Colts vs Eagles: How a blown call cost the Colts a chance to win At the risk of sounding like the petulant fan who complains about every call Adam Vinatieri Jersey , I want to present an idea to you. The Colts should have survived with a win on Sunday at Lincoln Financial against the Eagles. They led the defending Super Bowl Champs in the fourth quarter until the Eagles’ monster drive that ended with a touchdown and sapped 11:58 off the clock. The thing is, that drive should never have sniffed a score. It should have ended with a turnover on downs at the Indianapolis 42.Let’s set the scene. The Eagles started their drive at their 25 yard line. They were moving the ball effectively, giving the Colts’ defense trouble and penalties on Hairston and Hunt had aided their ease of movement. On 2nd and short, Darius Leonard had flown around the left tackle to drop Carson Wentz for a 9-yard loss, bringing up a 3rd and 12. The Eagles opted for a short pass which was stopped quickly, bringing up a 4th and 5 at the Colts’ 42. Doug Pederson decides to go for it. Why not? They’ve been moving the ball with ease on this drive and the Colts have struggled to do much against their defense. Eberflus draws up a nice play to get pressure on Wentz. Sheard makes the inside move, forcing the giant Lane Johnson to slide inside. However, Sheard is now occupying G Brandon Brooks, and allowing Margus Hunt to stunt to the outside. Sheard’s hand is on the outside of Johnson’s numbers when he attempts to recover to deal with Hunt, and the flag is thrown. The pressure from Hunt makes Wentz get rid of the ball early for an incompletion that would have resulted in a turnover on downs. Now I have no doubt that Jabaal Sheard is a strong guy. However, you will never convince me that he can simultaneously deal with both the guard and center while holding Lane Johnson in place with his left hand. Lebron James and Neymar have both reportedly called Lane Johnson to ask for some acting tips http://www.coltscheapshop.com/cheap-aut … ron-jersey , because this performance was Oscar worthy. Thus far in the season there have been 45 defensive holding penalties called this season and just 5 have come against defensive linemen. I watched each one of them, and of the 5, only 2 were good calls. They came against defensive ends who were called for holding a running back releasing into the flat. The others were sketchy at best. I don’t like this call in any way, but by the letter of the law, I can accept it as very unfortunate and won’t bemoan it any more. Especially considering it isn’t close to the worst call on this drive.On this next play, Margus Hunt looks like a man among boys, destroying his man and penetrating into the backfield before swallowing Smallwood off a screen pass for a loss of 8 yards and setting up 2nd and 18.The Colts do a great job holding the Eagles to a small gain here, given 2nd and long, with Sheard getting pressure in Wentz’s face and forcing a quick pass. Hairston and Leonard close on the ball quickly and don’t allow yards after the catch, which leaves the Eagles facing a 3rd and 9 situation. It is important to note that the Eagles had not converted on any 3rd downs with more than 6 yards to gain.So the Colts have the Eagles in 3rd and long with a lead, which is precisely the strength of this defensive scheme. They do a great job getting pressure. Kemoko Turay looks like he was shot out of a cannon and is in the backfield quickly http://www.coltscheapshop.com/cheap-aut … son-jersey , blowing by LT Jason Peters. On the right side, the Colts bring Clayton Geathers on the blitz and he gets a hand on Wentz but can’t bring him down. If they are just able to hold on, this play is over and the Colts get the ball back and have a chance to milk the clock and leave with a win.Credit to Carson Wentz for getting out of trouble here, because this is an Andrew Luck-type escape and shows one of the things that makes him so effective as a quarterback. He manages to avoid the sack and gets the ball to Nelson Agholor who is streaking toward the right sideline. Agholor turns upfield to try to reach the first down marker and has Malik Hooker coming in hot to make a stop short of the line to gain. He launches himself over Hooker and gets the first down. Except he doesn’t.Upon watching the replay, he clearly steps out of bounds with more than 2 yards to the 1st down marker. What is most egregious is that there is an official standing 10 yards away watching it all. That doesn’t even include the official who is standing in front of the play staring off in space, presumably considering what he is going to have for dinner that night.This is a huge mistake by the officials, but even more so by Frank Reich. Someone on the Colts staff has to see this and challenge on such a critical play. This is the kind of issue that has to be worked out by rookie head coaches. Game management is tough for many who have been doing it a long time, but Reich will have to work on the challenge process and get it figured out.Instead of a 4th and short which forces the Eagles to decide