You can certainly be condescending can't you....

 

The fact that McNichols shares the same scat back skill set at least lends some merit to the OP's "gut" feelings....

 

After all, he didn't bring in a "big" back that shares the same skill set as Turbin or Michael and he didn't sign a burner like Mack....

 

So again, it does have some potential traction regardless of your condescending tones...

 

I think it has far less traction than you believe.  I think it has everything to do with what @Coffeedrinker suggested.  I think the fact that he may be more of scat back is immaterial and just the best guy they think is out there.

This particular move has a lot of sentimental value to me.   Our friend Gavin was the biggest fan of Douglas.   He hoped the Colts would draft him and when we didn’t, he followed his career

Best Practice Squad of my 7-years as a Colts fan.     By far!   Great job by Ballard and his staff!

I bet they hope to sneak Delaire and Pipkins in there too.

I may be reading too much into this, but the signing of McNicols and removing KR duties in addition to the PR duties from Hines..... MAY be a show of concern of Hines being a contributor for this team

 

Do you sign McNichols if Hines is a proven commodity?

 

IMHO Hine is too small for work on special teams (if he isnt the actual returner)

 

We kept Ferguson last year......... he saw the field rarely

 

My "GUT" (most of the time correct) says the coaching staff isnt happy with what they

actually got in Hines......

 

I hope I am wrong...... I really do

 

 

I don't believe that.  I've never seen a season we've had where we didn't have an extra RB on the Practice Squad.  I don't think it's an indictment against Hines.  Removing the kickoff and punt return means he isn't ready for those roles just yet.  Same way Phil Dorsett wasn't ready.

The same way most teams carry an extra QB

      I agree with you.  Now is not the time for doing anything that could potentially cause injury.

      Potential/Average/Concern

      By John Hammonds · Posted

      I'm gonna defend @CR91 on this one.   The Colts offensive line has the potential to be a top-5 line.  If everyone plays to their potential.  Their tippy-top. However... Ryan Kelly has already seen his best years.  He's still a stout, capable center.  But let's not fool ourselves.  His trajectory is down, not up.  Nothing wrong with it.  It's just the natural curve of a player who has been in the league this long. Nelson isn't quite the world beater that he started out as.  Yes, he could regain that level of play.  And I hope he does!  But until he does, his level is good-but-not-great.  If we're being honest. Raimann made great strides.  And there's still room for him to improve!  However, my assessment is his ceiling is Anthony Costanzo:  Solid and reliable, without ever making a pro bowl. Will Fries has yet to prove to me that he is truly starter material.  He's the best of what we have at RG, for the moment.  And we just drafted a couple of guys who could challenge him for a starting role -- this year. I love Smith.  He's done everything we asked him to do.  Except stay healthy.   If everything works out, and the line plays to their top potential, they'll be a top OL in the league.  But if we're talking about predictions rather than potential, I see them at the upper end of middle.  Nothing to be unhappy about!  Especially after the debacle '22 season.  But I'm ok with predicting them to be "average".

      They are trash compared to their peers at the NFL level that are also starters at their position. I thought this was obvious. Not sure why you are comparing them to me. Just like I mention with Ballard, they are not competing against me or any "fan", they are compared to other starting TEs at the NFL level. Most of which are better than them. I don't sugercoat things. Any of our TE's would be considered a bottom 5 TE starter in the NFL. That's just a fact. Every team is weak at certain positions. One of our weaknesses is TE, and yes, they are trash relative to the other starting TEs in the NFL.

      imo your post was very realistic and some posters on here just like to call other posters names and make snide remarks to whatever you say, this makes them feel important, I dont respond to their name calling and snide remarks and feed their self importance
