GoColts8818 Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 He just has to not fumble and average 2 yards a carry to be better than the guy he’s replacing. If he gets any handoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I meant they'd get Jackson on PS back if he clears waivers... I think they like DJ too, but as Steichen has worked with Sermon before, he thinks he could utilize him in games in some way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoose Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 They don’t trust DJ with a potential monsoon and his recent fumbling issues. They’ll most likely resign him to the PS and keep him around for insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another Jonathan Williams 1 hour ago, NewColtsFan said: Seriously? An undrafted free agent who was never more than third string, otherwise a practice squad guy. A RB who only played because Taylor is holding out and Moss broke his wrist. Otherwise…. the main counter argument that pops into my head is the slot he's been holding. (and that maybe we didnt sign "x" guy because we were fine running with deon for a game or two (like last year)) opportunity cost i suppose? in a RBBC type of situation, you need all of your backs to be pretty good at atleast one thing, and im not really seeing that from Deon, glad we moved on. We also should move on from Baker Jr, and I think Cross's snap count should go up. (Rodney Thomas hasn't had the best start either imo) but anyway, the only thing I can think of in terms of Deon being a waste of resources was the amount of time he kept a RB slot, we did draft Hull, unfortunate he took that injury to his knee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. I was arguing against the idea that “Ballard and his scouts deserve a D- for all the time and energy invested”. 100% silly. Just nonsense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe bring Darius Rush back in the fold somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was dead last in yard per carry in the league in 2021, was second to last in 2022 and is last in 2023. He couldnt block ,couldnt take care of the ball and certainly couldnt find a hole. He made Trent Richardson look like a HOF back in comparison. He was bad in college at Duke so there was no reason to think he would become good all of a sudden and he did not. I think with work he could become a reliable backup in the XFL/USFL merger league but both leagues had talent down there so doubt he would start/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
