Wow

[mattceinicram]

That explains why we kept Ballard...

[HtownColt]

In a meaningless 4th preseason game just returning 2 kicks, that sucks man

[BlueCollarColts]

Josh Robinson, step up.

[PuntersArePeopleToo]

Now it makes sense why we kept 5

[achcolts]

NUTS! didnt see that coming at all!!

 

with that said, i really hope ballard is going to be okay cause i loved what i saw from him against the bengals

[ColtsLegacy]

WOWWW. But he said he was "Good". He said he was "Good"!

[backshoulderfade]

Wow. Boom Herron waived-injured by the Colts. If he clears waivers, will revert to team's IR. Amarlo Herrera also waived. #Colts

[CR91]

keeping ballard looks pretty good now.

[ColtsLegacy]

There goes our only home run threat in the backfield.

[oldunclemark]

Id check Kapri Bibbs..a Colorado State grad that Denver just cut.

Good, young quick back.

[bababooey]

How do we not have Ahmad Bradshaw stashed on our roster? He wouldn't have to carry us like last two years...

[RockThatBlue]

Didn't see that one coming.

[backshoulderfade]

I think playing him on Thursday was the worst decision Pagano made as Colts coach.

[mattceinicram]

It's unfortunate, but Boom isn't going to affect wins and losses. This will just give Robinson more opportunities to shine as our number 2.

No it doesn't. Ballard will be hurt week 1. Let it go, he's done

[ztboiler]

Boom will be back....seems unlikely that anyone else will pick him up while injured.

[Derakynn]

No it doesn't. Ballard will be hurt week 1. Let it go, he's done

"Let it go" he says while posting his 300th post bashing Ballard.

[CanuckColt]

Just one of dozens of poor decisions.

Playing him was not really bad, but having him do returns was just freaking dumb...but that's Chuckles.

[RockThatBlue]

This must mean Robinson is ready to go next week.

[Dark Superman]

I personally like Robinson over Herron. Hopefully Varga can stick around, or Ballard can bounce back.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

No it doesn't. Ballard will be hurt week 1. Let it go, he's done

I think you actually need to let it go.

[Dark Superman]

Didn't Herron say He was good? Lol.

[JRnINDY]

I always felt Robinson was going to be our #2 and groomed to replace Gore. He is a 3 down beast with good hands. I am more than OK with Gore, Robinson, Varga. (Ballard can't stay healthy).

[HtownColt]

No it doesn't. Ballard will be hurt week 1. Let it go, he's done

His Hamstring isn't serious obviously he's day to day, and Colts don't need him for week 1. He'll be good to go sooner than later. He might even be practicing Wednesday who knows

you need to stop being negative

[Andrew Luck's Beard]

Dang, we've got some sloooooooow backs.

[RomanianColtsFan]

They will be OK as far as running backs. Gore, Varga, and Robinson are all very good. Ballard should overcome the hamstring issues with some care as the season goes along.

[SDakColts]

Dang, we've got some sloooooooow backs.

We don't need super fast backs in our system. We need patient backs that can find a hole and get through it with some power. We run a power run scheme we need power backs . I think all the backs we have on the roster right now fit the scheme well.

[Yoshinator]

I leave for 20 mins and this thread pops up. At least Robinson wasn't let go, all I can say about this.

[RealityIsLuck]

My god. If he doesn't clear waivers and go to IR I will be very upset but I am optimistic this will happen.

[Bluefire4]

Vick Ballard may actually get playing time.. I am shocked. Herron and Herrera were not what I was expecting.

[Andrew Luck's Beard]

We don't need super fast backs in our system. We need patient backs that can find a hole and get through it with some power. We run a power run scheme we need power backs . I think all the backs we have on the roster right now fit the scheme well.

In my opinion our elusive backs (Brown, Bradshaw, Boom) have all had better success behind our line compared to our power backs. But then again, our power backs haven't exactly been that great, either . Gore looked good in limited action so far, but we'll see how the run game looks next week, I guess.

What an overstatement.

[backshoulderfade]

What an overstatement.

No.

[K-148]

A lot of panic about nothing. It wasn't Luck returning kicks. It was Herron. Once again: Herron. Robinson, Varga, Ballard will be ok.

[TKnight24]

His Hamstring isn't serious obviously he's day to day, and Colts don't need him for week 1. He'll be good to go sooner than later. He might even be practicing Wednesday who knows

Hamstrings vary, but nothing to play with. LeSean McCoy hurt his and it's a possibility he'll miss next Sunday. Which would be great for the defense if he does.

Back to Ballard, it's hamstring this week.... something else later. It's really time to move on

And that's saying a lot.

He'll be good for the long term, his problem is season ending injuries not nagging week to week injuries. Think his hamstring will be fine in 2weeks

we need SPEED !
