I like Fleener, I really do, but I still think he plays rather soft and doesn't dominate his matchups as you would expect of someone his size. He doesn't look for contact and that's a quality I like out of TE's. Like Doyle, dude doesn't shy away from contact.

Doyle doesn't look for contact.....he can't avoid it.

I didn't miss anything No matter how well or poor Fleener plays you always have something negative to say. Who cares if he don't try and run over people. As long as he makes catches and moves the chains that is all that matters.

Ok. So having an opinion is a problem? Guess I didn't give him a compliment in my post, but ok.

You win man, you win

Didn't get to see the game, but I'm hoping with Chud, he uses Fleener to create mismatches which could help the pass game.  With his speed and size, I would love to see Fleener in the slot more forcing the defense to play a safety on him straight up or a LB.  With his speed, he could cause some havoc on the defense.

 

He definitely grown and deserve to be resigned.

It's not a matter of win. But it don't matter, Fleener has been here as long as Luck and you have yet to have a positive word to say about him. But that is your personality so it comes as no surprise. Carry on.

TE's were heavily featured. It was a real balanced attack. The only person who didn't do anything really was Andre Johnson

THIS. I love Jack Doyle and think he provides a lot of value to this team, but let's not act like the guy is a great athlete.

Not bad for a third tightend!  Honestly none of the Colts tightends are as good as say Gronk but as a whole we might have the best unit of them in the NFL. 

 

The biggest change I noticed today in the offense outside of execution and a better job mixing up the play calls was a focus on the tightends in the passing game.  A third of Luck's passes went their way today.  I think that's a weapon we are going to see a lot more of.

Doyle's block last year on an onside kick...I can't remember for the life of me what team it was but it was like a a frickin' car accident. After that I knew that guy likes to be physical

What's wrong with Allen btw. Fleener and Allen I thought was gonna be the next best TE duo in the league for a long time. Allen regressed a lot after injuries. Allen seems not to be able to make those tough catches anymore or block all that well. While Fleener is getting better I don't think he is going to get top dollar with the production he has had.

Its not either or...we'll sign both

 

At this point it comes down to asking price. Allen has been hurt a lot and he's been straight up not that good when he's been on the field so far this season. There's definitely a lot of talent there but wouldn't it be nice to use that extra cash as part of the contract to find a DB, Edge rusher, or O-lineman? Again, depends on what he'd be willing to sign for, he certainly hasn't earned a big contract this season.

 

Fleener however, has proven to be solid.

I doubt it. Why sign Allen? Keep Doyle for cheap and mold one of the young TE's. We have. The money we'd use on Allen could be use to replace Greg Toler cause he is just awful

Totally agree. At this point Allen has regressed from his great rookie year. Doyle and Fleener, plus another blocking TE, and you have a solid, durable group, with $ saved in the process.  Use that extra money to get Vontae a better partner in the D backfield together with some semblance of a pass rush and suddenly the D is one to be reckoned with.

      Colts OTAs Thread May 21st-23rd; May 29th-31st

      AR is on the McAfee show. He just said he is 100% and has never felt better. Then he went on to say, opposing teams haven't seen nothing yet once JT and I lineup in the backfield!

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      I have read numerous scouts and they had him ranked as the  #3 WR in the draft based on talent. I loved the pick but let's not fool ourselves, there is something that made him drop to the 2nd. I am not going to say it is character and/or lack of production. Ballard can go on his rant all he wants, but there was a reason. If he succeeds and becomes a legit #1, then we will wont care. My guess is if he fails to live up the hype, then we  it will leak out why he never reached his full potential. At this point, I couldn't care a less, as I loved the pick at the time and it was the Colts taking a chance with some questions about Mitchell. The one thing I did not like was Ballard going on his rant is he should have just kept quiet and said we like he player. Him going on a rant leaves him open to criticism if for example Mitchell does not work out and say it comes out that he has a poor attitude, work ethic etc.

      Your surprise opening day starter

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Actually,  I don't think you can really say who is the #2. I think, they actually want Pittman to be relegated to that role as they are hoping that Mitchell or Pierce can finally assume that take the top of the defense  #1 wr.  I don't put to much stock in Mitchell unseating Downs as they play to different positions. Downs is the slot and Mitchell is hopefully that legit #1 that the Colts have never had. So in saying, Mitchell will not be unseating Downs, as they will be asked to do different things. I think the Colts are just hoping to have that legit #1 guy and then everyone else can play the role they were drafted for. If Mitchell or Pierce break out, you will see the ball spread out to the remainder of the WR's and TE's.

      Interesting Note on Last 2 Colts Receivers Drafted High

      By csmopar · Posted

      Keep in mind, with drops, it has always been very subjective to whether it was a “drop” or not. Which is why the rates vary so much

      Wide Receivers are getting paid!

      By NFLfan · Posted

      That is about how much I heard he might get. I am glad it is over and we are not waiting for the other shoe to drop (leave in FA or choose not to play).   Now, all the pressure is on him to perform
