So will Bradshaw continue to get half the carries?

Bradshaw should get the bulk of the carries, Richardson's 3.5 ypc still worries me, he's got to prove that he's worthy of being the number 1 back over Bradshaw! And to be honest I really don't think he will.

:facepalm:

He averaged 2.7 in his debut game. Mind you he barely knows our offense. He'll be fine here

Bradshaw might be on a 1 year contract but I think you seriously consider bringing him back.  

This kid brings such a champions mentality to the team, I think his impact is greater than what

people are accounting for.  Based on what I've seen so far, Tom Coughlin can't be very happy

about losing Bradshaw. They need to be pretty careful about what they decide to do at running back

Since T-Rich and Ballard are both fairly new to the NFL then we should keep Bradshaw to show them both the in's and out's and the attitude to become better runners.

If Bradshaw is completely healthy after this season, I see absolutely no reason why not to at least try to bring him back.  If he doesn't want a ridiculous contract or anything.

I think Bradshaw's playing at the level where, if we can do it affordably, we'd be fools not to bring him back. I like Ballard, but it's a serious roll of the dice to let Ahmad walk and bank on Vick coming back 100% next year off an ACL injury, especially when he wasn't the most explosive back out there to begin with.

I agree.. but I just wonder if we ultimately play T-Rich much more because of the first round.. kinda like the Braves refusing to bench Uggla and BJ Upton because of their huge contracts even though they are the 2 worst hitters in baseball.. I don't think our staff is that egotistical though..

 - sorry to throw in baseball but it was a good example 

Guess you haven't seen J.P Arencibia's stats this year, he my friend is the worst hitter in baseball.

 

Bradshaw should split the carries, or go with the hot hand. Bradshaw will eventually get hurt I think, I don't want him too but he has a history, at that point TRich will take the ball and run with it!

I want Bradshaw to stay.

 

I agree with  this quote. He has a professional mindset and runs ANGRY with HEART and EMOTION!!! Pretty darn good back for the money we are paying him  this year. He looks to be the best value on the roster so far. If the injury bug stays away from him this season, I expect him to be extended for a year or maybe two. I would rather have 1 Bradshaw than 2 Donald Browns. JMO :hide:

Hehe nice post, but let me go to the archives!

Dan Uggla appreciates the gesture, but as you can see,  Arencibia is a mere boy among men when compared to Uggla =) Also, BJ Upton is at .184 but he doesn't have enough AB to qualify due to his DL stint.. Amazing.. the 2 highest paid players on the team.. and Upton has the richest contract in Braves history :facepalm:

Lol he sure is bad, but look at that .309 OBP and look at JP. I think you don't want either of them on your team! :)

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
