After watching all the retro reels of the last few colts games I feel one thing we need to watch is how consistently we persist with the run in the 2nd half .What do you guys think ? will we continue to throw the ball on the colts or establish a consistent running game. ? Last 3 times we played them, we did run the ball well but got away from it in the 2nd half after indy stopped us 2-3 times especially in the game here at foxboro. i remember even some players questioning the play calling then. Even in the AFFCG last yr we didnt run much in the 2nd half. i think if we do maintain a running game if we are able to run the ball it will go a long way to breaking this 3 game losing streak.
Another rushing related stat - on Defense we have allowed 87 yards per game which is very good. But we have also allowed 4.2 yards per carry. So which stat is more accurate/reliable. ? Is it because teams move away from the run on us which has helped the yards per game or ypc avg is higher because a lot teams are running on us on nickel defense. Any ideas ? I think the colts will try and run the ball a lot today so success on early downs is critical.
