Hmmmmm....they call him 'Checkdown Charlie'...we can use some of that action for a change.

 

 

This is going to be weird with Hasselbeck and Charlie at QB...the ball comes out quick and short...the O-line isn't going to know what to do with all that spare time as they are accustomed to trying to hold their blocks for 10 seconds plus while Andrew runs around back there waiting for a receiver to get open.

I thought Andrew got it out quick on Sunday plenty. I think with Chud now we will be seeing that a lot from any of our QB's.

Decent move. Costs $117,647/week, $1.06m if he's on the roster for the rest of the season. He's a reasonably capable guy for a backup, he's been in a lot of competitive situations and has been around a lot of good offensive coaches and QBs. I wouldn't mind bringing him back to compete for a spot in 2016.

I could live with that. I had my eye on Henne looking at FA's in 2016. We need a back up with experience that can hold down the fort when Matt retires.

Hopefully Luck gets better at protecting himself but he's always going to have some of that competitive recklessness. It's in his blood. He will take the hit to deliver the ball, take on a defender for a 1st down, and tackle out of frustration after a turnover.

Is this recent data, or 9 years ago from the 2006 Draft?

 

It's Draft/Pro Day data.

 

Mileage/years affect(s) measurables, to an extent.  Because he has stayed in the game and in shape, he should still be in the vicinity of those numbers.  Not like he has taken a beating.

 

Although, I'm pretty positive the height data is still "fresh." :D

Like Ricker182 said, he is not a good QB and the Colts will be in trouble if MH gets hurt and they have to depend on Charlie.  But the pickens are slim when looking for a back-up QB during week 9 of the season and he is probably about the best of the bad.

He's a decent player..and the option is to get someone who has never started a game...

////CW has won NFL games....

$941,176  according to Spotrac

Not bad for 8 weeks of (non) work, plus any post season.

 

Eight weeks, not 9. I don't know why I thought there were nine weeks remaining. Anyways, Spotrac's total should be correct.

      Next Defensive Coordinator

      By chad72 · Posted

      Packers fans can tell me about Joe Barry that was their DC from 2021-23. They were always in the Top 12-15 range in terms of points per game as opposed to the Colts.   But the year 2021, the Colts were on par because we ran the ball well and possessed it well. Not so much in 2022, and 2023 was a bit of defensive regression for decent possession of the ball from Bradley’s unit.   Brandon Staley is another name but I’d prefer Jon Barry for his units to generate pressure. Otherwise we’d have to look at college like Packers getting the Boston College HC.   I’m a fan of Jim Leonhard that was a heck of a defensive coach / DC at Wisconsin, and is now a DB coach with Broncos. Dave Merritt, the Chiefs DB coach has done an outstanding job there and was interviewed for DC by 49ers.   My pick would be Jim Leonhard or Dave Merritt.

      You can’t keep winning only scoring one TD A game. I think they have gotten some what lucky with who they have played. Colds dline beat up so we will see.

      What I meant is they are not going to come out and just throw 50 times. They are going to try and break your will and run out the clock. It’s  probably going to be a low scoring game. They have only scored 3 offensive TD. I am shocked they str 3-0. They don’t have many offensive weapons. Harris is not really a pass catching back who will break a long run. Now could that change. Off course. But their Oline id beat up. I was reading an article how they tried to open things up and Fields immediately got sacked. He they try to open things up till he revert back to Bears fields.

      I don’t know enough of the position coaches on other teams to say who is worthy of promotion. Best to keep an eye out on head coaches on the hot seat and their staffs.
