@Mouthfire We don't even give the runningbacks we draft a chance... Did we give Mike Hart a chance? Not really, but he was actually OUTPERFORMING Brown in the 2010 season, his stats from the 2010 season are even better than Browns stats now and they have the same amount of carries and people were still complaining about our line play in 2010, so we still have the same issue, but Mike Hart (a 3rd string back) was outperforming our current starter. Javarrris James? (we didn't draft him) Had 6 TD's in 2010, Like 90% of his carries were in the redzone, so we had a terrible line, like we do now, and a runningback that was 4th string (I believe) had 6 TD's in the redzone which Donald Brown doesn't do with virtually the same terrible line that everyone is still complaining about, we didn't give him a chance in the open field, he had 46 total touches, and like I said they were almost all redzone, and he did pretty good in there, so he wasn't given a solid chance. We gave Carter a chance, but he had fumbling problems, (understandable that he isn't a starter) but if he fixes that, I like him as a runningback, he kind of reminds me of Brandon Jacobs when he runs.
We haven't given Ballard a chance we give him a carry here and there, but we haven't gave him a REAL chance. Out of Brown and Carter, Brown is better, Carter fumbles, doesn't really pick up pass blocks well either.
Out of Brown and Ballard couldn't tell u who is better until Ballard gets a legit shot. Brown is the only one who has gotten a chance to prove himself other than Carter. Out of all of those backs we have had, only 2 have had a legitimate opportunity.
So say we fix the offensive line problem in free agency and drafting, and skip out on Ball, now mind u that I said we should take Ball IF we make a trade to acquire those picks I said and not even with our top 2 picks. So u keep arguing with me all over a theoretical draft trade that might not even happen. but anyway say Brown ends up doing his usual 40 yards per game still? Then what we just say oh well guess we should've got a runningback somewhere, or we keep blaming the line?

@Gavin I believe we have 3 picks as of right now, and u guys are saying we need to draft both guards and a right tackle, so that would be all of our picks.
@NewColtsFan There are some GM's that would make that trade, Skins, Browns, Rams could even make it since they have all those picks. And I agree with Chapman, I thought he was a great pick for us, but I'm pretty sure Nose Tackle is one of the most important in a 3-4 scheme, just because for example right now, we are doing ok at stopping the run, well not against the Jags, but Bears and Vikings we looked a little better than previous years. If we get a nose tackle like the 3 I named to take up 2 offensive lineman or even get 1 on 1 blocking and he can over power the lineman to help stop the run, that will give our linebackers clear shots to make tackles for short gains/losses. Correct me if I'm wrong cause I didn't really keep up with other teams a few years ago, but wasn't Haloti Ngata a NT? He did pretty good for the Ravens, stopping the run, and applying pressure on the QB. Same with Haynesworth, before he became a lazy player.

Somebody started drinking a little bit early.
Any given sunday as they say...that said it would be an uphill battle to beat the Texans...basically everything go right and we play our best and they there worst to pull that one out.
The Titans will be close grinders. They always are....even when we had Peyton and a clearly better team. They play us tough. They usually run the ball well and we are starting to see CJ2K look better....no where near 2k better but perhaps 1k. I think if we play well we split with them. The only way we split with the Texans is a fluke like Minny over 49ers or by them sitting their starters.
Totally started drinking early, are u sure u weren't? We beat the Texans last year with Orvlosky as our QB, ok Orvlosky, I understand they didn't have Schaub, but really we had Orvlosky against their D! And seeing as they will probably be resting their starters the last game, we can definitely beat them once. The Titans, so what that CJ0K had 1, I repeat, 1 good game in how long? They have Locker at QB, he looks like he is sort of struggling, and he is getting hurt, who is their backup? Hasselbeck, well Hasselbeck is old, probably brittle, he can;t escape from our pass rush, if we contain the run in both games we play against them, we win. Not that difficult to figure out, seeing as we lost Pagano now, I think now we will lose to the Titans once.

