Collie Replacement

[PrincetonTiger]

Depending on the injury, should the Colts go out and bring in a replacement for Austin?

[Gavin]

nope

[manning04]

We have Wrs who can step in. so i don't think we need to go and find someone when we have people waiting on the sideline to show their worth.

[GoColts8818]

No I don't think so. We already have Brazil on the roster who isn't playing at all other than special teams. My guess is Hilton becomes the number three guy and Adams and Brazil duke it out for the number four spot.

[John Waylon]

Chad, TO, and Plaxico, oh my!

[PrincetonTiger]

Yes, the Colts can not keep a spot on the active 53 if his injury is longterm

[GoColts8818]

Chad, TO, and Plaxico, oh my!

The only one of those three I would have the slightest interest in is Plaxico. TO and Chad haven't done much of anything in years and don't even look close to being the players they once were let alone the off the field issues that comes with them. Even with Plaxico I am not all that interested. There is a reason no one has signed him to this point.

IR him and either look for another a guy who plays another poistion where we are beat up right now mostly likely spots would be CB or Oline. I'll hope for the best but his reaction was one who knew it was bad but I am wiling to wait till we get the official word.

[Smonroe]

Not going to happen, but I'd love to see a real FB on this team.

[PrincetonTiger]

Chad, TO, and Plaxico, oh my!

I don't like any of those but I was thinking someone like Greg Salas or Kashif Moore behind Brazill,Adams and Hilton or PS as depth and practice body.

[PrincetonTiger]

if it is serious the Colts need someone on the PS at least.

[Flash7]

We just gave up 177 yards rushing and got gashed on a game winning TD reception. Our receivers are not our problem. If Collie is out, we should look to add a player that can best help our team on defense.

[lollygagger8]

I thought Avery was his replacement?

[PrincetonTiger]

Not going to happen, but I'd love to see a real FB on this team.

Every good FB out there is already with a team.

[PrincetonTiger]

He is on the field but the Colts might need one on the roster.

[Smonroe]

There are only 5 in the league now. What ever happened to "LUUUUUKE"?

[Boiler_Colt]

Can we bring Whalen back off of IR when his foot heals? How does that work this year again?

[GoColts8818]

Can we bring Whalen back off of IR when his foot heals? How does that work this year again?

He was on IR before the new rule came out so I don't even think he was eligible to be brought back but either way it doesn't matter because he was not designated to comeback even if he could be. He's out for the year.

[PrincetonTiger]

The player had to be earmarked before the season.

No.

Computer is going hog-wild........3rd time is a charm....GRRRRRR!

to 8818's response on Burress...(would not quote...)

I am intrigued by Plaxico......he looks in great shape. I am not going after him though.... retooling/re-loading?... Brazill...and use Vaughn on kickoffs. Hilton is showing great stuff too.

We need our TEs and receivers to run out every route.....Allen, Adams and Hilton all stopped on routes today....

I am with you...a wait and see........until we can see Then make a solid roster move.

I'm not interested in any of them. I was just going for the lols.

fair enough

[leatherman]

i say we see what happens rest of this year and make a play for welker in the offseason and then draft a wr the following draft

[corgi]

Won't be shocked to see a trade or fa signing or two or three this week. I won't be shocked if we try to get Welker. Sorry I'm in Madden mode and am trying to make the bye week exciting. GO COLTS!

If I've learned one thing it's NEVER EVER EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER trade the with the Pats. You never come out ahead of a trade with them. Also frankly I think we are okay at WR Brazil or Adams just needs to step up and fill the last spot. I am okay going with Wayne and Avery with Hilton in the slot.

[FireJimCaldwell]

I'd let the young ones grow together...

[Warhawk]

I think we're alright addressing it in-house.

Anyway, can we at least be patient and wait for the prognosis? I mean, I saw a Bleacher Report article saying Collie should retire by classifying a knee sprain as a life-threatening injury.

Look, I like the guy, and I worry about him, but I swear to God, if the guy got a paper cut opening his mail tomorrow, some of the people around here would say that he'll probably be dead before 40 because of the blood loss. Chill out a bit.

[leatherman]

honestly for this year we might be better off using a TE in slot.....don't thinkn it will happen

[House]

I wouldn't be entirely opposed to it, IF this was a team who was on the verge of something big.

I feel like we are definitely rebuilding, and I don't see the reason to bust up any chemistry these young players have built.

[PatMcAfeeFan]

I say IR him if it is serious and bump NJB up off the PS. I'm still having troubles figuring out why Mookie is still on the team.

[oldunclemark]

Every good FB out there is already with a team.

I'd love to see a bad fullback..any fullback

[ColtJ82]

I'd love to see a bad fullback..any fullback

Don't Fleener and Allen fill the roll of "Bad" Fullback when they line up in the backfield?

[Andy]

Please let's not bring up TO or Ocho.

We've got Donnie Avery and TY Hilton, who over the past two weeks have proven that they can both handle his workload.

[1959Colts]

Our receivers are not that good.

We do need to bring another in now.

[cbear]

I think we kept six WRs because we knew Collie was going to get hurt sooner or later. Five WRs is plenty, plus Fleener. If his spot comes open, go find help in the Oline.

[ALuck12]

We were fine the first two weeks without Collie on the field. I think we need to get help elsewhere on the defensive side. We could use another CB or S.

Especially if the injuries to King or Davis are long term we would almost be forced to go get another corner. If those guys are healthy I wouldn't be shocked if they went after another o-lineman if we are still banged up there. Again this is all assuming the injury to Collie is as bad as it looked.

Your funny. How would you pay for Welker, mod edit

Seriously?? PLEASE tell me who the Colts could bring in that would automatically be an upgrade to what we have now....

The receivers are fine.. I would play Hilton and Avery on the outsides to force the safety's to play deeper due to their speed. Play Reggie in the slot and let him take advantage of the LB's and nickel backs.
