So, another preseason game, another putrid performance by the Colts starters, in particular Curtis Painter. The Colts offense, comprised mostly of projected starters, drove for one first down in the first half.
One.
Meanwhile, Indy's defense surrendered 16 first downs, 160 rushing yards, and 16 points by halftime. The halftime stats pretty much tell you all you need to know about the game:
The positive is that Colts reserve quarterback Dan Orlovsky played very well tonight, especially considering he had awful protection and shotty craptastic receivers, Taj Smith in particular. Yeah, I know Orlovsky had a pick in the late fourth quarter, but that was Orlovsky trying to make a play.
Like with Tom Brandstater last year, it's obvious Orlovsky is better than Curtis Painter.
The immediate concern is that the play of Colts starters on offense and defense. Both looked terrible. Notable injury news involved Antoine Bethea, who left the game early with a hamstring.
Probably the most interesting part of the game was when Colts media mouthpiece Jeffrey Gorman interviewed tight end Dallas Clark about training camp. Clark said that camp and practices were going well, but, Clark stated in a tone implying annoyance:
'You'd like to see it carry over a little more in the games.'
Interesting how Dallas deviated from the normal 'blah, blah, blah' talking points for preseason. Gorman then asked if Dallas Clark 'liked' the football team. Don't ask me why Gorman asked him that. WTF is Dallas supposed to answer? 'Oh, I think we suck grape nuts, Jeffrey! We'll go 3-13 this year.'
It was a pretty stupid question. Par for the course for Gorman.

I think I'm gonna watch Two Girls and a Cup to compare which was worse
I don’t much positive to take from this game. Good work to the guys who went out there with intent to actually play. For the rest of them (and there’s a long list of them), I feel ashed to call myself a Colts fan in the month of August.

Two Girls and a Cup???? You are one sick puppy. I like you.
As Bad As It Gets
Its bad folks. I live outside of Washington DC and I can’t tell you how much the Redskins Network (incl. HOF Sonny Jurgensen) were crowing about the ‘Skins and how absolutely bad the Colts, especially Curtis Painter, looked. The Colts defense made prospective Redskin starter John Beck look like Aaron Rodgers. Meanwhile Painter made the Colts’ offense look like Slippery Rock University….
On second thought, my apologies to Slippery Rock University. He made our team look a lot worse.
I wonder if Jurgenson was calling the game with a beer in hand.
"Take that baby out and paint some flames on it!" Peyton Manning
I think Trey Wingo said it best...."Colts not choosing to participate."
I sat through most of the first half before getting pissed and shutting the game off. It’s one thing not to care about results. It’s another to get your ass kicked up and down the field for 6 quarters (it might have been 8, but I didn’t watch the last two).
This is the Colts basically saying fuck you to the fans, other teams, and the NFL. We barely tried. We don’t play with any cohesiveness at all with massive substitutions. We don’t play with ANY game plan, not even a basic vanilla one. Other teams are doing the opposite, and embarassing us. Look, I know the Colts don’t care about preseason, but if you just want to get your ass completely kicked, hire a CFL team to do it in private. Do not put on a Colts uniform, charge people to show up and televise it.
I don’t expect to win. I don’t expect a great game. I do expect a little effort, say more than ten net yards and a first down in the whole first half. And while I’m dreaming, stop a fucking drive. Just one or two would be fine. This was an embarrassing joke, even for preseason.

Agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed.........
At least if a movie is F-Upped enough you can get your money back. The unfortunate fans who attended this game do not get the same privileges. I’m surprised this team is capable of keeping their heads up after the performance they displayed.

