Can Daniel Jones and Colts Duplicate Week 1 Success?

I don't want to hear any more slander about Daniel Jones! Jonathan Taylor got his revenge game! Offensive line played great! Special teams player of the week? Xavien Howard... Cam Bynum!!!

It's not all about the Quarterback for a team to be successful, but in today's professional league, it is a major factor. Shane Steichen and Lou Anarumo are huge factors in the team's future. But talent is needed around a ball club, both on offense, and defense, and the play calling on both sides needs to be sufficient as well. Indy has talent on both sides of the football, but 2 position groups have to play well week in, and week out for the Colts to continue their success, and it is NOT the QB!

So many Daniel Jones haters said the Colts would get destroyed by the Dolphins, and there was no chance Indy could win. Daniel had one heck of a game, with 3 total touchdowns, and no turnovers, while throwing for 76% completions! In the meantime, Defensive coordinator: Lou Anarumo's defense stifled and confused a high octane offense. Accounting for 3 sacks, and 3 turnovers! Not allowing 100 yards or any points, until 20 minutes left in the game when Indy had a commanding lead.

Why did Daniel Jones get the start over Anthony Richardson? The Colts need to keep everything in front of them on defense! Biggest worry on defense is linebacker. Indy's offensive starters are not a problem. Be consistent, and quick with reads in the passing game. Run the damn ball! Predictions!

Jim Bob discusses the offense, and how he is very happy with how the tight ends are progressing. Lou Anarumo answers questions about his defense, and how the defensive backs are performing. Brian Mason takes questions about the special teams, and how there is no live tackle periods during training camp for his group. Adonai Mitchell had a very good day, and breaks down one of his diving sideline endzone catches.

Thoughts on Jim Irsay. The defense should be WAY better. The Wide Receivers are set. Tight Ends should also be set, need some to step up. The middle of the Offensive Line is still worrisome. May the best man win the Quarterback battle.

Everyone's favorite national football analyst is BACK with a brand new episode of the Bucky Brooks show. This time he tackles the start of Mandatory mini camps this week as the never ending NFL news mill turns. Aaron Rodgers has officially signed with the Steelers and the details of that deal have come to light. Jaire Alexander has been cut and Nick Chubb signs with the Texans, Bucky looks at what this season could look like for both of them. Lastly, he gets into Anthony Richardson's ongoing situation and what a continuation of his injury could look like for him. All that and much more on this episode of the Bucky Brooks show!

The move from linebacker to safety? How he balances being aggressive, as opposed to being safe. Has he had contact with Jonathan Taylor, or any other Badgers? How he deals with injuries. How frustrated was he when he was picked much later than expected? Making tackles vs getting a big hit, is more important as a safety.

The difference between playing on an Ivy league team and Iowa St. What positions are expected from him by the Indianapolis Colts? Diving into him being an intern for a senator. His vertical at the Combine was insane!

The Indianapolis Colts need to do some soul searching after the loss to the New York Giants. Jim Irsay wants to continue to keep the team in the family. Chis Ballard probably will be fired, but will it change anything? Is Shane Steichen the right guy to be the head coach? Steichen's response to Pat McAfee's comments on the organization was a bad look. It takes a certain leadership to reign in players coming out of college today. Colts need a new culture, because money is more important than the team winning games. There is a difference between 'keeping it in house', and lying to media and fans. Why is Carlie Irsay on the sidelines, instead of in a box like other owners? What is Jim-Bob Cooter's job as an Offensive Coordinator in this regime?
