So who is returning kickoffs if Reed is hurt? Vaughn? Don't get me wrong I don't think we'll be receiving many kickoffs from the Raiders on Sunday, but I still would like someone back there better than Vaughn.

Cassius Vaughn was really good when he was called to return kicks with the Broncos

His 9 KR he had at Denver his average was 37.2yrds and 1td

Anyone can return kicks for us, it's the blockers that's the problem. Can't go anywhere if people won't block for you. Vaughn will probably be the returner cause Brazill is suspended. And we really don't need to put our Star TY Hilton back there

As long as they don't rush Gastonzo into the mix, this will be really exciting. What's the deal on Bradshaw? Is he 100 percent?

He said he's been 100%. Pagano just didn't want him playing pre-season. Play him when the games matter. And Bradshaw will only play a limited number of snaps anyway so expect Brown & Ballard to run the show come Sunday

So havili could be thrown out there with better blockers and could take one to the house?? Even with better blocking you still need a guy who can read the blocks and find the seam. Hester and cribbs haven't had great blocking and they are two of the best in recent history. I do agree with ty not returning kicks but he is electric on punt returns

@mchappell51: #colts: Full participation-OT Castonzo, TE Allen, TE Fleener, RB Bradshaw, G McGlynn, S Lefeged, LB Harvey

@mchappell51: #colts participation: Did not practice-David Reed (head), Kavell Conner (ankle); limited-DT Fili Moala (knee)

We are pretty much at full strength..

We could probably put out 2nd string in and win this game.

Yeah, you took that way to literally.

 

Anyone meaning anyone who's under the KR/PR section of the depth chart. I don't know who's up there since K Willy is on the PS, Brazill is suspended, Reed is injured, & so on so forth

 

Ty Hilton might do return and I really don't want that to happen cause he's more likely to get hurt during returns than he is just burning defense's on seam routes and post routes.

 

Hopefully Vaughn or Howell do the returns come sunday. Just someone other than our star players

Lefeged has some experience returning kicks also though he has not been particularly good at it. It sounds cheesy but we need another terrence williams for returns... dude was not afraid to run full speed and didn't shy away from contact, although he did have fumbling problems from time to time.

    • Just thought about it this morning as I was reevaluating things.     Maybe he could be a big 3rd or 4th RB, with the ability to line up and lead block?
    • I really do think we will be bringing in Diggs. Diggs has just kept himself inserted in Colts news.     Probably not Simmons though.     Definitely think we will bring in a vet RB, sometime from now to beginning of camp.     With how the draft played out I see a vet CB as well to battle for that 4th outside spot.
    • A. Rich. has a lot to work with this year.  Ballard did a real stomp down job!
    • I haven’t been on the board in awhile but same thoughts here. I didn’t think he’d get out of the top ten.  
    • A+   Laiatu Latu - The kinda guy I've been clamouring for for a long time now and specifically the guy I hoped we'd get this draft. I'm SUPER excited about this pick. If Latu turns into our Hendrickson/Crossby/Bosa the rest of the players in this draft can bust and it would still be A+ in my opinion. Technician without equal and still athletic. There's just so much to love about this guy. Steal #1.   Adonai Mitchell - Steal #2. Ballard stood tall on the hill defending this guy and reportedly Steichen and Wayne have been pounding the table for this guy for some time... and they got him AFTER a trade back? Bruh! Steal! Super athletic and has beat up on some of the top CBs in this draft.   Matt Goncalves - We've needed to upgrade our OL depth and Goncalves can play all over the line. Solid pick!   Tanor Bortolini - Quite possibly our future OC. Super athletic - broke Jason Kelce's 3-cone record at the combine. Love this pick!   Anthony Gould - This could potentially turn out to be a genius move by Ballard & Co. The new return rules means having a good returner is extra important and Gould is likely one of the best in the draft! We also needed a good backup behind Downs since McKenzie left.   Jaylon Carlies - After last season I felt like we needed to upgrade our coverage ability at the LB position. This is a move to do just that. Love it!   Jaylin Simpson - We needed to at least add competition at the FS spot. With us picking Simpson and last years 5th rounder Daniel Scott returning (who Ballard seems really excited about), we seem to be set with young talent there. Maybe we add a vet? Like this pick.   Micah Abraham - Don't know much about him, but he has the pedigree. Doesn't fit Ballard's typical athletic profile, so they must have seen something on tape they REALLY like.   Jonah Laulu - The Colts brought him in for a top 30 visit and he fits their athletic profile. Project. Solid pick in the 7th.
