Both Texans RBs have at least had more than 200 carries in a season, Spears has 100 in his 1 year career. Would hardly call a RB coming off of an injury and a RB with 100 career carries a 2 headed monster, though it should scare Titan fans especially with that offensive (causing someone to feel deeply hurt, upset, or angry) line. That being said, if said line can protect Levis, he does have a lot of weapons in the receiving game. Including those 2 RBs, who are really good in the passing game.

You obviously didn’t watch the four games he partially played in. He was single-handedly killing the Texans in Houston when he got that cheap-ass concussion after he crossed the goal-line. That was his third touchdown play and the second quarter has just begun. I think he got hurt like the first play of the second quarter or close to it. Stroud wasn’t doing anything except gawking with his mouth open and thinking “That’s what the Rookie-of-the-Year looks like”. It’s a damn shame Richardson got hurt.

Exactly who is O’Connell competing against to become the “2nd highest performing 2nd year QB”? I’m not ripping him, I’m a huge Purdue fan.

Nathan, you’re football knowledge and command of the English language are both above reproach, “Downs haven’t are much from him Either”. Well said. Downs caught like 68 passes as a rookie from a back-up QB, and was great after the catch. The Colts’ weapons are really rounding into shape with him, AD, Pitt and once we get Jelani back into the fold. I think Pierce goes to the bench and only comes in to give guys breathers, as he was only catching 1-2 passes per game. Granson is just 1 of about 3 or 4 package TE that we run specific plays for, but Jelani should be our starter as long as he’s healthy. Go Horse!

Didn't realize Carolina is trying to go all-in to, they added Bryce some weapons so far Adam Thielen, Diontae Johnson, Xavier Legette(1st rd WR ) & Jonathon Brooks(2nd rd RB). Not bad guys, guess we will see if Bryce is legit with a squad around him like that.

[@nateriley4067]

This has to be the my favorite comment of the day! Where do I begin with this Tomfoolery? With this level of delusion, how do you make it through the day? Are you only allowed to eat with a spork? Carolina, of all teams, going all in? I think I just peed myself. Old-man Thielen- sure he had a great season last year, because they had absolutely no one else to throw to. But he won’t sneak up on anybody this season. If my team were playing the Panthers, I’d double-team Thielen (I can’t believe I just said that out loud), and make someone else beat me. Diontae Johnson- has potential but always underwhelmed in Pittsburgh. They gave him plenty of opportunities, even when he had a decent QB in Roethlisberger. Now he has a 5’9” ladyboy throwing him the ball. I won’t be holding my breath. Xavier Legette- has potential, slow, but wins contested catches. I won’t rip him too bad. Wait and see. Jonathon Brooks; however, has a torn ACL. Last time I checked, that’s not helpful for running backs. I know he won’t be ready for the start of the season, when will he be ready, week #8? Realistically, this season should be about making sure the knee is stable once he gets healthy and getting accustomed to the NFL and then hit next season running hard. I do think he’s a good to great runner once he’s back to 100%. "Guess we’ll see if Bryce is legit” - I’ll save you some time, he’s not. You guys should have drafted Stroud. But don’t worry, you’ll have the #1 overall draft pick again soon. My best friend is a Panthers fan, so I love giving him shit talk. Hope you know I’m just messing around with ya, honestly, I hope you guys turn things around. Tepper isn’t my favorite owner, I think he fires guys too quickly and doesn’t give coaches or GMs a fair shot. He thinks he can just buy a winner but the NFL doesn’t work like that. Best of luck this season!

But I sorta like this offense and should be a top 20 unit maybe even top 12 if levis can be average

[@nateriley4067]

Forgive me, I don’t watch that many Titans games (two a season), but has Burks ever done anything?

[@mrbojangles6156]

lol. I can’t wait to see all the backtracking the media is gonna do this year with the titans.

Where you getting kylen granson for the colts?? Why wouldn't we be putting jelani woods there? He should be back this year

Lovie Smith definitely deserves a superbowl ring if either the Texans or the Bears win a superbowl within the next few years.

[@stephenjablonski3261]

Still not wanting to give the Titans any credit. Had positive comments about the Titans, and he still low balled them. Florio changed the rules. He said rate the supporting cast. But instead of rating the supporting cast, he rated Levis.

The power shift in the nfl is a good thing .