Thoughts
Negatives
1. Painter is really really bad. His nervousness and insecurity attaches itself to the other players and creates a bad overall impression.
2. The defense, as usual, cannot stop the run. The young, inexperienced LBs that the coaching staff / front office refuses to address year after year, continue to be undisciplined and therefore overpursue gaps, create HUGE running lanes and are below average in zone coverage. Brackett, the defensive captain, is a bad tackler and should not be making rookie mistakes (overpursuing a run that should be stopped out of bounds for 1 yard gain and turning it into a 40 yard run). C’mon man.
3. Lacy is garbage. Whether it is his actual skill level, or the coaching staff insisting that he play 10 yards off every play, it never fails that he will give up 10 yards when 9 are needed, or 8 yards when 7 are needed, etc. He can’t be counted on to make a play and it is infuriating. I haven’t even seen Tryon out there. Is he injured?
4. Other teams will play press coverage and be aggressive against the Colts. If Coyer is allegedly moving to a more man-to-man aggressive defense, why do we never see press coverage? Preseason is the perfect time to try these new things and see how players react in certain situations. I, for one, would like to see how Kevin Thomas plays in man to man instead of putting him out there in zone.
5. The offensive line has a perfect opportunity to become a cohesive unit in game situations that don’t have consequence. It was my understanding that Diem would be at RG and Link or Ijalana would be at RT. Tonight, they once again started a different lineup on the O line which further retards the progress of the rookies IMO. I just want to see some stability on the line so the transition to regular season w/ #18 is as smooth as possible.
Positives
1. Nevis looked even better. This guy is going to be a beast in passing situations and with time he can develop into a 3 down DT and this D line can be great.
2. Orlovsky isn’t that good either, but at least he has enough confidence to give the other players a belief that something can happen while he is in the game. Painter offers zero confidence.
3. Caldwell didn’t have a chance to call any ill-fated timeouts.
4. McAfee and Vinny both look great.
5. Powers has not been injured yet.
And two more things…the tackling is just absolutely horrible and needs to be correct first. The defense needs to be able to force at least 2 three and outs in a game. Is that so much to ask? Second, don’t underestimate the difference in this team when Manning is coming onto the field. Just as Bob Sanders used to make the defensive mindset completely different, Manning does that for the whole team. The entire complexion of a game is changed once Manning steps onto the field.
Patience friends. I recommend not even watching preseason games without understanding that the Colts will suck and a loss is nearly a guarantee every game.

At this point, what is needed from game 3?
Do you try and get a somewhat cohesive quarter out of the “starting unit” minus Manning. If it was me I’d put Orlovsky in there and see if he can move the ball at all. Painter cannot play in a live game. It’s that simple so why waste everyone’s time.
If you are not going to go with that, put the “second unit” in and let them play for a half. Let them try and act like a group of guys who are playing together. Give them a vanilla game plan that someone who has never looked at a playbook can understand and see if anyone steps up.
What we have now is pointless. You could take any 11 guys in the NFL, never haven met each other, and get this result. I’d like to think that there was more to the last two weeks than golf games and strip clubs.

IDK
I agree they should start Orlovsky to see how he does with the first team. I think they should do more evaluation of the way that the line is going to run block…to many passing attempts to me. They have seen what they need to out of the backup QBs, now they need to assess which O line can run block best so they can gain some confidence for those 3rd and 2 and 3rd and 1 attempts in the regular season.

Maybe it doesn't carry over to games
because in practice the 1st team offense is going against the first team defense, which could make any offense look good.
I am going to assume this is NOT the team we will be seeing on 9/11
The first half of this game was just painful. Painful, painful, painful. I wish I was only talking about the offense. However, the Skins O ran through our defense and John Beck had all the time in the world to make plays. I did think the O-line provided some nice protection, it is not their fault both Painter and Orlovsky suck.
The second half produced some nice moments with the defense and Delone Carter. Overall, just another bad performance by a Colts team that looks really unprepared.

Was in section 408
So I didn’t have the ability to rewind and watch stuff over. In addition, I was there with my little girls so I was partially distracted. Some simple observations.
The Colts D ran straight vanilla cover 2 or man 2 deep all night. They rushed 4 and let the chips fall where they may. Pretty standard for the Colts D in preseason. Remember if I know that the Skins do too. They actually have to decide which QB to use, so probably actually tried to game-plan a bit.
Hughes simply gets swallowed by any OT he’s against. I think he’s actually better suited as a 3/4 rush LB than a guy with his hand on the ground. Chick has better tech, but not as good of physical skills.
The left side of the OL is set. Castanso, Reitz, and Saturday will figure it out. The right side just doesn’t work with Diem at OT. Maybe if they move him to guard.
I’d like to see what Orlovsky could do with the #1’s in a game. Perhaps we’ll get to see that next week.
anyway… my2c
Yeah, I'm Shure.
I thought Diem was supposed to play guard
I don’t know what happened. Buuuuuut…
tv announcer (fisher?) said they didn't want to throw him in there yet, not enough practice there

Hughes
Hughes has so many problems it’s tough to even begin.
But first, I would just ask him to tuck in his jersey and at least give the coaches and fans the appearance that you actually care. That would be a start.

