    Statistically he hasn't though. So the only thing that has changed is TD/INT stats which he played several top defenses in a new offense at the beginning of the year. Tape says same player. Can't preach it any differently.

    It's called hate watching. I do it with the Rockets now when they ignore Reed Sheppard who should be getting high volume opportunities. We all do it. Just call it what it is.

    Pull it up to the 7:55 minute mark.

    Former players that watch tape and understand play.

    Let's keep it objective.





    Colts give up 17ppg at home. The lowest ppg given up compared to all defenses these Qb's faced.

    CJ played a top 10 game against the hardest defense including road away splits out of all QB's.....

    Anyone trying to say he didn't play well is agenda pushing.

    BTG raises a good point here. CJ and the offense did not look quite right yesterday. To me the play calling looked extremely vanilla. It was as if Caley was trying to play if safe and not take risks by attempting to attack and exploit weaknesses in the Colts D. If you watched the Broncos’ offense last night you saw an offense that was geared to constantly attack the Commanders. That’s not what you are seeing here. Here, you see an offense that’s doing the bare minimum just to score 20 points and then hope the defense can save the day. While it appears to be working out so far, the time will come when it’ll be the offense’s turn to save the day and I just don’t feel they will be up to the challenge.

    If we get the KC from last week then I can agree with you. It will be interesting to see what a desperate KC with its back to wall looks like.

    They were constantly attacking the colts. You need a first down, to continue the drive. And this team keeps pretending it's something that it's not, tough run up the middle for positive yards. Don't forget that before the Stover Rover push fails came 2 chunk plays to get there.
    Same before half time.

    I wish we had a running game for those pne yard drive killers. Bills hide an atrocious passer day with 155 from cook.

    Fortunately Jaylen Reed might not be done for the season. Also Jimmy Ward has been one of the worst acquisitions.

    The Broncos have an elite playcaller and a o-line you can trust. The Commies with Kingsbury also elite playcallers.

    It's simply not the identity of the Texans right now. Once the o-line proves to be more resilient, Caley can open up the playbook, Stroud will start trusting that he will get time more. It's all a combination of factors.

    CJ is more conservative right now with the ball, and he's missing the swag that he was playing with in his rookie year. Let's hope that he can bring that back as he gains more confidence in the team around him.
