Bradshaw visiting

[TKnight24]

he and Gore would be a bruising tandem

Yeah for 4 games and then Bradshaw gets hurt again

Monster when healthy, but the healthy part is the catch

Grigson loves him some injury prone players I swear

Always listen to the "Great One" (Bob Lamey) while watching on TV. The man knows radio football calls like no other I've ever heard.

COLTS WIN! COLTS WIN! COLTS WIN!

Except when his emotions get away from him or he call touchdown before it happens and it actually wasn't a td.

I love his emotion(most of the time) but at times he crosses the line and embarrases himself or acts unprofessional.

Things like... " he fumbled the frickin football"

So what. Ride him for 4 games then. At this point we have to focus game by game or our season will be over. If he gets hurt, we'll just be back where we are now.

No big whoop.

[backshoulderfade]

He's gonna be back here.

[chrisfarley]

Bradshaw is just an injury waiting to happen.  He's just a rolling ball of butter knives at this point in his career.

[jszfunk]

I hope he can stay healthy.
When he was, he was very effective.
Hard runner out of the backfield,great blocker,
and can catch.He was a safety valve for Andrew
getting those short passes and making plays
in the redzone to score. The offense was really
rolling last year when he was in there. It hurt
then when he went out.

[SDakColts]

Make it happen Grigs!! A great vet depth signing along with Gore. He is a decisive downhill runner, and great pass protector like Gore, but a much better pass catcher out of the backfield. Bradshaw and Gore would be a great veteran RB combo.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

To my knowledge we've never faced Patriots with him and when we did face legit teams with him starting. ... We pretty much had our way on offense. .. I.e. san fran, Seattle, Baltimore, Cincy

Yeah, he does tend to get over excited at times, doesn't he? But hey, who doesn't?

btw ... "fumbled the frickin' football" comment was one of the best I've ever heard from him. Lamey likes to tell it like it is, not like it isn't. And yes, sometimes the jargon just slips out. I like that in a commentator/analyst/broadcaster. Can't imagine a game without him.

[Tsarquise]

FINALLY!

[Tsarquise]

Exactly! I don't get these nonsensical negative Nancy's; the bottom line is he is a play-maker, if he gets injured, oh well.

[mattceinicram]

We hate Robinson now? Cool. I love seeing how rapidly mass opinion on a player changes on this forum.

[southwest1]

I yelled at the TV as loud as I have in years when Pagano called Time out.    I did not tire of Bob Lamey saying...."HE MISSED IT HE MISSED IT HE MISSED IT!!!!!"

Absolutely right gentlemen, Bob is the best play by player announcer around. That's the 1 thing I miss: Not having my Sirus satellite radio anymore to listen to Lamey do his excited voice inflections since I don't live in INDY. He's so exceptional at what he does...Creating the perfect visual image...Formation line up, snap of the ball, execution, & what the staff is trying with each down, each quarter, & the mentality to possess in overtime. He's 1 of a kind Brent & CS!

I don't know WM. I can understand how some listeners with children might get upset of course, but to me, I want an announcer that's distraught when something unfortunate happens on the field. I love his loyalty, fire, & passion. I will always defend Bob because our losses devastate him just like the coaches or players & fans need to know that the play by play guy bleeds blue through & through & Bob loves the Colts no matter what our record is year to year; decade to decade. The man is a living legend just like Bobby Knight. JMO.

He hurt himself in the Patriots game last year.

He's been terrible. I was worried about the depth behind Gore, but was willing to give them a shot. Robinson has done the minimum with his attempts and Varga is solely a blocking back atm.

The Colts can't afford to go through their growing pains right now. They need a reliable back up.

[NagelHausForge]

I wouldn't get too excited about Bradshaw until they waive Tipton back to the PS.  No way the Colts are going with Gore, Bradshaw, Robinson, Varga, Tipton AND Bradshaw...

I bet come 5PM it happens.

Exactly CL, whatever his foot ailments have been in the past. We need a 2nd thumper back behind Gore or INDY is just asking for an upcoming disaster as the season progresses. I'm cool with this move.

But with Bradshaw its a given you know he's gonna get hurt, but what he gives you for the 4 decent games you get out of him is worth every penny to sign him...

Its a win win situation, I think...

[Steamboat_Shaun]

I think the articles were from before the season not now

 

Meant to post earlier: Ahmad Bradshaw definitely visiting Colts today. Key point: He has already served suspension. Can play immediately.

I love this. What a great addendum, Buck Showalter ... "I think ..."

Totally agree, btw.

If it weren't for the injury issues there'd be no way a player of Bradshaw's quality would be available right now.

It's either him, a great back who knows our system but is injury prone, or one of many untalented FA RBs who don't know our system. That's what you get in FA this time of year.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

hell no! I love Robinsons potential we should Def keep him. .. But his performance is not at a pro level just yet. .. After all he's a rookie

[rockywoj]

Assuming he is once again healthy, I'd rather have Bradshaw on the roster than Tipton.

[Colt^2]

We signed CB Shaun Prater to fill the remaining spot on the 53.

Which does not preclude signing Bradshaw and making roster room thereafter.

[needanoline63]

So we're bringing back a guy we cut for being injured all the time. I can't wait till grigson is gone

[Coltsman1788]

Ahmad Bradshaw?  Yes please.

 

Even if he eventually gets hurt...he'll eat up some carries and save some wear and tear on Gore.  He'll help us for a few games...could be what we need to help get us through the toughest part of our schedule.  Well worth it in my opinion.

[Buck Showalter]

What is difficult to understand about Bradshaws value???

[bluebombers87]

Considering Bradshaws injury history, do you think Herron might not be a bad option? He was injured earlier but he was fairly reliable for us last year.

I might be overlooking something though.

[chad hugo]

Any news yet ? 

[NewEra]

Sweet!! He runs like he's *!!

Josh is a practice squad talent which is where he should be playing.

[csmopar]

Josh is a practice squad talent which is where he should be playing.

And just a month ago people on this very forum, many of the same ones now crying about him, were drooling all over him.......

I'm not sure how I feel about a Bradshaw signing.....

[RockThatBlue]

To my knowledge we've never faced Patriots with him and when we did face legit teams with him starting. ... We pretty much had our way on offense. .. I.e. san fran, Seattle, Baltimore, Cincy

Bradshaw was with us last year when we played em in the regular season.

[fatboy]

Bradshaw had freakish fibula break, getting hit from behind at end of a play (I think) last year. Hardly indicative of being brittle.

[2006Coltsbestever]

We looked great on Offense when he was in last season and Andrew used him a lot as a safety valve and down by the goaline. I would rather have him as a 2nd back to Gore over Robinson or Varga. Robinson is slow and hasn't ran that well at all.

[CanuckColt]

And just a month ago people on this very forum, many of the same ones now crying about him, were drooling all over him........

That's until we saw him TRY to play in some real games...he just isn't ready yet.

Watch guys like Gore (and even Bradshaw) follow their blockers and look for a crease and run thru it.

Robinson needs more experience and more practice.
