Joe wont be out long guys... Maybe the next 2 games thats it. He said he's not feeling any pain in his hamstring so thats a good thing. He think he will be out 1 or 2 weeks thats it! (Im the source on this) Best Friend

Well, that's good to hear, and thanks for the info.

I hope he's back soon.

argh....Joe is the most stylish runner in the league, and was off to a great start. I thought he had a chance to easily beat out his rookie year.

idk about stylish, i would give that one to AP.. the weirdest moves? yes.. he has this one studder step that always gets defenders sometimes. At least the colts will get to see more of Carter and so will fans.. im definitely looking forward to his running.

Not sure what to think really about the Evans signing.
I have nothing against him at all, but if you think about it, the Colts have not historically gotten another rusher when one went down before unless it was serious.
Maybe Im not remembering correctly, but from what I recall, if its only going to be a game or two, or even three, they generally go with the other two.
Whats the point of having two other guys, if neither can handle the load?

And whats that say about at least one of those two that they cant?

Either Brown stinks, and should have been cut before the season started and someone else acquired in his place, or Addai is hurt worse than they are saying.
Now Im not one of the Colts are lying to us people, but I think this season has been so bad injury wise that they are now willing to be as optimistic as possible with regard to recovery, and thus pessimistic with regard to the seriousness of the injuries sustained, even though in the past they might not have been.
Anyway, Carter cant and shouldnt be expected to be able to pick up the load since this is only his first year, but Brown should. Hes well rested...and he has been here long enough.
If he cant, then simply, he needs to go. He isnt a 6th round pick, and its not his first year.
Im glad Evans is back, but I wonder what that means overall for the team....Addai and Brown included...

Another instance of complaining just to complain. You are making much ado about nothing. There is no NFL team that goes into a game with only 2 healthy, active RB's on the game day roster. The Colts generally carry 3 active backs. Remember the Ravens game in 2008 - when Hart blew out his knee and Addai got hurt in the 1st half so they were left with Rhodes and nothing else for the rest of the game. They added a back because of injury, cut a guy who was not going to play because either Diem or Castonzo will be returning this week. Not exactly sure how this is a bad thing.

I suppose your post then is jumping to conclusions or making false assumptions just to do that...

I wasnt complaining, I was asking. And I NEVER said it was a bad thing they cut a guy or about Diem/Castonzo playing. I dont recall or see where I said anything about the O-line at all.

Thanks for telling me where you stand with it all though.

I thought I clearly said I wasnt sure about the number of backs situation, and that I didnt think they generally rushed out and signed a guy with two healthy guys, and you confirmed that with your info about the Ravens game.

For that thanks. The rest you could have left out...

JA is definitely hurt worse then what we first though. That is very disappointing because he has been having a very solid year even without Manning.

Let him rest and come back 100%. With the season lost no reason to rush him back.

No he's not!! Some of yall are reading to much into the EVANS signing. Every team has 3 or more RB's on the active roster and with Joe being out 1-2 weeks, they had to sign Evans to the active roster because Carter & Brown are the only 2 backs on there! Just because they signed Evans doesn't mean Joe is hurt worse.. He is feeling fine. There's no pain in his hamstring which is a good thing but its a little tight but he doesn't think he will miss more then 2 games, if 2!! Let's not assume things because of a signing.. Joe will be back playing very soon!!

      Pick #46/ #82 What's Available Day 2? Discussion

      By smittywerb · Posted

      I just knew there was going to be a run on WRs later in the first.   welp, hoping we trade up for either AD (character concerns and all) or Troy Franklin.   there is no way we can leave this draft not drafting some type of burner in this deep WR draft.     Welp, can’t be too mad.  We can’t pick ‘em all and I’m ok with who we picked.

      I haven't paid much attention to the draft and looking OR making mocks 'cause with Ballard you usually will be disappointed...... like most on this Forum are tonight. Lol   But I wasn't surprised by a defensive linemen being picked. I didn't think he would go CB or trade up for a elite receiver or Bowers would fall to 15. And honestly I know noting about Latu  except a few highlights I seen switching from the draft and Yankee game.  I liked the highlights but not crazy about the conference he played in and  his medical history.   I was hoping for Bowers but not surprised he's not a colt especially when Denver chose the last QB and the raiders were right behind them. I heard the raiders liked Bowers and with no QB left to possibly sway them I had a feeling they would grab him. We all know it was unlikely Ballard would trade up for him(even if he had him high on his board?)   Kudos for the bears getting a great prospect, I hope they don't mess him up.  And to the Patriots for getting imo the second best QB. The Falcons getting Pence for life after Cousins(which may be sooner than later) I think was a good move.

      I mean, i kinda ma because in year 4 Trey had 13.5 sacks and probably way more pressures than paye has had in year 4.  Paye has one more year to show he can be the pass rusher we need.     and only reason why Trey was being compared to Paye is because someone else brought him.  There is honestly no comparison when it comes to their year 4s

      5 best remaining WR’s according to PFF   WR ADONAI MITCHELL, TEXAS. Mitchell's fluidity and size make him a tough matchup for anyone, especially in the red zone. ...  WR TROY FRANKLIN, OREGON. ...  WR LADD MCCONKEY, GEORGIA. ...  WR KEON COLEMAN, FLORIDA STATE. ...  WR ROMAN WILSON, MICHIGAN.

      Falcons probably drafted Penix because they liked him, more than most other players because of the importance of QB position as well.   Note that They didn't draft JJ McCarthy so it shows Falcons staff definitely had their preference, inclination and liking to his QB play more than anyone else.   I think the thumb rule is if a team likes a QB very much, there are chances it won't happen again sooner in future, and even if they like few QBs in near future they may not be in position to draft the players they love.   So, general rule is always draft a QB if you like and when you can - same with Lions last year, and I hope Vikings did the same this draft.
