Colts working out De'Angelo Henderson

Colts working out RB De'Angelo Henderson...5'7" 208lbs.

Not sure why?  Loved him at CCU.  Patient runner who hits the holes hard when he sees an opening, but doesn't have breakaway speed.

 

Got a chance late in his rookie season with Denver and became a bit of a fan fav, but got cut due to deep RB class.

 

Think of him as a shorter Mack.  I think this is just Ballard keeping his eye on what's out there.

I think it’s more of an indicator that behind Mack, they’re not happy at RB. Hines did squat yesterday

Maybe they should trade for gordon  lol

Just Ballard bringing guys in in case of injuries. Wilkins should get to play snaps on Sunday. The foot problem ended up being a plate he had when he was a teenager and needed removed. We do need someone because we will run Mack into the ground if we use him like yesterday.

That has been the case all offseason.  Hence the parade of RB's since the offseason.  Still searching for a NO.2.

I also think Ballard knows we shouldn't give Mack that huge of a work load for 16 weeks. So he's keeping his eyes open.

[Colts1324]

I hope we do find a good No. 2. I like what Ballard is doing. 

 

Mack is our sure thing No. 1. 

 

As as for our number 2 back??? It's a big question mark. Could you imagine if Mack went down?! 

 

Hines is our Darren Sproles. He's an RB3 that should play more/less snaps based on the opponent match-up. 

 

We need someone who is a jack of all trades to help wear out the defense when Mack needs a break. I don't see Wilkins as that guy anymore. Apparently either does the Colts Front Office.

LETS GO COLTS!!!!!

I think club is concerned with Wilkins injury, Jo. Williams could be gone soon. We dont have any P.S. rb's currently since Flowers was cut. I liked A.Ware wouldnt mind him being added to P.S.  Jay Ajayi is still a free agent....

Reich is definitely pushing the run game this season so we need a constant supply of healthy backs.

I think you hit the nail on the head...they are not happy with Hines.

They would like to use Hines as KR/PR and spot him at RB but he doesn't seem to do either role well.

Pretty sure this is more about the health of Wilkins and Williams. Hines isn't suppose to be Mack's back up or be the guy that runs between tackles a lot. He's the APB used as a change of pace and in the passing game. Hines is simply a different type of RB/Weapon.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Williams should be back soon also.

[MB-ColtsFan]

I had not thought of the workload on Mack.  I would love to give the little guy a try, but what back do we let go?  That will be the question.

 

Hopefully they wait until Wilkins gets back.  He should be able to help with Mack's snapcount.
