Phillip Lindsay may play Thurdsay night....???

[Bolt Colt]

If Taylor is not able to play, Indianapolis would likely increase the role for Nyheim Hines.

The Colts might also turn to veteran running back Phillip Lindsay, who has spent the first four weeks on the practice squad. Born in Denver, raised in the Denver area and a star at Colorado, Lindsay first made the Broncos as an undrafted free agent and became a local sensation by rushing for more than 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons playing for his hometown team.

Let Johnathan rest. Between has ankle and turf toe don't make it worse.

Give Lindsay a shot and target Hines out of the backfield more.

The problem with that is that Lindsay would probably not play until the 4th qtr and Hines will get stuffed up the gut every snap.

I hope he doesn’t because that means Taylor doesn’t go but if Taylor can’t go he’s logical replacement.

[Lancer1]

The Dolphins rushed a likely already concussed Tua into a 2nd game within 5 days, and ended up losing him for the forseeable future - if JT's ankle is in any way sore, I let him rest & stay off if (in game action) until  our home rematch with Jacksonville on the 16th.

No Lindsay!

 

Hines up the middle all night!!!

I'd prefer if JT can go, but I wouldn't be upset if Lindsay got the RB1 carries if he can't. I'd take Lindsay over Jackson getting JT's carries any day. Lindsay can at least get skinny through small creases, which is just about all our OL is opening right now.

Actually you’re more likely to see Deon Jackson, Phillip is in the PS so unless they waive someone to bring him up (which likely won’t happen) Deon Jackson will see a fair share of Carry’s.

They DON'T have to waive anyone to bring up Lindsey from p.s (He hasnt been brought up yet so has all 3 call ups left). Cant see club going to Jackson for carries in anything but garbage time. Was dead last in NFL last year in ypc at 2.4 and this year he has regressed down to negative -1.5. He is a special teams player only.

Its not like the Colts are going to do anything. just being realistic... 

[DougDew]

Once again, Ballard added another fast, straight ahead runner in Lindsay.  Sorry, don't expect many different play calls.

 

That's our vision of a running game, especially when so much money is invested in this oline construction. 

 

Yawn.

 

We have the starting straight ahead runner, his backup, and the backup's backup.  All are the same guy...they just get smaller as you work your way down the depth chart...like nesting tables.  LOL

You CANT call anyone up if there isn’t a roster spot available. If you didn’t already notice Patmon was waived to make room for Chase. So how Exactly do you expect them to call him up when we do not have room on the 53 man roster?

You get three elevations a year for practice squad players where they don’t count against the 53.  That’s how the Colts have called Chase up the past three weeks.

If JT is not a go (and if it were up to me, I’d assume he cannot be 100%, so I’d sit home the extra week), I hope Lindsay is the JT replacement.  I honestly think he would be a more effective runner than Hines. (I have just totally soured on Hines … I had felt he needed to be used as a slot receiver and periodic gadget runner, but now I just think he‘s a lightweight talent tease that is paid way too much of the salary cap.)
