Colts to sign Josh Cribbs?/Welcome aboard Josh Cribbs (merge)

[crazycolt1]

Cribbs is a welcome addition. 

 

But these injuries.....

 

It's bad enough that our lines are schizo and can't play consistently. But to lose Bradshaw and Allen.....argh

As long as his fumbling is cured.

[RockThatBlue]

I like this move.

If Devin Hester can still perform at a higher level, than Josh Cribbs can as well.

I agree.

[buccolts]

Whalen to WR, new RB, and Nicks gone?

Just thinkin'

[GoColts8818]

Tipton maybe? Idk if he's in the PS. There's always that Tate speculation as well.

maybe. I don't know. I am sure they will find someone. My comment was just more about stating a need then being too concerned about it. As we saw with Boom unless someone else gets hurt the third running back won't get many meaningful snaps at running back.

[GoColts8818]

Whalen to WR, new RB, and Nicks gone?

Just thinkin'

whalen would probably go before Nicks, as we saw Sunday just because fans are over Nicks doesn't mean the team is.

[GoColts8818]

Coby has stepped up. He looked like a pro bowler last Sunday. But you don't just replace Allen and Bradshaw.

no you don't you do your best with your next guys. That probably means Doyle gets Allens snaps and trent and boom split the running back job. Still no question those loses hurt.

The good news was I heard on the radio that Allens sprain had been down graded to day-to-day if that's true maybe he doesn't miss much if any time.

[buccolts]

Agreed, but I can see it going either way.

[GoColts8818]

Agreed, but I can see it going either way.

i don't nicks is still starting and Whalen has seen next to no snaps at WR this year.

[Hamboning Will Save URLife]

Why

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

WILDCAT! !!!

[open window]

I am over Nicks at this point, Whalen is terrible too. Feed 10, he has to be our 3rd receiver.

[krunk]

I'm very happy Cribbs will be on the punt return duties now. Much better than Whalen.

Now if we could just get this darn running game fixed. I can't understand why the guys

who were blocking earlier in the season are now not blocking.  They did well as far as 

the passing game against the Pats, but they were pitiful blocking for the ground game.

I hate to say it, but my boy Jonathan Harrison didn't look too good out there. Whatever

the case we've got to get that thing going in the right direction. I want to see some phy-

sicality out of these runners as well as some decisiveness also.

I'm kinda wondering if someone's got a 'tell' that teams have figured out.

[Derakynn]

Thought I'd just throw it out there. For the Jets before he got injured last season:

8 punt returns for 96 yards. (12 yards per return)

20 Kickoff returns for 490 yards. (24.5 yards per return)

[RandomFan]

SB here we come!! 

[Freenyfan102]

slowly but surely the colts are turning into the crappy browns

[pblack18707]

was one of my favorite players. but I think his knee is shot. I wish him nothing but the best.

[USAFHoosier]

If Cribbs knee is even 80% his return ability is way better than Whalen's. Griff usually made the right decisions but doesn't have to ability for big returns.

[mintor]

cool

[Jason_]

So, he gets a pass on all the dropped passes in the past as compared with Allen then, 'for you', I gather. 

 

2012 - Allen had 2 drops, Fleener had 3 (Fleener had slightly higher drop %)

2013 - Allen had 0 drops (because he didn't play), Fleener had 2

2014 - Allen has 3 drops, Fleener has 3 drops (Allen has higher drop %)

[superrep1967]

Does this mean Whalen is going to be cut?

Looks like it.

[superrep1967]

I more worried about our defense which is like girls against guys against the Pats. 

[Freenyfan102]

In today new the Colts changed there name to the Browns

[RandomFan]

slowly but surely the colts are turning into the crappy browns

[sixfive]

Cribbs also plays RB.  Good sign, he will be a gap filler.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Isn't he slow as molasses anymore?

[RockThatBlue]

2012 - Allen had 2 drops, Fleener had 3 (Fleener had slightly higher drop %)

2013 - Allen had 0 drops (because he didn't play), Fleener had 2

2014 - Allen has 3 drops, Fleener has 3 drops (Allen has higher drop %)

[RockThatBlue]

No he's not slow! I just ran back a kickoff with him in Madden !!!

[Superfly Jay]

Whalen might be on his way out the door.

[SteelCityColt]

No he's not slow! I just ran back a kickoff with him in Madden !!!

If Madden is a realistic analog for real life we should have signed Hester instead seeing as he's always cut in Madden

[Bravo]

[Derakynn]

Yeah if Madden is correct Robert Mathis wouldn't be hurt, the Colts would have gone undefeated, and our defense wouldn't have given up 500 or almost 500 yards a couple of games!

They would give up that much if I was playing.

[Bravo]

They would give up that much if I was playing.

Defense actually can be difficult. QB's I play on madden usually throw for like 80-90% completion percentage!

[dudeski]

Fleener is a Jimmy Graham type of TE not a blocking expert

he plays nothing like graham

[krunk]

Cribbs already paying dividends on the first kickoff return

[pgt_rob]

His kick return was nice. Waiting to see more from him. He had a Whalen return to the 10. lol

[Dustin]

TD called back.

[GoColts8818]

After three quarters looks well worth it.

[krunk]

Forget Cribbs!  Let's bring back the Griffer.  Not!
