Quick Recap: Colts 31-Titans 9

205 comments
The Colts started this game off rocky. They scored early on a Peyton Manning to Reggie Wayne TD, but penalties, miscues, and turnovers allowed the Titans to get into the red zone Colts territory three times. However, in all three cases, the Titans were denied the endzone. The Titans settled for field goals, which were not enough to stop the juggernaut that is Peyton Manning and the Colts offense.
The games was, in many ways, a coming out party for rookie wide receiver Austin Collie. For the last two weeks, it's been Pierre Garçon with the big plays. Tonight, Collie got in on the action. His 39 yard TD reception just before halftime was a thing of beauty, fighting for the TD between Titans defenders. Collie caught 8 balls for 97 yards and 2 TDs, and his TD before the half with 17 seconds left from Manning really seemed to break the Titans back. The TD drive was done in 57 seconds and started at Indy's 7 yard line.
The game was also provided much maligned cornerback Tim Jennings with a bit of redemption. After committing a terrible mistake early in the game on a Colts punt return, bumping into T.J. Rushing and causing a costly fumble, Jennings (who was benched tonight in favor of Jacob Lacey) played inspired football. On the Titans first drive to open the third quarter, Jennings made an outstanding INT, outfighting Titans receiver Justin Gage Nate Washington for the football on a quick slant. Lacey also played a whale of a game, showcasing some impressive coverage skills.
The Colts offense took over and turned Jennings' INT into a touchdown, Manning's second of the night to Collie.
Defensively, Larry Coyer's unit shut down the Titans rushing attack, limiting them to just 90 yards. This is now the third week in a row the Colts have completely dominated another team's running game. In addition, the Colts pass defense held Titans quarterback Kerry Collins to just 164 yards passing.
Yes, there were some sore spots, namely Tony Ugoh, who played about as bad at left tackle as I've ever seen a tackle play. I don't know if it was his knee that hurt his game, or if he has become THAT bad. Daniel Federkeil eventually replaced Ugoh in the second half.
However, regardless of some these issues, the Colts are and they have looked dominant getting to this point. Peyton Manning has thrown for over 300 yards in five consecutive games. The defense has held yet another opponent under 20 points.
Now the team moves into the bye week, looking to get healthy and clean up some of these sore spots. 5-0 looks and feels good!
Go Colts!

peyton completed
82% of his passes, wow
as bad as Ugoh was, I thought Pollack was at least twice as bad. He pretty much did nothing right tonight

Tony Ugoh was better than Charlie Johnson or someething. It was at the beginning of the year when Caldwell benched Ugoh for Johnson.

None of us here had seen CJ play at the level he's been at this year.
there were probably several posts to that effect here and they probably when over very well.

Rookie of the Year?
I know it is early in the season, but if this keeps up, I think Austin Collie could see some serious consideration for the RoY Honors!

I dont understand how this guy fell to us in the 4th round, he lead the nation in recieving yards last year and was a 1st team All-American. I know he is a couple years older than most rookies b/c of his missionary work, bit that that tells me that he has more maturity and absolutly zero character issues. He does not look like a rookie anymore, his rookie year was the first 2 or 3 games of the year.

Moutain West Actually
Easy mistake:-) That is true, the Mountain West gets no love. Although Utah put down Alabama in the bowl last year and BYU took out Oklahoma in the opener this year. At times the Mountain West looks like more of a BCS conference than the big east. Collie has become a big time player for us and I dont see him looking back, the man studies film just like 18 does and has earned his trust. He is going to have a big year!

Slot specialists never get love
Wes Welker? Undrafted. Brandon Stokley? 4th round. Patrick Crayton? 7th round.
NFL teams fall in love with the blazing speed outside at receiver and can usually pick up a guy with good route running, a willingness to go over the middle and solid hands in the middle rounds. So they generally do.

Slot
Collie was not a slot reciever in college, he was a #1. However, he is a slot now and if he becomes the enduring target that it appears he will be for manning, he is going to put up some nasty numbers this year! He gets better every game, and it shows!
by GuruBlue on Oct 12, 2009 12:16 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yep
But nobody projected him to be a #1 or #2 receiver in the NFL. If he was getting drafted, it was either as depth or to play slot.
College is not the NFL.

What a great game for Collie. Awesome plays, key TD’s and 3rd down conversions. The interview at the end of the game shows just how he works during the week for game. Let’s hope he keeps this up!

The footage isn't online,
but I still have the game recorded on my DVR, so I’ll transcribe it for you. Peyton talked to Andrea Kramer first, so I’ll just skip to the Collie part.
Andrea Kramer: "Alright Austin, you’re not at BYU anymore, you’re now catching passes from Peyton Manning. How have you made this transition to the pros and to the Colt offense?
Austin Collie: “I think it just helps with the leadership that we got. I mean with Peyton, and Reggie, and Dallas, and you know, Anthony, and also with Coach Christensen. I mean, they were tremendous help. You know every day I make mistakes. Every day, I’m doing something wrong.”
Peyton Manning: “I remind you of that, right?”
Collie: (laughing) "Every day. No, but they’ve a been tremendous help just being patient with me, and I think, being patient with myself has been, you know, one of the key things in, like I said I mean, just the help from everybody.
Kramer: “Alright guys, thanks a lot. Enjoy the bye week.”

anyone pick up on issues for Ugoh run blocking?
the only times I noticed him he was doing horrible pass blocking or very well run blocking. What does it say that my mancrush on him has turned into hoping his career can go the Robert Gallery route?

