I think he is related to Roy Hall the HOF wr for the colts. I remember with great fondness on this forum there were two or 3 players that we/some had high hopes for I think there was a rb and maybe someone else not sure. does anyone remember those days?

Mack Turbin Michael. Not bad

 

 

That better not be what Ballard plans to roll out on the field at RB this season.  Our number 1 RB has yet to be drafted hopefully.  Michael can battle it out with Ferguson to see who gets cut or sent to practice squad.

Give me Penny in round 4.

What's wrong with Mack?

Hades, the Colts could have signed AP in his prime and you would have found a problem with it.

I’m not exactly sure why. We’ve got Mack and Turbin returning. They say Jones is in the future plans, and we will likely draft a RB at some point. 

 

He didnt really bring anything to the table last season. 

He was on IR last season. Kind of had to have any numbers. Just saying.

I like Mack just not as our number one.  I see him more as a nice complimentary back who offers a change of pace  and brings some speed to the table. Perfect for splitting carries, the occasional home run TD and keeping our primary back fresh. Also Mack's blocking skills aren't where they need to be right now for me to feel comfortable with him being the primary back.

 

I prefer a more grind it out style runner with solid receiving and blocking skills as our number 1.   Hopefully, Ballard will be able to add a runner with that skill set through the draft.

That's right.

Ballard is fielding a 90 man roster. It's as simple as that.

One of the best Christmas movie's ever made man. I love that scene when Will Ferrell tries to hug that raccoon & gets attacked. It's so stupid it's hilarious like the bunk bed scene in "Stepbrothers".

Hey southwest, what do you think of my mock draft I put up earlier today? Not sure if you looked at it.

Yeah, I know I said I was done with my holiday shenanigans, but I must say we'd all kick caboose on Jeopardy questions about Christmas film facts. 

 

What was this thread about again? Oh yeah, Christine Micheal. Welcome back I guess. I don't really get excited over 3rd string backs. He was probably inexpensive so, I'm cool with it.

He will have a chance to show why he was brought in last year

You're right JC. I haven't gone there yet. I promise I will though since you're 1 of my favorite posters. I assume it's under NFL draft stuff right?

Yes, it's my own personal mock draft. Not under the general one with mock drafts.

I'm hoping Robert Turbin takes a leap forward this yr coupled with Mack. If Micheal shows me he's elevated his game, that's icing on the cake. I'm not rooting against Micheal specifically. I just don't anticipate being blown away by him.

I'm a man of my word Jared. I'm going to your mock now. I'll probably go to your profile page & find it that way. 

 

Looking forward to reading it actually since you aren't afraid to think outside the box when necessary.

 

Disclaimer: SW1 isn't as smart as you & krunk are when it comes to drafting day 1 game changers. Please keep that in mind. See ya in a minute...

[Valpo2004]

I don't see him as a lead back but he could contribute.

Exactly. It’s still not making a ton of sense that we’re bringing him back. Turbin is back, Mack should be the starter (I’d be surprised if we didn’t draft Guice now) and they still keep talking about having plans for Matt Jones. 

 

If we’re looking for warm camp bodies I’d rather look elsewhere. We have a rough idea what we might get from Michael, and that ceiling is pretty low. May as well kick the tires on some UDFA and see if one of them turns into our own Arian Foster.

With a 90 man roster I think he will get a chance to prove himself. If not he will be gone.

  Chiefs | Damien Williams inked by Chiefs    Thu Mar 22, 02:23 PM

Free-agent RB Damien Williams (Dolphins) signed a one-year, $1.5 millino deal with the Kansas City Chiefs Thursday, March 22. Williams is expected to miss most of the offseason as he is recovering from shoulder surgery. The hope is that he will be ready for training camp.

I'm thinking that "expected to miss most of the off season as he is recovering from shoulder surgery" scared the Colts away. Otherwise, this is a very Ballard-like signing.....I didn't realize he had major surgery. I really wanted the Colts to sign him.

You don't understand, with under 3 min to go in the 4th quater Michael's ypc is 5.6 after contact when the ball is spotted on the 36 yard line or better. Only Ballard see that. All hail the mighty BallardBall! Facts!

Why? He was put on IR last season for a reason. If the Colts were not interested in giving him a chance he would have been gone long ago.
