Once again, it was completely irresponsible of the coaching staff to let him continue playing when it became apparent that his arm was still bugging him. The game wasn't in doubt and he wasn't helping us with two drops.

 

I agree 100% I got really upset over that.

It seems fairly obvious they (and/or Reggie?) wanted to forcibly continue his 3 catch streak.

So maybe it was Wayne himself that said he was good to go? The coaches gave him the benefit?

Didn't he come back in the game after the injury? It cant be that serious

Adrenaline does crazy things I know I finished a game with a broken wrist then another with a torn rotator cuff . Both times thought I just tweeked something then woke up the next day and new something was very wrong . I hope something like that is not the case and it's just precautionary because Reggie has been our 3rd down receiving rock .

Now, I will be the first to admit that when I heard Reggie was hurt, my heart fell to the pit of my stomach. However, this is the reason why we signed Hakeem Nicks. I know he hasn't shown that he can be a number one receiver so far this season, but I still feel better knowing that we have a guy who has been a number one receiver in the past.

Remember, this guy was arguably a top 5 receiver only two or three years ago. If we can get him playing at the level that he was playing at back then, our offense may be even more explosive. So while I will sit here and wish for Reggies full health, I feel lot better knowing hakeem Nicks is on our team.

When I heard that on chat at my flight layover, I was quite displeased.  I don't know if he aggravated any further because he went back out, but why even risk it?

All of the best players are always good to go... even when they aren't, they'll say they are.  We have physicians and trainers that are qualified to check him out and determine if he should go back out.  Every team member on the Colts have jobs they excel at, including those on the medical team. They all get paid, let them earn their checks too.

Being a good receiver three years ago means nothing. Nicks is in Indianapolis for a paycheck and to live of the success of those around him. There is absolutely no reason for him to see the field any more than Moncrief, and if the staff continue to stick with Hakeem it will be out of concern of upsetting a "big name". He has been absolutely terrible thus far.

    • Yeah, Ebukam almost looks clumsy next to Latu. He's just so fluid.
    • Did Hou actually get that much better? This really does remain to be seen. I am of the opinion that the signing of Diggs is a signing that has been made about 2 years too late. He won't be bad, but he isn't a top 10 WR in the NFL anymore. I wouldn't put him as any more dangerous that Pittman, so WR's are a push. We have the better RB, Mixon is great and all, but he is not JT. We have the better Oline, and it isn't even close. TE's are a push, we have a lot of upside, but until it is realised im very "meh" on our TEs. QB - I would argue that Stroud is probably more likely to regress to the mean in year 2 vs improve. That rookie season of his was a bit silly, and they had an easier schedule last season too. If he really does build on last year and get even better, then our entire discourse here is probably irrelevant as we will have another Mahomes level QB on our hands to deal with in the AFC and within the AFC South no less. So unless Richardson is also a Mahomes level talent in that scenario, we are done for anyways. To me, our success in this coming season comes down to 2 groups on this entire team. 1. The QB (because... duh) 2. Our DBs. If we even get average play from the DBs, I think this team has the ability to win the whole damned thing (supposing Richardson stays healthy and is what we all hope he is). I would also argue that Houston are paper thin. If they lose a OL starter, Mixon or even one of their starting WRs.... they have a very big drop off. And injuries happen in the NFL. Just sayin...
    • If he wasn’t fast enough or athletic enough anymore for linebacker, then he’s not going to be able to cut it at Safety where speed , quickness, athleticism are even more important.    Wish it wasn’t so…. 
    • could he be another bob sanders at that position?
    • Man I love me some Maniac, but it won't happen, and he's too slow after his surgeries.
