Indianapolis – Tyler Warren’s first game of his first NFL season told you everything you needed to know about his place in the Indianapolis colt offensive.
The Treated Recruit Bout, drafted 14th by the colts, was the first reading for the quarter Daniel Jones during the first game of the melee team during the opening of the season of Sunday.
Jones used the playing action at Jonathan Taylor on the right side to freeze the defense, then trampled on his left, where Warren had escaped the defensive winger of the dolphins of Miami, Jaelan Phillips and was wide open.
Warren washed the short pass, then went to work seriously. After receiving two meters from the melee line, Warren scolded 12 meters before the Jack Jones corner half made him fall. As usual, Warren was not easy to stain; He gave Jones a blow on the lawn path.
Just like that, the Tyler Warren era was underway in Indianapolis. And the colts could not be happier.
“He’s just a good football player,” said Jones.
Warren proves this true declaration in an innumerable way. Its regular season debut demonstrated the complete spectrum of its talents, its receiving prowess to its blocking and even its ability to collect racing lessons in short-yarding situations.
But, as soon as the door is released, the colts showed that they intended to rely on Warren in the game of passes. It was targeted three times when opening by car against Miami, catching the three passes for 43 yards. The first game training generally includes scripted games of attacking staff, in fact the calls that the team believes to have the biggest chances of success.
This warren was used so heavily, so early, said something about the place where he ranks in the offensive peaking of the colts. Later in the same journey, Warren made a reception of 21 yards on an external route which forced him to turn around and catch the ball in the air, which he did effortlessly.
“Some of these things have been designed” for Warren, said coach Shane Stechen.
Warren finished with a record of seven receptions for 76 yards. Only one tight end, Juwan Johnson from the Holy Orleans (eight receptions), caught more passes during week 1.
But the complete history of Warren’s contributions cannot be told with simple figures. Take, for example, what happened on the reception of a touch of 27 yards of Michael Pittman Jr. in the second quarter. The colts took advantage of the IFEATU Melifonwu security, which was half a split safety alignment. Even while Pittman exceeded a defender below and started running on the uncovered touch line, Melifonwu never removed Warren’s eyes, which rushed into sewing on its own vertical road.
“Security has remained inside the numbers,” recalls Steichen.
This allowed Pittman to carry an easy socket for the touch while the colts took a 10-0 lead on the path of an eruption of 33-8. This is the kind of game that Warren is very proud.
“You can’t double everyone, right?” Said Warren. “There are a bunch of guys who, I think, deserve a double team and deserve some attention, but you cannot give it to everyone. So it helps everyone in the offensive.”
Warren has also shown that he was ready to mix like a blocker. His efforts to obtain the field and block the security of Dante Trader Jr. on the end of the fourth quarter around allowed the Receiver Ashton DULIN to reach the line of 1 yards after a gain of 16 yards. It is the Warren block that came out of Dulin from the second level of the defense to make the explosive game.
“You are going to have to do dirty work and catch the pass,” said Warren.
And, sometimes, you will have to tighten your chinstrap as Warren did during a third and 1 in the first quarter. It initially aligned itself as a traditional tight end, then signaled in the rear field, positioned as a rear.
Jones took the SNAP then immediately returned to Warren, who skillfully found a fold in the gave and exhausted three meters from the room.
It was as good as the colts could have reasonably been able to expect from their first choice. But things could become much more difficult this week when the colts welcome the Denver Broncos (4 p.m. He, CBS), which could have the best defense in the League.
“A good start for Tyler,” said attacking coordinator Jim Bob Cooter.
But given the extent of Warren’s talents and his ability to have an impact on games in many ways, there is probably much more to come.
