You do realize Havili is one of our BEST blockers right?

Once again you're trying to predict what's going on. You don't think Pep knows how to use weapons? He had a merry go-round of RB's at Stanford. I believe he knows how to rotate people in the line-up

We'll be perfectly fine on offense. And some of you are getting ahead of yourself, you have NO IDEA how well these players coming off injuries will even play

He never had this kind of talent @ wr and te. Last yr, they forced too many of those rinning formations. We need to accept being a pass first team and not wait till we're behind dbl digits.

And who cares abou Havili's blocking. Allen is a good blocker when healthy

I think its time to ditch the fullback thing and make Allen an H Back. 2 TEs that need to play. 5 solid WRs. Im including DaRick. Only trouble spots could be the rb position. And Center

I just think the 3 best wr should be on the field as much as possible

Allen has been labeled the HB already, exclusively in Arians offense.

Allen is better than Havili..

"Allen is a good blocker when healthy"

You just proved my point. How do you know what he'll be like this season? And the way we have troubles with blocking, we need blockers so Havili needs to stay

I know everyone loves Da'Rick and Griff and LaVon... but they are all UNPROVEN young guys. We can't count on them to improve when they have hardly played! None of them were ever really a vocal point of our offense at any point. Hakeem Nicks, T.Y. Hilton, and Reggie are going to get most of the receptions and yards at our receiving spots

 haha! Actually we can count on them to improve. In Rogers and Brazills case, they have a good ways to go, therefore Nicks.

Yes, you are right, they have shown nothing but utter incompetence on this staff!

You might want to submit your resume they surely could use some PROFESSIONAL  help.

For this coaching staff. The same staff that put DHB on the field over TY Hilton. And the same staff that kept forcing an inept run gm

 

There are reasons for both....  

 

And this is the same coaching staff that converted the offense on the fly during the season.    It is incredibly hard to change an offense in the middle of a season,  but Pep did a great job with it.

 

As to your overall point about Havili and the roster....   I have faith that Chud will help sorts things out on offense.    I think Chud will iron out some of the wrinkles that are not helping us.....

 

If it means Havili goes,  then he goes.    But, if he stays,  then Chud has signed off on it and it's OK by me....

 

If you don't have faith in Pep -- then, fine -- but if not,  then you should have faith in Chud.   He has an outstanding offensive reputation.    So, our offense should be considerably better this year.

Oh stop it; you're only sticking up for Pep cause you're a Stanford guy ;) haha

"Never a vocal point of our offense at any point"

Did you watch the Chiefs game at Kansas City?

Rogers was a very big part in that game. A few catches & even burnt Sean Smith I think and made the CB grab him for an obvious PI or Holding call. Couldn't remember which one they called.

But anyway, Rogers is very raw yes but he was a big part sometimes & made big plays (catch in the Kansas city playoff game)

And another thing, don't act like Griff Whalen wasn't balling in Kansas City either

Havili is not a good blocker at all...

Sticking up for Pep?     Re-read my post!     I'm putting most of my faith in Chud, not Pep.

 

In fact, I thought it was getting pretty obvious how skeptical I am over Pep.   Have been since we announced he got hired.   I've said over and over that I'm very "Missouri" on Pep.   He's got to show me more.

 

I'd give his first year about a "B"...   but I expect more this year....

 

I'll give Pep some love for converting the offense on the fly last year....    that was impressive.    But I feel better for our offense this year with Chud over-seeing things....   I think he'll be a huge help....

With a deeper roster Havili`s spot may get to valuable to keep him. Our 3rd TE Jack Doyle was also coming along ok and being used in some HB situations.

 

you all fail

 

half back= running back/tailback/3back

 

or am i misunderstanding you? (honest question)

 

i dont think were going to put out TE in at the HB position to run the ball, maybe the FB, 2 positon to block

I want my TE coming off of the line..particularly Allen who blocks like a lineman.  I prefer no FB and block your man

 

Fleener can line up outside at times.  I envision a fast paced offense that we thought we would have last year....more West Coast than run, run run...punt.

 

With this year's team and a couple of changes on the OL....my goal would be to get it across the 50 every time.  Enter AV and if ahead a long Patty Mac try...

 

OK...I am getting a little too excited :)  This has been a fun week Colt Fans!!! :colts:  :colts:  :colts:  :coltslogo:  :coltslogo:  :coltslogo:  :coltshelmet:  :coltshelmet:  :coltshelmet:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its called H-Back.. look it up and learn something before you make yourself look like a fool. It has nothing to do with the running back position.

Meh, Havili isn't a good blocker. He can be at times but he's inconsistent all around. Maybe one of our best blockers but we only really have one guy who competes for that title, Allen (who of course wins out as one of the best run blockers in the game)

The entire team is inconsistent! Havili is a good blocker & bottom line he isn't going anywhere. Why would we line Allen up in the backfield? Might as well just run the Alabama style offense with NO FB if we're gonna come down to Allen being in the backfield

We have a 2 headed monster at TE. They either need to line-up side by side or let Allen be on the line and Fleener flexed out in the slot. Or vice versa.