Painter may suck
But you have to keep in mind this game, he was without gonzalez, wayne, and collie. I didnt watch the game, just saw the stat line and read about it a little afterwards and Painter went 5-10 with 40 ye\ards i think. And his team had ONE rushing yard while he was on the field. ONE. Cant throw well if the other team doesnt need to defend the run.
Now im not a Painter defender, or a Painter hater, i just figured i’d point those things out. Continue to bash him for all i care, but as i see it, maybe Painter is extremely smart at reading defenses(until he’’s actually on the field and gets all jittery), and Peyton likes his input on the sidelines, and thats why they keep him. If thats the case, im ok with that.
Painter and rushing yards
Whether it was Painters fault or not, they didn’t even attempt to get a rushing game going in the 1st half. Orlovsky did a much better job of keeping a balanced attack and gave the coaches some film to evaluate the line and RBs. Painter was too busy throwing behind his receivers on every play. Painter just offers no confidence which has to be depressing for the rest of the offensive players.

The defense was embarrassing and i would like to think they arent tryin because if that 1st unit was actually trying then Manning, Collie, Wayne, and Gonzo….(pretty much are passing offense) will have to play just to try and keep up with the other team.
I keep tellin myself its preseason but this is making me a little nervous. I hope the COlts come out and shut the media up. Whats it matter all they will talk about is the eagles, pats, packers, cowboys anyway
My 2 cents
First off, I am in no way a student of the game. I did rewind and watch most plays in the first half 2 or 3 times, and to me the Colts problems against the run are 2-fold.
1. When the run is inside, our ends have a tendency to over run the play up-field, basically leaving 2 line men and the linebackers, and potentially some big holes.
2. When the run was around the outside (and Washington did this a lot), the linebackers and safeties (specifically Kavell and Bullitt) had a tendency to lose containment. They would shoot up field trying to stop the play for a loss, allowing the back around the edge and frequently for a big gain.
I was really disappointed in the play of Bullitt today, his angles seemed all off.
I should note
that I wasn’t always paying attention to who did what. So picking on Bullitt and Kavell might be unfair, though I did notice that Washington tended to run away from Angerer.
Run defense
The preseason run defense reminds me of the Jags game at the end of 2006 season. Everyone seemed to be out of place and on every play it seemed that there was at least one player that didn’t do his job which created a big hole and a long gain.
I also have concerns with the attitude of the defense while on the field. I don’t know if this stems from the coaching staff or just the players on the field, but the “bend but don’t break” style of defense that the Colts use is way too passive. Why not use that style in the red zone but be much more aggressive in the middle of the field? They have to get off the field on 3rd down and giving up 15 play drives time after time isn’t cutting it. In fact, it completely goes against logic when you have arguably the greatest QB in history sitting on the bench waiting for you to hopefully force a FG so he can trot out and work more miracles.
I don't always drink beer....but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.
Completely Agree
The times are defense looked best last year was when we had to get aggressive? Remember that great game against the Pats? They were destroying us, then we started playing aggressive D and it completely turned the game around. We still lost, but damn near won.

