the New England Patriots. Much has been made about the rival

At 1-3 Youth Darius Leonard Jersey , the Indianapolis Colts are heading into Foxborough to face their long-standing rivals, whether one actually exists. For some, the only way a rivalry exists is if recent games have been competitive or if two teams go back and forth. While this one way to view things, I think ignores reality.In reality, the New England Patriots have ended the Colts preseason hopes 4 times. Twice during the Peyton Manning era and twice during Andrew Luck’s career. The early contests included a league wide review and emphasis placed on pass interference and illegal contact penalties after the Patriots secondary mugged Colts receivers on their way to victory in 2003. In the 2004 playoffs, Peyton Manning threw 4 interceptions and still had a chance to win the game late but couldn’t get the job done. In 2013, the Andrew Luck-led Colts played the Patriots tight in Foxborough for three quarters until the wheels fell off. A 21 point fourth quarter was a statement win for the Patriots and Luck struggled with four interceptions. The next year, the Patriots soundly defeated the Colts in the AFC Championship on a wet and rainy evening that spawned the Defategate controversy, brought the team under investigation, and resulted in Tom Brady’s suspension.In 2006, the Colts put together the biggest comeback win in AFC Championship history for the right to play the Chicago Bears, ending in the team’s first Super Bowl championship in Indianapolis. In fact, there was a period from 2005 until a regular season game in 2010 that the Patriots did not have a win against the Colts. During that stretch there was the “4th and 2” regular season game in Indianapolis that left a bad taste in the mouth of Patriots fans and left coach Bill Belichick looking human.Just this off-season Colts General Manager Chris Ballard offered the head coaching job to Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who accepted. After reaching the agreement and announcing the move, McDaniels backed out and stayed in New England. He abandoned his own hand-selected coaches and once again drew the ire of Colts fans around the world.I would most certainly call the relationship between the Colts and Patriots a rivalry. In fact, I would go so far as to call it a bitter rivalry. No matter how competitive the recent games have been and no matter how long the winning streak is, there is no other game in the entire season that means more to Colts fans, other than the Super Bowl, than beating the Patriots. Similarly, Patriots fans have numerous reasons to dislike the Colts fan base and they look forward to these games and hope to crush their opponent.What will it take for the Colts to come out on top today?Big Games from Small NamesThe Indianapolis Colts are heading into this contest with a ton of injuries. Can Zach Pascal continue to step up with T.Y. Hilton out of the game? Will Ryan Grant and Chester Rogers fill the production void that is left in Hilton’s absence? Will rookie Braden Smith have a positive impact on the offensive line with an injury to Joe Haeg landing him on injured reserve and a horrible death holding Denzelle Good out of the contest? Andrew Luck is going to have to take control of the offense and put the team on his back to get the ball moving and score enough points to keep up with the Patriots. Pressure BradyThe New England Patriots have had a long history of doing enough to keep pressure out of Tom Brady’s face. This has played an important role in his success. When he does have pressure baring down on him and is forced to move out of the pocket, he becomes more pedestrian. He certainly won’t be running away from anyone.Facing the least mobile quarterback the team has faced all season, the speed on defense has to pay off in a big way. Big hits and continual pressure could force Brady into some costly mistakes that turn the outcome of the game.No TurnoversThe Colts cannot afford to give Tom Brady and the Patriots extra opportunities. This means that Luck must continue to be very efficient and extend his streak of passing attempts without an interception. This means that goal line fumbles and strip sacks are not an option. If the Colts can win the turnover battle and not give the Patriots offense extra chances, they could pull out an important road win.Limit Rob GronkowskiThere is no offensive weapon for New England that is consistently more dangerous than Rob Gronkowski. One of the major points of emphasis and reasons the Colts went to a defense that includes more speed and athleticism is the ability to do a better job of defending the middle of the field in the passing game. On Sunday, Deshaun Watson had a field day picking apart the heart of the defense. Tonight http://www.authenticsindianapoliscolts.com/cheap-margus-hunt-jersey , Brady can’t be able to do the same by picking Gronkowski in favorable coverage over and over gain.Offensive BalanceThis has been a struggle for much of the season. There has been too much reliance on Andrew Luck’s arm and it has been too easy for defenses to pin their ears back to come after the quarterback. It could be ever more difficult tonight with key injuries on the offensive line but finding a way to get the committee of Turbin, Wilkins, and Hines going enough on the ground to keep Belichick and his defense honest will be important.

