That bodes well no matter who’s at quarterback

“Same old defense, different couch”? I had to double check to see if that submission came from Davenport, IA.

On to the Colts! Who do they have that the “couches” can watch out for?

Big plays. Of Anthony Richardson’s 212 passing yards vs. Houston, 171 came on three completions. Defensively, Indy didn’t stop the Texans’ ground game very well but had four sacks of Stroud, and those didn’t include pass-rush impact of the rookie first-rounder Latu, who had five pressures in just 31 snaps.

Hey II, with Malik Willis‘ ability as a “dual-threat” QB, will we see ML design some runs for him?

I would imagine so. I don’t think you want to get too crazy with it, but used smartly it can be a weapon.

Mike, just a gentle ribbing that in describing Jordan Love‘s injury, you missed a chance to use “antepenultimate,” one of my favorite words.

Ha, words like that make my head spin. I also don’t think in an important straight news story the reporter should use a fancy word almost nobody would understand, even if it’s accurate. If I were editorializing or writing something more lighthearted, I get your drift.

II, Which knee has the MCL, left or right? Since JL10 throws righthanded, right knee MCL would seem to be worse since he pushes off of that knee with throwing.

It’s his left knee. While I agree with you to an extent, it’s not just about being able to throw the ball. He needs to be able to move to avoid pass rushers and protect himself. Until he can do that, the Packers aren’t putting him out there.

Loved Mike’s WYMM on the run game. Very informative seeing what didn’t work, the adjustments made and the impact those had. Right when I think the zone run game maybe just doesn’t work as well there’s an example of it being executed slightly differently and working just fine. Very informative!

Glad you found it so. I left that game Friday night intensely curious as to how the run game was so stymied early on and so productive thereafter. After Josh Jacobs was held to just four yards on his first six carries, Jacobs and Emanuel Wilson combined for 126 yards on just 14 carries, a robust 9.0 average per tote. I think that bodes well no matter who’s at quarterback this week or next.

I forgot how much I appreciate WYMM. On play 2, had Morgan come off the combo…
