COLTS PRE GAME

[Chief X_Phackter]

Due to his mobility, Ehlinger represents a greater threat than Matt Ryan would have. Perhaps it will even out because of his lack of experience, but the defense is going to have to be solid against the run as J Taylor appears to be healthy, and Ehlinger is a willing runner. He averaged over 11 rushes per game in college, and has 17 rushes in his limited NFL snaps.

It's a winnable game, but I am expecting the Colts to 'pull out all the stops' to try to get the W.

Agreed; at 3-3-1 in a weak division (with Jax and Hou), they're probably thinking that they can keep up with the Titans (who have not exactly been dominant). Plus, with the QB switch and the Irsay animosity toward DS, they'll probably be a bit more motivated. Going to be a challenge for us as their running game is legit.

You know I'm a big "motivation matters" guy. But I'm not sure to what extent team owners' beef translate to players motivation...

Winnable game? For sure. But let's not forget this team beat the Chiefs and are statistically the 5th passing offense in the league ...

Gonna need some Heinickeee magic!
