Heyward-Bey

[Dark Superman]

I know his stats don't pop out but I'm really liking this kid in the blue and white.

He hustles and isn't afraid to use his size in order to throw a block.

He's having fun and seems to really enjoy being here.

He plays hard.. Even though I'm still waiting for Luck to find him deep.

I'm hoping his breakout game comes soon..

THIS!! 

[Dark Superman]

THIS!!

YES! YES! YES!

[BOTT]

I could be mistaken, but DHB, despite his speed, has never been much of a deep threat.

[Dustin]

Yeah, he has a hard time tracking the ball through the air.

 

It's part of the reason he's only been getting thrown short to intermediate passes. 

[PrincetonTiger]

He has had a great year so far

[GoodLuck]

For a guy with elite speed, he doesnt seem to get much separation. My only knock on him so far.

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

DHB, Rogers, Hilton, Fleener, Allen and hopefully a true #1 WR could be lethal in the future. 

[BrentMc11]

I am very pleased with his effort going after passes.  He almost hauled in the one hander yesterday!!

 

For the football purist in me, I have been EXTREMELY happy with his blocking.....not afraid to use that big body!  Thumbs up to DHB!!!!          !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[achcolts]

agreed OP. especially the part where it looks like he really enjoys being here. the vibe and unity of the colts team is a nice part of the reason for their success

[NewEra]

I thought he has sued well. Much better than people thought and think.

[chrisfarley]

he should have caught that TD pass from Hasselback.

[chrisfarley]

He's no Marvin Harrison, but then again, we don't have Peyton Manning.to get him the ball either.

[BrentMc11]

Would have been a very nice catch....I am sure your avatar would have had no problem catching it....nor mine if it was a frisbee

It shows hes a Team player IMO you cant get enough of players like this . :thmsup:

I really like the way he is playing.  I honestly have no complaints.  We are not getting TY the ball in great YAC positions either.  One of these days the offense will click and put 50 on someone!

[Jay Kirk]

Not to change Subject but Fleener didn't look half bad,and Brazil can come back now,not sure where he fits in right now,but can deffinately be a plus on special teams.

[BrentMc11]

If Fleener had dropped those the forums would have exploded....wide open

 

 

Whalen going to get cut?  Reed? Whalen to IR?  

 

I personally would like to see Mathews get cut, and Guy stick......

HMMMM...I could not open this...and now it pops up....good dog!

[SOMDColtsfan]

DHB looks more like a possession receiver than a one hit wonder which really surprises me in a good way. Really polishing his game 

[Smonroe]

I'll take your word for it, I never followed him in the pros. I thought that he did a good job of it in college.

On another note, and I love Reggie, but if DHB had as many drops as Reggie he'd be getting scoured on this forum. Granted, Reggie's drops were on passes no one expected a normal receiver to make.

I am glad you said that Smonroe.

 

Not just Reggie's drops, but I would like to see a better effort trying to 'break up' passes like a CB or safety to avoid INTs....he has ALWAYS been good at this, but lately seem to not be going after them...2 games in a row.

[SLILLINGTON10]

you make it sound like you don't think reggie is a #1 WR

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

I said "future". Reggie is as much of a #1 as it gets but the rest of the options I've mentioned have not reached their potential yet. By the time they do, Reggie might be retired.

@Colts_Comments: Darrius Heyward-Bey has the highest blocking grade of any WR in the NFL this season according to PFF (+3.2 grade, 2nd has +2.4 grade) #Colts

If this were my first day on this forum, it would have been my last because I would have thought that that is the most insanely outrageous thing I'd ever heard and I wouldn't believe you. 

 

Thankfully, I do know you and think it's just a stat that I'd never thought the day would come where DHB was #1 at anything.

I feel like Reggie stopped playing defense on bad passes beginning last season. There were a few INTs last season where it looked like he just watched the defender make a play. Granted, some of those were bad throws by Luck, especially last season, but still it is perplexing why Reggie seems to be content to just let the pass go where it will recently.

As Coach Brent says, you don't block you don't play!

[coltsfanmilyman]

DHB needed a change of scenery and a mentor(87)  While I still think he was drafted too high, I can see him sticking around here for a chance to play for a contender.  Hopefully he can develop into somewhat of a possession receiver a la Wayne.  Either way, thus far, it seems like Grigs knows what he is doing.

My personal belief is this maybe how Reggie intends to keep playing Forever

You can see even when he's running with the ball it's like he's protecting his body moreso than gaining as much yardage possible

... I for one am fine with Reggie's choice on how he handles HIS career

I'm fine with it as well. We need him for a few more years more than we need the extra 2-3 yards he could pick up trying to fight for extra yards.

[LockeDown]

Marvin always protected his body

have you been watching the games this year?

 

if so,  how do you have that opinion?  especially hearing that pagano wasn't happy with reggie going balls out to get first downs.

Yeah I've watched every game this far and clearly Reggie's running smart instead of ALL OUTwhen he has the ball

Not knocking him but I see his YAC effort as a way to prolong what is a HOF career

you should have just said no

you should have just said no

Or you could've not involved yourself

4 games..

, we know 4 games is nothing,..

but we still make statements based on what happened in the first 4 games..

Its 4 games...good or bad,..its nothing

[dudeski]

Or you could've not involved yourself

myself and chuck pagano think you are wrong.

 

if you dont want to believe me, that is fine.   check the head coach though.  you will see your observation is beyond foolish

I think your forgetting that its my observation so how your opinion factors in matters how ??? Oh
