FULLBACK???

[ColtsHappy]

Maybe we should be carrying a beast of a fullback.

 

Comment if you see fit.

We do already....     we actually have two....

 

Their names are Jack Doyle and Ryan Hewitt.     Both often line-up in the backfield as a fullback.

Doyle is on IR. And Hewitt is playing at TE way more often than FB.  Maybe due to injury, idk.

might help on those 4th and 1 situations! ..ill show myself out.

If Reich doesn't feel we can pick up a 4th and inches by going up the gut, then I would say we need a fullback.

Maybe they will put Joe Haeg at FB? They tried him at almost every other spot.

or we could sign Tebow and let him be our FB / 3rd string QB

 You do know it was Luck's decision to hand that ball to Ebron. He had options.
His decision sure looks BAD now. Why Andrew why?

Not a bad idea.

Pats use one. 

And a true Fullback, like James Develin, are usually better at their job than a TE who occasionally gets called upon that role.

I did not know that.   Reich lets Luck make a decision on a crucial 4th and inches call?   That seems crazy.   On 4th and inches, a sneak is the call to make 95% of the time.  Deciding on a TE sweep is something Reich should not allow Luck to make.  

[ColtsHappy]

Just kinda wishing - with the emergence of the OL - that we had a beast of a big power back that could make these 4th and 1's automatic. That's all.

Marlon Mack is yet another disappointment in the backfield.

He definitely can't run on good defenses, and we can't run at all without Ryan Kelly at C. I wish we would go back to what was working in that two game stretch where we ran the ball extremely well. May need to sign an RB in FA or draft another one next year.

I disagree.   I think Mack is very good.   Reich doesn't call many running plays.  I think Mack would be a 100 yard rusher if he had 22 rushes per game.

I agree with this. Which begs the question, why aren't they using him more?

yea i have to agree, how do we know what kind of runner Mack is if Reich only gives him carries "sometimes", 52 pass attempts is crazy.

[Yoshinator]

I don't mind if they use Mack less against top run defenses, as his YPC is lower most of the time, but they just abandon the run in those cases. At least mix in Hines and Wilkins more, and especially use them all in the passing game. They all can catch the ball decently, and Hines is great at it!

I always wished for the Colts to sign Kyle Juszczyk lol.
