**Titans at Colts**(-15.5, 48) 4:25 (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Ministry of Pain
- Start date
Yeah, this one has blowout written all over it. If I'm the Titans, I'm employing a very run heavy gameplan. Like, even if they are down multiple scores, run the ball. You aren't gonna develop Cam Ward by getting him killed. This game plan should be built around Tony Pollard (perhaps a trade showcase?)
Indy should be able to do mostly what they want. For whatever reason Tyler Warren is the best player in the NFL in the 1st quarter, and then mostly a non-factor thereafter. Sure would be interesting if they kept feeding him for an entire game. Taylor should eat, but I do think/wonder if the Colts maybe start resting him a little later in games like these. Not that you obviously don't start him, but its something that could start to happen. I think Alec Pierce is a decent bye week dart throw as he's been pretty consistently getting deep most weeks, and has been seeing more than just deep targets too. If Josh Downs is needed he'll be great, but he only plays in 3-WR sets, so the upside is limited. Its unfortunate, because he's probably their best WR, sort of the Jayden Reed dilemma.
Colts cover with ease.

The Colts are one of the worst pass defenses and ...it hasn't seemed to matter.
Cam has had some nice fourth quarters but no coming out game. I guess ya gotta hope for that.
Big Jeff and Snead are out. Brownlee in with NYJ. Barton played awful in spots and still waiting for James Williams to sub in as LBs would normally.
The offense should be largely rookies-
Ward hasn't looked very good.
Elic has been poor with a catch here n there masking that he's really struggled since he brought hope the first couple weeks.
Dike has a quarter of good play this year.
Gunnar has been just as good as in camp and the more desperate it gets the more I just want them to force it to the TE.
Ward's fourth round crew is still being judged like they were first or second round picks and now Ward is being held responsible for them playing like fourth rounders.
Van and Prosche can provide "don't forget about me" veteran play and each seem to be in way better shape than ever before. Still it's Van and Prosche.
It's too bad this game isn't being played in 2027. In 2025, I expect a bad blowout and worry of a divisional opponents hitting Cam with a little extra oomph. Not that the Colts would it's just how the world turns.
Taylor should get tired he gets so many yards and any game plan away from that is silly.
Jones hasn't stumbled thru the barrio this year and will probably play just fine too. They're down to Baker and McCreary.
I really wouldn't be surprised to see Chig outside this game. That might be fun to watch.
With the deadline looming, I wouldn't be surprised if Chig and McCreary and Key(if) are pulled once the game is out of hand

The Indiana Jones Story continues as The Colts get a semi-bye at home against The Titans
I don't think Jones will have to do much this week
The Titans offense is anemic and Taylor should have his way running the ball
Colts may be playing back ups the entire fourth quarter
so...
Indiana Jones In The Temple Of Doom- 38
Not So Titan Titans- 13

The Colts are in unfamiliar territory. They need to be buyers. They need CB and Edge help before it derails their season. Roger McCreary? Alontae Taylor? Cam Taylor-Britt? Bradley Chubb? Jaelan Phillips? One could argue that either of the Dolphins edge rushers could be a difference maker, but both come with huge injury risk, especially Phillips. With Charvarius Ward hurt and Walley out for the year, the Colts need cornerback help in the worst way. These defensive deficiencies could cause the Colts train to derail real fast and if they want to compete with some of the elite QBs still left on their schedule, they need to branch out into uncharted waters and makes some moves.

A lot of the pregame discussion has been the lack of effort and discipline from Titans players and how often veterans are displeased with others. Expecting a huge overhaul- as if they have a lot they can afford to lose- this offseason
Former players, where's pride when a Raiders coach says worst team in 25 years and Boutte calls the secondary lazy? Why didn't they come fired up like "i'll show you"

Colts 44 wouldn't get up off Spears
Spears kinda bouncing his hips let me up
Double penalties and a Colt talking some smack at McCoy who clearly said shut up
Then a nice wide run by Spears just turning on the jets
Colts gotta get their heads back. Easy win. No need to be dirty chippy

Pittman off to a good start, hope the Titans keep it close enough and encourage the Colts to keep throwing
They're throwing at whoever Armour Davis is covering and he hasn't been on him since.
Have to see who he's got
Interesting that they're avoiding Baker who they cut two years ago and Denard made into a real good CB. They look weak at CB besides Moore and like they could really use him
He had a nice catch Quandre almost punched out but he was "my ball!"
The other I remember was the great freeing up block. He just caught n run so I credit the blocker or mentioned him here
So Elic pulled up and I missed that and thought it was an overthrow

Taylor got to be MVP right now

Yeah
They've got a get some corners and extra OL, DL, LB to get ready for a run
Their D could be tougher and it would be brutal with him running all day
I definitely think there's a window here
