  1. I agree that he would be the best RB on our team and would have the talent to be our #1, but he's also not been able to really carry the load without getting dinged up. So I would expect that Ballard would still get the majority of the carries so that we don't overuse Bradshaw.

    i think it would be a 60/40 ratio more so than the 80/20 he had when he ran with Brandon Jacobs. 

    Honestlty this signing would make my day just because there is nothing else going on in the colts world. 

  2. He's been in a tandem (with Jacobs and more recently Andre Brown), so no change there.

    I'd say I'd still like to see what the guys we have can do with the other improvements being made, but it isn't up to me. If the FO deems it necessary to add another back, Bradshaw is as decent an option as I've seen proposed to date.

    I just like that Ballard is coming off a solid rookie season, and has room to improve - over Bradshaw who is coming off another ankle surgery, and is likely already past peak.

    And I stand nearly alone in the camp that wants to see how OLine changes impact DBs (and the rest of the stable's) game before spending money on more RBs.

    How will there be no change there?? Ballard would get the majority of the carries and Bradshaw would get the rest and spell Ballard. This makes him less likely to get an injury. 

  3. Sorry. I watch the Giants. AB spent a lot of time banged up, and wasn't nearly as productive when he was. See game 2 (5 carries for 16 yards, no receptions or TDs), game 9 (15 for 48), game 14 (11 for 33), and game 16 (9 for 39) as examples.

    When he's healthy, he's solid. But he's banged up A LOT.

    Sorry. Whether you want to admit it or not Bradshaw is still a better back than Ballard, a man that is as banged up as you say still getting impressive yardage totals and per carry average(4.6last year), and tough goaline tds. That is pretty darn impressive for someone banged up as much as you say. So from the stats you gave me ill take that as when hes healthy=Great back, top 10, when hes banged up=hes average. If he were to used in tandem with Ballard i'd be willing to bet he wont be banged up as much and will put up some nice numbers for us. 

  4. The "games played" stat may not correlate to healthiness, fwiw. Just like DeAngelo Williams, who was the beneficiary of a similar thread before he re-signed with Carolina, Bradshaw is shown playing in several games last year despite being banged up and unproductive in them.

    Most players in the NFL play "banged up" and they still produce. Just like Bradshaw last year, he is still a proven runningback and if signed would be the most talented rb on our roster. In the games he played, he was still very prodcutive, much more so than any back on our roster. 

  5. Well, in other :colts: news

    @mchappell51: #colts starting O-line appears to be: LT Castonzo, LG Thomas, C Satele, RG McGlynn, RT Cherilus

    @mchappell51: #colts wrap up another OTA day. some great connections between QB Andrew Luck and WR LaVon Brazill

    @mchappell51: #colts CB Greg Toler still making plays in secondary. Missed a practice last week with sore foot

    Interesting...........

    I'm really not liking that McGlynn starting over there.
