On to Indy

Any chance Curtis Samuel is back this week?  His production has been crap thus far, but I still feel he can make a contribution once he's healthy.

Believe it or not he actually played last week haha.

Just didn't do anything

Really not liking how this is shaping up on offense this week.  Looking like Shakir and Hollins as our WRs.  We thought we were thin at WR before.  Man.....this isn't ideal.  That said, while I doubt it will happen, I'd like to see KJ Hamler get some run and try to add so speed to the position.  But he has kind of been the forgotten man to this point.  Wasn't even the 2nd WR elevation.  But we really could use someone to stretch the field and the guys we have just don't do that.

Time for RBs to play as WRs.  Thurman was as good as a WR and hopefully one of our RBs can play that well.

They can line up cook on the outside and Davis on the back field.  Brady needs to get creative on Sunday

Where did you get this from? 
 

They’re giving up 4.4 Y/C (15th of 32) seeing the 2nd most rushing attempts in the league,  and allowing 150 Y/G (31st of 32). 
 

If you want to look at the split for the last three games, they are slightly better than their season average, but they still aren’t good by any metric I can see. 

 

DeForest Buckner who is one of the best DTs in the league missed 5 straight games and has returned for the last two.

 

I believe if you looked at the stats you would see that his return has made a big difference in their run defense.

 

Just a guess.

I’ve got a feeling cooper could’ve gone last week if he really had to and will probably play

Minnesota rushed for over 130/4.2 ypc and they’re not a particular good rushing team.  Vikings only issue was Darnold turning the ball over  

 

Texans offense has been a mess without Nico but Indy did a better job against them than minny

Well that 2 game sample size tells a partial story.

 

I'm not gonna bother crunching the numbers but I'm thinking the Colts rush D stats are better in the 4 games Buckner played than in the 5 that he didn't.
