We are beginning a new weekly feature here at Stampede Blue Womens Al Woods Jersey , the purpose of which is to take a look at Frank Reich’s best and worst calls from the prior game. which plays I select each week, but we will at least be able to agree that they are impactful plays that mattered in the game.Frank Reich has by and large had this Colts’ team well prepared out of the gate, which is essential because the style of defense they play works at its best with the lead. A hot start for the offense specifically means the ability to play from ahead, which best suits the defensive style.The BestReich certainly got the Colts off to a fast start against this Jaguars team, keeping the defense confused and on their toes and guiding them to a 7 play, 75-yard drive that resulted in a touchdown. The defense forced a punt on the Jaguars’ first possession of the game and the Colts punted it back to them without ever crossing midfield. Donte Moncrief’s 80-yard touchdown brought the Jaguars right back to even as the first quarter was coming to a close.The Colts took over and quickly gouged the defense, looking at you Jalen Ramsey, for a 35-yard strike to T.Y. Hilton who was wide open on the left side. Another long throw to Mo-Alie Cox put the Colts well inside the red zone and a short dump off to Marlon Mack had the Colts looking at 3rd and goal from about the 2 yard line.That’s when Frank Reich pulled his slickest move of the season. He sends the team out in 12 personnel and Marlon Mack is lined up as the lone back. It looks for all the world as though they will just try to punch it in by running right at the Jaguars.Eric Ebron goes in motion just before the snap, and the fake to Mack goes to the right side and right at Calais Campbell, who explodes through the line, wholly biting on the fake. The only guy who seems to have an inkling of where the ball is going is Myles Jack, but by the time he has completely recognized what is happening, Ebron is around the end and breaking for the end zone. Barry Church never has a chance as he tries desperately to stop Ebron from scoring.This play is great for a lot of reasons. Obviously the score is a big one. It went off without a hitch and was completely unexpected. What’s more, there are long term implications for this play. The Colts send players in motion often. Running a play like this causes doubt for defenders. Misdirection and confusion are sometimes all an offense needs to make big plays. When you run a play like this effectively, it gets in the heads of the defensive players. You can bet the Jaguars will remember this play the next time they play the Colts, and that may be what Frank Reich is counting on.The WorstThe Colts didn’t start their first drive of the second half until just over 6 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, after the defense let Jacksonville grind out a long scoring drive. A hold on Braden Smith backed them up to their 15 yard line and a dropped pass by Nyheim Hines left them facing a 2nd and 20. Frank Reich’s play call at that point is the one I’ll label as his worst for the day. It is tough to dial up anything from that position, and it is hardly an egregiously bad call, but it is indicative of the kind of conservative approach that stymied the offense for much of the second half. You might think that this is Luck checking down with no open receivers. However, the screen pass is the call here, and Ryan Kelly is proof of that. He is getting up field in a hurry to put a hit on Telvin Smith and try to break Mack loose. It doesn’t really work, however, because he isn’t able to get there to buy Mack much space. Since they run at the short side of the field, Mack doesn’t have much room to work, and the play gets blown up for a gain of less than 2 when they needed to cut out a significant chunk to avoid 3rd and absurdly long. These screens just have not worked effectively all season long, and this is no exception. The result is a 3rd and 19, and then giving the ball right back to the Jaguars after possessing it just 1 minute and 42 seconds. They wouldn’t get the ball back until :57 left in the 3rd quarter. ConclusionThis was largely a solid game from Frank Reich. The Jaguars’ defense despite looking pretty awful in the first half, is actually very talented. You cannot get too risky with a good defense or they can make you pay, and the hold and dropped pass put Reich in a tough spot on his play call early in the 3rd, but that’s where you have to find more effective and creative ways to get yards. His stubborn attempts to repeatedly make that screen pass work have been frustrating and hopefully he will let that one go as a play the Colts just don’t seem able to run very effectively.What those rough two quarters should not overshadow is that Reich had receivers running wide open down the field against the team that was considered the best passing defense in the league. While we’d like to see a more even performance over a whole game, it is a pretty impressive feat to behold.Colts vs Bengals: Winners and Losers from week one Week one is in the books for the Colts Womens Clayton Geathers Jersey , and it left us with a bittersweet taste. On the one hand, there was a lot to be encouraged about in the Colts’ first performance of the regular season. However, the Colts ultimately lost a game they could have won. Let’s jump in and take a look at the winners and losers from Colts vs Bengals week one.WinnersFrank Reich’s Play CallingPhoto by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesThis game was a breath of fresh air after years or watching offenses