Exactly. Why in the world would the Colts need some high priced rb when the QB they've selected to build the franchise around will be eating into said rb's volume of carries every game? Not to mention said rb hasn't played in a game in 8+ due to an ankle injury, and evidently he still hasn't recovered from it.
Three decent, interchangeable, well rounded mid round draft pick running backs is the best fit for this team at this point.
I think AR's career will take on a new trajectory now that he didn't play an quarters in that preseason game last night.
I foresaw good things for him up until yesterday; now I don't. At all. Thanks alot Steichen, for ruining a prime draft pick with unlimited potential.
Yes. Bryan and Lewis are fine at backup.
I don't know what Johnson even brings to the table, and Adebawore is a question mark at this point in camp, as well.
So you're saying our 3 starters and top backup are good, but there's a dropoff after that? Welcome to modern football. That's a better position than 80% of this league. Most of the time there will only be 2 linebackers on the field anyways.
The OL wasn't good the middle of last season, so of course everyone will carry forward that same narrative to this season, no matter how they actually perform.
Fact is, the starting OL looked good yesterday, even without Smith.
He didn't say well liked by the fan base, he said well respected by his peers. Which he is.
Who gives a crap if he's liked or not by the general NFL fan base.
