If the Colts don't figure out how to protect Luck, he's going to get killed. That OL CANNOT pass block or run block. Also, did you see t-rich whiff on a few blocks in pass protection? You would think a back with his size could hold his own in pass protection, but he looked horrible Sunday night, both running and pass protecting.
Well from what I've read, it looks like IND is in dire need of a short/intermediate safety valve (to replace Wayne). Hilton is a vertical beast but that's about it. I thought Fleener would step up but he hasn't. They just need someone who can run a simple dig/slant and help release pressure.
One major flaw I've noticed with Luck is that he holds on to the ball too long. Hell, my wife mentioned it while watching a game earlier this year. Yes, the OL is bad, but he's not making it any easier for them.
Agreed. He goes through his progressions better than any young QB in the game, but he has to learn to go through them much quicker especially due to this OL being terrible.
I agree but the first knucklehead should be Brazill. If he doesn't cut the mustard then....... knucklehead Rogers.
I agree and rostered him when Wayne first went down.Two Deep said:
My logic is you would think they would exhaust the options that have been in the system longer before they move on to the next option. Until they give Brazill the in game opprotunities that have been going DHB (Drops His Balls), they won't know what he is capable of and therfore cannot cross him off their list.
Not according to this site.
Thanks. Must be thinking of Whalen. Although those aren't encouraging numbers, unless Luck was throwing up some Eli type passes.
That sucks. I wasn't expecting even any targets necessarily, but figured he'd be active.
"predicting"
About time you showed up. The end result will not be in your favor so it's best to get those weak jabs in now.
The fact that he was inactive makes it more likely they had to bring him in or lose him to another team. Otherwise, they would cut him again and put him on the PS. That isn't happening again. He's on the team for good or they lose him. That being said, his ceiling is way higher than than everyone not named Hilton.
This guy has way too much upside to drop in dynasty with Luck at QB. DHB is 100% gone after his 1 year of suckage.
We've got pretty small rosters in the one dynasty league I have him, so that forces my hand more than most. But still, if he can't even get on the field given everything going on right now with the Colts, I will dump without looking back, especially given all his past issues. Not getting on the field now just reinforces my earlier view of him.
You've never heard of teams bringing up PS players because another team was trying to claim them? It doesn't happen weekly or anything, but it's common.
Come on now. I get that he is an athlete. More of an athlete than most fringe WRs in the league. But there is nothing to suggest that he is some hot commodity that they had to bring up or they were going to lose him. Especially that since practice squads started I haven't heard of this happening.
Honestly, I don't know anything about this kid, aside from what I have read. I hope he does well. But it's not looking good, and we are 280+ posts in to a thread about him that frankly, reads like as lot of excuse-making. Things haven't looked particularly good for this kid since Draft Day, and I don't really see how things are changing to make him worth a dynasty spot. Signed from the practice squad, that's good, I suppose. Better than being on the PS, which he has been, available for every team to sign since the season started by the way.
A big part of this hobby is trying to read the tea leaves, figure out what teams think about players, and so on. It's been pretty easy with this particular player, thus far. The draftniks and fantasy football community dramatically overvalued this kid it seems. If I had to guess, I would say that his red flags were pretty dang red. He's been practicing with the team all year, the Colts are down Wayne and Allen, DHB continues to be DHB, and Brazil doesn't seem to be much of anything. Rogers has 'upside'?? 'Opportunity'? Sounds a lot like a lot of other guys in the league that haven't done anything.
I especially like the people congratulating themselves for rostering him, you sharks. That roster spot could have been taken up by a guy that actually plays on Sunday.
Tori Gurley did the same when he was with the Packers a couple year back. He stayed on the Pack PS instead of going to an active roster elsewhere.
If this guy can harness his skills at this level with Luck, I will once again have the dominant WR crew in the league.
