Eric Ebron Injured Reserve

[MarquisJ 380]

 

[SteelCityColt 4,491]

That explains a lot this season. Does make me question if he gets signed, although it might drive his market down. Shame, really good guy that is easy to root for. 

[MPStack 3,630]

I wouldn’t do more than a 1 year deal for Ebron. 
 

Resign Doyle and draft a TE.

I'm not sure I'd want to sign Doyle.   I like him and he's a hometown guy, but he hasn't been impressive this season.  His blocking has been questionable.   

[BleedBlue4Shoe86 660]

He rejuvenated his career here. He loves this place and the fans. I would attempt to sign him for maybe a short deal. Like 3 years. We have the money and are quickly losing all of our pass catchers. Let’s not forget that just last year he had 14 total touchdowns. Guys like that don’t grow on trees. 

[ManningGM 434]

Contrary to the above posters, I hope hes played his last game as a Colt.

1 yr deal or walk. Let’s see if his leaves can regrow again after they all seemed to fall off again this year. Likable guy with tons of talent but this years EE was Detroit’s EE, not the Colts 2018 guy. 
 

as a side note, this opens up Funchess spot.

Wow. Just wow. 

 

 

Frees up a spot for Funchess

[ThorstenDenmark 228]

Luck made Ebron look great.

Brissett made him look average.

 

What we need is a QB that can throw our WR and TE's open. Brissett won't throw the ball downfield, which is a big big problem.

 

Stuff the run and the colts with Brissett is losing the games.

 

Ebron won't return, no matter how he played last season or how liked he is.

We need healthy players that can help our team and show up every god damm game, not injurie prone players.

Why’s that?

[colt18 180]

Man, I really like Ebron even with his frustrating drops. He’s the second best receiver after Hilton here.

 

I wish him luck on his recovery, hopefully we resign him.

[coltfaninnewyork 676]

just breaking news both ankles need procedure.I think that gives a good look at cox before free agency 

[RollerColt 2,785]

And just like that we have even less weapons than before. 

[coltfaninnewyork 676]

Let's get a good look at Cox he's got potential,his chance to show he can start possibly next year 

[Chrisaaron1023 1,937]

woah okay. Good luck Eric. 2018 was fun

[Pacergeek 355]

Ebron had a terrible season. Ballard needs to draft a TE in 2020.

[richard pallo 2,969]

He found Ebron in FA why not another?  I think Doyle was a FA as well.

To be fair, none of our pass catchers have been anything but unremarkable this year.

Doyle I think was an UDFA as well. 

[lollygagger8 3,406]

 

Get better soon dude.

 

 

How are both his ankles jacked up at once though? 

[coltsva 1,793]

Feel bad for Ebron, but one man's injury is another man's opportunity. Gives Mo 5 games (plus playoffs?!) to show what he's got. 

 

Sign Doyle. He's been a reliable receiver, a good blocker, and other than last season, he's available on game days.

Probably has a big problem with one, minor with the other.... Might as well fix both at once in that case...

[1959Colts 1,198]

 

This is from a few days ago... makes sense now.

That is true.  it's more of Doyles blocking that I think has suffered this season, but perhaps that is due to more pressure because the passing game is so little.  

 

I think my feeling is the same with Doyle and Ebron.   If they can sign them to reasonable contracts, I'd like to see them both back.  I think Ebron may want high dollars.   Doyle may give the hometown discount.  

I am anxious to see Cox this year.   

[lollygagger8 3,406]

Here's something to ponder:

 

What if the Colts were in playoff contention, and the playoffs were this weekend? 

 

Do you think they just tape his weak * ankles up and he plays? 

 

Also, they should've kept Hentges like most of us wanted them to! (he could've had Hoyer's spot lol)

To be fair, no receivers have had an impressive season thus far...

 

You could say Pascal but it’s not impressive it’s just improved...

 

Which says this. A QB problem.

[pgt_rob 765]

Could bring back Ross Travis and pair him with Doyel and Cox.

Ebron may want high dollars...

but with his injuries, inconsistencies, drops etc. Will he get a big payout is questionable.

[Mr.Debonair 1,733]

The offensive weapon numbers are down and yet Ebron’s are only his fault? TY before getting hurt was on pace for career lows also

[will426 148]

it’s the qb not being able to throw people open and or throw downfield and the coaches game plan at time

I think he and his agent will be using the 2018 numbers to get a big contract.   There are teams out there who may want to give him the money too.   2019 has been a bit of a down year for TE's as a whole.  

[deedub75 302]

Did he injure his ankle(s) when he kicked in Reich's door asking to be more involved in the offense?

[Patrick Miller 285]

I hope we bring him back..... To play with a new QB.

Yeah because the damn dude cant catch and hes a sorry blocker as well. I think we could find a TE or two in the draft and FA who can catch and block. Ones who dont cry to the coaching staff about getting the ball and then when the ball comes your way you drop damn near every ball.

[Coffeedrinker 3,537]

That's too bad about Ebron, he was playing well the last couple of games and JB finally started looking his way again.  Hopefully he recovers from the procedures and comes back next year.  he was a big addition to the team in 2018. 

 

people talk about his drops, etc and he has had a few but he is still 3rd on the team in receptions and 2 in receiving yards and 3rd in receiving TDs.  He will be missed, especially for a team that is struggling in the passing game.

[CoachLite 425]

Sadly, Ebron accidently glanced at Medusa and his hands turned to stone. If he'd gotten a good look, we could have put him in front of LOS as a statue. So IR was the only option.

[Wentzszn 10,443]

This team can’t catch a break with injuries. Been one of those seasons. Maybe MO gets more opportunities in the passing game now. I would sign Travis. He has been here before.

[Wentzszn 10,443]

He was struggling really bad Thursday night. I wonder if we will see Funchess activated today. Seems like Ebron shouldn’t of played Thursday night. Maybe they were just waiting for DF to heal.

[John Waylon 1,862]

Probably the end of the Ebron era. He seems frustrated. And I can’t say I blame him. He had that big season last season and then Doyle gets healthy and they keep from giving him the chance to keep that level of play up. He has a legit case to move on based on his usage rate this season. 
 

And he also has a legit case to make to some other team that he’s worth a big deal. 
 

I’ve said for a while now that I think he winds up in New England. 

[Wentzszn 10,443]

Ross Travis has been signed.
