why dont we use T.Y more like Percy or Cordarrelle

[PhillyCOLTSfan]

I have been wondering why T.Y isnt used more in the offense he needs the ball more he a big play waiting to happen, nd i got him on fantasy so i might be a lil bias lol

[TKnight24]

Cause we have Pep Hamilton.........

[PhillyCOLTSfan]

Hahaha true

Patterson is a freak athlete and is gifted physically  so I wouldn't even compare him to Hilton. TY simply can't do the things Patterson can do.  

[Jhaze55]

No.

 

Because T.Y. is not near as physical as either of them. Percy Harvin is more explosive, and Patterson is bigger. He's a different type of player than both of them.

[Slick_Rick]

I think he is enough of a threat at wide receiver. I wouldn't mind running reverses to him. I just don't want him to get hurt. Running him deep opens up so much underneath.

[BOTT]

Because he is about as big as a gob of spit

[TKnight24]

No.

There's nothing physical about Harvin. Made of glass

[PhillyCOLTSfan]

since we have Hakeem now nd he looks good i say we take more chances with T.Y like let him return punts nd jus give him reverses or even fake reverses take a couple plays out of the eagles playbook nd get him in the open field

[Jhaze55]

He's more physical than T.Y. is. Him being injury done doesn't affect that.

[TKnight24]

He's more physical than T.Y. is. Him being injury done doesn't affect that.

He's bigger than TY yes, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't run the plays Harvin gets with TY.

You have weapons, use them to their strengths.

Hilton in the open field: Bad for Defenses, Good for Us

[JoKeR]

Because he's more like Marvin Harrison than Percy or Cordarrele.

[Dustin]

He doesn't have the skillset. He has great straight line speed. But average lateral agilty and elusiveness.

[BlueCollarColts]

Hilton is a great player... but he isn't the Harvin type player, its just not his game. 

[crazycolt1]

I have been wondering why T.Y isnt used more in the offense he needs the ball more he a big play waiting to happen, nd i got him on fantasy so i might be a lil bias lol

Because of the difference in size and skills. TY is pure speed but don't have the greatest hands. Take a look at the other two you mentioned and there is a difference.

[Superman]

He doesn't have the skillset. He has straight line speed. Average lateral agilty and elusuveness.

 

Which helps explain why he was drafted in the 3rd round, not the 1st, like Harvin and Patterson. 

[ColtsLegacy]

He doesn't have the skillset. He has great straight line speed. Buy average lateral agilty and elusiveness.

 

This.

[Gavin]

I'd certainly use him that way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYmbKz55ZEM, He is a shifty player, Don't know why some say he has average elusiveness, Personally I'd try to get him in open space rather then throwing screens to Wayne or Nicks trying to get them in open space like Pep repeatedly tries to do, Seems like a common sense thing to do to me or at the very least 5 minutes worth of watching tape on Hilton would make it an easy choice to make

[Gavin]

This.

is not true

[12isthenew18]

Good to see the poster named philly colt fan. Not only one from philly reppin the colts

[B~Town]

I think that play works for Harvin because teams are focusing on there RB if our running game gets going there is no telling what we might try .

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

Cause he's 5'9 178 lbs lol... Now I would like to use Moncrief like that though

[ColtsLegacy]

is not true

 

It is. He's better than average but he's no where near as shifty/elusive as Patterson and Harvin.

[USAFHoosier]

I can see bubble screens and maybe the occasional reverse but TY isn't big enough, get him in space and he can shine.

[Gavin]

It is. He's better than average but he's no where near as shifty/elusive as Patterson and Harvin.

Don't have to be as shifty as them...Though I think Hilton is plenty shifty enough, Just have to have a quick burst upon handoff and good field vision, He can make people miss enough

[IMissMarvin]

Which helps explain why he was drafted in the 3rd round, not the 1st, like Harvin and Patterson. 

More because of his lack of size and the fact that he went to FIU and not Tennessee or Florida. Hilton is a very dynamic playmaker,and the Colts should absolutely be trying to get the ball in his hands in open space in any way possible, whether it be bubble screens, quick outs, or running him on reverses. Pep Hamilton needs to be more creativewith his playcalling than lining him up at fullback 

[LordHelpOurColts]

It'd be nice if Luck could get him the ball the way Manning used to get Marvin the ball.

[NewColtsFan]

Because TY Hilton is tiny and not built to be used the same way Percy Harvin is and Cordarrelle Patterson is.

 

It's not as if Hilton didn't see the ball tonight.    He was targeted more than any other Colts player in the game. Even more than Reggie Wayne.

 

People grumbling here are simply upset over the loss.

Dri Archer is even smaller and he showed what he can do in open space in the preseason catching the ball, Pep did a fine job of getting Hilton in open space tonight a couple times but he can afford to be more creative with him, The rest I agree with

Dri Archer, who went in the 3rd from Kent State, and D'Anthony Thomas from Oregon.

 

That's two guys in last year's draft who fit the profile.    The OP wanted to know why ALL teams don't draft a guy like that?

 

Because there simply aren't many guys that size who are fast and shifty and elusive and quick and who are also tough enough to take a pounding.

 

They're a rare and precious commodity.

[Blueblazes]

Because we like to run up the middle on 1st down then again on 2nd down when the game is on the line in the 4th quarter despite having Andrew Luck as our QB (one of the best in clutch situations).

 TY falls down on his own if you haven`t noticed. He is a weakling, one reason it is a JOKE he is on the field to block/set picks.

[HeSoColt]

Probably because TY is nowhere near as skilled as those two guys.

[rock8591]

It's one thing to avoid injury, but you have to use your BEST players on the field.

A return is a huge play in the game, and it makes no sense to put Whalen in when we could be using Moncrief or Hilton in there, especially given our WR depth.