run by Rob Chudzinski and Pep Hamilton. Seeing personnel set up to succeed and scheming players into positions to get open was a joy to watch. It was clear that there was a comfort level that was created by the play calling, which allowed the offense to run smoothly. That is a major source of encouragement to me, and will only get better with time, and the return of starting left tackle Anthony Castonzo, and starting running back Marlon Mack. Kenny Moore IIPhoto by Bobby Ellis/Getty ImagesIn just his second year in the league, the undrafted free agent made a big impact for the Colts’ secondary. He had 3 tackles and defended a pass, but most importantly, he managed to pick off Andy Dalton early and give the Colts excellent field position. Sure, the offense squandered it by giving the Bengals the ball back not long after, but Moore can be pleased with his contribution. This roster desperately needs guys who can get takeaways, and any contribution will matter down the stretch. Darius Leonard (and Matthias Farley)If it seemed like Leonard was in on every defensive play to you, you were not crazy. Leonard was all over the field, making plays and notching a combined 9 tackles as well as recovering a fumble caused by Matthias Farley. Turnovers are huge for this young defense, and the Colts got them in this game. They’ll need to be able to do that consistently if they expect to win many games this season. Margus HuntThomas J. Russo-USA TODAY SportsThe Colts’ pass rush as a whole was not great. There wasn’t consistent pressure on Dalton, and they often go so zoned in on backfield penetration that they lost contain and let Joe Mixon gash them for big yards. However, Margus Hunt was able to make some things happen, collecting 2 sacks, 3 tackles for a loss, and 2 QB hits. As a guy who many, myself included, questioned as a fit for this team, Hunt did a lot to state his case for why be belongs. Hopefully his success can continue.Ryan GrantGrant was a nonfactor during the preseason. He seemed to have no chemistry with Luck and just didn’t do anything of note. Not so in yesterday’s contest. Grant was 8 of 9 for 59 yards, consistently getting open on short throws and acting as Andrew Luck’s security blanket. He got good separation and made catches. His game wasn’t spectacular, but the Colts need reliable receivers who can be counted on, and whose name is not T.Y. Hilton. Grant showed that he can be that, and if he can do so going forward, it bodes well for the offense. Nyheim HinesPhoto by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesNyheim Hines did not have a good preseason. Frank Reich did the right thing getting him out from under kick return duties, as they did not suit him well. In his role as a pass catching back and a change of pace player, Hines looked solid. In a game where the running backs didn’t do much http://www.thecoltsfootballauthentic.com/darius-leonard-jersey-authentic , Luck passed 53 times, Hines looked comfortable, and made important plays with regularity. He showed how he might be used and that he has a significant part to play on this team.Honorable Mentions: Jordan Wilkins, Eric Ebron, T.Y. HiltonLosersJack DoylePhoto by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesLook, Jack Doyle is a very good tight end. He isn’t a loser overall. But in this game, he was a loser. When you cough up a fumble on what could be a game-winning drive, and that fumble goes for a nail-in-the-coffin touchdown, you’re the loser. Do I think Jack played well before that point? Absolutely. He was 7 of 10 for 60 yards. He did the kinds of things you expect him to do. But that fumble was a killer. Doyle will get back to being Doyle, but this one hurt.Quincy WilsonI haven’t seen the All-22 yet, so I can’t speak in entirety on how Wilson played. What I can say, is that the only two plays I saw of him were pretty bad. In the first, he was flagged for pass interference on A.J. Green, a 36-yard penalty that brought the Bengals to the Colts’ doorstep. The next was him getting beat in the end zone on a pass to John Ross for a touchdown. He never even attempted to contest the catch. The Colts need Wilson to be better than this. The 2nd round pick from last season was wearing a cast, so perhaps he will play better when he has the use of both hands. Let’s hope.Malik HookerPhoto by Bobby Ellis/Getty ImagesThis was not a great game for Hooker. It may have been better or worse than I think, the All-22 will tell more, but he, along with Geathers, committed the cardinal sin of a safety. They got beat deep by A.J. Green for a score. You cannot get beat deep by the team’s best receiver, and Hooker did. The Colts need him to make an impact to succeed on defense, and while Green is a top-level receiver, they can’t have him getting beat deep and win games. Geathers only gets off the hook being listed here because he was able to force a fumble, but he shares equal blame on this play that led to a momentum shifting score.That Screen PassYou know the one. The one that had you throwing your hands up and trying to spot Chud on the sideline somewhere. Reich dialed it up with :19 left in the first half, and it was read and destroyed by linebacker Nick Vigil for a 5-yard loss. If that didn’t leave a strong enough impression, when they ran that exact same play at 1:09 left in the game, they got the exact same result. Vigil reading it all the way and dropping Hines for another 5-yard loss and taking the Colts out of field goal range. I listed Reich’s play calling as a winner, and it was. However, this play needs to be stricken from the 2-minute offense.
