I remember many comments last year about Jack Doyle being a great locker room guy as well.  After listening to CB's presser it would seem he is a player he is going to want to keep if those comments were true.  We know they are trying to resign him and he is a known commodity they like very much.  It makes too much sense to keep him.  Hopefully no one is drawing a line in the sand and they come together to make it happen.

The Colts appear to be trying.  I'd say it would be a bigger mistake if the Colts overpay him.  While he is a good player he's not a guy you break the bank for.

Doyle is the one receiver that looks to be the only receiver that could remotely fill half of Reggie Wayne's shoes in terms of a go to guy for Luck.  The Colts O has been void of this type of receiver since Reggie went down with the knee.  

 

Moncrief, Dorsett, Allen, Fleener, AJ, Hicks, have all been JAGS to this point...in terms of reliability in getting open.

He's no where close to Reggie Wayne.

 

Hes a good player yes but not a break the bank kind of player.

If you read my comment carefully, I said..... fill HALF the shoes of RW.  And I agree, I wouldn't break the bank.

 

But my point was that he is the second best (most reliably open) receiving option on this team since the RW knee.  TY being the best. 

 

That's more of a statement about the rest of the receiving corps that's been here over the past 3 years than it is a statement about Doyle.  

 

So what is his price for this team?

I would agree that he's worth bringing back for the right price.  What that price is seems to be between five million and six million a year based on speculation about it.  What the Colts feel it is I don't know. 

 

I would also agree that Doyle being the second best receiving option says more about the rest of the receiving core.  It shows there is a problem there. Moncrief was hurt a good chunk of last season and has been good in the past so I would hope for a bounce back year this year.  As Dorrsett this is a make or break year or him IMO.  The Colts really don't have much beyond them though outside of TY. 

 

I've never been big on Allen and didn't like re-signing him last season over Fleener.  He had a good rookie year and hasn't been the same since. 

 

I will say I am okay with bringing Doyle back I am leering of giving guys who have career years in their contract year.  They tend to revert back to their old self after they get their big pay day.  In fairness to Doyle that's hard to judge because he was the number three tightend before last year though.

      If Eberflus was fired by Chicago would you want him back

      I am not a big believer in hiring the so called offensive mind. I believe that is the role of a competent qb coach and offensive coordinator. We are playing a coach in Tomlin who is maybe the best coach in the league and he was a defensive coach. Williams is not struggling because of coaching. They have no run game and he is constantly getting pressured and that is on the GM. They didn't invest in the Oline. They built their receiver group in the draft and through free agency.  A solid Oline would have taken pressure off of Williams. The Colts are actually built well to insulate a rookie qb and give him time to grown.  If you look deep into Fields stats, he is still a bad qb. They are just not putting a lot on his plate, running the ball down teams throats and playing strong D.

      AFC defensive player of the week?

      By Jason_ · Posted

      Apparently it is that hard to grasp. They're the #1 ranked  OL through 3 weeks. Not over the entire season. Not over the course of several seasons. They're #1 right now. They're giving a better performance than the other 31 OL. That does not automatically mean they're playing at an elite level. What if no OL is playing at an elite level?   Imagine you're in school in a class of 30. The class is given a test. You get the highest score with a B-. All that means is you had the highest grade but no one scored a perfect, or elite, grade.    Can you grasp it now or do I need to get out the crayons?

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      I think teams are going to give up the run and force offence to march down the field on a 10 play drive and score. They are going to take away the big play and make Richardson throw intermediate and short passes. The defense believes that he will throw up a pick and/or the offense will stall.  Although,  I dislike the cover 2 defense, it is perfect against a guy like Richardson. The Colts have not shown that they can put long drives together. It is early and it is up to Richardson to make teams attack more. If they continue to run with success and Richardson makes those easy plays.  Then it is a different ball game and it opens up everything. Quite simple actually, lol.  If Taylor is pounding the rock against 4 man fronts because Richardson has improved his accuracy.  Then the D will have to pick their poison. Do you play up to stop the run, short and intermediate passes? Or do they play back to stop the big play? Richardson's evolution, if it happens, will stress the defense probably like no other qb because of his skill set.
