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.

    • Happy Draft Day to the folks who are in Indiana! (And east coast) lol. If this actually happens today I don’t know what I would do. Pipe dream or not, I’m READY for this draft to start! 
    • Ok, just so I'm reading it right.  You are saying that I responded to another poster by mentioning RG in passing, as a means to bait a lurking you into starting a debate about RG vs CB, for which you feel justified doing because I mentioned RG and Luck's history.   Why don't you just stick to the possibilities of why Ballard might want to draft an olineman high?  That's what I did.
    • Its not even a serious counter, because there was never a tie in made that suggested his injuries were caused by a porous oline in the first place.  That was a tie in made to try tp point out Moose was wrong, when he didn't even tie the two together.  They were separate sentences.   Built into the idea that AR should be protected better is the appearance that AR may be fragile, based upon the situations behind his injuries.  AR was injured.  Ballard may want to protect him better.  The issue of possible fragility is built into it, IMO. is how I read Mooses comments.  Not that it was because of the level of oline protection.
    • Kirk did have the Vikings at the top of the division in the 2022 season at 13-4. He was injured last year. Oh well have fun with your new QB.    You act like I don't know Vikings football, comical because I like the team and follow them a lot. You and @NFLfansay Kirk doesn't know situational football. In 2022 he was the best situational QB in the league. Vikings were 11-0 in games decided by 3 points or less. It is because Kirk handled most situations right. You don't go 11-0 in games 3 points or less and not be a smart QB. 
    • Maybe I am the one who will end up with egg on his face but I just don’t get why people think the Colts are actually going to draft an olineman with their first pick.  Nelson and Kelly returned to their pro-bowl playing status.  Raimann looks to be a very good young left tackle and the Colts have made it pretty clear they see Smith as one of the most underrated tackles in football.  They aren’t drafting a right guard in the first round, Nelson was exception, and even then Fries held his own at right guard last year.  They aren’t going to draft a guy who isn’t going to start next year either in the first round.  The starting oline is probably the least of their worries going into this draft.
