The he’s so young and inexperienced argument doesn’t fly with me anymore.

I fully expect Jones to revert to form at some point. That doesn’t negate the fact that he’s better than AR. That’s more of an indictment of AR than it is of Jones.

Jones is just making the layups. AR was doing it in camp as well, but maybe sitting and learning behind a veteran will benefit him, and he'll have all season and all of next offseason to refine his mechanics.

I agree with all of the points made in the above posts. A few things to add though.

Tyler Warren will be OROY.
Enough w/the stupid Danny Nickels shit.
Zaire may not even have 100 tackles this season and that's okay.
I'm getting slightly closer to getting off of JT's ass...He blocked, he caught and he ran well.
A little disappointed in the 4-man pass rush. We need to get more pressure, when only rushing 4.
My god, Lou Anarumo is a breath of fresh air!

I don't like anything about the Phins play, including Tua.

For me, this. Jones is what AR should have had year one. The team played like a professional team and Jones was a big part of that. He is a nice, hard working middle of the pack QB who works his ass off. Easy to root for and perfect right now but most likely not going to take us to promised land. Starting to see something to root for, hopefully.

Harbaugh?

That would be great. Not going that far quite yet. It was the first total game on offense and defense I can remember the Colts playing in years. That alone was huge. For one game actually looking like a well coached team was very nice.

The Dolphins were horrible, so I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic. That said, I was NOT expecting the Colts to play like that yesterday. They looked like a completely different team from last year. Especially on defense. Daniel Jones surprised me, but he cannot take hits like that one he took early in the first quarter. He will get injured. It probably would have hospitalized AR. I'm really excited to watch Warren. I usually hold my expectations on kids fresh out of college, but he looks like he's going to be very good/great. We haven't had a TE of that caliber since Dallas Clark. Anyway, that's enough for now. I was elated during and after the game. And the losing streak is OVER. Glad the site is back up!

To me, even if this proves to be fool's gold, the above is IT.

I have no idea how anyone inside the complex could justify that fucking dude being the DC last year. No fucking idea. Maybe the pics Ballard has are of him and Gus with the girls and Gus was holding out for some huge off the books severance???

Just seeing us do different things, attacking the receivers, pressing routes. Damn it was nice to see.

Denver did not look very good. Will be great to see if we can keep hot and not go flat while they try to bounce back. If so, I will feel a lot more confident that we are seeing the corner turn.
