[Speculation] Welcome to Indy Ben Tate?

[Dustin]

Browns just cut him. I'll be shocked if Grigs doesn't try to sign him. With AB being out and all.

[The Fish]

Maybe- but why did the Brownies cut him?

[Cynjin]

Interesting.

[IndyD4U]

I just came here to make this thread!

 

I would say there is a pretty good chance!

 

Tate would be an upgrade for sure

[dudeski]

Why not

[tfunky14]

When did the Browns cut him?   Link please...No false reporting please...

[PrincetonTiger]

The roadblock for me would be the reasoning for his release

[PrincetonTiger]

Maybe- but why did the Brownies cut him?

That would be key

[SteelCityColt]

Interesting if true... can't find any confirmation at the moment. I liked him when he was with the Texans.. but then again he had the Texans O-line while he was there. 

 

Though it's concerning that he was cut, there has to be something not good behind it. 

[tfunky14]

Never mind just read it 

[Old Colt]

They do have 3 solid RB's, including Tate,  with AB out, it would surely be worth the discussion.  He likely won't be out there long......

[Dustin]

The Browns released running back Ben Tate this morning.

He wouldn't be able to learn the playbook in this short of time.

[PrincetonTiger]

To give more carries to Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West according to ESPN

[PrincetonTiger]

Bring him in

Here is confirmation

[IndyD4U]

Maybe- but why did the Brownies cut him?

 

More than likely because he publicly said that he wasn't happy with his lesser role 

[PrincetonTiger]

According to what I read Crowell and West had more of Pettiness wanted in a RB

[Slick_Rick]

I'd take a flyer on the guy. He was good with the Texans. Anything that is going to take some of the load from Rich is a good thing.

[PrincetonTiger]

More than likely because he publicly said that he wasn't happy with his lesser role

Not sure I blame him

[PrincetonTiger]

I'd take a flyer on the guy. He was good with the Texans. Anything that is going to take some of the load from Rich is a good thing.

Agreed

[Just_IN_3D]

Bad Luck Browns Look at T Rich doesn't do much for us. No more Browns running backs..

[Coffeedrinker]

They are probably just going to bring Zurlon up from the practice squad and go with TRich and Boom.

[James Harden]

Isn't one running back from the Browns not enough? We can't just keep picking up garbage from the Browns unless it Manziel or Gordon

[antipatriot]

We dont really have anything to lose by picking him up but we could gain a lot if it worked out.

[backshoulderfade]

Isn't one running back from the Browns not enough? We can't just keep picking up garbage from the Browns unless it Manziel or Gordon

Why would we ever pick up Manziel?

[Shive]

If I remember correctly, Tate excelled in the Texans' zone blocking scheme, so I don't know how he'd do with our scheme.

[John Waylon]

I'm all for it.

But if he isn't happy with his role in Cleveland, he won't be happy here either, so...

[GoColts8818]

Id atleast kick the tires.

[scousecolt]

Tate is better than T Rich, we all know that much. I'd take him.

[PrincetonTiger]

Not sure it is going to happen

The Colts are prepared to sign Cribbs

[ColtsFanMikeC]

I agree -- Z. Tipton was on our 53 man roster way early on in the season and got moved to the P.S. when some injuries forced us to alter the initial 53.  I think our staff is high on him, and personally I think he'll be fine in the system.  His biggest concern, IMO, is staying healthy but he is a bruiser with some speed, I think he fits right in.

[RockThatBlue]

I say no. He was terrible with the browns.

[Mitch Connors]

Tate is better than T Rich, we all know that much. I'd take him.

You sure about that? Name one texans running back that hasn't been good for the texans in the last few years. Either they have great blocking or they are amazing at finding talent nobody else sees at that spot.

[Indycrazy1287]

Why would we ever pick up Manziel?

We would never ever ever need manziel, nor want him. I don't even know why he would say that hahah

[RockThatBlue]

Tate is better than T Rich, we all know that much. I'd take him.

Tate had -9 rushing yards last week. Just saying.

[Dustin]

Tate had -9 rushing yards last week. Just saying.

That's only 9 less than Trent had.

[RockThatBlue]

That's only 9 less than Trent had.

I know lol, but hes not very good either. I'd rather bring up Tipton from the PS. Thought he looked good in preseason.

[James Harden]

Why would we ever pick up Manziel?

Maybe because Hassleback will retire next year and we could pick him up on the fly...ooo one thought for Tim Tebow to be Luck backup is better.

He won't get a chance to show his skills if he doesn't have a more mentally tough offensive line to block for him.