What???
OK, so the first half was like watching Painter dry, but the second half was like watching the Ray’s Trash contestant run the Colts offense. Orlovsky was awful, and it had NOTHING to do with the talent around him. How many times was there a receiver so wide open that we jumped up in excitement, only to have Orly throw as if blinded by the jumbotron? Too many for a veteran. When we jumped in the car a simple question was posed – based upon this game, who would you start between the two? – crickets. If that is the case then just go with youth and hope he develops. What good does poise (which Orly did project) do for you if you can’t hit the side of a barn half the time.
Also, who put the play selection together for Painter. It was obvious after two possessions that nothing to stretch the field was going to occur and Washington did exactly what they should have and brought in their secondary and abused our receivers inside. Painter was actually had a decent completion rate and was moving the ball until they figured this out. Where the coaches trying to modify the game to his skills or current level of preparedness? Whatever the reason it is a recipe for failure like a prevent defense with too much time on the clock.
I thought your bashing of Painter was just the fear and frustration of knowing Peyton may not be ready, but when you make the outrageous statement " Dan Orlovsky played very well tonight", it dawned on me that there is something else going on. Orly started out well enough, but so did Painter and they both cratered.
Where was Hartline? This is the pre-season so let’s trot these ponies out for show.
"If they want me to be a crazy, emotional, frenzied fan in section 603, then they can't expect me to be reasonable about the business of football"
One throw
Neither QB is comfortable in the pocket, but Orlovsky was 1 throw away from having a strong game. He had a beautiful throw to Taj that should have been a TD but the bobble cost them.
Either way, this team is screwed if Manning goes down so let’s just agree that he is once again our only hope.

why is everyone on Hughes
he actually played good this game
Hughes replays
Watched the replays this morning and have to agree with you. At the game it appeared he was getting swallowed by the line and was only in the area. On replays it looks like he really occupied players and held his own when not actually penerating. Nobody on our line is going to dominate so this is what we need. He was out there for a long time and I think the experience is bringing him along.

Overreaction
Everyone is upset over nothing. The goal was not to win. The team that played today was not the Colts.
On offense, the difference between Hall of Fame QB and Scrub QB alone is the difference between actually scoring points and …. not. Meanwhile, Scrub QB had Taj Smith and Chris Brooks starting, and of the top 5 WR’s on the depth chart, Garcon is the only one who even played a down, and even he didn’t play much. The offensive line still started Pollack and Diem on the right side. Basically the only part of the “1st team offense” that played today that will be starting day 1 was 2 or 3 offensive linemen, 1 WR, 1 TE, and 2 RB (Garcon, Clark, Addai, Brown). Even though players were only in for a few short series. The starting RB’s only took 3 carries.
TL;DR: The offense you saw today is not the real Colts offense by any means, and their production means nothing in terms of the actual season.
As far as defense goes, because of the fail that is the fake Colts offense, they didn’t have much of a chance. The time of possession for the Redskins in the first half was 23 minutes. 23!! That’s over 2/3 of the time. So the defense really did it’s job, giving up only 16 points despite having to be on the field a terribly long time. They would never be in such a position during the regular season, so I don’t see much to complain about here. Also the Redskins of course had starters in longer so it wasn’t long before the 2nd team was facing the first team.
The goal of this game is player evaluation of the young guys. That’s all that maters, so look at that.
Delone Carter averaged 6.2 yds (1,3,10,11) He wasn’t running against the 1st string but wasn’t running with a good OL either. It would be unsurprising to see him take a significant number of carries by mid-season and really produce.
Drake Nevis is awesome. He had tons of pressure and was mostly responsible for the sack Hughes was also in on. He’ll be able to stay very fresh with Moala and Harris also playing UT and Antonio Johnson also is looking great in pass pressuring having a shared sack with Freeney. In general, we’ve NEVER been optimistic about the DT’s, and it’s always been said if they could produce pressure from the inside, than Freeney and Mathis would wreak havoc on the outside without double teams.
Speaking of pass pressure…
John Chick and Jerry Hughes are starting to look more promising, both had a sack (Hughes was technically shared) and pressures. I just knew Chick was going to be good eventually, and Hughes isn’t looking like a first-round pass rusher, but he’s far from worthless either. Both should be more useful filling in for Freeney/Mathis than anyone was last year, and they should be able to keep them fresher, not to mention the Free Agent DE’s might rise up and do well. Speaking of Hughes, looking back on his college career he was a huge project. He’s really really athletic, but he played LDE against inferior RT’s and got most of his production from one move and played better standing up. He didn’t even start playing DE until college so he has 5 years experience at the position and his technique is just not good. He has potential don’t count him as a bust yet, though he will probably never have been the right pick.
Anyway, I also feel Castonzo and Ijalana are progressing well, and at the very least, they should improve the line. Manning doesn’t even hardly need time like Painter and Orlovsky, so I’m confident they’ll do a sufficient job at least. Lefeged and Moten look like quality back-ups as well, so that’s good news.
Also this post is waaaay to long, but I just am frustrated after reading everyone’s whiney comments. And if you really want to win preseason games, go be a Pats fan. Winning worthless games is apparently important to them.

