Tipton elevate, Okine Waived.

[Jackie Daytona]

Zurlon was brought up from PS, and they waived DL Earl Okine......too bad, was hoping Okine would show something, guess they needed Tipton this week worse....

[DougDew]

Winn has probably shown enough to stick.  Perhaps the game plan this week will involve more power running, given the situation and Luck's shoulder.

[Everyone]

Okine will probably land on the PS.  I would've rather kicked the tires on Bradshaw instead of bringing Tipton up though.

[MTC]

I liked Okine. 

[shakedownstreet]

wow

[pgt_rob]

What happened to Okine? Why do we need more active RB's?

[shakedownstreet]

interesting

Varga hasn't practiced this week, and is in concussion protocol. Robinson was limited yesterday. 

[JRnINDY]

Won't see the field, it's because Varga is in concussion protocol

[12dalegend]

Sounds like their gonna run the ball a lot vs Jags

[pgt_rob]

Did not know that about Robinson. Bummer. Gore and Tipton show this weekend?

[12dalegend]

Ahhhh...okay...makes sense now

[Dustin]

Varga hasn't practiced this week, and is in concussion protocol. Robinson was limited yesterday. 

 

Also, Varga being out means we're down a KR. A position Tipton can fill in at. 

[COLTS449]

I don't like this. We're better off with Bradshaw than Tipton. I really liked Okine. He'll probably be back, but still. He was getting some snaps and didn't look all that bad if you ask me.

[Bluefire4]

This means at least one of Varga or Robinson will be out this week.. maybe both.

[jszfunk]

I like Zurlon..gives the Colts a different dimension at RB.

[Gavin]

Okine I think ends up on the PS

[NagelHausForge]

Why is everyone stuck on Bradshaw still?  Yes, he did great for 6 games last season but the guy is a walking IR ticket.  Move on.

[Chucklez]

Hopefully a lot more Gore than Tipton........

[Everyone]

I'd take a 1 legged Bradshaw over Tipton any day.

[BullsColtsFan1]

Because Bradshaws production in 6-10 games would be a heck of a lot better than Tiptons in 16+ games.  Bradshaws also a seasoned vet.  I think Bradshaw Gore combo would have worked good.

[ColtsConsistency]

Zurlon was brought up from PS, and they waived DL Earl Okine......too bad, was hoping Okine would show something, guess they needed Tipton this week worse....

Wasn't Boom Herron more productive last season than Tipton? Why did we release him? Was it because he was more of a power runner like Frank Gore is, but not as effective than Gore has been. Also, is it that Sirloin Tip is more shiftier or speedy than Gore..a change of pace back?

[DougDew]

When did Varga get concussed..on a pass block? I think every TN kickoff was a touch back.

[csmopar]

Didn't know that. Thanks

Heck yeah we are. There was an article about Okine and how enthusiastic the coaching staff was to have him and then he's waived one week to the next? I thought the consensus was that he was doing well?

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Tipton sucks, man.

I doubt it. Boom was fast and shifty like Bradshaw. Tipton is just a slow back.

[krunk]

I'm wondering if Billy Winn and T.Y. Mcgill will be active on Sunday or will it just be Billy Winn?

[Gavin]

When did Varga get concussed..on a pass block? I think every TN kickoff was a touch back.

He also played 22 other snaps on special teams and 7 on offense

[Architects08]

Tipton sucks, man.

[UKColt13]

Hope not. There are glaciers that move faster than Tipton.

[Superman]

Doesn't really matter when every kickoff is gonna be out the back of the end zone.

[DougDew]

I guess he got whacked late in the game whilst on the punt team or a Colts KO.

[RockThatBlue]

I like Zurlon..gives the Colts a different dimension at RB.

Yeah, his ability to not get passed the line of scrimmage is certainly a different dimension.

[ColtsLegacy]

Okine was our least productive lineman by far and I think they really like McGill. In all likelyhood Okine will go to the PS and he might be back as soon as next week if Varga and Robinson are back by then.

[Bravo]

People need to give up on this Bradshaw thing.....

If anything the Colts are gonna wait until the end of the season to pick him up so he is still

Somewhat healthy if the Colts make the playoffs.

[CanuckColt]

What happened to Okine? Why do we need more active RB's?

Because Hasselbeck is going to play dinky-dunk and they are going to run the ball.

[pgt_rob]

Hasselbeck??

[COLTS449]

McGill will probably be active Sunday. But I just don't get why we've held on to Tipton. We'd be better off signing Mike James off Tampa's PS. Tipton's pretty terrible.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

One armed boom. .. No legged Ballard is still 3 times better than Tipton
