He just needs time. Coming from a very different system. He'll get his timing down. The over-rotation of RBs hasn't helped that development either.


not sure about the “over-rotation”... Hines and Wilkins both played excellent today. I like the rotation. Keep these guys fresh and let JT learn without pressure of being an every down back.

I mean with this years lack of preseason, to learn our offense and a new running style its gonna take time. I also believe they are limiting his carries so he doesn't hit the rookie wall.

We have to give JT, Pittman, and Campbell time to see the field and develop before we make too many judgment's about Frank's play calling, IMO.  The plan is to have their skills on the field at the same time.  Lets see what happens when the plan actually executes.

Hines play distribution should be about 75/25 pass/run.  Its been the opposite since day 1.  We can still line him up in the backfield and throw to him in pattern.  His receiving should then set up his running.  JMO.

I think what he means is instead of coming in for only one run, then subbing out for another RB, give him a full series. When you’re not playing full time, it’s going to limit how good you can be and learn.

Hines has not run the ball well. He's caught the ball well. Wilkins has run well, but it's to the edge, and late between the Ts as usual. 

If you look at our RB snaps and rushing attempts (not catches), we've over rotated vs most teams. I'm sure he had a slow plan to bring JT along before Mack went down, and is just trying to stick to it as much as possible.

Typical but you know how it is. HotRod hasn't missed an ex point all year, just an off day. Do you know what is wrong with Taylor?

I dont think he is hurt. Just Hines and Wilkins playing better today.

I think you're right. I was converted a Indy fan because of Mack but was all aboard the Taylor train after MM went down. But Jesus man, he can't find a hole if it had hair around it...

Weak take.  He's not much yet for sure, bit that means nothing going forward.  If he's struggling to this level next year? Yeah I'm starting to talk bust, with as easily RB skill translates to NFL.... Just because you bought into the hype, doesn't mean he was ever going to fulfill it, and he still may.

    • The team doesn't give up. And we make impactful, game changing plays when it's needed and called upon. 
    • It is too early of a sample size to determine how any of these QB's will turn out. I mean it looks like Stroud is a Homerun but who knows? Trevor Lawrence had a terrible rookie year, now he is good. Peyton as a rookie was flat out bad, yes Peyton who IMO is the 3rd greatest QB of all-time.
    • Just saw the headline over in NFL.com.    Pittsburgh hopes Pickett is back week 18.    He’s having surgery today on a lower leg for a bad high ankle sprain.     Since Pitt is a future opponent and it benefits the Colts I thought I’d post this here for more interest. 
    • Because this thread interests me, and because the two head coaches facing off tonight are safe, let's take a look at how things stand across the NFL with 5 weeks to go:    AFC EAST McDermott - Bills owner said there was zero chance Sean would be fired. SAFE McDaniel - Dolphins in 1st place. SAFE Saleh - Riding with Wilson for so long has warmed his seat. NOT SAFE Belichick - Of all the teams in the NFL, they are one of them... NOT SAFE   AFC SOUTH Pederson - SAFE Steichen - COY candidate. SAFE Ryans - COY candidate. SAFE Vrabel - Bottom of the division but still getting his guys to play hard. SAFE but could be going to NE.    AFC WEST Reid - Hall of Fame here he comes. SAFE Peyton - Huge $$$ contract. SAFE Pierce - The team is playing decent but he's an interim. NOT SAFE Staley - They were supposed to be competing with KC... NOT SAFE   AFC NORTH Harbaugh - Hall of Famer and winning. SAFE Tomlin - Also Hall of Famer and still winning. SAFE Stefanski - Has no QB and is still competing. SAFE Taylor - Just a few years removed from a Super Bowl. SAFE   NFC EAST Sirianni - First double digit win team after a Super Bowl loss since Buffalo. SAFE McCarthy - Has Dak playing the best possibly ever. SAFE Daboll - Giants have recently commented on committing to Brian. SAFE Rivera - The writing is on the wall. NOT SAFE   NFC WEST Shanahan - They just beat the Eagles and are Super Bowl favorites. SAFE McVay - Rams are challenging for a playoff spot and McVay already has a ring. SAFE Carroll - Hall of Famer and fighting for a playoff spot. It's his job until he retires. SAFE Gannon - Rookie head coach who's finally got Murray back. SAFE   NFC SOUTH Smith - The Falcons are in 1st place. SAFE Bowles - The retirement of Brady might be too much to overcome. NOT SAFE Allen - The Saints have looked horrible since beating the Colts. NOT SAFE Tabor - Tepper is not going to go with an interim. NOT SAFE   NFC NORTH Campbell - The Lions are 9-3 and winning the North. SAFE O'Connell - Despite all the injuries the team is still in the hunt. SAFE LaFleur - He's got Jordan Love playing lights out. SAFE Eberflus - Stick a fork in him. He's done and is next to be fired. NOT SAFE   Counting Vrabel moving to New England, that's 10 potential coaching changes / hirings this offseason, which would make 12 total for the season if you include McDaniels and Reich.     
    • Me personally think we are better then the Chiefs. They just have Mahomes and we have Minshew.
