Welcome Isaiah McKenzie to the Colts

[TomDiggs]

 

 

At least there's a new addition to the WR room and one that is somewhat able to change direction well 

[ProblChld32]

Ex Bill WR Isiah McKenzie expected to sign with Indianapolis this afternoon per Underdog.

[Scott Pennock]

So there is our slot WR with Pittman and Pierce on the outside. One less draft pick to spend at that position now.

[DaColts85]

I love it. 

[Tsarquise]

Nice!

[ChuggaBeer]

I thought Ballard didn't sign any free agents.   Ok. I got that out of the way.   

 

This tells me he is getting Streichen what he wants because it is a different type of receiver than what we've had in the past   Maybe that was what Frank wanted.  Maybe we'll know once Carloina starts adding WR's 

 

Anyway.  I like it a lot

I like it as well. Adds some nice diversified skillsets too. All of our TEs and WRs are bigger high point type players. McKenzie gives us more of that TY skill set. Stretch the field, work the screens, shifty and fast.

Good player and a Georgia Bulldog !

[lollygagger8]

Hopefully Steichen uses him like Reich was supposed to use Hines. 

[Orioles22]

So, four established receivers now. I expect Ballard to draft one fairly high and then have Strachan and others compete for a sixth spot. I can't remember if we usually dress five of six in games.

  Strachan was picked off our PS at the end of last season as i recall.

  So we need a big and another small to compete for a job.

 This little feller has had some success so that is good.

 6 drops in 65 attempts doesn't read well. Zero fumbles.

[Gigc]

That probably takes Zay Flowers out of the mix as a potential 2nd rounder. Too similar to McKenzie in body type...

Strachan is still listed on the team on the Colts site...

Dont recall Strachan being gone

Strachan is still on the team.

[tvturner]

Good slot receiver, just very inconsistent 

[BlueShoe]

I love this signing. I’m a huge fan of his.

That was Dezmon Patmon. 

[Hoose]

Now for a RG and a CB. 

[AKB]

idk why but i have a feeling Hines would've been used much more effectively under steichen 

 

but i do like this signing.

 It was Patmon that the Bills took.

 I see one of you caught that.

 Maybe Hines does something on offense for the Bills next season.

 His 65% catch rate is good, even with the drops. Do you no more of his inconsistency?

Nice replacement for Paris on paper.  Now let’s see him do it on the field.

Would rather target a RT like Darnell Wright anyhow. Upgrades 2 spots on the right side with Smith moving to his better position at RG. 

[MacDee1975]

I like it.  Keep pushing Dulin down the depth chart where he belongs, and Strachan off of it all together where he belongs.

[Patrick Miller]

I don’t think Strachan has been given a solid chance. 

[philba101]

Keep adding weapons. the more we can get the better!

[PRnum1]

I like that he doesn't get injured alot and shows up to play every sunday !

 

[throwing BBZ]

 If he makes the roster he and Dulin can do the motion that Campbell so often did. Dulin is a plus blocker out of that. This little guy looks to be a relief valve specialist. The avg. depth of his targets was 6.5 last season.

 He had 4.42 speed and a 36 vertical.

 Maybe the drops can come down playing indoors and a little better ball placement. lol

 He doesn't have the success history of Hines in the return game so Buffalo let him go.

I assume you're counting Dulin, who has something like 30 catches in 4 years?  He may be a decent 3, at least that's what we hope.

 

I was hoping for a veteran like Thielen, but that ship sailed.  Probably Strachan's last chance to step up.

Is Pierce even established?  I think we have 2 established WR now.

[RollerColt]

Welcome to Indy, Isaiah! 

[chad72]

He can also do returns, not that Flowers or Rodgers can't handle it but just saying he is an option. Sweeps, wheel routes and reverses, I have seen Bills run those with him. Gadget player with plenty of utility.

[IrsaysArmy]

I remember this guy single handedly blew the game for Buffalo in that Blowout couple years ago

Pierce will end up being wr 1  when all is set and done. Mckenzie is the slot guy
