Vick Ballard to Start?

[OJl]

Welp, if Brown is going to be out it looks like Vick could get the nod!

Here's his chance!

[gbrads_rants]

this will be interesting....we will see if Vick has what it takes and maybe Carter will get to run.....he mustve really been questionable in training camp even after he recovered from his injury

[ColtsLegacy]

This sucks.

[NCost12]

yes brown is out for 2-3 weeks ballard is starting

[lollygagger8]

Throw some out routes, or screens to Ballard and Moore. Carter can run up the gut. It's their time to shine....GO COLTS!

[JoKeR]

Wait WHUT?

[John Dee]

This is HUGE for Ballard.. I think he will be up to the challenge. The key for whoever gets the bulk of the work will be "who" pass blocks the best?

[OJl]

Might as well take this time to figure out if Vick can play. If he can't, RB will have to be a priority this off-season I think.

[Coltswarriors]

This is Ballard's time to shine... Let's see what he's got!

[Captain Americolt]

Ballard is up to the test. How severe is Browns injury?

2-3 weeks

[ConBro]

Ballard will do fine. I remember some of his tricks in the preseason against the steel curtain. He's shiftyout there and has a mean stiff-arm.

[unitaswestand]

I really hope Carter gets to play as well. He must be out of favor with the coaching staff. But what I love is he is a North-South runner who can move the pile. I think he will do well.

[John Dee]

Ballard and possibly Carter will show all our OL haters that a back who will HIT the HOLE HARD will be just fine.

Brown tore ligament in his knee has to get surgery?

[TKnight24]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited to see Mr. Ballard & Mr. Carter get the Start & workload this Sunday. Man, I wish I could watch the game in my Area

[Captain Americolt]

Thanks for telling me his injury.. or asking me..

[Maniq]

Although Brown showed great outside runs against Packers, I think it's excited to see what Ballard really can do when handed the ball consistently.

it's not hating it's just reality

[mystrymaster]

I am more worried about the blocking of the RB at this point.

Brown was doing really good in picking up the blitzes out there (finally)

I don't want an inexperienced back letting luck get hit anymore.

Donald is still not picking up the blitz. He missed one Sunday against the pack.

where at?

[Superman]

where at?

He did. I don't remember what play it was, but he misread the pressure, went right, and the pressure came from the left, and he was way out of position. If I find it, I'll let you know what the quarter and time was.

i remember the play also. i actually laughed a little and said "GD it Donald" lol

[Golfr]

where at?

In the backfield........the blitzer came in and Donald worked his way forward to the LOS where no defenders were.. I do not recall the exact play but I do recall everyone who was watching with me say "look at DB" what is he doing?

[PrincetonTiger]

Go luck Vick

Thing is, that's what people remember. But he picked up a ton of blitzes all game long. And I think that was only his second miss of the season, which is impressive given that Luck has dropped back almost 200 times this season.

make that two

[HoosierDaddy620]

Just want to say first time poster but i have followed the fourm for a long time.

I think we need to take into account that Vick ballard is going to be running on a D that is 31st in the league in run defence.

I hope he has a big game, It will help Luck out alot. But lets not all be screming for him to be the starter if he rips them one.

I just hope they take the ball with them.

Torn cartelage. My guess is they scoped the knee to remove any floating debris. This is much preferrable to surgery with short recovery.

[inviolable]

This is carter's chance to get some playtime as well, I am guessing they aren't impressed with his fumblitis from last season?

This.

He has done a great job this year.

I was scrolling down reading replies and hoping to see someone comment on them being 31st on run D so I wouldn't have to... Not the same D they once were, I think Ballard could have a good game..