They could put their coaching staff out there and beat the Jags and Bucs,
So stop deluding yourself that they’re having to go all-out to win these games.

They're not treating the preseason like the last three games of 07 and going for perfection.
Brady has only played a half of football so far. Mallett took over this game, rather than the better Hoyer.
And he Pats could put Pepper Johnson out there and he’d be an upgrade over the Jags’ 5th team linebacker.

Thanks for a great post!
"If they want me to be a crazy, emotional, frenzied fan in section 603, then they can't expect me to be reasonable about the business of football"
Too bad about Bethea
cause if they would have tackled the guy earlier he would never have been hurt,, And Colts may have set a pre- season record for the most missed tackles in one game!!!!
KEEP ORLOVSKY
cut the mistake Painter- please, canot stand to see him play anymore
Where were the linebackers?
If you watch the first big run on the second play, look at the linebackers. They were all overpursued completely to the left side. When the back made his cut, no one was there.
Back to the Future
What we are witnessing with Painter and Orlovsky is the way the Colts played without Manning, particularly in "97 when they were winless. Clearly those 2 are not the QBs this team will have at the helm when Peyton retires. But I cringe to think how the colts will look when that time comes. Greenbay will show no mercy next week in the third pre-season game. Just hope Peyton will be ready for the regular season!

Reason to watch
They only reason to watch the colt’s preseason games is for a couple of a surprise young players. Even struggling vets are not a worry because they are not running with their normal group or running their normal plays. What you look for is a couple of young guys that can run these vanilla plays the right way. With that said, I ONLY look for bright spots during the preseason.
Bright Spots:
RB: Carter and Evans both looked great. They took average blocking and created positive plays. They made quick decisive cuts up the field
Nevis: Enough said. The kid treats the other teams backups like backups. That’s all you can ask
Hughes: He got some push. A lot of people beat him up, but I didn’t think he looked bad at all
OL: For the most part, the OL looks much improved from last year. They look improved in run and pass blocking. Very exciting to see what Peyton can do with a bit more time.
NFL Rule: Moving the kickoff up is the best thing to happen to the colts since Defensive holding. Our special team coverage and return teams have sucked so this will help level the field. (unfortunately I don’t think this is good news for Moore who was a bright spot last preseason for his return abilities)
This post is long enough. Go Colts.
Re: kickoff rule
Unfortunately they still have to cover punts which is proving to be difficult.

Compare and Contrast
I accept the reality of colt Mgt not caring about Pre-Season.Score doesn’t matter,I get it.Like any philosophy it is a matter of degree.I see very little young talent on this team.I watch the Pats, since I live in Boston, they are DOMINATING on both sides of the ball.There is talent everywhere on that team.With the Colts I see no running game,no tackling on D.,no tight coverage of opposition recievers,no physicality,no proof that our FRAGILE recieving corps have gotten stronger.I have zero confidence in the future based on what I am seeing up to now.I can hear the refrain from Colt fans’wait until PM comes back,he will change everything’.That is the problem.PM can’t fix all these problems.It is not against the rules for other people to step up and make plays on this team.This does not happen with the PATS

You can evaluate individual play even while you lose by implementing the teams decoy playbook.

Absolutely disgusting
I was there, and it was brutal. I’d like to complain about paying $ to watch that garbage but I want to keep my season tickets and payin for preseason is part of the deal. It sucks but we’ll all deal it. The Colts usually make it up to us in the reg season (not so sure about this year though)
I focused on Castonzo, i thought he held up pretty good. We could have a stud LT, first time in a long time! Our guards are disgustingly awful though. Jake Scott and Ryan Lilfa would look pretty good right now…