Would Marlon Mack become a more well-rounded runner and hold down the starting role while Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines add polar opposite skillsets to complement him? That seemed to be about the sum of Colts fans more often than not as the season inched closer. Now, we’re here in Week 3 and Mack will have only played in one of three games when it’s all said and done. It’s just Wilkins, Hines and Christine Michael with Mack’s Week 4 availability still uncertain.Robert Turbin will presumably return after Week 4 to give the backfield a boost, but are we talking about him taking over starter reps when he does? It is possible, the coaching staff was giving him first-team snaps through training camp and the preseason at times, so, that’s not off the table. But, if Turbin does return to primarily a third-down back, the Colts will need to make a decision on who is getting those ‘starter reps’ whenever Mack is back in the lineup. Mack and Wilkins couldn’t be more different runners. Wilkins’ game is synonymous with unwavering patience and very good vision, just without the top-end speed to run away from the faster defenders. Mack has that fifth gear, he’s elusive in one-on-one situations in space, but fails in a couple of the more pertinent aspects of the position.And yes, everyone knows this is a platoon approach in the backfield, but Wilkins needs to hang on to these starter reps after Mack returns and beyond. There’s a few cuts that I felt summed up this argument for what I’m attempting to get across to you. A couple clips that show that Mack is still very much a work in progress, and that Wilkins appears to be a much better fit for what the Colts offense hopes to accomplish this season.Let’s take a look.Mack taking the long way homeOn Mack’s first clip we see Quenton Nelson pulling to the right side of the line, which the Colts do a great deal. The Colts overload the right side of the line with Ryan Hewitt Matthias Farley Jersey , Jack Doyle and Zach Pascal. With Doyle, Joe Haeg and Matt Slauson all blocking down, Hewitt’s job is kick the defensive end (94) out. This opens up the hole for Nelson to put a hat on the linebacker. This should leave Mack for an easy path to the second level of the defense for a solid run with the opportunity to shake a safety and break a big play. Instead, we see Mack impatiently going from zero to 100 with his feet, and even faster with his eyes.When Mack doesn’t see the hole right away, he tries to go against the grain of the defensive line, ultimately making their job significantly easier. Had he stayed the course, and given Nelson that extra half-second to complete the block, Mack would have at least had a chance to find some positive yardage. Remember, it’s not about hitting a 30-yard run every attempt. And if that’s what Mack is trying to accomplish when he goes off script like this, all he’s actually doing is creating bad habits and ruining his viability on a roster looking for constant improvement.Wilkins takes what’s given to himMaybe you’re saying that I’m making a mountain out of a mole hill on one Marlon Mack run. I think we both know it isn’t just one run, but here’s a perfect example of two different backs, with the same blocking up front and two completely different outcomes all on the back of patience and discipline.Wilkins simply follows where he knows his blocking is going to be, and knows it’s a big no-no to cutback against the offensive line’s push. Wilkins’ rep is instantly more successful as he follows Nelson through the hole and makes his cut upfield once the lane opens up.Instead of being dropped for no gain, or at best a yard, Wilkins nets more than 10 yards and does it with ease. He gets up to speed quickly, protects the ball and doesn’t take a square hit through the hole. Simple, patient, disciplined running. This is, however, what we see almost exclusively from Wilkins. Consistency is not a part of Mack’s game to this point in his career.Mack tries to push the pile... from 8 yards outThis might be the most disappointing run I’ve ever seen from Mack. Don’t get me wrong, not every run from Mack is as bad as these two examples, nor am I trying to push you to believe that. However, there are way too many of these and there’s no explanation for them.If you can tell me what Mack is thinking in this clip above http://www.authenticsindianapoliscolts.com/cheap-clayton-geathers-jersey , then please enlighten us all. Mack has the designed hole to his right open up almost immediately — again with Nelson pulling — and the blocking ahead to get the ball inside the 5-yard line at worst. I mean, he could have even cut back to his left this time and had a solid chance of breaking into the end zone. This time the alternative, for Mack, is to run straight up the back of Slauson and into the scrum in the trenches. Why? Does he not know the playbook? Is he so impatient that he thinks powering through five bodies — around 300 pounds apiece — is the best way into the end zone.. from 8 yards out? This has to be discouraging for an offensive line that, to this point, has been doing a solid job in the run game.Commitment to the playHere you’re going to see a very similar play as the first two in this article. The obvious differences are that Luck is in the shotgun, the play is called to the weakside and there’s no pulling guard. Nelson still destroys a linebacker, though, so that’s fun.Nevertheless, from Wilkins we still see much of the same approach, thus producing a similar result ever time he steps on the field. Wilkins actually accomplishes a couple things on this run aside from picking up about 5 yards. Again, he understands that the linebacker will need dealt with, so he’ll need to create a slight pause in his approach to the line. He decides on a quick jab step, which nearly makes him too slow to the hole. This move still proves effective due to Wilkins’ ability to explode through the hole when it presents itself, and to not take a direct hit when getting to the second level of the defense. Also, he freezes the strong-side cornerback who’s coming up to offer run support.More than anything we simply see that with a little bit of patience, and the necessary discipline to follow the blocking scheme, the Colts run game has some actual potential. When Turbin comes back, there’ll be two backs who have that approach and Mack better need to get on board or he’ll get left behind when he returns to action.This week, this specific declaration is somewhat moot. However, another week of smart running from Wilkins will make the coaching staff’s understanding that this conversation needs to be had, and is more of a necessity than previously expected.
