INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Frank Reich made it clear from the - liny195 - 06-01-2020
moment he accepted the Indianapolis Colts coaching job that he wanted to build around a strong ground game.He might finally have the foundation.Since returning from a lingering hamstring injury Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , Marlon Mack has turned heads, piled up numbers and given the Colts’ offense a more balanced look. He helped Indy snap a four-game losing streak Sunday and if he keeps it up, Mack could help the Colts win more games this season.“He’s explosive. He turns a 5-yard run into a 15 or 20-yard run,” Reich said after Sunday’s 37-5 rout of Buffalo. “(He’s) an excellent inside and outside runner, so (we are) really glad to have him back in the mix.”The Colts (2-5) envisioned Mack fitting perfectly into this role.They drafted him in the fourth round in 2017, believing South Florida’s career rushing leader would eventually start after spending one season as the understudy to Frank Gore, the NFL’s No. 4 career rusher.At training camp this summer, team owner Jim Irsay projected Mack could run for 1,500 yards this season — a feat only one NFL player achieved over the past three seasons and an astoundingly high number in the era of rotating running backs.But Mack showed everyone what he could do the past two weeks.After missing four of Indy’s first five games, he returned against the New York Jets and ran 12 times for 89 yards just 2 short of his career high. On Sunday against the Bills defense, ranked No. 3 overall at the time, he had 19 carries for 126 yards and one touchdown while catching two passes for 33 yards and another score.Suddenly, he and the Colts looked as if they could start alleviating the heavy early season workload on Andrew Luck’s repaired right shoulder.“The middle three guys were definitely moving some people and when that happens, you get gaps in there and Marlon was setting up guys pretty well,” longtime left tackle Anthony Castonzo said Tuesday. “The good thing is it wasn’t perfect so we can still get better.”Mack is still getting on the same page with a relatively young offensive line.Center Ryan Kelly was Indy’s first-round pick in 2016 and has returned to his rookie form after missing most of last season because of injuries. The Colts (2-5) have seen left guard Quenton Nelson, the No. 6 overall pick https://www.coltsfanshop.com/Le_Raven-Clark-Jersey , settle into his new gig and believe he can emerge as a perennial Pro Bowler if he stays healthy.Braden Smith, a second-round pick this spring, took advantage of injuries to crack the starting lineup sooner than anticipated and appears to have found a home at right tackle. Castonzo, a first-round pick in 2011, just turned 30 in August and 26-year-old Mark Glowinski has filled in admirably at right guard since Matt Slauson went down with a season-ending back injury in Week 5.The result: Luck has only been sacked once in his past 125 attempts and the offensive line is increasingly creating creases Mack can burst through.“Marlon, he is patient and he’s able to predict where guys end up based on the structure of the defense,” offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni said. “Marlon just has a unique vision quality and he can really hit it when it’s time to hit it. It’s like he’s patient setting up the block, but he has that acceleration to hit the hole before they can get off on him.”Right now, it looks as if it’s a perfect combination.Mack already has flirted with back-to-back 100-yard games, something the Colts haven’t achieved since October and November 2007 when Joseph Addai went for 100 and 112 yards against Carolina and New England.This week, against the Raiders’ No. 27-ranked run defense, Mack hopes to add his name to the list.“It’s just something to build upon. The offensive line and us coming together and working hard,” Mack said after Sunday’s game. “It (a 100-yard game) is a great thing as a running back that you want to have for your career.” WESTIELD, Ind. (AP) — Jacoby Brissett enjoys playing the role of entertainer at training camp.The Indianapolis Colts quarterback routinely celebrates big plays, moves and grooves to the songs blasting through loudspeakers and even periodically tosses in a barrel roll after diving to the ground to simulate a block against the air. It’s who he is.But when it’s time to work, Brissett is all business.“I’ve seen it in OTAs T.Y. Hilton Jersey ,” All-Pro linebacker Darius Leonard said Wednesday. “Usually if a vet messes up anybody would just walk by, but Jacoby won’t let a mistake walk by. So you see a leader on the field and off the field, the way he carries himself, you just see he’s a great guy on the field and off the field.”The Colts need Brissett to play the tough-guy role right now as Andrew Luck continues to sit out with a strained left calf.Coach Frank Reich announced Tuesday the injury Luck suffered in the spring would keep his starting quarterback out of action until at least Saturday. Reich also has ruled out Luck for next Thursday’s preseason opener at Buffalo and indicated that in a best-case scenario Luck would see only a little playing time anyway in the next two preseason games.So Brissett probably will take the bulk of the snaps in August, and the timing couldn’t be better.The exuberant 26-year-old enters the final year of his contract having spent more time than Luck with the starting offense.For the first time in three years, he is not scrambling to learn a new offense. He has developed timing with new receivers Devin Funchess, a free agent signee, and third-round draft pick Parris Campbell. And he has found a personality fit with playful teammates like Funchess and Pro Bowl tight end Eric Ebron.All of that has made a difference.“He’s done a great job of diving into the playbook,” offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni said. “Year 2 of the system, everybody has a firmer grasp of it and nothing’s new to anybody and you can really see that in Jacoby with the way the plays come out of his mouth, the way that his eyes read the play and the speed that he gets the ball out with.”Most NFL fans haven’t seen much of Brissett since Luck missed the entire 2017 season while recovering from shoulder surgery.Brissett came to Indy that season in a cutdown weekend trade from New England. Less than two weeks later, Brissett, barely knowing the offense, was forced into relief duty in the Colts’ season opener. He wound up starting the final 15 games, throwing for 3,098 yards Darius Leonard Color Rush Jersey , 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions despite enduring a league-high 52 sacks.When Luck returned last season, Brissett went back to the supporting cast. He threw only four passes in four games including the desperation heave from near midfield in the waning seconds of a Week 3 loss at Philadelphia. And with Brissett out of the spotlight, his value around the league took a hit.Now, with Luck out again, Brissett has another opportunity to showcase his talent on the NFL stage.Brissett prefers to look at the big picture.“You’ve got to make strides, obviously, second year in the system and that’s what I hope to do throughout this system,” he said. “You’ll never see the finished product right now. Everybody understands that.”And after Brissett spent much of last season posing with the defense after turnovers, those in the Colts’ locker room have no doubts Brissett can get the job done with or without Luck.“I think any time a guy gets a lot of reps, that’s huge for us as a team,” Sirianni said. “Obviously yeah, we want Andrew out there. But when a guy is getting significant reps, getting the timing down with the receivers, the snap count, the cadence and the calls down with the center and the offensive line — I mean that’s invaluable. What I think he has really done is gain the trust of everybody in the offensive huddle.”