whether they’ll go for it and risk coming away with nothing or kick a long field goal, they get a new set of downs. They had missed a field goal already and the conditions were not necessarily ideal for long kicks so a stop here could absolutely have saved the game.We can’t change what happened and we can’t guarantee that the Eagles still wouldn’t have scored. However, it is clear that a poor call and a missed call played a critical role in putting the Eagles over the top in this game. In a game against one of the best teams in the league, that absolutely matters. There is no margin for error.Maybe you are more well-adjusted than I am. Maybe you recognize that there were several other costly mistakes the Colts made throughout this game that resulted in this ending. You’d be correct. There were plenty of dropped passes and overthrows that could have and should have resulted in points. In reality Cheap Chester Rogers Jersey , this is an encouraging series of plays. It shows constant pressure on Carson Wentz during a critical drive and against a very good offensive line. However, seeing such an obvious missed call change the outcome of a game is stinging. The good news is that if the Colts can do this to the Eagles’ offensive line, they should have a field day against the Texans.Film Room: Quenton Nelson run blocking vs. Seattle Seahawks, Preseason Week 1 While keeping Andrew Luck upright will always be priority one for the offensive line, one of the ways to help keep pressure off of him is to establish a running game. A balanced offense will make it harder for defensive coordinators to dial up pressure and will take advantage of players who are too quick to get upfield and attack the pocket.One of the best ways to establish a running game is to physically dominate in the trenches. Chris Ballard drafted rookie guard Quenton Nelson sixth overall to do just that. Today, we take a look at Nelson’s impact on the running game.While Nelson gives a yard or two on initial contact on this designed play to the right, he stays ahead of the defender down the line of scrimmage and ultimately seals him off from making a play on Marlon Mack. This is what Nelson does best. When he pulls down the line on a run, I have pity on the poor soul who is tasked with holding the edge. He blows up the defender and opens up a nice hole for Mack.This is beautiful. This play is the kind of play that bodes well for the running game in 2018. Speed to the outside is what the Colts should have in spades. Even Robert Turbin looks quick when he has a huge lane to the outside to hit full stride. Every blocker on the left side of the line wins. Nelson and Haeg create a wall and Doyle passes off his defender to Haeg to move to the next level. This is how you draw it up.On third and one, Robert Turbin goes off left guard and allows Nelson to win inside. He ends up getting three or four yards and finds the least resistance behind Nelson. It should be noted that Haeg does a very nice job sealing his man to the outside as well.Here we go again, like the juggernaut, Nelson gets moving on a pull to the outside. Colts running backs are going to absolutely love this all season long. Where Nelson goes http://www.coltscheapshop.com/cheap-aut … try-jersey , a hole opens and Michael is able to pick up a first down.The replay shows a better angle and more of a close-up. If I’m Akeem King, this play gives me nightmares for the next week.In terms of picking our run blocking weaknesses, one thing I noticed is that Nelson’s desire to obliterate a defender can sometimes be detrimental. There is no doubt the Haeg and Nelson absolutely destroy the defensive lineman on this play. However, if Nelson doesn’t get off balance and take the player to the ground he might be able to stay up and get a body on the linebacker at the second level. A two yard run on first down may have gone for four or more yards.Similar to the first play in this story, Nelson get pushed back a yard or two on a run designed to go to his right. Unlike the first play, he doesn’t get a good seal on the defender and allows him to get in on the tackle. This screen pass is a bonus play in the series. While screens are passing plays, they get offensive linemen moving in space to clear the road ahead. Nelson wasn’t able to get a body on anyone here but he shows pretty good speed for a guy his size and if he can get four or five yards out ahead of the running back on a screen regularly, there is reason to believe that he’ll play an important role in breaking a long one at some point this season.AnalysisQuenton Nelson is going to be a dominant force for the Colts running game. He won’t have to worry about the subtlety or nuance required to be a strong pass protector. He will be able to use his size and brute strength to open up lanes and drive defenders out of the hole. On more than one occasion, he and Joe Haeg worked well to create a running lane on the left side. There is reason to believe that will be even better when Anthony Castonzo returns. I would grade his first NFL performance as an A for the running game.
