"Come To Work" that is all.....

[schwamm]

Love it. Hope the whole team adopts that mantra!

[Mike Tahoe]

DHB: “My confidence will carry me through the spring training, training camp and I’m looking forward to the season. I know that we’ve got one goal and that’s to win a Super Bowl and that’s all I need.”

 

At least his priorities seem to be in order.

[TKnight24]

This is like when Powers contacted Vontae saying "Welcome to Indy". Then Vontae responded "Let's do work".

Of course we didn't really get to see what those two looked like "doing work" together, but you guys get the point

[Peytonparker]

Awesome

[Buck Showalter]

Change of scenery & working with Reggie may be just what it takes for DHB to be able to meet his potential... Hope it works out... Excited for next season...

 DHB should enjoy a positive work environment. For him, it has been awhile. And older and wiser from the tribulation.

 

 Expect his route tree will be very much like Garcon.  And share some of it with Brazzill, maybe Palmer.
 
 With DHB, Avery, Fleenor, maybe Palmer putting the fear of deep routes on`em, won`t we see a lot of two deep safeties?
 As long as we can run, and play action.... sweet!

it would also open up things underneath for reggie and allen

[TKnight24]

So, should we change the "Wayne" on Reggie's jersey & put "Prof. Wayne"?

Avery doesnt play for the colts anymore

[LockeDown]

We have tall receivers (DHB, Fleener, Allen) and fast receivers (Hilton,DHB,Brazil,Palmer).  If we draft a WR, then he will probably be one of those tall and fast ones thereby giving us a great balance.

[evilleseniorfan]

I was very disappointed that Oakland originally took him so early in the draft.  Like the rest of you armchair QB's, I have no talent-evaluation skills, but his physical attributes made me believe he could be the next #1 wide out.  I still believe that's possible. 

 

If not, he could be a most disruptive #2, that will allow Reggie to look even more outstanding.

First of all, avery is dropping passes for someone else now.

 

And Palmer putting the fear of deep routes into them?

 

Over Hilton and Brazil?

 

As Uncle Si would say:

 

"... No."

I am wondering why the fans like to speculate so much based on a feel good article with no significance whatsoever.

[Qwiz]

Looking at this thread title I was thinking the OP was scheming about some WR screen pass to another WR playcall or something lol.

[weslo1812]

Really anxious to see what this guy will do for us. He supposedly has a great work ethic and works hard but his knock was his hands being iffy. I really think he could take off here. Not getting my hopes up too much, but I have a good feeling about this guy.

[Malakai432]

Yeah people have mixed feelings. Marlin Jackson on JMV said he thought Donnie Avery was better and that DHB was ok, but Joe Montana quoted via Twitter:

Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey is going to be a big weapon for Luck and the Colts. Good to see #KevinWare in good spirits.

Opinions vary, that's the good thing, they're all opinions. Noone can predict the future so noone knows how good he's going to be. He could blow up into a great reciever or be a dud. I predict somewhere in the middle IMO. However, he could be a stud working with Reggie, Luck and the coaches. There is no doubt the talent is there. Lets hope the rest he can improve upon.

[funktacious2]

I don't expect the guy to go out and say, "Nah, I'm gonna pace myself and goes easy in camp.", but it's nice to hear he want s to be a winner.

[Jules]

Very nice.

 

So glad Reggie stayed with us. He has been more valuable since last offseason then words can even describe.....

[shakedownstreet]

you guys are way too hard on avery. watch a 2012 luck highlight video. he makes plenty of appearances

[John Dee]

I really think the change of scenery will do this guy wonders..   

 

Losing sucks the will out of everyone.     Dude aint gonna be losing any more.. 

[shakedownstreet]

i'm sure he plans to fake injuries so he hit the hot tubs and dos equis 

[PrincetonTiger]

A Great Article

[CR91]

you guys are way too hard on avery. watch a 2012 luck highlight video. he makes plenty of appearances

 

for every spectacular play he made he had 5 drops

[John Dee]

Wayne 8 drops, Avery 7 drops, Hilton 5 drops....  with Andrew Luck throwing the ball.  Oh and the TE's....       ughhh..

 

It happens....   

 

I bet once he starts playing in meaningful games he will tighten it up.....   at least if he wants paid he will.

  ( that was directed at DHB)   not Avery... 

for every spectacular play he made he had 5 drops

[dgambill]

I see no reason DHB can't have as a productive season as Avery had last year if not better with his physical attributes and speed. Maybe some of those Luck over-throws will get caught lol.

 

Seriously playing in a positive work environment where he won't be the focus of the defense...with a great young qb....if he fails this year....he is probably out of the league. I honestly honestly think without injuries he has 60 catches 850yds and 7tds. I really think that is what we can get out of this kid.

Off season boredom

[TKnight24]

Very nice.

Yes he has. I'm serious, we should change his Jersey name from "Wayne" to "Prof. Wayne" he's been teaching all our WR's and even Luck a few times

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

As Uncle Si would say:

Actually it would be "No jack" lol

[Narcosys]

DHB: “My confidence will carry me through the spring training, training camp and I’m looking forward to the season. I know that we’ve got one goal and that’s to win a Super Bowl and that’s all I need.”

At least his priorities seem to be in order.

Hopefully he's not relying solely on his confidence to make the team. I don't think that's what he meant and that he has a big head. But I hold he works hard and convinces the FO to keep him off years. He's got potential.

He has guaranteed money, I think he made the team.

Thank you.    That really needed to be said.

 

Some of the Avery comments around here are exceeded only by the Vaughan comments......     

[loudnproudcolt]

I don't know how good DHB can be, but I do know that to succeed you need to have some kind of order and structure. This is the reason there are excellent organizations and bad organizations. The Raiders during the time DHB was there had three different coaches, and four different Offensive Coordinators I believe. Coming out of college, Maryland if I remember correctly, he was very raw. Oakland with Davis continued doing what they had always done. They saw speed and drafted it. Regardless, raw players are not going to flourish and learn without some kind of continuity. He will have this for the first time in his Pro career, and hopefully it will show up on the field. He may of drafted too high, but he was considered a first round talent, so lets hope we got a raw gem.

And, as I learned today, 7 different quarterbacks....     with the Colts, he'll have something he's never had...      

 

Stability.....

[Warhorse]

So, should we change the "Wayne" on Reggie's jersey & put "Prof. Wayne"?

Marvin was the Prime Minister of Routes

Reggie is the Admiral of Catch

 

let's hope we name DHB the Sargent of Speed. 

[Tark The Shark]

And its things like that is why Reggie Wayne is one of the best WRs in the league. Also a terrific team leader.

 

DHB will now have stability at the QB position and weapons around him to take pressure off DHB.

Really?  You could have gone with 'Regent of Routes' and 'Captain of Catch' and you chose these?

Dang.....I searched for an R word.

 

Epic fail....
