With Jonathon Taylor out do you think the colts will still go to the ground game?

Had an alert that Flacco is taking 1st-team reps in practice. Apparently Richardson's hip is still an issue. Seems to point to Flacco starting... if that does indeed happen, cant say if Cam Akers will get decent attempts, but Pittman will be a must start.

Sermon will get 12-15 attempts and a few targets. Whether that gets you 3 points or 15 is the real question.

I put his floor at 5, and his ceiling, without a lucky score, at 8.

So unless someone want to bank on that TD, I would look elsewhere

With Singeltary unlikely to go, and Mayo sending a message to Stevenson, i know this seems like the lesser of 2 evils, but would you rathet have Antion Gibson or Tyrone Tracy???

Gibson without question for me.

I didn't like Singletary's chance with a crap QB and no super stud rookie WR around, I REALLY dislike Tracy's chances.

At least Gibson is a safer bet to not crap out

Just heard this on ESPN Chicago radio... someone asked about Gibson or Rhamadre for the start and it is being reported that Mayo said "i cannot preach about the importance of ball security and NOT do something about it."

I’m starting Gibson in one league.

Don’t know if he’ll start. But he’s going to get plenty of snaps. You can’t ride a guy that puts the ball on the ground every game.

yeah I saw that quote in print as well.

Does that mean he's already decided to do something about it, or is that the not so thinly veiled 'final warning' to Stevenson?

Up until this year he had 7 fumbles in 620 career touches- one every 88-89 touches
this year he's got 4 in 74 touches- one every 18-19

don't care how much anyone likes the guy, that's just not acceptable

Depends on who is QB in IMO.
If Flacco plays, and it seems like he will, I wouldn't bank on it, no
I think the opposite. (or are you saying no to the ground game?) In which case we are thinking the same LOL.
I think if Richardson plays he wont pass much (per usual) & they lean on a running game including Richardson running.
I think if Flacco plays. I wont be surprised to see 30+ pass attempts. He is very comfortable passing plenty.

Yes, if Flacco plays, I don't anticipate a really hard effort at establishing the run.. not with Sermon. Without Taylor, and without Richardson, their WR corp is by far and away their best option to move the ball.

Y'all know Mayo is trying to light a fire under Stevenson's ass, right?

Who's this Hunter kid? All the radio talking heads are raving about him.

Rookies. Bah.
dont know anything about him either, but he plays like 130 plays a game on offense & Defense.
So that means the conversion rate on his NFL mileage will be equal to a 28 year-old when he's drafted.

Pass.
