Swag Kelly Is Officially Our Backup QB - Colts Vs Dolphins Pregame Blog
HEY HOOSIERS, IT'S GAMEDAY! The Boys In Blue host the Miami Dolphins in what may be the greatest quarterback matchup of the year. Brian Hoyer vs Ryan FitzMagic, 2 quarterbacks that have each played for 8 different teams. But guess what? None of that matters because Chad Swag Kelly has a great shot at being QB1 at some point today!
Colts fans know our players are damn near made of glass. Idk how this curse started, but nobody can stay healthy! Brisket is recovering from an MCL sprain last week, T.Y. is still hurt with a calf injury, Parris Campbell can't stay healthy, and Pierre Desir is inactive. This sucks because him and Kenny Moore are great together. Rock Ya-Sin will be playing today but has been in penalty trouble the last 2 games. We are playing a very poor team, but we are missing 4 key players once again.
Keys to the game
-Give The Dolphins O-Line Hell
This should be a field day for our defensive line (and Darius Leonard). The Dolphins have J'Marcus Webb and Evan Boehm (former Colts and both good dudes) starting at tackle and center. If there was a day for Justin Houston to have reenact his homecoming game against the Chiefs, today is the day. Here's a fun fact that I did not know about J-Webb until now:
-Run The Damn Ball
I'm very confident in Hoyer. Besides his Pick 6 last week, he played great. But let Mack and the O-line have a day! The Dolphins run defense is ranked 29th in da league. Frank Reich knows how to utilize Nyheim Hines like Darren Sproles and could have a field day as well.
-WIN
There's your Chris Collinsworth key to the game. If the Colts want to win, they gotta score more. But more importantly, we are one game behind the Texans in the AFC South and need the momentum back.
Prediction:
I like the Boys In Blue, but it won't be easy. The Dolphins are coming off their first win against the Jets, and we are coming off a heartbreaking loss against the Steelers. It's probably going to be another close game with a game winning field goal from Vinny. I'm going Colts 25- Dolphins 23. As always, Go Horse.
