The head coach is also being held to a softer standard as evidenced by him still having his job today.
#Colts HC Shane Steichen, asked if Daniel Jones is held to a softer standard:
“It goes back to the preparation and the command he has of the offense. …”
“You want to have accountability, but like I said, I feel in this situation that he gives us the best chance to win.”
So what stat would he like to use in his defense...?
#Colts HC Shane Steichen, asked about Daniel Jones bad stats in several key areas:
“There are a lot of stats out there, but I think, like I said, he’s proven that he can (play well). So, that’s where the confidence comes from and we need to get him back playing at that level.”
His game plan today was to run the football. He’s an absolute loser coach in every sense.
Snake oil salesman.
Shane Steichen on a quarterback change (courtesy of @WISHNews8):
"No, I have not thought about a quarterback change."
Why?
"Because I have a ton of faith in Daniel..."
They’ll never admit it, but they screwed up when they fired Ryan Grigson, who never had a losing season, always had the team in the hunt, and was only given one head coach. Ballard was allowed to go through several. They anointed Ballard the “greatest GM hire of the 21st century,” but they failed to realize that acquiring talent means nothing without accountability or a culture focused on winning. Instead, they focused on media access, being popular, and being politically correct. Ten years with zero to hang their hat on. Not even a single division title. Here's a prediction: they’ll now ask for a new stadium or threaten to leave.
This dude is an absolute clown. Lacks any accountability whatsoever. Just throwing 💩 against the wall to see what sticks.
Couldn’t change a light bulb without blowing the fuse box.
"We got to give them something to cheer about. I don't blame them for booing."
#Colts head coach Shane Steichen on his tone with the team and his reaction to fans booing:
Year 8.
Make no mistake about it: Daniel Jones is still playing to prove that he can be the #Colts’ long-term answer at QB. nytimes.com/athletic/7669541…
Daniel Jones is in his 8th year. They aren't serious.
#Colts HC Shane Steichen on Daniel Jones' turnovers:
"It's one of those things like when the play's over, it's over, right? We don't need to try to make something happen there if nothing's open in those situations."
Added that he still has a "ton of confidence" in DJ.
Jonathan Taylor on the #Colts’ nine-game losing streak dating to last season:
“Obviously, for the fans, it’s the Colts (losing streak) as a whole. But for us, it’s a different team, and we can’t dwell on last year. But we also know that this year, we’re 0-2 right now.”
LOL! Fantastic job all around to Chris Ballard, Shane Steichen, and Daniel Jones for being absolute cowards.
They’d rather kick a FG and watch their defense try to stop a real QB instead of going for the win.
Fire this team into the sun.
Someone ask @cirsay where she sees any urgency with this team. An absolute joke of a press conference followed by an absolute joke of a product on the field again.
But hey, the Irsay family hates those Death Star numbers so 🤷🏼♂️