I didn't see any run blocking issues.
Most of the run blocking issues from what I saw were DT penetration in the middle of the line. The pass blocking was horrible, as you said.

Ugoh reminds me of a turnstile
at the Metro….he just lets everyone by. It might be worth it to try him in Pollak’s place. If Ugoh didn’t suck so much last night, it would have been even more evident how bad Pollak is.

But we’re not going 5-11. I can guarantee that. I think it’s fair to talk about clinching possibilities now that the rest of the teams in our division are imploding.

is because they deserve some rest and we get more time to get back the injureds.
Ok a second reason is because I’ll be driving from SoCal to NoCal and wouldn’t be able to scream/cheer at the radio with my hubby in the car! :-)

Yeah, I think skill sets,
maturity, character, “straight-line smarts,” and football intelligence are more important to them than stat accumulation. This year they happened to get two NCAA stat leaders. Coincidence.
I mean, really, if Usain Bolt led the nation with 2,000 receiving yards, but he only ran one route and his stone hands led to 50 drops, do you think we’d ever grab him? The short answer is, of course, Al Davis.

is w/out a doubt the greatest WR in BYU history and probably the best in MWC history. BYU fans desperately wanted him to return for a senior season. His junior year in Provo was among the most dominating performances a WR has had in the NCAA. Still, we’re proud of him and send Colts’ fans our congrats!

Collinsworth also established his criteria for greatest all-time QBs
and 2 SBs was a short list requirement. Then he included Marino on his list, before realizing, um, oops. He is a Brady-loving, Manning-hating omni-tool who will rank individual offensive players based on how well their D performs in big games. And he’s paid to speak to millions of people each week………..

I think they are both pedestrian, but neither is as bad as they look on this team. There are a few QBs with weak arms boot decent accuracy that make it in this league (garcia and pennington to name two current ones), I would imagine Quinn would atleast be serviceable in a better situation.

He played at a popular college which was good at the time so got on TV a lot, and now everyone thinks he’s better than he is.
Lots of people were great in college. That doesn’t always translate to being any good in the NFL. Quinn’s not a bust, yet, but he’s not been anything more than a mediocre NFL player so far.

Most draft “experts” thought he would have a HOF career while Peyton would’ve been a Trent Difler ( no offense to Trent).

He might be talented, but right now, he’s not very good. And the playcalling isn’t the only reason. (Actually the bigger problem is probably the Browns utterly inept offensive line).

That's bullshit
The coaches (again) are completely clueless.
Anderson went 2 for 17 today. Quinn’s completion % was over 60. Every play they called for Quinn was a short pass, rather than letting him throw the ball.
Quinn also played against Minnesota, Denver, and Baltimore, 3 of the top defenses in the league. Anderson was absolutely awful against the Bills, who I have as the 30th best defense.
by mgrex03 on Oct 12, 2009 12:27 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
So why does Anderson sling the ball
But not Quinn? You’re telling me the coaches go from calling short passes for Quinn to deep balls for Anderson just because, I dunno, they like to mess with Quinn?
The playcalling might be a problem, but the coaches would call deep balls for Quinn if they thought he could make them. If they’re calling short passes, there’s a reason.

Things
1) Manning really seems to like Austin Collie. Ive never seen him react to someone the way he reacts to Collie scoring TDs. I think the extra throw at the end of the game was an attempt by Manning to get Collie 100 yards receiving.
I hate to make this Favre-esque comment, but Manning really seems to be having fun out there, for the first time in a long time, he’s all business about moving the ball, but he’s smiling, laughing, joking. It’s really awesome to see.
2) Ugoh… I guess we know how CJ beat him out, huh? How about Ugoh, one of our receivers (take your pick), one of our safeties (take your pick), and Mike Pollak for the left side of the Minnesota OL? Isn’t this team a right guard and left tackle away from full season domination? (Before anyone comments, the trade comment is more a joke, Id like to trade for those positions, but it would never happen)
3) Quietly, specials teams (the important part – coverage) have been real good. Now we just have to go back to the old Pyatt / Troy Walters method – every punt is a fair catch, every kick is a touchback. McAfee has been really good.
4) D – FENCE. Zoinks, they are flying. I mean, does anyone else get the feeling that most of them are saying, ‘for 7 years we’ve been told we cant cover, cant stop the run, and arent aggressive, well, F U’? They just fly, and I feel comfortable saying that, now. Miami was clearly the outlier, these guys penetrate, they hit their gaps, they tackle. The DTs are doing what we need DTs to do, LBs are filling, CBs (even the Fing rookies) are supporting, its pretty awesome. Also, unlike years past, no one is getting solo tackles for the most part. Someone is the first there, but he has friends QUICKLY.
5) Powers – Okay, we all know he’s good, but if you go back and watch the 3rd and 4th quarter, wow. This guy was Marlin Jackson, only a little smaller. He was playing the slot, he was jamming, he was blitzing, he was tackling. He has more troubling holding up on his blitzes than Marlin, but this guy is AWESOME. Lacey was very good in coverage, too. He had some big cushions, but that was mostly after the lead was huge.
6) BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG PLUS to Caldwell. THe first big difference between Caldwell and Dungy tonight – 4th and 1, 2nd drive in the first quarter, division game. Go for the 3 or go for the throat? Caldwell went for the throat. I don’t care if they don’t get it, make a statement, trust the best offense and QB in the league. Well played, sir, well played.
7) Could have included this in the Ugoh/Pollak talk, but Diem’s stock is dropping more than an american bank. There was one sprint draw tonight where if he just holds his block, Addai gains 52 miles. Instead, he kinda blocks the DE and then moves down the field – while his RB is laying in the fetal position.

