The Film Don't Lie: Colts

INDIANAPOLIS -- A weekly look at what the Indianapolis Colts must fix:

It’s the battle of winless teams when the Colts (0-2) travel to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars (0-2) on Sunday. The Jaguars have to feel good about the opportunity for big plays against the Colts.

The Colts gave up 231 yards after the catch to the Eagles, which is the most they’ve given up in a game in the nine seasons that ESPN has kept video-tracking data, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Eagles running back Darren Sproles had catch-and-run plays of 57 and 51 yards. His 51-yard gain set the Eagles up to tie the score at 27-27 in the fourth quarter.

Poor tackling continues to be an issue for the Colts. Part of the problem could be that coach Chuck Pagano doesn’t allow tackling in practice or in training camp because he wants to help prevent his players from getting injured. Health is obviously a priority, but the downside to that is that the Colts are having a difficult time tackling.
