Ryan Muhaffey suffered a concussion or had concussion like symptoms last game, so I guess he's pretty badly hurt, hurt enough for us to sign another FB. Jerome Felton has been in the league for a couple of years, and he's been pretty good. A nice pickup. Any thoughts?

Is he a FB or a RB? He is listed as both.

Big halfback in college and he plays like it, but he's been used as an NFL fullback.. He's not much of a blocker and doesn't appear to want to be. I was a big fan of him as a prospect (as very few might remember from the old board), but I don't think he's going to be a fullback like Mahaffey. He's more of a ball carrier, which won't do the Colts many favors, though he could be a good safety valve for Painter.

If they wanted a blocker, I think there are several free agents out there who can fill the role fine. I hope they want to try him in the singleback, which is where he still has upside. His best fit looks to be halfback, if he has a fit at all.

Felton is an ok blocker, he'll get it done... i like him for his speed as a FB, he could bring more options to the colts like sending the FB out to catch a pass or running the ball on 3rd downs.. guess we'll just have to see what happens.

he sounds good to work with brown, new colts smash mouth football

Lol, my brothers graduating high school and is a fullback/running back.. darn good too. Offensive player of the year. 6'0 235 lbs of pure muscle, speed and strength. And on the flip plays middle linebacker. heck, the colts might as well pick him up. Couldnt do any worse.

Once he makes it to the NFL, remember all of us are his family at Colts.com and would love to have him support us anyway we can (I think I typed that wrong...)

That very well could happen, i think the colts might as well start pulling out some good ole running plays... start going run heavy in games cause we all know they arent gonna put a whole lot of points on the board by passing.

      The Colts are not Extending Ryan Kelly for now

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      To me, it’s also a non- story, but for a different reason.     Because Ryan Kelly, classy guy that he is, has chosen to make it a non-story.  No complaining.  No running to the media to try to generate sympathy.   No hold out OR hold in where you show up but tell the team you won’t practice without a new contract.   He could’ve done any of them.  He chose to do none of them.     I think Kelly is a classy guy.  easy to see why he’s voted a team captain, and I think the union rep.  I also think the Colts under Ballard are filled with classy guys who are easy to root for.  Honestly, it one of the biggest reasons I’ve stuck around since Luck retired.  It’s a fun team to cheer for.    So I like the team, the coaches,  the front office, the owner and the city.   Hope to make it to Indy one day to meet as many of you as I can.

      No worries.   Wasn’t making fun of you.  If I had one dollar for every brain cramp moment I’ve posted here, I’d be rich!      It’s all good.

      I'm very interested in Carlie's as well.  I'm just not sold on our starting LB core.

      I also forgot to say I think Buffalo will also have a down year.

      Yeah North.....maybe I got confused about the Pittsburgh Pirates playing in the central.  But I think before realignment there were only 3 divisions, I think.. Like the Colts and Dolphins played in the East, the Raiders and Broncos played in the West and the Steelers and Brownies played in the Central.  But yeah my mistake the Steelers currently in the North division.