[@nateriley4067]

Damn straight. The fact that the small markets can compete and win against the Cowboys and NY Giants of the NFL world are what makes football great and baseball/ NBA suck. Some MLB teams start the season and know they don’t have a chance because they have 1/10th the payroll as the large-market teams. Free agency and the salary cap ensures that the dominant teams can only afford to stay great for a couple of seasons, before everyone wants to get paid and leave elsewhere.

I also would add the Colts probably have the best coach in the division

[@loganmason0201]

I am a Houston fan and I have to admit that Colts have a really good coaching staff

[@ericparker163]

You can't say probably.....you can say arguably. You could argue over who's better between Steichen and DeMeco and let it get settled on the field. They're both quality coaches who have played key roles in helping get a different team to the Superbowl.

[@nateriley4067]

To be fair, I really like the Texan’s head coach, but I think in today’s NFL you need an offensive head coach to keep up with the rest of the league. Ryans is great though, he really turned the Texans around in one season. And we’ll have to see what Tennessee has in their new head coach, but Callahan has big shoes to fill. For all the Jags fans, Doug Peterson is a guy, that’s really about all I have to say about him. But I must agree, Steichen is the best. We haven’t seen the best out of him yet, as Steichen was limited in his playcalling with only Minshew under center last year. But this year, the gloves come off as The Prototype is UNLEASHED upon the NFL!!! I sincerely think Steichen’s aggressive playcalling won us a couple of games last year and we also went for it on 4th and short most of the time. It’s no wonder the Colts and the Texans are the class of the AFC South as they are led by the division’s two best head coaches.

[@dadgonegamer2654]

The Titans need to get out of the basement of the division before they start demanding respect. Giving a WR2 a massive contract and trading away second round picks for a corner doesn’t make up for the fact that they have just a guy under center and with CJ in the division, it’s gonna take more than the Titans are capable of giving for them to win the division anytime soon.

Theres just no way in hell you can justify arguing the colts cast is better than the titans. Only Taylor. Every other piece is a downgrade.

[@napoleonj1735]

None of these teams have a QB that can elevate the play of the offense. Almost all quarterbacks are dependent on their skill position players. Hurts didn't play like an above average QB until the Eagles got AJ Brown. Buffalo got Diggs because the talent on offense was weak.

[@angleshero2447]

Panthers could trade for Justin Jefferson and Travis Kelce and these guys would still be like “meh I’ll have to see it first “

[@nateriley4067]

That’s because the analysts’ have watched Bryce Young play in the NFL. The way last year went for Bryce and Stroud, Young will go down with JaMarcus Russell as one of the worst picks in NFL history.

I don’t know where you get your information, but Kylen Granson is not TE #1 for the Colts. He’s solid, but I’ll leave it that. I’d expect a bit more research from this channel.

[@kurtmajors1166]

I agree he’s not the best overall TE but he definitely had the best hands of any colts TE last year so I understand why they put him on the list as a weapon.

[@javiercamacho7760]

Oh wait let me tell you there oline got better not only that you can argue that they have a top 5 oline in the league they had the fewest penalties this past season the raiders have arguably the best wide receiver in Davante Adams and best double duo at WR with Jacoby Meyers and TE Brock Bowers and Micheal Mayer and has a good running back nicked named Zeus when started he has over a 100 yards each game AOC has a great cast of people around him

[@markbensley138]

So you say that the line got better in Tennessee so they should be better but for Carolina that didn’t play a factor 😂 then Legette didn’t want to go to Carolina? Nah he was excited about Carolina. You contradicted yourselves within 8 minutes of talking. Johnson was all over the place because the qb and offense was trash and they wanted to run shit through Pickens. Thielen just went for 1,000 yards last year and is a great route runner. Legette has great speed and acceleration mixed with jump ball skills. Brooks was the best RB in the draft and we picked the 2nd best TE in the draft. Also have a coach now who isn’t using an offensive playbook for 1972 so that helps. Keep on hating. I like when we’re underdogs

Also idk what this crazy high ceiling Richardson has that Levis doesn’t. Richardson is an athletic freak but other than that I’ve never understood why some players have low bar ceilings. Will Levis, Bryce Young, or any of these guys could be a future HOFers, there’s literally nothing you can possibly know or concretely say to prove a player has a low ceiling.

Colts supporting cast is FIRE! It don't matter if Richardson or Flacco is the QB. JT returns to top 5 RB, got 3 WRs that are 6'4 with speed, n a decent group of TEs. Texans still in the driver seat, but Indy ain't far behind
