Injury report

[Fisticuffs111]

Interested to see Okereke in coverage if Leonard can't go. Our LB's kinda got picked on in the first 2 weeks, and Leonard didn't do so well in the passing game. This is a game where I think we're gonna really need a timely INT to flip the field.

Yup, our LBs haven't had the best games. From what I read, Walker is moving over to WILL and Okereke is staying at MIKE. I have a feeling picking on them will continue to be part of the game plan. I'm sure we'll see Speed get some time too.

Who said Walker was moving to Will?  Got a link?

I think he is just honoring is best bud in practice.

Sheard probably won’t go until next week. Leonard is not playing Sunday since he is not practicing.

Like another replied, it was a locker room vid. Local CBS website also reported it I believe. 

He (Walker) also said he'd still wear the earpiece (QB of the D).

Not too surprised.  We've been using him like a rented mule.  Really like to see JB7 be able to take over the offense this week.  We need to diversify if we don't want to use Mack up halfway through the season

20 carries a game used to be what you wanted your Bell cow rb to get.... If Mack is a true number one, 18 to 20 is fine.... He just won't play ten years for certain then...  

 

Just because everyone uses rb by committee now doesn't mean you can't have a bellcow rb.  It's like the NBA, just because people go small doesn't mean you have to, if you can bear them with size....

That's good news.  He was a load v. LAC

[MPStack]

I think if the Colts get to Ryan all will be fine. The Colts should be able to run with success against the Falcons run defense. ST is due for a big play too. Colts win 24-17.

Not sure what your talking about. He will probably be ready by next week.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

There is really no reason to rush sheard back until he is 100%. AQM has played really well in his spot

Hopefully Leonard's concussion doesn't linger too much longer, just for his own sake. Glad they're being cautious with it though.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Looks like Williams will be a go.

When did even Darius get concussed?! Geezuz lol

Not sure. They said he didn’t show symptoms until Monday. He finished the game Sunday.

Running back Jonathan Williams.

I hope Brissett plays well enough that we don't need to spend draft capital on a QB next year.  Because I'd like to see Ballard reinvest in our defense, a deep, strong offensive line and another big, physical running back to flesh our our corps. 

 

Our backs are good, but to my eye they're a little small which is going to hurt their durability.  The line is going to be the thing that keeps them healthy and effective.

 

Thankfully Ballard gets it.  His tenure has already turned the OL from a joke into one of our strongest units.  That's why we're getting penetration on the run game and why Brissett has been able to mostly stay upright despite his issues getting rid of the ball.

[gacoop1]

Hopefully Brisset will perform as a number 1 QB for the Colts.  If the Colts go 5-11, bank on getting a QB in the Draft, could be Fromm

His injury suggests otherwise.  Sports often "used" to do some things that didn't make a ton of sense.

 

One of the big reasons to distribute responsibility among a RB tandem or unit is that it dramatically increases the chances that your running game is relatively intact in December and January. 

 

Simply from a logical standpoint it never makes sense to pin your hopes on a single point-of failure, especially if that point-of-failure is not a worldbeater.  Mack is a fine RB but not an all-timer.  Spreading out the carries and limiting his exposure makes a lot of sense.  We could well need him at the end of the season so there's no sense burning him out now.p

in other, less important news...

The Falcons have signed another punter to replace their injured starter.

That is kind of important if we can get better field position. Was their punter also their kickoff guy?

I think I read where he was. They have Matt Bryant who has been known to have short kickoffs.

Yea they say they will get alot of turnovers. They also say ryan is better than rivers. Statistically  though rivers has been slightly  better  than ryan.

The way the colts report on their “returns” I don’t trust or respect any reports they put out anymore. And the team could care less about what I care about lol. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wonder how many 4th downs the falcons go for with no punter.

[Creekside]

Mack and Hilton are questionable for Sunday.

They'll both be out there, only question is if they're 100% effective.
