On to Indy

[DapperCam]

Looking forward to watching Hollins try to run under deep passes.

Coleman week to week and maybe beyond, that's not very helpful to determine a timetable. 

 

Probably means through the bye week if McD is being that "loose-lipped" about it

[BillsFan130]

Just heard McDermott:

 

Coleman week to week maybe more.

Cooper and Gilliam questionable

Amari is probably a long shot this week still, just my thoughts based on his recent comments about catching (gripping seemed fine).  Not confident he's ready until after the bye week.  Likely same with Keon, possibly longer.

TIme for Kincaid to really step up Sunday. 

[CNYfan]

Kincaid, Shakir, 85 (gets open actually), Knox, Samuel, Hollins and Virgil.  

 

Wow

[Blank Stare]

I’d like to see Hamler get a shot this week on a call up. 

[Johnnycage46]

Find a way to win this one Sunday...and then the KC game...probably lose (hey, maybe if we lose to them in the regular season this year we'll beat them in the playoffs)...bye week, come out of bye hopefully healthy with a 6-game season to wrap up strong.

[MasterStrategist]

Shakir and Kincaid are our 2 most important weapons to have on the field, so it's not all doom and gloom.

 

Guessing it will be Virgil (his last callup before he'd have to be promoted to 53),

and Shavers getting called up this week.

 

Going to need our backs to get even more involved in passing game/YAC.  And would be nice to see some more misdirection, be it jet sweeps, various screens/etc. Brady might need to manufacture some yards against a fast/aggressive Colts D.  Along with Josh running.

[Steptide]

If I'm the coaches, I'm using Ray Davis in a Christian mccafrey type role with Coleman out and possibly cooper

Hollins does not track a deep ball well.  But he's been ok on short to intermediate stuff where he is running somewhat parallel to the LOS.  He also blocks well.  Overall given lowish expectations, I think he's been fine. 

 

Cook also has issues with deep routes.  I hope they run a wheel route or three this week to Cook however.

Based off practice reports, seems to be trending towards Cooper and Coleman out?

 

Coleman officially out, Cooper I would bet will also be out based on how McDermott talked about him this morning. Didn't sound very hopeful. Honestly I would be surprised if either of them suited up for KC too, although I'm more hopeful for Cooper on that front.

 

Time for our defense to step up and carry the team for a couple weeks. Flacco sucks and the Colts offense has injuries of their own. The Chiefs offense is no juggernaut. We have a defensive head coach and a ton of investments on the DL. No reason that side of the ball shouldn't be able to keep both opponents below 24 points, and then the offense has to do just enough to eke out a win.

that hit he took from poyer, pisses me off all the more. 

[Process]

Kincaid really needs to step up. I don't think it's unfair to say he has been a disappointment this year, on pace for 627 yards 4 TDs. It's not all on him, Brady needs to make him a focal point, and Josh needs to feed him the ball.

Hamler should have got the call up when Shakir was hurt.

 

This team better be playing Cain this week, and actually use him.  This dumb crap of putting in Vigirl to just get his cardio in, is such a waste.

Sadly, this might be the reason they cleared another roster spot.  This will be his 3rd call up and will need to be signed to the active roster.

doesn't throwing 'maybe more' on the end of week-to-week kind of defeat the purpose

Agree completely.  If I had to bet, Cooper comes back after bye week and 50/50 on Keon.

 

Good thing on offense is we built our identity on the run game/short area passing attack.  Brady has plenty of options to generate a productive offense still.

 

This is the exact mold McD always talks about, complimentary football.  Need the defense to generate a couple turnovers and solid S/T play.
