Show Coby Fleener some Love

[James Harden]

Last year everyone was bashing on him for his noobness. Can't catch can't block. Blah Blah Blah. He is no Allen, Graham, or Gronk. He is Coby Fleener. The cub is finally turning into the lion. 

[ColtsLegacy]

Dropped wide open TD. There it has been said now we can move on to the good.\

 

The 73 yard TD was beautiful. Beat his guy to get wide open, nice catch followed by 2 broken tackles and then off to the races. That's what I like to see!

[Flash7]

Coby is having a very good year. I've always liked fleener (Stanford fan), and I am glad that he is becoming even more of the receiving threat that we knew he could be.

 

Still, some will not forgive his mistakes from his rookie year and have him labeled, regardless of how well he plays.

[Dark Superman]

Coby has been playing much better than Allen. I really do hope we resign both. Coby and Luck together is a force when they're on.

[RockThatBlue]

Hes playing with tons of confidence.

[Moopsiepuffs]

He's absolutely beautiful. Not many guys have his combination of size, looks, smarts and athletic ability. He will make for a great uncle some day.

I don't know if he's played much better but he sure plays much more often.  In any case, Fleener is having a good year and has shown improvement.  I think he'll end up being an excellent receiving TE.

Allen is the better blocker.. But he's not much of a receiving threat.

[TKnight24]

....... He dropped a wide open pass

That's what ignited everything after that, wanting to make up for that easy TD he dropped

Lol

Allen is a huge receiving threat.

He has not played better than Allen. He's just played a lot more, thanks to injuries. Allen is a far more capable blocker, and has more reliable hands. Coby just gets more opportunities. Coby is also faster. But if the game is on the line, you don't want to rely on Fleener's hands to seal it. I'd trust Allen though.

It's easy to play better when Allen is not playing at all. Both are very good at what they do when on the field.

[crazycolt1]

Sad that this is turned into a Fleener vs Allen debate. How about some respect for the talent of Fleener?

What a terribly ignorant post.

This so called "debate" was started with someone giving Fleener respect and downplaying Allen.

[Indygal1218]

That drop was a major facepalm, but he made up for it.

He's really coming on this season! I've been impressed. I wish he could run block like Allen does, but he just has a different skill set. Hopefully, Allen will get healthy by the end of the season so that he can help out in the playoffs.

At some point durability becomes a part of the equation though right?  Not saying Allen is injury prone just yet but so far Fleener has been healthier (I realize role/style-of-play may play a part in this).

What.

[Dr. Guildo]

Coby is a bad, bad man. He had a great game today... and I'm envious of his hair.

Thanks for posting the videos. I hadn't seen the second one before. He looks like the only one who ate his Wheaties.

[John Dee]

you are out of your mind...   Allen does SO MUCH of the dirty work that Coby is not even ASKED to do because he can NOT do it.

 

I  guarantee you if the staff had to choose it would be Allen without question.     Coby is a luxury, Allen is a necessity to winning football.

Had a touchdown before that.

[21isSuperman]

Coby's really turned it up these last few weeks.  Hopefully he can keep it going and clean up some of the mistakes, like that dropped TD.  Also, please don't let that Sport Science video fool you.  Sport Science is incredibly unscientific.  They just throw out random numbers to make people say wow

[Dark Superman]

Sure could have fooled me..

Allen can't stay healthy..

[JColts72]

He's the TE we all thought he would be when drafted, only took nearly 3 years to play as a complete TE.

[Dark Superman]

What.

You heard me..

[crazycolt1]

This so called "debate" was started with someone giving Fleener respect and downplaying Allen.

But it didn't take much for it to turn into a Fleener vs Allen. Why is so many making a deal out of who is better? They both are Colt players and both do their jobs well. They are team mates not in competition with each other.

Oh NO! Fleener dropped a ball!!! Last time I watched football most all receivers drop a few. But they are not Fleener!!

Ok....and?

[MTC]

Even though he was wide open for most of the game, his effort/hustle after the catch was impressive. 

[John Dee]

Fleener can't can't catch the ball...   I guess Indy is screwed.

Allen can't stay healthy..

[GoColts8818]

I was glad to see him rebound after it but that drop was brutal.  Still we are starting to see why Fleener was drafted where he was.  He's giving the Colts another playmaker who can stretch the field at tightend.  The Colts have so many he's running free and making teams pay, well when he catches it. 

[Sting]

Allen is the better blocker.. But he's not much of a receiving threat.

Allen is actually a pretty darn good receiving threat.  He stays in to block because of our O-line issues, but when he is allowed to run routes, he is a beast.

[Sting]

Dropped wide open TD. There it has been said now we can move on to the good.\

 

The 73 yard TD was beautiful. Beat his guy to get wide open, nice catch followed by 2 broken tackles and then off to the races. That's what I like to see!

Totally agree, Fleener makes it hard to double up on any of our wideouts.  Outside of that drop, he was outstanding today.  Really can't wait to get Allen back, what an opposing defensive coordinator's nightmare this team is.

[OffensivelyPC]

We've got two versatile TE's...why the heck does it matter who is better than the other?  Both guys are giving us an advantage when they play.  End of story.  No debate to be had.

actually it was pretty easy since fleener was not even covered a few times
