Time to bring in hunt or fournette!

[cdgacoltsfan]

Oh boy..positional injuries are like a disease. Once they start...they don't stop. Hopefully Moss will be good to go next week. I like Hull...hopefully it's just a scope and 2 or 3 week recovery. ( look like a cartridge tear)

Fournette?  He's still alive?  I mean ...playing?

[Chucklez]

Deon Jackson cannot be our answer moving forward for the next 3 weeks (assuming Taylor even returns to play for us). He was awful. Yeah the run blocking wasnt great, but even taking that into account, he was just plain bad.

I hope Moss is back next week and ready to play, otherwise we're gonna see even more Deon Jackson for 1 or 2 yard carries.

I'd rather see Funk play after that 1st week perfoemance from Deon.

Moss will be the main answer.  Funk might be promoted to the main roster to replace Hull but I wouldn’t rule out bringing in another vet.

Thinking if Hull goes on i.r then Funk gets called up to the 53 and Huntley elevated on game day.  Huntley avg 42 catches per season his last 3 years at NM state while avg 5.9 yards per carry and posting 2,000 rush yards. Very good speed (4.37 40 yard time) S.S. had him in Philly, we got him last August 9 but he scored a td in prseason.

Jackson is the most experienced player but my goodness what a horrible day he had

Huntley has been released from Practice squad.

 

I like Funk, he can be elevated, like you said if Hull needs an IR stint.

 

Jackson graded out 58/58 in RB grades from PFF.

I’d take another run at Hunt

Depends on what he wants.

 

 

We have between:

$6.9m-$7.8m in cap space currently, depending which site has most accurate numbers. (Usually the $6.9m site, OtC)

Yeah but you and I both know they can magically find more money if they want

Yeah, easily.

 

Just take a restructure/ or extension. Alie-Cox release/trade.

 

Potential options.

Extension:

Stewart(could save a little this year with an extension)

 

Restructure:(if you feel comfortable taking guaranteed monies into future)

Smith(could save close to $10m this season)

Leonard (could save close to $11m this season)

 

Release/Trade:

Cox(would save $5.31m if traded minus $30k a game he plays for us)(would save $2.92m if released)

[Rhodelesstraveled]

Starting trading salary.  Get young and cheap.  We aren't going anywhere

[DougDew]

I think that if we signed Hunt, it would say that we are giving up on JT, which Irsay is not prepared to say at this point.  Based upon likely salary demands and the fact they both see themselves as starters, I think it has to be either Hunt or JT, but not both.  

 

I'm not sure that the previous visit included a bonified offer, or was more about feeling out where Hunt stands.

 So it is your understanding that Cox $4.8M salary isn't fully guaranteed at this time. I thought it is once he was on the opening day roster.

 Leonard is at serious risk of being cut after this season so pushing more  dead cap money down the road would be bad. 

 Grove just might get a new contract in season. He is a bad man.

Good call, I just pulled the number from OtC, not even taking that into consideration.

 

 

Still stands for the trade option.

Im surprised because we need bodies this week and Funk is 100% healthy,Moss must be looking real good then Jackson in emergency if Tyler Goodson isnt up to speed.

Yeah little surprised with Huntley being waived for a new back as well. Since in a pinch he could help out this week. Doubt Goodson will be able to help out this week.

 

Probably weren't planning on bringing either of them up

 

 

Hopefully Moss is ready to roll.

I didn't rule it out bc he played in a 1, 2 punch with Nick Chubb so I could see something like that with Taylor at least this year. But then there's an issue with what to do with Moss

Funk elevated to 53 as i expected, He should get 2nd most snaps behind Moss this week.

[Scott Pennock]

Hunt isn’t signing with us because of the thought of JT coming back and being the clear number 1…..

 

Until JT is traded or activated I highly doubt any RB that is a veteran will sign with the Colts. Moss - Jackson - Funk are our guys until JT is resolved.

Seems so for this week. But if the running game does not improve after Houston, I wouldn't be shocked if they made a move... or, I also believe, we are one injury away from a RB signing

[EasyE]

So who is everyone's bet on RB?

I will guess Hunt. I would rather have JRob but I think he still has health issues. I would love too trade with Jets though. Minshew and JT for Cooks and Wilson... HAHA

I love the suspense...

Was personally surprised to see how bad Jackson was in his debut as a starter. I actually liked his game last year whenever he was used. Idk if it was the pressure, or workload, but man, what an opportunity he blew.

[krunk]

How many weeks will we be without him?

I'm on board.. I heard Fournette is way over weight.. But the bus Bettis was never a fit RB..

I think Hunt wants more than what we want to give. That's is probably why we haven't signed him. I think JRob health maybe more concerning as well with us and other teams. JMO on them.

[EasyE]

If Hull is going to miss sometime that's better news than a season ending injury.. 🙏

[krunk]

If we can get it at some point, having Taylor, Hull, and Moss along with AR will be tremendous.
