rodgers confirms he will play on sunday

[Stephen]

His friend asked when will you see the field and he said sunday bro tune in.

[Stephen]

This is via twitter.

[Day at the Hilton]

Hope so

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Oh HELL yes

[Colts_Fan12]

I sure hope so I'm ready to see him play with Andrew and gets things rolling unlock that true potential Da'rick

[bestQBever]

finally this guy gets a chance. Hopefully he can prove that he's a future starter on this team.

[Colts_Fan12]

If he can bring the skills he had in college and keep his head on he could be our # 1 WR for the future we can only hope

[BlueCollarColts]

Da'Rick Da'Rick he's our man! If he can't do it no one can! 

[BigQandTheManiac]

if he ends up sucking..ima laugh...and cry

[Narcosys]

Thats good. Glad to finally get to see him in action.

Anything is better than watching DHB dropping catches when even Garcon who had similar issues made an occasional insane catch. I look forward to seeing him on the field, and expect an insane catch... or two in this game. Friends, Colts, countrymen lend Andrew Luck your hands.

Claiming Garçon had similar issues to DHB is a huge insult to Garçon. Garçon did and still does have great hands, his problem was losing concentration which is why he would catch most of the tough catches yet drop some of the really easy ones. DHB on the other hand; has no hands, awful body control, and can't track the ball in the air -- really awful combination for a WR.

 

 

OP: I'm not sure a twit by Da'rick makes it official but I'm a little more hopeful.

 

P.S. Stephen, I'm confident one day you will spell Da'rick Ro(-d)ger's name correctly.

[Colts_Fan12]

Speaking of Garçon I wish we still had him here in Indy

Garcon made the occasional catch he had no business making, but dropped everything else. They are more alike then you are willing admit... only DHB is worse.

Pierre Garcon wanted got offered too much money. If my memory serves me well.

[ColtsLegacy]

He dropped too many, but it's not even close to DHB. Even Donnie Avery had glue for hands compared to DHB.

 

Garçon drop rate

2009 - 7.9

2010 - 16.25

2011 - 6.8

2012 - 10.2

2013 - 9.46

 

DHB

2013 - 23.33

 

Not even close.

 

And to add icing on the cake, DHB drops almost every ball that's contested and those don't count statistically as drops, where as Garçon is very good in traffic.

 

** Numbers from PFF

[Johnny Bui]

I bet Garcon wish he stayed in indy catching passes from Luck rather than RG3 right now lol

[esmort]

Then he looks at his bank account and realizes he is perfectly happy with RG3.

Percentages don't show the real issue at hand. I'd venture to guess that the relatively low number of pass attempts would explain why DHB's is so high... and where are the rest of his numbers? Not to make excuses because the amount of drops for both are too darn high regardless.

[TKnight24]

Y'all stalking the mans Twitter now? Has it become that serious? Bunch of creepers is what you guys are

[LockeDown]

Hold onto your records, Jerry Rice. DaRick is beginning his assault.

[swflacoltsfans]

Is it too late to get him on this years hall of fame ballot?

[Indygal1218]

Simma down now! Have some apple juice.

[oldunclemark]

I thought y'all meant Aaron Rodgers

[Cynjin]

Inb4 Rob Lowe.

[Warhawk]

I'm cautiously optimistic.

[SteelCityColt]

I'm cautiously optimistic.

 

I'm optimistically cautious. 

[CjMcGirt23]

Sorry to burst your guys bubbles but Da'Rick Rogers doesn't have a twitter lol. The one this is referenced off of is ran by some random person.

[NagelHausForge]

***Sigh***

[Rob Lowe]

I'm cautiously optimistic.

Oh, it's time!! It's Da'Time for Da'Rick to do that thing

[NewEra]

Actually pretty excited. Unlike others "Roy hall" Rogers has actually shown something in college at least. He playing for his life, for his future. So time to put that knuckle head stuff behind you and go out and make your $$

[Rob Lowe]

I guarantee you he'll prove himself immediately

[Valpo2004]

I don't expect him to but I hope he goes out there and does well.

 

Make the coaches have to keep you on the field.  

[ColtsBlueFL]

He was released from Tennessee and went to Tennessee Tech, of course he dominated there.  He has measurables and talent for sure, but I hope he's improved both his attitude and skills in these areas-

 

" Stops his route at times if not the primary target. Body language on the field can be defeating. Lacks great explosiveness to run by corners, no extra gear. Will struggle to track the football at times. Not a very instinctual receiver, doesn't always run the routes he should, doesn't fight to get open when the play breaks down."

Where did that scouting report come from? That makes the kid sound horrible if correct.

You can't hang him totally out to dry....put his strengths in there too: 

 

STRENGTHS

 Physical specimen with power and strength. Works very well over the middle, and is extremely difficult to bring down after the catch. Gets off the line well for a player of his size. Shows flexibility in adjusting to the football, making difficult catches, and getting out of his routes. Uses his body to shield defenders from making a play on the football. Smooth, with good body control when going up for the football. Strong hands allow him to grab low and wide passes adeptly. Physical run blocker when engaged, will sustain through the play.

Yeah, I've seen that.

Reports since he's joined the Colts are that he's been really applying himself though. He wouldn't be the first player to join the Pagano-led Colts and develop a strong work ethic (see, e.g., Davis, Vontae, "How I Shut Down Demaryius Thomas", 3 Rec.fr.Yds 51 (Clt. Def. 2013).)

That's just one take, and I mentioned he has talent and measurables. But this could also explain why kid wasn't rushed to the lineup either. I'm just hoping he's better in these areas, that's all.  I don't expect him to be reggie wayne, but hoping for better than DHB production.

Oh no. Its only just begun for these guys
