He ought not to be the back up RB, Hines should be your gadget mismatch player on the field WITH Taylor at the same time. Lindsey should be the backup RB.

I really, REALLY dislike how Reich continues to use Hines as a “replacement” to Taylor, especially at critical times like that attempted hurry up drive, rather than keeping Taylor on the field and bringing Hines in to use as another weapon at the same time. Actually boggles my mind and frustrates me so. Example of the bad of Hines in instead of Taylor, that 2nd down run by Hines, he gets nicked on the run and falls down. Just no way Taylor doesn’t run through that contact getting the easy first down. Result, Colts fail to get the first down, having to punt it away, versus easy first down by Taylor & a 2 minute drive continuing. I like Hines, but I truly believe the Colts continue to misuse him, mostly using him to wrongfully spell a super star RB, instead of putting Hines on the field at the same time as Taylor, creating a dynamic duo and mix matches. Sorry, my first half rant on a team once again looking totally ill prepared for the first game of the season. So far, I am very disappointed.

Bullocks. That was set up to be a big play for Taylor. Very good defensive play by Hughes, the former Colt. Ugh.

Painfully, too cute of a play-call. Put the ball in Ryan’s hands and let the spread out play action option do it’s thing. I don’t mind having gone for it there, but IMHO, dumb play-call that pretty much puts you down a guy on the play, as Ryan could pretty much be ignored. Tough drop by the rookie on 3 rd down.
