DHB at RB (merge)

How many times are we going to have to see him drop a big pass in a need situation with the game on the line?He almost cost us big ,I for one am ready to see Rodgers get his shot.My question is Pagano to stubborn ? I mean the pass hit him right in the numbers.

I know this is far fetched.  It is too bad to waste such talent on a player, but DHB simply cannot catch footballs on a consistent basis.  I remember years ago the Chargers drafted a TE named Rod Bernstein in the first round.  He has a TE bust, but after some years they made him a RB and he was decent.  DHB is build like a RB.  It would be interesting to see if someone gave him a shot to run the ball.  His hand/eye coordination is just off.

My issue with that is he's 6'2". That's really tall for a RB. Most successful RB's are short because they have a lower center of gravity and are harder to see for the defense behind the o-line. Also, being a RB doesn't exempt him from catching. We saw today Chris Johnson was called on to catch a few passes, including an endzone TD, screens, and a pass to the flats.

 

If DHB can't catch a pass that hits him square in the chest, I don't see how he will catch many screen passes.

Just put DHB at CB. That's the old days definition of a CB. "A WR that can't catch"

He runs a 4.2ish so at least we know he won't be burnt too often

I've always liked the option of changing positional players.

Im with you don't see him as a RB at all.

since he catch catch and hold onto a ball,  what makes you think he can handle a handoff and hold onto it?  certainly can't use him in a screen pass.

Just stop with the nonsense. The guy sucks. He isn't a returner, he isn't a rb, he isn't a cb. It is like a good amount of people here started watching football a couple years ago.

He is a bust wr. That is it

Although im inclined to agree with your assessment ,Pagano doesn't see it.My thread was about his drops,its a merged thread now

anyone talking about converting him to anything other than unemployed or on the bench should be banned until they understand football

Once again my thread I started didn't have anything to do with what your reffering to ,it got merged .If you don't like the thread you don't have to comment.Some may not know as much ,but would you like to run them off ?Benching him is exactly my wish.

First of all the name is Rogers. You should drop the d like Heyward-Bey drops passes. If Heyward-Bey sees the field let him run reverses... he seems to be fairly good at that. Rogers has to be in fully next week.

Yes if you do that they would know its coming .

    • Oh contrare, I’d say it says more about Shane Steichen’s skill set as a coach.
    • Excerpt from an article at NFL.com …     ”… One player the Colts can lean on while Richardson gets his sea legs: running back Jonathan Taylor. After last year's hold-in and injury issues, the star running back looks back to his old self. JT bursts through the line like a Mustang on fire, leaving linebackers in his wake. On Sunday, Taylor totaled 12 carries for 103 yards and +55 rushing yards over expected, his most RYOE in a game since Week 15 of 2021. He also forced five missed tackles across 14 touches.    Shane Steichen's decision to bench the star back during the entire fourth quarter because the Colts were in pass mode belies credibility. Even if Taylor isn't a prolific pass catcher out of the backfield, sitting your best offensive weapon for an entire quarter is folly -- hopefully one Steichen doesn't repeat. If defenses are going to sit back to slow Richardson's deep attack, Taylor should gobble up chunk gains.    At this point, Taylor is the most consistent thing going for Indy. The 25-year-old back owns a game-changing gear and can shoulder a massive load. His presence and production should help settle Richardson down during the roller-coaster dips. Taylor hasn't looked fully healthy in a couple of years. He did this past Sunday. The Colts need to ride that stallion.”     The above referenced article kind of echoes my feelings on the matter.    
    • Exactly I am confused with that comment by Shane unless that one drop deserved him to be benched. Again coaches know what's the best. 
    • I'm not sure why the team thinks JT can't be effective in the passing game.
