Texans in a very difficult position. A Colts give them a two game cushion over Houston and would put the Texans in an 0-4 hole to start the year. A loss by one or both of the Titans and Jaguars could see Indianapolis move up in the rankings as well. With the New England Patriots on the road Thursday night http://www.coltsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-quenton-nelson-jersey , this is one Frank Reich really needs to win. Here are some of the keys to an important home win.Pester Deshaun WatsonOver the last couple of weeks, the Colts have started to get something going with their pass rush. Kemoko Turay showed signs of production, Margus Hunt continues to dominate, and Darius Leonard’s speed has shown in a big way. Perhaps the best pass rusher of the bunch, Jabaal Sheard, has also be dialing up the pressure and could easily be tied for the team lead in sacks right now if not for penalties.If Andrew Luck has earned a reputations for holding onto the ball too longer in his young career, Deshaun Watson certainly belongs right there with him. They both have a fearless attitude in the pocket and try to extend plays. Sometimes this trait leads to heroics, other times, especially against fast penetrating defenses, it can lead to sacks, turnovers, and negative plays.If the Colts can get into Watson’s head and stay there, it’s unlikely that the Texans backfield will be able to carry Houston to a win.Red Zone EfficiencyThe Indianapolis Colts offense has come into the 2018 season looking sluggish. There are plenty of causes for this, including Andrew Luck being rusty and needing some time to get himself completely back into game shape, and injuries all of the offense. However, Frank Reich and Nick Sirianni must find a way to improve the red zone issues. If the Colts can’t punch the ball into the end zone when they get into the red zone, there will be unnecessarily large weight placed on the Colts defense to continue carrying the team.Andrew Luck’s Decision-Making and AccuracyThere are plenty of questions about Andrew Luck’s arm strength to this point in the season, and we’ve monitored and reported on this questions — including full film breakdowns every week to see how Luck is progressing. Assuming that his throwing shoulder is still healthy and not experiencing a set back, Indianapolis needs him to cut down on the mental mistakes and easy misses.Colts fans are used to seeing Andrew Luck use deep ball accuracy to pick apart opponents and create big plays. To this point, a drop by T.Y. Hilton, pass interference calls, and some throws that have been off-target have limited some of the home run plays. Frank Reich’s play-calling style and quick hitting offense certainly play a role in this change as well but the offense will have to start hitting on deep strikes to really open things up.Offensive BalanceThe Colts are a fumble Darius Leonard Jersey , a few penalties, and a couple of broken red zone plays away from being in a much better position this year. One thing appears to be a key to the offense have more success and keeping Indianapolis in games is offensive balance. When the Colts go away from the ground game, even against top rushing defenses, sledding gets really difficult. It’s possible that Frank Reich and the coaching staff need to stick with Jordan Wilkins a bit more and allow him to get the most out of each carry as he has certainly been the back with the most consistent success in his limited opportunities.Slow Down the Texans Pass RushSomehow, the Texans defense line that includes players like J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney should be one of the more manageable units the young team has faced this season. These players are still premier weapons and highly effective at creating disruption and getting to the quarterback. With Joe Haeg recently placed on injured reserve and Anthony Castonzo set to miss another game, Denzelle Good and Le’Raven Clark will have to continue playing up and doing their best to keep Andrew Luck clean.If Luck has time in the pocket and can get the ground game and quick passing game going, T.Y. Hilton should have a nice day. If Luck is on his back, that isn’t possible.Game Time1 PM ET on Sunday, September 30, 2018LocationLucas Oil Stadium - Indianapolis, INTV ChannelCBS– Spero Dedes (play-by-play), Adam Archuleta (color commentator)RadioWFNI (107.5FM/1070 The Fan) and WLHK (Country 97.1 Hank FM)Referee AssignmentCarl Cheffers“Enemy” BlogBattle Red BlogTwitterFollow @StampedeBlue for the complete Colts coverage.FacebookLike Stampede Blue on Facebook!PodcastApple Podcasts | Stitcher | Art 19 | SB Colts Cast YT ChannelDouble Down: Two big things to watch on offense for the Colts vs Ravens The Indianapolis Colts showed a lot of positive things against the Seattle Seahawks, but now it’s time for round two of the preseason and the unit needs to take that next step forward.Here’s what Colt fans need to be observing when they take the field against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. Eight or more yardsAndrew Luck has mastered Frank Reich’s offense when it comes to short and immediate throws. That’s an important aspect for the offense, because Luck has had a tendency to hold on to the ball and force the issue at times. While it’s nice to see Luck get rid of the ball instead of taking hits, we need to see Luck and the receivers make plays down the field — instead of just checking it down or throwing a five-yard out route. The biggest thing was just seeing Luck able to throw a football in a live setting once again. “I had fun. I really, really enjoyed my time. I think the team had fun,” Luck said after the first preseason game against the Seahawks. “We’re not blowing it out of proportion. We understand that it was a preseason game. It was a chance to get better, and I think we improved.“Personally, I could’ve been a little crisper on some stuff with some footwork and throws, but that’ll come. That’s part of the work,” Luck added. Luck is still working on getting comfortable in the pocket with opposing defenses rushing after him on each drop back. When Luck starts to feel more comfortable, and get back into more playing shape Authentic Braden Smith Jersey , Reich will unleash the beast down the sideline we are used to seeing. But with comfortability still a work in progress, Luck is still developing a rapport with receivers not named T.Y. Hilton or Jack Doyle, it is important this continues to happen, especially with Eric Ebron, Ryan Grant and Chester Rogers — who seem to be the next viable options with the ACL injury to Deon Cain. Coin flip, or flips, for Right TackleThe protection of Andrew Luck was the No. 1 goal in the offseason for Chris Ballard, drafting Quenton Nelson and Braden Smith, while signing Austin Howard and Matt Slauson. The left tackle, left and right guard, and center position is set in stone with Nelson, Slauson, Anthony Castonzo, and Ryan Kelly. That means one spot is still up in the air. The Colts opened with Joe Haeg at left tackle and J’Marcus Webb at right tackle against Seahawks, but Haeg struggled mightily and gave up a sack. That prompted Reich to move Webb to the left side while experimenting with Howard and Smith throughout camp. There’s no clear leader as of yet, and hopefully that will change against the Ravens. Reich likes the experience on Howard’s end, and Smith brings a lot of raw potential to the table. Monday’s game is a chance for one of those tackles to take a step forward, because protecting Luck is the ultimate goal. “We really like what Austin brings to the table but we’ve said right from the very start it’s open competition,” Reich said. “The best guy will start. So, we have been rotating those guys through there. And each guy has had a lot of good moments. We feel good about the depth we have right there. we’re just waiting to see who’s going to emerge.”At this point in the preseason, it seems anyone could start at right tackle.
