Colts RB Jonathan Taylor on his odd usage against the Packers and his role in the passing game generally. “We’ve got two other backs that are in the league for a reason… Don’t worry. Steichen’s got it.”

I feel like if JT isn’t worried about it then we shouldn’t be worried about his odd usage either from last week.
Nah Shane needs to learn this offense is a RUN 1st offense at this point. There is no reason we should be dropping AR back 30+ times a game when we are 10 points down and the defense actually decided to play in the second half. If we can get AR to about 20ish passes with 4-5 QB runs our offense will convert and keep the ball more.
Love it from JT but coach gotta at least keep him on some, even a play action to keep defences honest. With sermon in there is a low chance he’s rushing, he’s a pass blocker that can give JT a break.
lookin for silver linings everywhere and just seeing players confident that “steichens got it” makes me feel better that at least locker room isnt fully lost (even if steichen doesnt got it rn…)
It wasnt odd usage. Hell, look at his drop on 4th and 4 and youll see why there is no reason to play him in clear passing situations. Not a good enough blocker and his receiving ability is nowhere near good enough to justify not being good enough in pass protection.
Guys… we calling bad plays, dropping passes, not tackling, and giving up the big passes on defense to lull the league into underestimating us. Come on now, never hussled pool? Playing 5D chess with these fools! Right? …Right?
Team player.
*Sigh* Got dammit, Johnny boy…right in the feels.
Love that quote.
+20 team chemistry
Actually refreshing to hear
JT’s second to last run went for almost 30 yards. I know we were playing from behind and the clock was working against us, but why would you want to take that kind of production out of the equation for the entire 4th quarter?