I don't know. I THINK I disagree
Not that he’s not enjoying himself, but I get the distinct impresson that he is so consumed by gunning for perfection each and every snap, that even achieving it won’t be “fun” for him like normal people understand it. It will be “okay, that’s the way we want it. Now what’s next?”
I know he has a rep for practical jokes, but even then I suspect the satisfaction for him is in pulling off something clever and complicated, rather than just getting silly. Does he ever ROFL? I hope so, but can’t imagine it.
Maybe he can turn it on/off, but I get the impression his wife must be a saint because for most of the year and about 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, this is everything to him. The results certainly support that—he wins through insane preparation.

That is quite the compliment considering Collie is just a rook and Manning has played with such tremendous wide-outs. There were those reports out of Colts training camp that Manning was pretty thrilled about his newest target, but I didn’t anticipate it being such a solid relationship already…

I don’t ever remember seeing him give any player a full on bear hug after a regular season touchdown. High fives or something, yes. But he ran down to the end zone, high fived him, then hugged him on the sideline. PRobably reading way too much into it, but like i said, but its cool to see.

CJ's miles off being Pro Bowl
He’s barely above replacement level. Only the fact his competition is Ugoh is keeping him on the field and we still have to throw him support in Robinson more often than not.
Peyton, Wayne and Clark all should easily make it to the Pro Bowl. The defensive ends should too but there are always big names at that position who make it on reputation rather than performance, so one might miss out.

Bob
should be ready…I think he could have played tonight, but hey…we did fine without him. I think that look he had in his eyes scared the shit outta the Titans even though he didnt play lol

Agree
I think they knew he wouldn’t play…they just wanted him on the sidelines to mean-mug the Titans.

I think the only way he's not back for that game
is if he suddenly goes on IR. He should be ready very soon, although Polian mentioned that Gonzo isn’t a fast healer (unlike our boy Freeney).

Check out 18to88's photo summary

I also love this comment from Demond:
I’m not sure whether the dumpster is on fire or the ship is sinking… or both.

From 0:14 to 0:21 are possibly the happiest 7 seconds of my life.

Not gonna happen.
The NFL would take that down in a second. You’re best bet is to wait for NFL Network to show it in their “Classic Games” series, record it, and then never delete it from your DVR.

I would bet
the NFL network will reair that game before the Pats/Colts game in november…

2007 AFC Championship Game
Greatest game in the history of the NFL. I never knew that Rhodes had fumbled that ball until the next day. I thought Rhodes had scored, so I was cheering and didn’t hear them say he fumbled. I will never forget that game as long as I live.

Random thought:
Ugoh seems to hold up better against people that cant blow by him, and he’s better in run blocking than pass blocking… What do we think about trying Ugoh at guard when CJ is healthy? I can’t imagine he’d be worse than MP/KD.
by SpazMo on Oct 12, 2009 12:57 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
That's what I want
IIRC he was going to be a backup guard before Glenn retired. He is a very good run blocker. So is CJ. Having both of them out there on running plays would be fantastic.

He played guard in preseason
And looked actually pretty solid. His biggest weakness is getting beaten in space, keep him inside and his biggest weakness would be compensated for.

Tim (douchery) Jennings
I think if we could trade this guy for a couple of sweat towels and a water cooler we should take it. His inconsistency is a hindrance and the times he does make a play, like the INT tonight, does not nullify his lack of coverage skills and complete lack of awareness and intelligence required to be a good corner. With Lacey and Powers, and of course a healthy MJax and Hayden, we have arguable one of the best secondary in the league. Why is he still on this team?

You answered your own question: “With a healthy MJax and Hayden”.
by slash196 on Oct 12, 2009 8:44 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Tim Jennings is a GREAT special teams player.
Once Hayden plays TJ will just be a ST player, which is where he is good. So once the injuries are over with it will be better.
The way our defense is set up, it puts me in situations where I'm one-on-one in making tackles on running backs. When I go into it, I think I am going to win. It really doesn't matter the size, height, weight, whatever. I'm not afraid of putting my body in there." - Bob Sanders
