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.

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.

 

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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.

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.

      Taking Taylor off the field

      By GoColts8818 · Posted

      The Colts handed Taylor a boat load of money which is unheard for a running back in today’s NFL.  You don’t do that and take him off the field in crucial situations for Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson.  Shane has done just that in two of the last three games he’s coached.  Not playing maybe your best offensive weapon for a whole fourth quarter is criminal.  Shane is trying to be too cute and over thinking things trying to fool other teams and it’s not working in the slightest.  Play your best players at the most critical points of games.  That’s why you paid them.

      Rushing Defense Woes

      I agree 100 Ballard time is up , him and Bradley. You can preach accountability and retain Bradley another year….Ballard loves to say guys just need to hit the layup… he should take his own advice we all knew we needed help in the secondary this year no moves, we all knew we needed help last year at corner , oline year before. I talking about obvious weaknesses media calls him out on it year after year and he plays it off like he smarter than everyone then admit mistakes at the end of year and does the same thing. Bradley doesn’t make any adjustment like he runs what he runs and that it

      To be honest this is malpractice by Ballard ….. like I know they think us fans are stupid but some of us played sports , coached sports , watched sports etc… we know what we are seeing like everyone knew we needed depth in the second. But Ballard doesn’t bring vets in and makes guys compete for a job he hands them to players he thinks are nice people a deserve a shot. Ala Pinter, NFL is a league where you get what you earn ,you eat what you kill , not what you deserve. Ballard need to take a hard look at him self at look at how other teams that win are built. We need speed at the corner position and a scheme shift. Like no HC under Ballard has been able to pick they DC he normally has one before they get hired and they retain Ballard guy
