The Colts have stumbled over the last two weeks

[liny195]

Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , squeaking out a win against the Dolphins and coming out totally flat on offense against the Jaguars. Where a few weeks ago this was a team that was firing on all cylinders, the offense has been struggling to find its way. On the defensive side of the ball, the Colts had a nice effort and hopefully found some things to build on as they will head to Houston this week to play their most important game of the season against the Texans. Let’s take a look at the snap counts from this week and see if there is anything to be learned from them.Offense#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercentNotesChester Rogers got just 1 snap on offense. His play certainly hasn’t warranted more, but it is interesting to see Zach Pascal get 42 snaps and Rogers getting just 1. Given his less than stellar work as a return man, it seems as though Rogers is unlikely to be a part of this team in the future.Nyheim Hines led all the way for the running backs in snaps with 46. Marlon Mack had just 28. Hines has pretty commonly gotten more snaps than the other backs because of his abilities on passing downs. However, he outstripped Mack and Wilkins by too much here. This was a game where the Colts needed to run the ball more, and simply gave up on it too quickly.Eric Ebron played in 76% of the snaps T.Y. Hilton Jersey , which continues to be about double his normal since the loss of Jack Doyle. It is becoming more obvious as Ebron plays more that his strengths lay in being used as a red zone weapon and a supplement to the rest of the offense, not as the primary tight end. The Colts had Erik Swoopeand Ryan Hewitt in on just 17 total snaps combined. The loss of Jack Doyle clearly changed how they use their personnel, moving them away from relying on as many instances of 2 and 3 tight end sets.Defense#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercentNotesYet again this week we saw Kemoko Turay’s role reduced to just 15 snaps. Tyquan Lewis getting healthy has really put a major dent in his role on the defense.Al Woods’ low level of snaps makes it very likely that we should expect to see Ballard investing a draft pick in an interior defensive lineman. He is older anyway, but his role has continued to be scaled back in favor of younger and faster guys. Nate Hairston has been relegated to only special teams. What a surprise after last season when he played so well. Matthew Adams had one of his best games, and was involved on defense a good bit more than his normal. It was certainly nice to see the rookie making an impact, despite a terrible penalty called on him.Malik Hooker was in on every single defensive snap, yet he was blanked on the stat sheet. While we know he is playing hurt and likely isn’t back to his former self after his ACL/MCL tear Darius Leonard Color Rush Jersey , this isn’t great. Scheme certainly plays a role, as this one isn’t really playing to his strengths. It is also not totally surprising given how the Jaguars threw the ball so short. Still, it is surprising that a player could be in on every snap and not have any statistical impact.Special Teams#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent#PlayerPositionOffensive SnapsPercentDefensive SnapsPercentSpecial Teams SnapsPercent Eagles coach Doug Pederson is gambling on golf again, but this time it appears to only be for charity donations.According to Robby General of the , Pederson made a friendly wager with his former offensive coordinator and current Colts coach Frank Reich during this weekend’s American Century Celebrity Golf Championship.If Reich wins on the course, Pederson will donate to Ascent 121, an Indiana-based group that helps for teen survivors of sex trafficking. If the Eagles coach wins https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Denzelle-Good-Jersey , his former assistant will donate to the Eagles Autism Challenge.Such golf bets are nothing new to Pederson, who also hustled a donation out of Saints coach Sean Payton at the tournament last year.Pederson also won the right for his team to wear the Eagles’ green home jerseys in New Orleans, as a result of a separate bet with Payton during a golf outing at the owners meetings.For the record, Pederson and Reich are even 100-1 odds to win at the tournament.
