Every “playmaker” is an unknown until they play.
That is why I said TY is our only playmaker? We know what we have in him. The others, besides perhaps Mack, not so much.

So you guys that look at this pessimistically and always want to "remind" people that the draft is a crap shoot must be the same type that sees a pretty woman and thinks why bother.....she'll say no, or even if she did say yes the chances are so slim that things won't work out that I won't bother.....
I'm not proclaiming this dude will be an All Pro, I'm pointing out he has a great opportunity to make a difference for our Colts...
Your first paragraph is way out there in terms of relevance. And I'm sorry but we are looking at it realistically, not pessimistically. It's realistic because as much as I want him to work out for us, NFL chances have proven to be slim.

"Bright spot" or not, it's a punter. A guy kicking a ball in the air for 7.5 (!!) minutes. Lmao.
I'd rather watch paint dry.
No need to condemn punters that badly

At a 50/50 clip.....I'll take our loss on Josh Ferguson and our win on Hines....
I wasn't talking about just our team. I meant the whole league. If it was a league-wide 50/50 clip there'd be 16 teams with a Sproles/Woodhead type. Which there isn't. Huge changes are Hines will fade into a below average RB. And that isn't a knock on him, it's just how the NFL is.

I'm not going out of my way to show anyone anything if you can't even acknowledge the parallels....
I believe what I believe....and I look forward to it unfolding on Sunday's this fall.
I hope you're right. But for every Sproles and Woodhead type player etc, there are similar player(s) with similar skills basically coming out of the draft every year that never turn out to be anything. Hines can be something great or, as the game of averages goes....someone cut after a few uneventful years.

It's amazing how you know that Hines won't be a match up problem without ever seeing him play for the Colts.
Its amazing how same say Hines will be a matchup problem without ever seeing him play in the NFL. Can go both ways.

You responded to a post mentioning the offense with TY, Mack and Hines. You also wrote "underacheiver" and "unknowns". So even though you just edited the rather negative end of your post aimed at me, I have read the whole thread. I simply dont agree with you that about the "players" (plural is what you wrote in).
"Relative unknowns" - Mack and the rookies. "Career underachiever" - Ebron. That is what I meant. Its true I did edit it. I'd rather try to explain myself than simply retort negatively.

Rookies are not career underachievers. Neither is Mack. Ty, Hines, Mack could all be playmakers together.
The career underachiever is Ebron, not the rookies. My initial post here was in response to what CR91 said.

your statement would only make more sense if we didn't have a new head coach. Because under pags i would totally agree with u
I'm sure my statement makes sense either way. TY is the only playmaker. The rest are relatively unknowns and a career underachiever.

Mack and Hines on the field in split shotgun with TY in the slot and ebron running up the seam is gonna be a nightmare for defenses to cover. That is too much speed.
I feel like every year we get hyped about our players and think of scenarios that would be a nightmare for defenses to cover. And then nothing ever happens. I don't see this year being any different. TY is literally the only player you mentioned that is a match-up nightmare. No one else.

Darius Leonard is not someone to doubt.
People can feel free to keep doubting him, but he will prove them all wrong. His DNA is different than most humans. He has intangibles that many people don’t even know exist.
Are you sure you're not Darius Leonard himself? If so I'd love an autographed jersey my dude.

On top of everything you just said... just look at the guy, he's an absolute beast.
I think his giant arms make his legs look smaller than they really are. Still, dude should probably have trained his legs as much as it seems he trains his arms

For a moment there thought you were talking about the defensive line

@Calmack why are you confused
I imagine if swoope had as many targets and chances as Ebron did in Detroit he'd perform on par or better than Ebron did in Detroit. Ebron has a bad case of the dropsies and effort problems. I don't see him lasting more than 1 year here.

All you need to know from one game? Also, a lot of hyperbole with "literally everything he did was flat out bad." If anything, that video showed that the Dline was not good that game. Miami really looked like they pushed the Syracuse Dline around.
Did nothing to get off blocks, seemed to give up once the play got past him, did not contest any catches that were thrown in his coverage. Yeah, the d line stunk it up, but so did he.

You're a special type of lost. No use in debating with you.

He isnt 20 pounds lighter he is 198 wilkins is only 213
Wilkins is 216 based off his NFL.com scouting report. Either way, an 18 lbs difference is huge.

Your high i rather have hines cuz he can run the outside and can run between the tackles he is only a lil lighter then wilkins i think dont mean anything leveon bell is short like hines js
What are YOU smoking? Hines is 20 lbs lighter than Wilkins. Also Bell is like 6' 1" or around there. Hines is 5' 8".

Please watch this. I'm all for being hyped about all our players. however, Franklin's tape alone in this game lets me know all I need to know. Sure its a small sample size, but literally everything he did was just flat out bad. Lazy, slow, bad awareness, horrible coverage, average tackling...I don't see him making it out of preseason cuts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka_EEdX2c7I

Bold prediction: This guy is gonna have the most carries of our backs this year. That vision and understanding of angles is unreal. He glides like Bell and Foster. If Vic Ballard can come in as a late round rookie and lead our RBs in carries, so can Wilkins.

Infortunately for a few of our draft picks, i can see at least 3 getting cut and replaced by udfa. Ismael, Scales, Cobbs will make our roster.
And Moore
Scales did not sign with us

It is possible to enjoy yourself AND be a professional at the same time you know. One does not have to cancel out the other.