But if they let Havili go I guess we'll all have to deal with it. I personally feel he isn't going anywhere but we'll see I guess

Allen lined up in the FB position a good handful of times in Arians offense.. He plays the H-back role and at times(minimal over the course of the season) will be lined up there.

i had a coach who always called the running back h back in junior high he talked funny and couldnt say half without spitting everywhere, i always assumed it was short for half back thats why i put myself out there and said i maybe misunderstanding which i thought i was

IMO, the addition of Chud means the Colts are not sold on Pep as OC. Last year was not an easy year to be the OC, with so many injuries to key people. This year will be the year to have this question answered.

Or they just want a veteran to give Pep pointers from time to time

Pep called a near perfect game vs San Francisco.

And after the Denver game, everything went downhill. But you could tell after the 49ers game Pep was starting to get it

Cause Arians runs a spread offense. At Clemson he lined up in the backfield too cause that's a spread offense. We're a west coast (no coast according to coaches) offense. I don't think a TE would be in our backfield unless Havili gets injured.

Arians runs a spread?    Really?

 

Was he running a spread when he was with Indy?    When he was with Pittsburgh?

 

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing.........................

The staff wanted to develop DHB, plus hes a better blocker than TY.

The run game, yea, I agree was kind of a mess, but they figred it out.

They learned a lot last year. Remember it was Chucks first whole year as coach and Peps first year as a coordinator. They are gonna be just fine.

The simple premise of "We have too much talent" makes me want to punch a baby. Its like saying you have too much money. "how much do you need? The answer is MORE."

If we address center with a good player, than this is the best Colts team in probably 8 years.

Sooo Andrew wasn't in shotgun 80%+ of the time? That's a spread offense. He was throwing the ball 40+ times a game. At least 30 of the throws were from the shotgun

    • Wilt dominated Bill Russell when they played, what Boston fans don't comprehend for some reason is, the Celtics had all the best players on their team other than players like West, Baylor, and Robertson. Outside of that the league had a bunch of MEH players back then except on Boston. Boston had Cousy, Havlicek, Sam Jones, Tom Heinsohn and KC Jones besides Russell. Russell could get away with playing a bad game on occasion and Havlicek or Sam Jones or even Heinsohn could go for 25 and they would still win. Cousy wasn't a great shooter but was a great Assist guy and would just run that team like a great QB does.   Bill Simmons has Bill Russell as the 2nd greatest player ever, that is what ruins his list and I agree with a lot of his rankings. Loved his book and love his knowledge on ranking players but his Russell ranking is simply because he is from Boston. No way in hell is Bill Russell the 2nd greatest player of all-time. He had too many offensive deficiencies to be that. To me Larry Bird was the better player compared to Bill Russell.    Simmons top 10 updated: 1. Michael Jordan 2. Bill Russell 3. LeBron James 4. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 5. Magic Johnson 6. Larry Bird 7. Wilt Chamberlain  8. Tim Duncan 9. Kobe Bryant  10. Jerry West   Mine is: 1. Michael Jordan (we agree)   2. Magic Johnson   3. LeBron James (we agree)   4. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (we agree)   5. Kobe Bryant   6. Larry Bird (we agree)   7. Wilt Chamberlain (we agree)   8. Steph Curry - Bill has Curry 15th.   9. Shaq O'Neal - Bill has Shaq 13th.   10. Bill Russell - yes, he makes my top 10, great defensive player, great rebounder, a good scorer but not a dominant scorer and a winner. His 11 championships can be viewed in a lot of different ways compared to how players won theirs in the 80's-up until now. 11 is 11 though so a top 10 list without him would not like right.   He had West and Duncan in his top 10 - I don't. I have Shaq and Curry instead. To me Shaq was more dominant at his peak than Duncan was, and Curry changed the game with his 3-point shooting. Shaq is the only player in NBA history other than Michael Jordan to win 3 straight Finals MVP's (2000-2002), he has to be top 10. I never thought I would see a better shooter than Reggie Miller, then Steph entered the building. Steph also does have 4 championships, a Finals MVP, and 2 League MVP's + he has the most 3 pointers made in NBA history.
    • Caitlin Clark 1 Angel Reese 0. Fever beat Sky 71-70. You lose Angel Reese. 
    • I'm all for doubling down and going EDGE in the 1st again. Just got to make sure we get the right one. Depending on where we draft, I'm okay with trading up a couple of picks to snatch the better pass rusher of the bunch. Since there will be a good amount of rushers, I hear, let's go get the better one. I can also see the draft being the opposite as this years. Most teams will go defense now in this draft, and very good offensive players fall. I think we are perfect on offense, that's why I'm okay with trading up to get the guy we need on defense.
    • IMHO , its all about perspective   If you treat Pierce as WR1, you will be disappointed   If you treat Pierce as a solid contributor, you will be pleased   - The man can block, maybe the best blocking WR on this team - The man has speed - The man can rotate in with our other WRs   I do believe that AD Mitchell will take over as a starting outside WR   The reality is, 17 games is a LONG season,    Pittman and AD Mitchell will be "fresher" for the end of the game as they are rotated in and out   The odds say that there will be injuries, and we could see Pierce be a starter on either side   I for one, WANT to keep Pierce thru his rookie deal (We will see after that)
