Trent

I don't mean to start the same old topics but with the exception of a couple of runs, trent looked good in space and broke off some of his best runs all season. He got involved in the passing game more today and looked comfortable running making guys miss. Looked a little more fresh and wasn't going down with simple arm tackles today

He can catch the ball and make a great play. But he cannot run the ball after the line of scrimmage. He did okay today.

Once again we had no run blocking and the ONE time we did he broke it for like 8 or 10 yards. The O-Line is the problem. Although TRich had a terrible missed block today.

Trent is not the problem. The coaches are. Get rid of all the coaches and the team will be fine.

 

 

lol ok, the coaches are forcing him to run into the back of defenders. They are making him miss blocks in pass pro. Come on man, get real. The coaches benched him for Brown who has played well. I'd say that's good coaching, just because the GM messed up, doesn't mean he has to play.

Have you made one post on this forum that wasn't in some way bashing TRich?

Trent, is not the problem he still 8s recovering for the knee scope early in the season takes a yr to get get explosion bsck

i have been kinda thinking something like this.   I would not be surprised at all if when the season is over, we hear that TRich was playing through an injury.

I like to bash Trent, and think we paid way too much for him, but he did okay in Cincy.  I like the thought of getting him more involved in the passing game.

Why do you enjoy bashing TR? I didn't like the trade, but I still hope he has success. It's not his fault Grigson gave up a 1 for him.

Ill just say it. Like all his catches besides 1 or 2(?) came in complete garbage time check-down routes, where he just ran a curl route 9 yards deep and stood there wide open. also he screwed Luck on 1 blitz pickup that I recall. 

 

with that said, Brown was bad as well(worse actually minus the missed block by trent). None of the rbs got a chance to run, as we (once again) found ourselves in a early deficit caused by poor offense on our side, and long drives on the BungHoles side.

Trent looked good on Sunday people just needed to give him time to get used to our offense.

 

 

 

He looked good catching the ball...too bad he's not a WR instead of a RB, which he has still utterly sucked at. The truth is the truth, there isn't any sense in sugar coating it.

I'm tired of this topic as well, but we unstickied the Trent thread, so it's fair game at the moment. We'll see how it goes.

Probably Gould resticky till the off-season IMO.

But I will say that he did look better when he was in space. I really don't wanna look at the stats because a lot of the yards he got through the air came on that last drive where he was wide open underneath for about 10 yards a play.

He's improving but still has quite a bit of work to do in terms of running the ball. I'm tempering expectations till next season.

For the love of god stop the nonsense with trent. He is a nobody until he consistently puts up 20+carries/100+yards and finds the endzone more than from the half yard line. Its just [mod edit] listening to people praise him for one or two 6yard runs instead of the normal -2 yard runs.

Nah hes just a blatant troll. All of his posts have some type of over the top, negative hyperbole to get a rise. Im honestly not sure how he hasnt been banned yet.

A minor knee scope isn't going to slow you down this far into the season.

ok, "minor" could be what they threw out there but any surgery is gonna have and effect, u just dont know and trent is facing a up hill battle, the oline cant run block , the play calling is predictable not to mention the full back is not really that good at paving the way,

What absolute drivel and with a juvenile, ridiculous use of a really unnescessary term. I would think you can do better but this is pretty much par for your course.

    • Personally I think Thomas got pressed into playing before his time. He did a few things we didn't expect initially considering his draft position. I think ideally they wanted to take their time and train him up sorta like EJ Speed then get him out there.  I'm interested to see how he regroups to be honest.
    • How bout this? Draft better and u build a play off caliber team. Ain't rocket science. 
    • Look im not gonna say Ballard haven't had his own issues, but the guy has been put in an impossible position particularly every year.   2017 - He has a lame duck for a head coach when we all knew was gonna get fired and was drafting for his scheme so I'll give him a pass.   2018 - Arguably his best draft getting two All-pros and a stalwart at RT. He gets to sign his choice of a head coach and is left at the alter at the 11th hour which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Drafted Tyquan Lewis, Hines, and Franklin who all have or had great years here. Andrew Luck was back and playing like an MVP.   2019 - Horrible draft. No excuses. It was his worst draft as a GM, but he did find a gem in Speed. Luck retiring a week before the season starts would put any GM in a tough spot so once again I'll give him a pass.   2020 - His second best draft getting Pittman, Taylor, and Blackmon. Signed Rivers and traded for Buckner and won 11 games. Unfortunately lost to the Bills in the playoffs.   2021 - I honestly can't tell for certain what happened in terms of QB. Ive heard Rivers was supposed to re-sign, but choice to retire. I've heard he was pushed to retirement as the colts wanted to go in a different direction which was apparently Stafford before the Rams came in last second. I heard Reich pushed hard for Wentz saying he can fix him against the wishes of Ballard. If you ask me, I think Stafford was plan A as Stafford himself said him and his wife were so convinced he was going to Indy that they started looking at homes. When that fell through, imo Reich lobbied for Wentz. Whatever it was, Wentz was the guy and the QB carousal was supposedly stopped at least we thought. A god-like season for Taylor was not enough to save Wentz from ultimately being traded and you can chalk that one on whomever Reich or Ballard depending on what story you want to believe. In terms of the draft, Paye and Dayo have been reliable players on the dline, Granson you can make an argument is our best TE, and Fries came into his own last year.   2022 - Just an overall disaster of a season. Went the bandage route again at QB trading for Matt Ryan and you can say the colts did him no favors in terms of oline protection and JT getting hurt, but that was a failed trade for a miserable season. 2022 draft is still under elevation, but Pierce and Woods did show potential as rookies and Raimann looks to be the LT of the future.   2023 - Ballard finally gets to draft a QB to tether him to and Richardson plays a grand total of 12 quarters. It just seems like Ballard can not catch a break when it comes to QBs, but from I've seen from Richardson, I have very high expectations.
    • Hi Colts fans,   Yeah, I know, I know.  I was just as surprised as you were.  No clue why my good friend Jim Irsay would call me up and offer me the head coaching job.  I had to remind him.  Dude, I said, you do know that I've never coached at all at the NFL level.  Not coordinator.  Not even position coach.  Nothing.  It didn't seem to matter.  It was as if all that was required was for me to be good friends with the owner, and -- bazinga! -- I could be a head coach.   It was awkward, you know.  That first coaches meeting.  There was Gus Bradley.  And there was John Fox.  Both of them had been head coaches.  Heck, both of them had coached in a Super Bowl!  Yet here I was, promoted to be their boss, having never coached before.  Ever.   But, you know, Bud Grant did it.  So, why not?  Remember, I have a way of doing things.   Ok, sorry, I couldn't help but giggle.  I have a way of doing... what, exactly?  Things?  Things like coaching?  I have a way of coaching?  And how did I develop that way?  By actually, you know, coaching?   Anyway, I'm glad you have a new head coach.  One who has actually coached before.  And his experience doing that is bearing fruit.  I'm just glad I'm already in the Ring of Honor.  Because after what happened, I doubt that I would ever be accepted in by the fans, regardless of how I was as a player.  Heck, they would have put Andrew Luck in before they would even consider me.   In the meantime, I'm back at ESPN, attempting to "un-burn" bridges.  It can happen.  I heard Bud Grant did that once....   Regards, Jeff Saturday
    • We certainly have options as both DB draftees started at FS as well as CB in college. Perhaps Thomas ‘could’ revert back to CB as well?
