RockThatBlue Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I hope that is the case but we need to be prepared just in caseA TE needs to be added to the PS at leastSwoope is still on the PS isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincetonTiger Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Swoope is still on the PS isn't he?Not sure he is "ready" to be activated if DA is not ready and he is more of a Fleener type not an in line blocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Harden Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Swoope is still on the PS isn't he?I forgot all about him..the coaches were raving about him during training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtsLegacy Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 In terms of pure receiving, sure. But Allen has utility use as a FB and premium TE blocking skills well above that of Fleener. Allen's a better, more consistent receiver as well. Fleener has the potential to be special as we glimpsed last week but we need to see it more consistently (not necessarily all the yards but making big/tough catches at crucial times).

ColtsLegacy Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Swoope is still on the PS isn't he? Totally forgot about him. We are playing the Jags next week, could be a good game to give him a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim H. Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 That's what we all imagined/hoped for when we drafted Fleener but last week was about the only time he's ever shown us Jimmy Graham-ish potential.Gotta start somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJACKCOLT Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 For me at least Coby has always been equal to or above DA but Jack's role will change [/quote Coby has never been near DA's equal much less above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtsLegacy Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Gotta start somewhere... No doubt. I've voiced (posted) how impressed I was with his play and that I really hope he builds on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corgi Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 In terms of pure receiving, sure. But Allen has utility use as a FB and premium TE blocking skills well above that of Fleener. I don't think Allen will miss much if any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Boom was returning kicks last game.... So I assume they are bringing in Cribbs for that so Boom can focus on offense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtsFanMikeC Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 my guess is bradshaw is going to IRI agree, but I think we'll want to bring up Zurlon Tipton to give us another body at RB? I think Bradshaw goes to IR then we have to cut someone else or demote to practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csmopar Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 possibly. my only fear is that it maybe a double edge sword bringing a guy from outside in. May have some strengths, but our Offensive play book takes a bit to learn. Granted a good running back, finds holes and hits them...we dont seem to be able to hit them, and once area that bradshaw seemed better at than richardson was looking for whatever gap he good and anticipating where the hole might be, richardson just goes sideways. we need a running back who can just bulldoze forward like Gray did to us on Sunday.

oldunclemark Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Its a good pickup anyway you look at it... ..another explosive playmaker on special teams.../And I bet we work him into the offense on specialty plays We needed a boost this week.

krunk Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hopefully I don't have to look at Griff as the punt returner again. Hopefully Cribbs will get back to his old form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krunk Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'll see what Grigs does about the running back situation, but I think boys are slipping on Tipton. I think he's a pretty good back for a big guy. Can bring a physical presence to the running game, plus he's got pretty good feet and balance. Rarely loses any yards.

LJpalmbeacher2 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Fleener is a Jimmy Graham type of TE not a blocking expertFleener can't hold Jimmy Graham`s jock strap. But I'm sure you meant he is receiving te rather than all-around te and your right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTC Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I like this move. If Devin Hester can still perform at a higher level, then Josh Cribbs can as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycolt1 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Maybe now our Special team will be more of a factor in our games. Starting at the 50 yard line is better then starting at the 20yard line every time. Maybe some TDs tooWe have had excellent special teams play. Maybe some decent punt returns but the way kick offs are going into the end zone those are few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
