Phillip B. Wilson, the Colts blogger for the Indianapolis Star, writes this afternoon that after reviewing the game, he’s willing to give Jared Lorenzen the doubt after last night’s 30-16 loss to Washington.
Writes Wilson, “Nobody picked up the blitz when Jared Lorenzen was sacked. No need to comment on Lorenzen’s play. He was out there with a lot of end-of-the-roster reserves, Courtney Roby dropped what should have been a touchdown pass and it looked as if a few plays broke down due to a lack of communication. That often happens when a quarterback and young players are trying to pick up the system. Not trying to make apologizes for the guy, but as Lucky pointed out, he sure didn’t look comfortable.”
And, later, Wilson writes, “Lorenzen gets sacked again because he tries to roll out away from a blitz. He had to know they were coming on third-and-short. And the ball intercepted and taken back for a touchdown was late in arriving, although Jones didn’t get much space from the corner, who seemed to be sitting on the route near the first-down marker.”
