Its possible we let brown walk and go after cj2k. I suppose it'd depend on how much money he would want, but hes lightning in space. I wouldn't be surprised if we took a chance, even at his worst hes never had less than 1000 yards in a season. Cj trent and ballard, with rainey returning kicks?

I'm thinking he will be very expensive. But who knows really.

Just NO NO NO Rainey would get past the 20 Reed was lucky to make it to the 10 yard line . HE just didn't make people miss or hesitated to long and had no chance .

What were their respective averages?

Plus Reed didn'tuff punts in back to back games. Ball security is worth more than anything.

2 muffed punts. And I believe worse average yardage but I would have to check that.

It's all relative. For whatever reason our blocking on punts and kick returns has always been pitiful.

 

I only noticed one yesterday. Was there one against the Titans that I missed?

 

I think Rainey returned the ball better than Reed, didn't get stopped much before the 20. Even the missed catch yesterday was after the 20 I believe?

He muffed one against the Titans last week. I think in the third quarter but I could be wrong on the timing.

The punt he muffed yesterday cost us about 20 yards. And he seemed like he struggled to track the ball yesterday.

I agree Rainey came out with more energy, but it's not like he was doing a drastically better job than Reed IMO.

The blocking and scheming seems to be the problem really.

injures just keep pilling up it is frustrating but Ryan Grigson has done a good job finding cheap replacements. you can say all you want about Richardson but he was drafted 3rd overall for a reason he will have a breakout game before the year is over. Richardson was not a cheap replacement but it was a good trade.

No. I'm saying he out the ball on the turf twice in two games. I know who returned punts prior to the Rainey acquisition. But people are acting like he was head and shoulders better than Reed. But if Reed muffed two returns people would have been calling for his head even more than they were. I don't trust guys who can't hang on to the ball.

What are the averages for the two men returning for us?

That explains it. I missed the Titans game, unfortunately.

 

Maybe Irsay sent him for lashes. Now he's on IR. :peek:

Colts placed RB/KR Chris Rainey on injured reserve with a broken leg, ending his season.



Rainey suffered the injury in Sunday's Week 14 loss at Cincy. During three weeks with the Colts, the speedster returned four punts for 29 yards and six kickoffs for 131 yards. Rainey did not see a single touch from scrimmage.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By twfish · Posted

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
