just in case anyone misses donald brown


CR91

Recommended Posts

I don't believe in slamming former INDY teammates. I am appreciative of his contributions for the Colts, liked how well he ran for us in his final season here, & I have no desire to see him in a blue uniform again. 

 

Just like safety Bob Sanders, RB Donald Brown had his moments inside LOS but we need to seriously move on now. I'm satisfied with Bradshaw & TR had a decent game vs the Jags. We're fine & I have turned the page.

 

What can Brown do for you? Nothing. Unless your asking me if I'm happy with my UPS shipping company. Yes, I am.

Donald Brown is an average back I am interested to see what Oliver from Buffalo can do and they play the Jags this weekend. Brown will be the pickup of the week in fantasy. SD needs to sign someone isn't Matthews gone 4 more weeks at least with the MCL?  

 

Trent's looked good send him that way for Attachou?

 

My bet is they grab Kerwynn Williams from the Cardinals PS I always liked him would like to see him set a chance to play.

They went with Shaun Draughn another former Colt I would have thought Williams would get the nod for KR duties alone. They can't let Brown continue to return kicks if he is the starting running back.....

 

Williams was fast thought he'd fit that Woodhead role well and was there for training camp. His fastest 40 time was a 4.36 I always liked him Arians didn't forget that 40 time.

OP - rather weak, lame post.  The jury is still well out on this one.  You could be right in the end, but we won't know for a while yet.

 

Donald wasn't picked up to be our #1 back.  He hasn't had much opportunity prior to last week and that game isn't going to be a good comparison.  After losing 50% of our run game in Danny Woodhead it made us a very one dimensional.  Branden Oliver is a rookie and for what ever reason the coaches didn't want to use him unless needed.  AND Donald did what was the goal, run the clock down and don't lose the ball.  The coaches will add in plays for whom we have remaining and then we'll be able to see better how we'll do.  

 

No doubt about it, you can't lose two excellent backs like Mathews and Woodhead and not suffer. 

 

We lost Hardwick, our center and our OL QB - big deal loss, but we also lost Jeromy Clary RG who was a tough veteran.  In addition to Mathews and Manti T'eo being out for weeks, we've got 6 on IR, 1 PUP and 1 IR to return. We can't keep losing starters at this rate and keep up the level of play.

he got 31 carries and got an amazing 62 yards. yea we should have kept him alright

So what's your point? You going to use one game to throw out numbers? I haven't seen any one saying we should have kept him. Jus a reference as his average yards per carry. Most of that was due to the fact that he ran out of different formations and also had a lot of end a rounds. He never achieved what was expected out of him.

and five receptions and no fumbels..in a road win..

Donald Brown will always be there when you need him.

Watch this week..wish we (the Colts) still had him

I wish Brown well, but I don't think he'll be missed. He'd be in Herrons role now, only much more expensive.

    • And there is no issue having (2) big Guard contracts if your (2) Tackles are on rookie deals.     I'm not sure why so many doubters of the possibility, never seem to correlate it with common NFL practices, of tackles moving inside later in their career, to extend it.     Everyone just wants to be right about something, instead of looking objectively at it.     If Sparano thinks: Raimann, Nelson, Kelly, Smith, Freeland/ or Goncalves    Is better than: Raimann, Nelson, Kelly, Fries, Smith     They will do it.   Also got Bortolini in there trying to battle for a spot.
    • Ouch. Didn’t expect a sweep, but I’m also not surprised by it. Boston is the best of the bunch. Have been all year. The only way the West has a chance in the finals is to combine the two teams left into super teams to beat them. And even then, Boston still has a real good chance.    All I can say is the future is bright and it’s fun to be a fan again. I’m still too sports emotionally drained from watching my favorite driver lose the 500 out of T3 coming to the checkers with my own eyes to go through a postmortem on the Pacers yet. 😵‍💫  
    • Should of called a timeout in game 3 on the last possession.     Carlisle deserves a lot of blame as well. Bad rotations, bad challenge usage, no timeouts when needed.     All in all is was a good year, but the more I think about the missed opportunity this year ended up being, it's a little rough.   We had a legit chance at a championship at this point of the playoffs and outplayed them in 3 of the 4 games for 47 minutes.     Just hope to return this deep in the playoffs again soon, it's never a given.
    • The idea that Smith could be a guard didn't originate with the fans at all. Smith was a guard in college, and Ballard viewed him as a guard prospect when they drafted him. The Colts had an opening at RT in 2018, and early in the season, they put Smith into the lineup at RT, and kept him there.    That was a long time ago, and Smith has proven himself as a really good RT. His athleticism and technical ability have mostly compensated for his lack of length on the outside. But it's common for NFL tackles to move inside as they get older and their athleticism drops a notch.   I personally think guard play is just as important as tackle play, and RG is the weakest spot on the OL right now, so I have no problem with the idea of moving Smith inside, even if he's still performing well at RT. If -- IF -- it would improve the overall line play, it should be considered. The question is whether Smith would be an improvement at RG (I think he would), and whether we have a RT candidate who can take Smith's place without a significant drop off (I don't think we do, not yet).    Acting like Colts fans just came up with this idea is revisionist. The Colts viewed Smith as a guard when they drafted him, and it's common for OTs to move inside. I'm not obsessed with the idea, but it's also not entirely wild-eyed.
