Colts. Other teams, yes. But not the Colts. Neither Williams or Graham have the long speed needed to cover T.Y. Hilton man to man. Gilmore may not even have it. Mckelvin does. I wish he were healthy. That being said, Gilmore sends to do his best work against bigger, more physical receivers. Match him up on Johnson and give Darby some serious over the top help against Hilton. And then pray.
Webster Guy Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 If Robey isnt on TY i will be surprised. Darby would get shredded, he isnt ready to play yet.
Chuck Wagon Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 The Colts Oline has really struggled so far this preseason. I really think this is set up well for a repeat of last year's week 1 where everyone counted us out. However I'm also growing more convinced we'll be getting a ticked off Brady in week 2.

The best pass D will be their pressure on Luck. Force quick throws and negate TY's deep speed.
