OHColtfan Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I don't think it is either or. Whalen and Johnson can have a role, but Johnson just needs to catch the ball. Too many drops and too many times he simply disappears. I agree with Throwing BBZ that Johnson does a great job of blocking and really puts himself into the run blocking, something no other receiver seems to be really good at. Whalen as a third-down or passing situation or slot receiver sounds good to me. If you look around the league, there are some really good ones that can be deadly to a D. He doesn't have to be the fastest, biggest, or strongest guy out there, he just has to catch the ball, be aware of where the 1st down marker is and keep drives alive. He does that, I really don't care what we think of his talent level or athletic ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-148 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Amazing. 3 months ago a lot of people wanted Grigson to cut "midgets" Griff Whalen and Quan Bray and play "big-threats" Johnson and Carter. Looks like Grigson knows a thing or two about WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jet1968 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 He is a better ball catcher then he is a ball hiker. Maybe the Colts should keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defjamz26 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I said the same thing in the game day thread. Johnson is wasted money, and another swing and miss by our GM.And it's not like this is just a breakout performance. He was clutch in 2013 for that stretch where Hilton and Wayne were out. Same thing back then. Sure hands, and like Luck said: " Just makes * plays ".One of Grigson's faults is that he reaches in FA instead of letting young guys develop. Once again we have another young player out playing a proven vet. Stuff like this is what makes me buy into the idea that Grigs messes with the lineup. Dorsett and Whalen have outplayed AJ, why is he still starting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewColtsFan Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Out here on the West Coast, we had the Pitts-Oak game first. And that game went way, WAY long. So, the broadcast of the Colts-Denver game didn't come on until most of the 1st quarter was over. So, I missed a fair amount. Here's my question? Did AJ play yesterday, or was he a healthy scratch? I'm not sure I saw him on the field or heard his name even mentioned? Did Griff replace AJ and play the rest of the way? Inquiring minds want to know..... Thanks for the 411.............

RockThatBlue Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Andre had several great blocks in the running game. Sorry, but Andre has a Luck problem that should get better.Right. Its Lucks fault that he can't catch anything or hardly ever get open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPFolks Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 We should've just kept WayneIt is not too late. Look at how great Bradshaw is fitting back in! I've shouted about both Bradshaw and Reggie since Pre-Season. They finally pulled the trigger on Reggie. I think it is time to bring him back to finish out the season and win another Super Bowl. We've got injuries all over the place.. not sure who can begin to fill the void from Anderson... but if a spot is open bring Reggie in and see what he has. He could be the possession receiver while we get Moncrief outside instead of Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbear Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I tend to watch game replays in slo mo. When I see that ball coming into an open receiver, I'm hoping it's Whalen. If it's AJ or even TY, much next thought (fear) is don't drop it! If I see it's Whalen, I have no doubts it will be caught! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Debonair Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It's dumb to have this guy vs. that guy convo. Both guys provide different skill sets. Both deserve to continue to see the field and can help this team win. Each game will provide dictate how productive the other is but there shouldn't be pre-determined decisions. Keep the rotation going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bababooey Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 As a WR: Whalen > AJWhalen > Nicks I wish he wasn't held back so much the past two years.He had his shot when Reggie went down, but we didn't have the depth we do now. Edelman was never the guy for the pats, heck Cleveland didn't even wanna pay him that much so he came crawling back to NE for a team friendly deal and is now one of the best players in the NFL. Would be nice if Whalen develops into that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterlock Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I know many people here think Whalen is nothing special. Just a normal guy. A bottom feeder. Not a great player. Doesn't deserve a spot on an active roster. However, the past few games. He has been clutch. Going up the middle and catching everything. He's a tough kid and makes some nice grabs. Whalen should be put in more.Yeah, in other words, doing what he's always done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Superman Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Whalen looked sharp and confident out there these past few weeks. His route running, hands, and chemistry with Luck is working for us. I woulnd't mind seeing a little more Whalen and Dorsett and a little less AJ. Let AJ rest his legs and save him for the playoffs.

zibby43 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Johnson had a great game against the Texans. But, it's all about - "What have you done for me lately?" Considering he's just 9 games into a new offense, I'll cut him some slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucklez Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Free agent receivers haven't worked out well for the Colts.Donnie Avery was pretty good in Lucks 1st year with us. He wasn't amazing or anything, but he wasn't bad. He just didn't stick around because KC decided they would pay him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
