I wonder if he was trying to see if there was anymore interest. We had 7 dressed Sunday we could add him without putting fountain back on the PS.  

Yeah, that's kinda what I was thinking. He was trying to find a job on someones 53.

I thought originally he'd stand a good chance for PS spot, but IIRC was a bit banged up in camp. 

Glad he's back, if he is back.

 

I still want to see Fountain and Dulin get a shot at snaps over MJ. We know exactly what MJ brings, and I think we need to see DF and Dulin in some action. We already know Dulin brings great ST upside.

I hope Reich removes Hines from returning punts.   We have allot of capable WR's who could handle those duties.  

Why would you remove a weapon  like that on punts. Hines might get some work in the slot with Paris injury. Nick said today Zach would be moved to the slot but it will be s collective effort.

I'm just thinking of injuries.   We are thin at RB.

I also think we'll see Hines catching more balls out of the backfield and would hate to lose him.

I disagree.

 

We've seen Hines have a ton of touches on offense in Week 1 and none in Week 2, so his need to contribute to the offense isn't going to be as consistently high as TY, Pittman, JT, etc.  He's definitely a playmaker for us on offense, but part of his strength is in the PR game and I don't think it makes sense to pull him out of the position that he's arguably most dangerous.

 

Just a solid PR can affect field position and a dynamic one can completely flip the field.

The fact he couldn't even stick to the PS initially though is a bit concerning.

Tough to know the circumstances. I too thought once he was cut he would of been added to PS. Maybe he tried to get some run on a teams main roster.?

 

Either way I'm not to concerned about it, because even if the team didnt elect to bring him back over a couple other guys, that doesn't take a way from his ability. Mainly means that our depth ahead of him is  better and we're still fortunate to be able to bring him and his experience with us back and improve our depth even more.

Like I said, like him, and happy he is back. He was obviously one of the last cut. 

 

I do want to see guys like Dulin, Fountain, and Patmon get a shot at reps though, before bringing anyone else up from the PS.

They definitely should get the shots first.

 

Johnson just a really good fall back option.

I have a feeling that he wanted a active roster spot somewhere and/or a older PS WR wasn’t needed

I was surprised when Matt Taylor said Dublin might be the fastest guy on the team. 

Mixing snaps with  Dulin and Pascal could offset the Campbell loss.  Different players, but Dulin may offer the big play potential that Campbell brought.  
Pascal, Dulin, Fountain, Johnson, and Patmon.  There is potential there.  We just really need them, and Pittman to develop quickly.

But i like the potential.

He's about as good as you can get for the PS. I love the new rules that allow a few players with unlimited years.

The new PS rules make a ton of sense. I suspect some variation will be retained once the NFL world returns to “normal”.

I hope so. Always hated the accrued years rule. Don't get me wrong, I like the PS as a means for development of young guys, but if you're also going to use the PS to augment the team, should be able to keep vets too.

    • Nice mock. Most of the players you took, end up with the colts in my mocks,too. Really like it!
    • Does anyone really think that Chief roster is good enough to make the playoffs minus Mahomes? I don't. If it weren't for mahomes, their running backs would scare no one. They would have one reliable pass catcher who be be able to make plays(Kelce). And there defense would suddenly look very ordinary and wear down from an offense that would go three and out way to often(think our offense with Matt Ryan and his ability to not throw the ball downfield). When you have a qb the caliber of Mahomes you can do things differently because Mahomes makes everyone else on the team look better. Question, how many superbowls did Reid win in his career before Mahomes became his qb?
    • Nice mock.  Don't have anything negative to say about it.  Would be happy if Colts got these players.
    • In this mock, I drafted defense early, then went with best fit / BPA approach.  Mitchell helps solidify the CB room.  Cooper is compared to The Maniac (that would be awesome if true).  Jenkins for depth on DL.  OC from Wisc to replace Kelly in a year or 2.  I'm a fan of UofL Cardinals, so had to pick Guerendo.  And Ford would replace MAC while on a rookie contract.  What do you guys think?   15. Quinyon Mitchell, CB Toledo Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 195 lbs |RAS: 9.84 Strengths - Can click and close and undercut passes in an instant with his elite recovery speed - Proven ball-hawk with six interceptions and 37 pass breakups over past two years - Energized short-area mover with torrid foot speed and effervescent corrective twitch - Adept processor in off-man and zone, who can instantly trigger on route breaks - Has the frame, targeted physicality, agility, and fluidity to dictate reps in press-man - Has the versatility to play the boundary or the slot in man, off-man, or zone coverage Weaknesses - Doesn’t quite have elite fluidity and sink when bending to close ground on hitches - Can be baited into making premature hip transitions by nuanced WRs at stems - Relatively inexperienced in press-man, and can improve upper-lower synergy - Can keep shoring up his tackling form as a support defender   51. Edgerrin Cooper, LB Texas A&M Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 230 lbs |RAS: 9.34 Linebackers who naturally, and consistently, make plays, are impossible to replicate. They can run a 4.7 40-yard dash and still be valuable because they process information at lightning speed and are innate playmakers. Edgerrin Cooper is that player, but with outstanding athleticism and length. That length allows him to wrangle ball carriers with an incredibly high hit rate. He knifes through blockers and consistently makes plays around the line of scrimmage, while also providing a bump as a pass rusher. Dalton Miller   82. Kris Jenkins, DT Michigan Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 299 lbs |RAS: 8.92 Being the son of a former NFL All-Pro, it’s no surprise that Jenkins has some of the most enthralling tools in the class. He’s an incredibly explosive athlete off the snap, both laterally and vertically, and has suffocating strength at the point of attack. Going further, with his burst, twitch, and mass, Jenkins can levy impressive amounts of power into his attacks, and as he trends up with his hand usage and energy efficiency, it’s exciting to think about the potential that remains unearthed. -Ian Cummings   103. Jermaine Burton, WR Alabama Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 196 lbs |RAS: 9.54   117. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S Texas Tech Height: 5 - 10 |Weight: 197 lbs |RAS: 8.87   151. Tanor Bortolini, OC Wisconsin Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 303 lbs |RAS: 9.79   158. Javion Cohen, OG Miami (FL) Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 324 lbs |RAS: N/A   202. Isaac Guerendo, RB Louisville Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 221 lbs |RAS: 9.98   219. Brevyn Spann-Ford, TE Minnesota Height: 6 - 6 |Weight: 260 lbs |RAS: 7.58  
    • I've seen talk in Colts forums (not just this one) that says the Colts need to stack talent and not just picks.  So this mock addresses that strategy.  Traded back a few times to get 6 picks in the top 85.  Opinions?   26. Adonai Mitchell, WR Texas 54. Trey Benson, RB Florida State 56. Ruke Orhorhoro, DT Clemson 57. Payton Wilson, LB NC State 82. Max Melton, CB Rutgers 85. Will Shipley, RB Clemson 234. Prince Pines, OG Tulane 2025 DAL 6th   Didn't realize I had drafted 2 RBs until done, so, probably wouldn't have done that.  But Shipley was the best talent available at that pick.  And he is a great receiving RB, which could've helped vs Texans in the last game.
