Colts reportedly could be all in on D.J. Fluker

[TheMose]

Along with 4 or 5 other teams including Seattle who has brought him in for a visit. I'm all for O-Line help but he was part of one of the worst lines last year. Not sure how I feel about him. Regardless, the competition would help

[Fluke_33]

yeah.  that's a jersey i would have to buy.

I wonder why. lol

He's always been an upside guy that had the physical traits and flashed some technical ability. I just don't think he's been able to put it together at the NFL level. If nothing else, he could be a depth/project player for us. I wouldn't give him much of a contract though.

Very true. He was a first round pick for a reason. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him in on a cheap prove it deal. If he could find his feet here in Indy, could be a sneaky good signing.

I could support this.  If the price were right, he'd be an upgrade.

I'm beginning to think the phrase 'all in' has changed meanings since I was a kid.

This could be nice

Kinda like Castoff

[bananabucket]

Um maybe I'm thinking of someone else, but isn't Fluker atrocious?

 

Edit: I think it was someone else. There was someone constantly drawing the ire of Giants fans and I thought it was Fluker.  But I just checked and they seem to want to keep him around.

Not my choice of words, I got it straight from the report. Lol

Not bad but hasn’t lived up to hype

[PeterBowman]

where's the link? sorry at work and really can't search much

[krunk]

Well hes probably better than anything we have on this roster right now on the right side. Rumor is probably true as Reich was in San Dan Diego I believe when Fluker was there.

If we get him and Jensen, then the O-Line will finally start to take shape. Fluker would be an upgrade at RT. Then Nelson could fill out the line completely.

If they bring him in, then he will be playing G probably RG

Didn't realize that, my apologizes.

I completely forgot about that.

1. I'm at work on a Government computer so I can't attach the link. And I apologize, the wording was not "all in" the statement was "Giants, Dolphins, Cardinals, Seahawks, and Colts could all be in the mix for D.J. Fluker"

Yeah, SD switched him inside a year or two ago (then the Giants played him all last year inside) just doesn't have the feet to keep up with speed but he is usually a sound run blocker.  My opinion, he would be a filler until a drafted guy develops.

Funny.

The reason I brought that up, at all, was because your post was like the 3rd to use that phrase in the past couple of days, and in all three cases, the use of it was kinda odd.

You're probably thinking of Ereck Flowers. But Fluker isn't great, either...

[w87r]

Definitely a speculative add. The SD connection is there, with Reich and our OC.

 

Have to admit, not to much action but most of everything we are hearing right now is work in the trenches.

[John Waylon]

I’m not holding my breath, honestly.

Part of that is misleading since he had the next big thing hype coming out of Alabama

Wiki is actually listing Fluker a a Guard now. Did he swivh positions? Are we actually looking at him as a Guard instead of RT? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._J._Fluker

[The Peytonator]

Pretty sure he could barely push Vuj for a roster spot based on his time with the Giants but maybe last year was a fluke....

 

I’ll see myself out.

Where is a report stating the Colts could be all in on Fluker?

 

His oline coach from the Giants is now in Seattle... I'm guessing he will go to Seattle.

[cdgacoltsfan]

Most of the current starting players on our roster are depth players on any other team. Here's a novel idea..how about spending some money on a ledgit difference maker that would be an actual starter on another team. We have enough "depth"

I'm so glad everyone remembers the ALL IN dude.  If there was a top 10 of the best run-on jokes for the forum, that would be near the top somewhere.

Fluker can't play RT..,   He doesn't have the feet...   the success he's had has been at guard...   I'd love to have him anyway..

 

(Now watch us sign him to play tackle!)

[NewColtsFan]

I hope over the next few days we sign Jensen AND Fluker PLUS Autry AND the Dallas DE,  Mayowa.

 

That would jump start things.  O-line and pass rush.

 

By the way and not for nothing but RSPN rates Autry as the 4th best DE in this class.

 

[BProland85]

Meh...he played for an awful Giants OL last year.
