I don't understand why he didn't just get it repaired/have surgery this offseason. It would be a shame if he deals with this all season long.

He’s stubborn about things as we all know. I won’t mention what else he’s stubborn about which is a touchy subject on here. I’ll just say it’s frustrating for us fans.

Over/under DL retires is 2.5 years.

 

I have the under.

Yea with the reported lack of interest in football, the revolving door at QB, and the chronic ankle issues I wouldn't be surprised.

  The odds are leaning against the ankle holding up over the long season.

 He will play a lot of hobbled football the rest of his career.

Colts sure seem to have a knack of acquiring chronically injured players. Looks like the beat goes on 


Chronically?    Who has been injured chronically?   Campbell, who was never hurt in college, but has been hurt in the NFL.  
 

Who else?    It’s the NFL.   Players get hurt.   And this happens on all 32 teams.   I don’t know why you think this is a Colts problem?

More misinformation.

 

Every player technically gets injured after each and every game that makes them "day to day" or "probable" for the next game. Tom Brady himself has been "probable" for years now, game after game.

I think Ballard's love of drafting players with Achilles injuries doesn't help the optics lol.

It just seems like the Colts have more players on the injury report every week than most any other team does consistently.

Do you actually read the injury reports of other teams when they aren’t playing the Colts?  That’s pretty in-depth research and analysis if you do.

You really don't need to do that.... Just follow

Take a look above. Last year, injuries did not hit us too hard comparatively speaking. 

Since 2009, we have ranked high injury wise. That's likely skewed given Luck missed a few years.

You generally have to if you play fantasy football, and that includes defense if you play IDP leagues.

When I played I didn’t read injury reports for teams.  I read things about players on my rosters provided by the platform. If you are looking to play a TE bc yours is on a bye, you don’t read the injury report for multiple teams.

I always read the injury report for every team. That's how I know if a certain offensive player is out and maybe I would start Tyler Boyd (hypothetically) if Tee Higgins was out. Something else is if Vita Vea is out for the Bucs, then I'd be more inclined to start whatever starting RB is against the Bucs (I usually have 6 starting RBs on my team at all times). I can go on and on like if Jalen Ramsey is out, then I'm starting the no1 Vs the Rams if I own him.

 

There's other scenarios like picking up players on the waiver wire if a no1 or no2 WR or RB gets injured, if you have Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb gets hurt, that means you start Kareem Hunt. These are all baseline examples that apply to all 32 teams, but I'm just naming the obvious ones. Fantasy football is much deeper than seeing someone on a bye week, or an injury, and replacing him with another player. Winning fantasy players dig deep and pick apart matchups to exploit to score the maximum amount of points per week.

I think he’s drafted one,  Dayo. 
 

Blackmon had a knee injury.   Fisher wasn’t drafted, he was a free agent signing.

They don't, it's just a form of confirmation bias

Indy has the 2nd most man games lost since 2009. 

So Colts fans kinda have justification if you look at the cumulative totals 2009-2021. 

2021 though wasn't horrible. We were just outside the top 10 though.

Fair enough.   I hear you.  
 

And I think the graphic that’s now been posted on this thread seems to back up your comment.   Sucks for us but it seems that playing on turf is taking a toll.   Never been a fan of turf, but we play in a dome, so I don’t think we have many options.

Results are a mixed bag. The two least injured teams since 2009 both play on turf. 

 

It be interesting to see if, or how, their S&C differs from other teams. Or if there's simply a difference in turf type.

Thanks for that but I know how fantasy football works. I’m sure some do but I really don’t think most read the injury report of every team or even the majority of teams every week. Enough info is provided to highlight key injuries you don’t need to search out 32 injury reports weekly.  If you say you do then we can go with that. I don’t care bc it doesn’t matter to me.

Oh, it absolutely could be a difference in turf.  Wouldn’t doubt that.  And grass fields have their issues.   We all remember our rash if ire-season injuries last year and people here were going nuts about the grass field.   
 

But, on balance, I believe players prefer playing on grass.   But as long as we have done stadiums, there will be turf.   Not sure that will change anytime soon.

Really?   The Raiders have grass in their dome?   The kind of grass you play on and not smoke?   Really?

 

First I’ve heard of this….   Interesting….

I'm sure there's a vid of it. It slides in and out of the stadium. When not in use for football, it's getting sun on the outside of the stadium. Just can't make this sheet up lol.

Oddly enough, by pure coincidence, my wife and I were in Vegas earlier this week for a couple of days.  We drove past the stadium 4 times.  From the freeway you can see on the right, you can’t see the grass field on the side.   At all.  From the freeway, you can see that there’s nothing there and you guess that it’s a parking lot.  No idea it’s a movable grass field….

Yup. The field is kinda sunk down or has walls/garages around it, or both I think.

 

Crazy stuff though.

    • Loved or liked most Ballard drafts, I think this one may be one of his bests. Couple of posters suggested enough of the nonsense I want wins. Which brings me to my point. What if Ballard has been drafting good, what if it has been coaching? This year we find out. Most of Reich's coaching years we have beaten good teams and lost to bad teams except, Pat's, Steelers and at Jacksonville, we lose here all the time.  All in all, I wouldn't be surprised if we go 6-12 or 12-6. 
    • Yes he did. You are completely wrong. I don’t know why you cannot comprehend the facts of this. Peyton Manning is the reason the Colts are still in Indianapolis. Facts!
    • Well placed source but zero info about what baggage Hopkins had in Houston?   Nothing more specific?   This is how dust gets kicked in the internet with zero information or any clue.   Diggs got traded in the first place because Vikings management couldn't handle the passion he displayed in the field, and they didn't want to hurt Cousins, who is a real diva for someone who would never win a SB and is slightly above average QB. Since they wanted to trade Diggs, Buffalo gave up first round pick. He didn't get traded because Buffalo went after him, as you suggest. If not Buffalo, someone else would've offered a good draft compensation in return.   Both Vikings HC and GM ended up getting fired, and the new staff want to move on from Cousins. Only player among that group who's still focused on winning and is competing in playoffs year after year is Diggs. Lot of Vikings fans were enraged about Diggs then, and fans are now left with only losers at the important position.    Just because Bills GM and HC understand and are okay with Diggs for the way he is doesn't mean the tail wags the dog in Buffalo.   Wow, for a baseless rumor with zero clue about what kind of player or person Diggs is, you have made a lot of manipulated statements.
    • Two things for me.  1- Ballard has widely been considered great at drafting however the results are not there, so as someone above posted, I dont care about draft grades anymore I want wins.   2- Also its impossible to grade this draft right now. If AR is good it will be a success and overshadow everyone else. If AR bombs out it will be a failure and overshadow everyone else lol
    • This is the guy that crapped all over his hotel room during the combine. So probably not the best character guy
