Does anyone know much about Jeremy Ross? Says he's on our practice squad and is listed at 5-11 213. Did some research on him and it says he ran a 4.37 40-yard dash and had 22 bench reps. BUT hands aren't that good.... This kid seems like a faster stronger Garcon with probably around the same ball skills. Would be cool if colts used him on KR or ST

Punt returner/kick returner doesn't really amount to much on a team that doesn't block down the field. We drafted Brandon James as a kick returner cause he was a beast returner in college...but his strength was after he had room to move and build speed. Something we never gave him. Overall speed isn't as important as overall acceleration when it comes to returning. Until the coaches decide to show the players how to effectively block during returns...I really don't think it matters who's doing the returning since the defenders are already in their face by the time they get the ball. Lefeged has good speed...but never gets a chance to break 1 because the defense is already past the 20 by the time he gets to run. Its very aggravating to see the same problem for 6 games. Its down right ridiculous for the coaching staff to let it go on fo a decade.

Fast guy with pretty good hands, but I would rather have David Gilreath, he's more dynamic, he can run catch, return and break tackles... better than Ross

Gilreath might be the better returner, but the guy is tiny. Ross has a good 40 pounds of muscle on him. I am not saying your wrong but i think in the long run Ross would be better based on strength and durability. But there are some pretty dynamic returners in the NFL who are small so I could be wrong.

Yea, Spoles and Hester comes to mind for me.

Why would you want someone returning kicks whose "hands aren't that good?"

      AFC defensive player of the week?

      By richard pallo · Posted

      Bad analogy.  These rankings come out and can change week to week.  That’s why they do it.  No one scores elite grades every week.  They are number one right now.  The season just started.  Why is that so hard to understand?  I swear.

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Yes, but the element of Richardson running more in the latter quarter also contributed to the Colts ability to run it with success

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Totally agree. Now if Richardson is like throwing below 50% by the end of the season. Then maybe we have a case to worry. I really compare his career to Allen and I think of Richardson as an  Allen on steroids lol. They have very similar physical makeups but Richardson may have a stronger arm and is much faster. Allan has him in the build department.  Allan's rookie season was really rocky and if you look back. It really almost took 2 years till you started to see it. I just think fans need to be very patient as I think Richardson was even more raw than Allen coming out. You see the rawness but I also see the composure and making some good reasons. Yes, he throws picks but all rookie qbs do. Hell, I remember even Luck making the most ridiculous throws that resulted in interceptions. Just sit back and get your popcorn as this is going to be like a roller coaster. I really thought when people said playoffs. I was like.................really??

      The Bears knew exactly what the Colts were going to do on their last drive.   That's what my post was was about.   Maybe you quoted the wrong post?

      Steelers Colts Predictions

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      They are playing a sub par qb, Oline and a running game that averages like 4 yards.  The Bears actually scared me more on offense because at least they have the potential to break it open. Fields is a bad qb (passer) and just keep him in the pocket and make him play qb. Keep everything inside and the defense should be successful. Turnovers and field position is going to be huge in this game. No going for it on 4th down and punt the ball. I think this is going to be an ugly game lol.
