Griff

[indyagent17]

I told my friend before the game that I thought Chud would play Griff more today and it sure worked out. Nearly everyone on here rails on him but he's about as gritty as a receiver as you're going to find. He put his head down to get the extra yard and he is fearless going across the middle. Great job Chud on your first game it really paid off with what you did.

What did he do besides save the game ?

I wouldn't say everyone rails on him.

He's a poor man's Welker. He and Luck have chemistry.

But lets face it, he won't be going to the pro bowl, but serviceable. He's clutch on 3 rd down.

I think he , hilton, and Dorsett are our best wt getting separation. When Dorsett comes back, i'd like to see him more.

[1959Colts]

Keep playing him!

[BPindy]

I admit, I've downplayed him in the past but he showed up big the past couple of weeks on 3rd down. He has as reliable hands as they come

[zibby43]

Griff is exactly the type of receiver you want on your team:

 

- Reliable hands

 

- Quick in space

 

- Can pile up YAC

 

- Gets open

 

Does he have the Duron Carter-type measurables that casual fans drool over?  Nope.  But the kid can ball when it matters.

 

Griff must continue to get snaps, particularly now that the underneath game is alive and well under Chud.

[WoolMagnet]

Luck needs to get him a td.

I wanna see the "jazz hands"

[krunk]

I'm real interested to see what Chud is going to do with Dorsett when he gets back. Gotta give some love to Whalen though! He makes himself necessary.

no Moncreif?

[Narcosys]

but but but...he's  baaaaaaaad   waaaaaaaaahh  

[SDakColts]

I've praised him and I have knocked him in the past, but these last two weeks he has shown up in crunch time and made some clutch plays. I have to say I have been rather impressed with him, and how they are using him.

[indyagent17]

I said "nearly' everyone has railed on him 

 

Too slow

Not reliable 

fumbler

 

he is just gritty and the communication and trust and he Luck has in invaluable

 

Go Griff

[ALucksNeckBeard]

Luck has a lot of trust in Griff as well.

[Imped]

"He just f***ing makes plays."

 

-Andrew Luck

[DougDew]

Whalen has always made plays when given a chance. He probably should have been playing over Nicks last season.

[Shive]

I've been a fan of Whalen's for the past few years and thought he never got the PT he deserved at WR. He's so clutch and makes the catches that keep drives alive. He's never going to take the top off a defense, but he consistently makes plays.

[21isSuperman]

He's been a very good receiver (especially on 3rd down) for several years now.  He's never been any good on special teams, and I still stand by my comments criticizing his play on special teams.  But he's a reliable receiver

[indyagent17]

Does any know his "thrown to/ receptions stats

[James Harden]

I have criticized him the past couple of years but this year, he finally got a chance to prove show his WR skills. I really like him as a WR and not on special team. Clearly it works in the favor of Luck since he don't have to rely on Hilton on 3rd down every time. Griff can ball, no doubt about that.  

[Coltsman1788]

"He f***g makes plays...Ooops!"

[JPFolks]

Glad he was playing receiver and not fumbling more returns.... ack... 

 

Look, I think Denver saw him as no threat in their game plan and he burned them.  But I give ALL the credit to Luck for finding him with perfect passes.  When the passes are dead on, ANY receiver at the NFL should make those same catches.  But I am glad they threw it to him and no Johnson who seems to drop a critical pass in nearly every game.  

[Knuckles79]

I think he should be on the field every 3rd down at minimum.
