A reality check for Coach

There aren’t going to be many times when we have to question head coach Frank Coach but after these last couple of weeks, now is a good time to do so. Besides the fact, the Colts are losers of two consecutive games and have lost the lead in their division, they haven’t played anywhere close to the team that was determined to prove “critics” wrong after Andrew Luck’s retirement.

Coach Reich, even with his tremendous strengths as a play-caller and motivator, hasn’t done the best job in either area. Even though we know of the injuries that have negatively impacted this offense, Reich and his staff aren’t creating new plans that’ll highlight the strengths of who’s actually out there (Noticed the lack of runs called/who is being targeted in the passing game).

And when speaking of motivation, it actually ties into accountability. Can a head coach successfully motivate his team if the latter isn’t being shown on a regular basis (I’m staring directly at Adam Vinatieri and Eric Ebron)? Yes, the Colts sent a “message” with the waiving of wide receiver Deon Cain on Saturday along with benching Quincy Wilson because of his poor practices, but more has to be done these days.
