Smonroe Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 He’s on the PS. His career has been riddled with injuries. I remember the year he played for the Buckeyes, and he was outstanding. Admittedly he had a great Oline, but he holds the all time single game rushing record for my alma. When you consider the RBs that have played there, that’s pretty impressive. If he’s healthy, he’s better than Funk or Jackson. Big IF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a favorite of mine when he came out in 21. I’ve been surprised he hasn’t had more success. He’s been with two good franchises, SF and Philly. Hoping now with Indy, the third time is the charm. And I know he could easily get cut tomorrow, or later this week or next week. There’s a lot of roster churn going on right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe CB wanted to see how Moss looked? Either way I think Hunt may now like going back to Cleveland right now? Just a hunch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Pennock Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 It’s not about money folks…..neither Hunt or Fournette would sign with the Colts to play backup to JT. No true “name” veteran would sign not knowing what was going on with JT….. Having said that, Sermon has some ability and I think he’s likely better than Funk, Jackson and Goodson (on the PS) and he runs angry from what I recall…..plus there is some comfort level with Steichen I’m sure since he spent last year in Philly 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After setting the all time Ohio State single game rushing record with over 330 yards, he ran for nearly 200 yards against Clemson in the playoff game. Then got hurt at the start of the championship game against Bama. I'm not sure if he ever came fully back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been saying for years how bad Jackson is,,worst yards per carry in NFL 2021,second worst 2022 and currently last in 2023. Numbers dont tell all the story but they dont lie. Bad hands as we saw ,no blocking. Up until this year some defended him that stop this year when it became so obvious. Wish him well where ever he lands thinking XFL/USFL which is merging for 2024.

You want to bash Ballard for draft picks or guys counting on to be full time starters that didn’t work out have at it. Bashing him for a fringe roster player who was an undrafted free agent that was released after he made the roster for more than one year comes across as unrealistic expectations in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
