    Do you know why Luck has been awful? Because he's been pressured significantly...and the defensive backs he has faced have made him pay.

    What have you seen that makes you think we will be raising terror in the backfield...or that our secondary will actually create turnovers?

    It's nice to wish these things, though.

    Put Jalean Strong on the field. Make Worthy go deep. Play Arian as a wide-out. The Colts have ONE good defensive back. Make 'em pay.

    This has been my issue with OB...the offense is not creative at all...and they dont try to exploit mismatches on the field (if any exist). You have to find the other teams weakness and keep hammering it over and over.

    They have to get creative, they have to get aggressive. There really is no other way.

    And our blitzing sucks. We need to fix that.

    They might have ZERO quality defensive backs

    That would require him to turn around and go after the ball

    I wouldn't mind giving backups like Jumal Rolle and Daryl Morris a look every now and then. They were ball hawks in the little playing time they got last year.

    Isn't it coaching strategy to sit back? We don't press much and that's allowed for a lot of easy catches. Hankerson was making it look easy out there.

    I'm not sure that's on Kareem. We have a bend not break defense and it isn't working.

    Yup, too much cushion. That bend but don't break strategy only really works if you're able to either create turnovers or get sacks…because at some point, with one of those two things happening, the opposing teams drive will stall or come to an end. Texans are bending…but then aren't getting sacks or turnovers, so that results in easy points.
