We need bradshaw!

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

As I was watching this game. ... I came up with my own opinion that bradshaw + Gore= production. .. We should kick the tires for sure

[buck_hunter21]

Will the O-Line issues be resolved by kicking the tires on Bradshaw? If so, I'd be interested. 

[Mr.Debonair]

We need a better passing game. That's what will open things up

[bababooey]

Many members of the forum have been saying this since the offseason. He doesn't have to be the guy now that Trent is gone so less chance at a freak injury. Given his age and injury history I see why we are not pursuing. However Gore having trouble catching out of the backfield and fumbling in the red zone and Robinson fumbling is not sustainable. I'd prefer Varga as second RB when he is healthy again.

[CR91]

colts are probably just waiting the 6 weeks I think it takes to resign herron

[ColtsBTM12]

This could very well happen. I remember there was a report a couple weeks ago that said if the Colts see their running back depth behind Gore struggle, then they might bring Bradshaw back. Well, clearly, Robinson is struggling so we'll see what happens. I would be happy to see them bring back Ahmad.

[Bluefire4]

Gore+Bradshaw= production

Gore+Boom= production

Gore+Ballard= production

 

I think we are just too young at the #2 spot. We need to get a more experienced two by the end of the season and it will probably be one of these three.

[SDakColts]

I wouldn't complain if we decided to bring Bradshaw in. He would be a great pass catching/redzone back and would be great with Gore. However, I really want to see more of Varga to see what he can do over Robinson.

[GoColts8818]

With the fumble issues it wouldn't shock me to see the Colts look at him or Brown. Both can be pass catchers out of the backfield or more or less a third down back

[Buck Showalter]

Bring in Bradshaw for help in the NE game, that alone will be worth it...

[Nesjan3]

Bradshaw is a beast! one year contract him and Gore split carries with the rookies getting snaps here and there, I don't want to ever see a rookie getting important snaps in the first quarter again when we have a fully functional veteran workhorse

[shakedownstreet]

that goreshaw guy is pretty good

[COLTS449]

colts are probably just waiting the 6 weeks I think it takes to resign herron

 

I thought he had to be on IR if we brought him back? So he could come back and play this year?

[riderprider47]

The o line needs to open holes for Gore. As we all know our o line sucks.

[RealityIsLuck]

After watching JRob struggle (again), I've thought about it and think it's time to switch up the RB group. Cut Tipton (he's useless) and sign either Donald Brown or Ahmad Bradshaw. Both former Colts, both have serviceable hands and are decent blockers. Could be serviceable. 

[CanuckColt]

"We need Bradshaw!"

 

Probably true...Robinson sure is not ready to play NFL ball...he belongs on the PS at best.

[CR91]

I thought he had to be on IR if we brought him back? So he could come back and play this year?

 

I dont know the rule exactly, but because he had a injury that wouldnt take long enough to cover the IR to return column he was waive injured and there was a injury settlement which means for the colts to sign him back, they have to wait 6 weeks  

[antipatriot]

Bradshaw and Gore would be a great tandem both have show the ability to run behind our line others have not.

[colts52761]

get Mike James off tampa bay's practice squad

[Hammer]

Where are all the guys that made smart remarks when I posted 3 weeks ago that we need Bradshaw now?

[Dark Superman]

I loved a healthy Bradshawn while he was here. His blocking, aggressive running style and pass catching ability is something we could use right about now.

[Superman]

I thought he had to be on IR if we brought him back? So he could come back and play this year?

 

Injury settlement means he can play for us again, but not until six weeks after the recovery timeline outlined in the injury settlement. None of us knows how long that recovery outline was, but if it were two weeks, then he can't play for the Colts for six weeks + two weeks. Again, just an example, as I don't know how long the injury settlement is for.

[Superman]

I didn't make smart remarks, but I didn't think we needed Bradshaw then, and I don't think we need him now. 

[Coltsman1788]

Ride Gore down to the goal line then use Bradshaw to pound it in without fumbling hopefully. lol

[Hammer]

I didn't make smart remarks, but I didn't think we needed Bradshaw then, and I don't think we need him now. 

 

I know you didn't, I wrote down the names of the guys that did.

[Superman]

Alrighty.

[crazycolt1]

All this talk of bring Bradshaw in and no one knows if he is even healthy enough. Arm chair GMs amaze me.

[JPFolks]

As I was watching this game. ... I came up with my own opinion that bradshaw + Gore= production. .. We should kick the tires for sure

I am so annoyed at you for saying EXACTLY what I wanted to come here and say but you beat me to it! 

 

All game my thoughts were "Bradshaw is just sitting out there and we bring Zurlon Tipton back.... wth..."  And that was BEFORE Gore tried to lose a second game for us by fumbling on the goal line.  

 

Gore is washed up.  Against a decent Defense he's useless.... dropped passes, very little yardage....  and even his one good carry all day at the end of that game, it wasn't really needed at that point, we were already well within FG range.  Any other team would bench a RB for two fumbles in 3 games... let alone 2 at the goal line.... but who do we have to back him up?  Another weak player you can't rely on who has also fumbled.  So why not bring in an established Vet with fresh legs and who is healthy, even if he only lasts 5 games, who care?  That might be the difference between 1 or 2 more wins/losses!  I know we are stuck with Gore, but why not bring on some back up we can rely on? PLEASE.  

 

PS: If they hadn't missed those last 2 field goals, I would have called for Pagano's head.  You don't risk a practice try on a long long field goal.  The only good thing I will admit is that after missing 2, he overcorrect even from closer and to the left instead of right hash mark to miss the 3rd in a row.  

 

All in all, Hasselbeck played well.   The defense played okay (let's remember this is the awful Jaguars).  The O-Line is still pitiful.  Hasselbeck gets the ball out twice as fast as Luck it appeared, albeit to short routes usually.  Perhaps Luck needs to the same until he's healthy.  New England has lived on short catches with long YAC for nearly 2 decades. 

[TrueColt!]

Bradshaw may be nice, but the Bears are trying to dump Forte off!!!

[TrueColt!]

We really need to lobby for Forte. That would be big!

[Superman]

We really need to lobby for Forte. That would be big!

 

I really like Forte, but uhh, let's not trade a pick for a 30 year old RB. Reports say it would take a 2nd or 3rd rounder. At that price, no thanks.

[COLTS449]

get Mike James off tampa bay's practice squad

 

I've been saying this for a few days. Mike James was pretty good year before last. He'd be a really good pickup.

[NewEra]

All this talk of bring Bradshaw in and no one knows if he is even healthy enough. Arm chair GMs amaze me.

Or even if he wants to play

[jchandler7]

Will the O-Line issues be resolved by kicking the tires on Bradshaw? If so, I'd be interested.

Actually....yes it would, Bradshaw was the highest rated blocker at the rb position a couple years ago.

[bababooey]

Forte is actually historically a terrible goal line back as well. Yes he is a fantastic player and insanely productive but he is not a good goal line back.

[colts52761]

Sign Mike James and put Denzelle Good in at RG. Probably won't happen, but like to see what happens if they did.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

We sign him now he's serves his 1 game suspension and he's all set to go against NE

[krunk]

I trust Gore but I really want to see Varga down there. He is ideal for the situation.

[krunk]

I also want to see Varga on some spider 2

[lollygagger8]

I'm a fan of bringing Bradshaw in. He is money catching passes out of the backfield, and can block just as good as Gore can. Bring him back in for what we paid him last year ($855k) and let him outplay it again.