@NewColtsFan How is a draft trade not likely? We will most likely have a top 10 pick with Pagano having Leukemia now, I say we will have the 6th overall pick. Which we should trade down to about the 18th spot maybe even lower, depends how the rest of this college football season pans out, and get a top 3 DT prospect, I really like Star Lotuleli as a #1 pick for us, or even Johnathon Hankins and they should be available around pick 20. If we make a trade to move down from almost a top 5 pick, we will get quite a bit in return, most likely swap first round picks, maybe a round 2 and a round 3, anything is possible. I mean look how much the Rams got for the #2 pick, thats only going to be 3 or 4 spots above where we draft, I think we can get at least half of what the Skins gave up. I rather have Ballard start to see how well he does, but that is unlikely to happen
@Mouthfire ur comparing Brown to a guy who just tore his ACL last year, not the best choice because I would hope that Brown is getting similar stats to a runningback who is coming off surgery. We will see when draft time comes around, but after watching our drafts, and our history being draft a runningback every year, guess we will be drafting a runningback this year too. What are u guys going to say if we spend all of our picks on offensive line, don't get a DT, just all line, and Brown doesn't do anything still?? I rather draft a safety blanket for when that happens, right now I want us to start Vick Ballard for just 1 game, see how he does getting the load of the carries, we experimented with Carter last year, why not Ballard this year?
-
If u guys really want to deal with a decent runningback like Brown, and make Luck throw over 40 times a game while giving Brown only 14 carries a game cause he doesn't do anything, be my guest, looks like we will have another QB that will need surgery soon. If we don't get a run game, Luck won't last long, at least Peyton had Faulk and Edge, sure Donald Brown has roughly the same amount of yards per carry as them, he also has about half the attempts.
-
@Mouthfire I said 3rd round, that would be 3rd biggest need, and yes, we need a runningback.
@Gavin Wow he ran that many yards in college? This is the pros, not college that 5.7 yards per carry means nothing in the pros. And yea I said our Guards are terrible, not our entire O-Line, even if we had great guards we still wouldn't have a run game, because like I said Donald Brown=garbage. Drops open passes too. Guess what, the Browns have a terrible line, but Richardson still produces, which is why we need a runningback, Brown is a decent back, but we need a GOOD back, not DECENT, we haven't broke 1000 rush yards for 5 years, when Addai was actually good, and not dancing for negative yards in the backfield.
@ColtsGuy510 Thats why I listed 2 other receivers we could get.
-
We will probably beat the Titans both games, They don't look good this year, and they lost their best cornerback to the Rams. we will split games with the Texans, Andre Johnson is not his old self. Schaub isn't a good QB, All they have is the run, and a great D, Their D is what holds that team together, if we can break that D we win, simple as that. We have a shot at winning the division, if we contain that pass rush, and Luck makes smart decisions
-
Not to mention it could help out T.Y Hilton who is doing great for us right now. If we run a no running back set, and play Wayne, Avery, Hilton, and the any of those receivers we draft, and Fleener, thats a solid @$$ corp
-
No way, we have Connor, Angerer, Freeney, Mathis, and the emerging Freeman and maybe even Hughes for linebackers right now, we are set there. The guy is good, but he is not a need, we need a DT, a run stopping DT, think about this, we face MJD, Foster, and Chris Johnson for 6 games. Now Johnson isn't performing well, but he still picks of quite a bit of yards against us, he sucks the whole year, but breaks out against us. If we draft a DT with our first round pick, or even trade down to get the #1 Dt prospect I would love it. Star Lotulelei, for god sake, the guys first name is STAR, that says it all lol. Johnathon Hankins, John Jenkins. We need one of these guys.
For our 2nd round pick (I think we traded this pick away to get Davis, but hopefully we can get a pick in a trade) Maybe trade our 1st round pick and get a later first round pick, a 2nd round pick, and a 3rd round pick, we need help on the O-Line, I'm thinking the best available offensive guard, our Tackles aren't looking too bad, it's our guards that our breaking the chain, we need good guards so we can run the ball.
For our 2 3rd round picks (If we make the trade)- Montee Ball. I hate Donald Brown, he drops open passes, and he isn't a good back, I'm hoping Montee Ball drops to the 3rd round and we swoop him up, all of these picks are very possible, I have a feeling teams will be focusing on defense big time for the first 2 rounds, which means, players like Ball, and receiver Justin Hunter will fall in draft stock. For our other 3rd round pick IF we make a trade- If what I predict is right about teams focusing on defense, then we should be able to to take Justin Hunter, Terrance Williams, or DeAndre Hopkins.
With these picks we have a TEAM. The other picks we have I'll leave that to Grigson and the others. But this is what we should do in the first 3 rounds. We get our DT, an O-line, RB, and a Receiver to complement Wayne and Avery since Collie's career is pretty much over. Which will also spread the field out for Fleener and Dwayne Allen.

We will probably end up 9-7 with losses against the Bears, Packers, Jets, Lions, 1 loss against the Titans and 1 loss against the Texans, and we will probably lose a close game to the Chiefs (they're defense is really good and they have 2 good runningbacks). We really don't have that easy of a schedule. records mean nothing, it's all about the way a team plays, we aren't good against the run, so a run based team that should go 2-14 has a good chance to beat us, our O-Line sucks, so a blitzing team has a good chance to beat us. The Texans will end up 9-7. Jags will be 4-12. Titans will be 8-8

@Mouthfire Hart didn't do so well but outperformed Brown? So if Hart didn't do so well but he outperformed Brown, that means Brown isn't that good either, if u say that Hart wasn't good. And um... Brown has 155 yards, that would be about 52 yards a game not that big of an exaggeration. And we play the Packers this week, and Brown won't exactly be racking up the yards, so then his 52 yards a game will go down closer to 40, and just keep getting closer and closer.
