why couldnt we run the ball in on first and goal on the 1 yd line? poor play calling or bad o-line

Some may say don't give it to Carter in that situation because he's put the ball on the ground this year. However, those runs are the reason you brought the guy in and I'd rather instill confidence in a rookie to get my 0-11 team a score instead of play calling-scared & to not make mistakes vs. winning. Carter has run for those tough yards this year and I like the chances with him in that situation. Same premise as not going back to a receiver because of a dropped TD pass or ran a bad route resulting in a turnover.

yeh, gave garcon chances after dropped catches, and he made great catches today. Carter only got 3 carries, which is pretty stink, he should have the offseason to work on that.

Well both... the O-line didn't come through and eventually costed us 5 yards and a sack. They're blocking was good enough on the first play, but the ball was batted down. If I were the coach on the 2 yard line, I would have run the ball, then pass, then run again. If still on the one, I run it again. Make it unpredictable.

difference Carter got benched for fumbling before got his chance today after that and what did he do almost first thing? Fumble. He's got to get that worked out to get major playing time. With that said fumbling isn't an unheard of problem for a rookie back and many other backs have gotten it fixed so hopefully Carter can too.

Yep. The organization has some things backwards with regard to long-term/short-term and risk/reward decision making. If Carter is going to be part of the equation, and clearly he is, send him in there down on the 1 and tell him to run it in for 6.

      Any chance we take a OT with the 1st pick?

      FWIW:   Today I listened to a guy from The Athletic interviewed on ESPN.   (Darren Lee). He said interviewing GMs at the combine, almost all view DeJean as a safety except two teams.  He thinks the Colts and Jags view DeJean as a corner.     I don’t know this reporter, never seen him before, so I can’t speak to his credibility.  But it sounds like he did a lot of homework.     And I appreciate your view on pro day times being reliable or not.   I’m always skeptical on pro days.  But I thought DeJean helped himself on his testing.

      It’s officially over: Luck says he will never return.

      I could care less what he does. Been too long ago.

      I’m with ya..     I'm not sure we’re going WR at 15 either.  I think we could go DE, and it’s possible we could go CB as well.   Gosh,  I love Mitchell and really like Arnold as well.  And if we trade back I would be fine with McKinstry or a DE on defense or one of the 2nd tier of WRs that could be there in the 20’s.  So many options.   I keep reminding myself, every pick could produce a surprise, because I think Ballard will have so many options to choose from.      Im also not sure Ballard will use all 7 rounds.   He finished in 5 rounds in his first draft 2017,  and he finished in 6 rounds in 2019.   Maybe he uses all 7 rounds, but I’m not confident we will.     One week from tonight.

      IndyColtsFan411's Never-ending Mock Drafts Post

      By coltsfanatic24 · Posted

      My Final Mock Draft   15. Brock Bowers, TE,  6’4 245 Lbs, Georgia - Blue Chip Prospect.  Rare combination of acceleration, speed and body control. Hands-catcher operating with good coordination and technique. With Pittman on the outside Bowers will control the middle of the field and seams. AR Will develop much quicker into a top 10 QB with Bowers as his TE.  46. TJ Tampa, CB, 6’1, 190 Lbs, Iowa State - Elite physical traits. Plays with good positioning throughout routes. Very good in press Coverage and Zone. Expect him to compete in training camp and be named a starter.      82. Calen Bullock, S, 6’2 190 lbs, USC - Elite physical traits. He has the range to play single-high safety, the athleticism to line up over the slot and the ball skills to chalk up impressive on-ball production. Expect him to compete in training camp for the starting S position.    117. Tez Walker,  WR,  6’2 195 Lbs, UNC - Elite speed with very good body control. Career average of 30.7 yards on touchdown receptions. Gives us very good depth and competition with Pierce.    151. Grayson Murphy, DE, 6’3 260 Lbs, UCLA - Shows impressive quickness and change of direction to help turn speed to power as a rusher. Good depth.    191.  Keaton Bills, G, 6’5 320 Lbs, Utah - Cerebral player, quick to react to twists and stunts up front. Very good depth.
