[Speculation] Welcome to Indy Ben Tate?

[krunk]

I've never been all that high on Ben Tate.  I've never seen him do anything against the Colts and I wasn't impressed with him last year either.  I don't think he brings much more of an upgrade than any of the guys we already have.  I'm cool with Tipton who is big, young, and hungry.  I would like to see what he has. He and Boom Herron.

I read that Raiders and Ravens are interested in Ben Tate as well.

Yeah, I wouldnt be upset if we lost Ben Tate. I like Zurlon Tipton in preseason and I think he can do well.

Those 2 hall of famers had very poor lines at times and still produced due to the type of backs they were. Tate is not the 2nd coming of them.

It wasn't meant to say HE is the second coming of them.......but rather if the colts had someone with that much talent behind a line that only pass blocks (and not all that great either) they wouldn't be producing either. T-Rich is a good RB, I think, but he just needs to have a little help to get more space. The Colts O-line gets bullied around and is never a group of the same guys for more than 2 weeks at a time due to injuries or poor play or whatever, fix the line and then evaluate where the RB situation is.

[TKnight24]

I think that the talent is there, but the coaching isn't making it work. There are teams with much worse lines who are doing more.

Bingo!

Stubborn coaches we have indeed.

Moncrief

Newsome

Shipley

And plenty others deserve more playing time than they're getting/need to start but nope...... Same old same old Colts

Raiders make sense. Had them drafting Gurley next draft but now with that torn ACL who knows?

[CanuckColt]

Mixed feelings about Tate...he would help the run game but he is injury-prone.

Besides, he probably won't get to the Colts in the waiver process...someone else will pick him up and get to enjoy his next injury within 3 games.

[wesd2890]

Thats it.. lets get another rb who cant complete a season

[MTC]

We should hear any moment now on whether or not we claimed Ben Tate.

[MTC]

If you want my opinion, I think we do put a waiver claim for Tate but end up losing him to another team.

Ben Tate is NOT coming to Indy.

Vikings claim Ben Tate off waivers after he was cut by Browns

[Gavin]

In other words he never made it close to us in the waiver wire, Not a big deal

[mintor]

Well, Indy, that means you get Blount.
He’s probably Irsay’s preference anyway. They could have a great time together.

I bet that was caused by the AP suspension

[GwinnettColt]

We've either got to go after Blount or we go with Richardson (who was held out of practice today), Herron, and Tipton (if he's still on the practice squad).

[hawkeyes]

Maybe- but why did the Brownies cut him?

 

Because they have a good eye for judging RB talent and he is a bum just like the last RB they got rid of!

[Reddog]

Probably would be more productive than the last RB we got from Cleveland and the price is right...

Too Late, no problem we got ......Josh Cribbs???  Another great move on a Browns RB.

A dark horse bring could be Michael Hill who was just signed to the PS

Colts indeed put a waiver claim in for Ben Tate per ESPN's Field Yates.
