Nobody Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2229364-branden-oliver-forging-unique-identity-as-versatile-weapon-for-chargers Well that's a kick in the nads. My fantasy team did appreciate his 18 points, however. If you don't know Oliver, you will soon, the man is a stud. Chargers fans call him Sprolebert as a throwback to a couple of pretty good Charger backs. I found it interesting and sad he was first signed by us.

B~Town Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 That sucks why was he let go that kid is better than any back we have and I really like Bradshaw and like the way TRich is coming around even Boom has some promise . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTC Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I don't think Colts ever signed him, he was a tryout in the rookie FA camp, but never signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably would have stayed if we didn't have Rainey. Also I think even Vick Ballard was healthy at the time. We just had too many backs for him to stay.

krunk Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 He had a workout but was never signed I don't see anywhere where it says it was a workout. A workout in the sense of some of these guys that workout during the season but never sign. I distinctly remember his name on the list of UDFA that we signed after the draft.

Gavin Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yeah Oliver is having a good year but Bradshaw has been even better for us, Plus if Ballard was healthy we would have two productive Backs. Hopefully Ballard returns healthy and strong enough to make a big impact next year, Unfortunately I am not banking on the Ballard back to full strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollygagger8 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Telesco loves Grigson's cast aways. Oh, and Lawrence Guy should've been kept. I'm still a fan of that "guy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradshaw has to be paced to prevent injury. I'd rather have Oliver at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Waylon Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Meh. It is what it is. I don't think he's the beast he's being made out to be anyways. He's just a guy stepping up, and things are going his way at the moment. I'm of the firm belief that it will pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indianapolis-Colts-Fan Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Just because he is running well for the chargers right now doesn't mean he would be having the same success here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
