@1070Bruno: Pagano: Brazill can practice for 1 week under a roster exemption, back from suspension, no move required yet.

@KBowenColts: Pagano on LaVon Brazill's role: "We will throw him back out there at practice this week and see where he's at." 1-week exemption for Brazill

so Reed can gain maybe 2-3 yards extra at the most from running it out of the end zone?

Hey I didn't say I liked it...just trying to relay what I think the coachers are thinking.

Maybe the move to make room for Brazill will be Werner to the Designated to Return IR

he was good at finding holes underneath and moving the chains

 

He had 2 receptions on 3 targets. One of them went for a first down. Those stats don't say he was good at anything. He was doing decent on ST. The Colts can get that production from pretty much anyone (Brazill is a much better ST player). Don't be dramatic and overstate his impact.

Just curious...... why is it everytime someone gets injured people automatically say IR?

Satele got injured and everyone said IR for him. I don't understand that

Because the report is 4-6 weeks for his return. Satele was not that serious.

Whalen has potential to do something. Whalen has performed in the preseason and practice. Hughes is nothing.

He was drafted as a project. I would rather gamble on the upside of a project than play it safe with a borderline practice squad player.

Probably stems from our Cover 2 days when we lost smaller defensive players every week (slight exaggeration), especially defensive backs.

I  overstated his impact I get that but Brazill played in 16 games last year and had all of 1 catch for 11 yards, you also dont have have good numbers to show that you can find the hole in the zone, Its no secret Luck locks into targets and dont always see the wide open player, Now thats not an overreaction thats just the truth,.if your able to go back and watch Rewind you can see Whalen wide open inside the 20 vs the Raiders late in the game, I would be more exact about the particular play if Rewind was working for me right now

But still 4-6 he could just sit. We have the depth (Cam Johnson) to were we don't need to pick someone else up for the time being. I believe we'll do that instead of the return IR

We will have to move someone to make room for Brazill before Sunday.  That's why I said maybe Werner if the coaches feel that is the best route to go.  I'm just throwing the idea out there, I don't actually want them to IR him.  I would rather cut Nixon, now that Satele is back.

That's not good if Havili is out. We need him for the Seattle game to run block. 

 

This does hurt, but Dominique Jones proved against the Niners he's more than adequate to fill the FB slot and block for T-Rich and Brown. We'll be okay unless Jones goes down..And I just looked on the depth chart..Hughes is #2 under Havili, so I guess Hughes might even start this week.

We should trade Matt H. back to the Titans for Kenny Britt.  Since Locker is hurt, and they want to trade Britt.  I know off topic, sorry.

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
