What's Indy's RB situation looking like? I know Addai is a FA, but do they expect to bring him back? Backfield seems like it may be a bit crowded with him, Donald Brown, and Mike Hart. And they drafted Syracuse RB Delone Carter. Hope Evans can make the cut.

Indy is not a power running team, that worries me. Their backs normally use their hands a lot and DE will have to adapt fast. They have Javaris James that will be in the rotation. Also they have Mike Hart and Donald Brown. Addai is a FA so he may not be there this season...

Nice. good info TAE!

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Graves, Friday, Adibi, Brown and Carmichael all in Houston. Too bad their QB is a scissor head.

 

[HokieGhost]

Darren Evans, Andre Smith, John Graves, Davon Morgan and Beau Warren may all get NFL contracts very soon./QUOTE]


All the guys you referenced above signed or will sign an FA contract along with Saunders. Not bad! Hope they can all stick!

Thats great our guys are being picked up. Evans will fit in well at Indy. He is a good pass blocker and good hands out of the backfield. Morgan has the tenacity to fit in as a Jet and Andre is a steal for the Bears. Good run blocking tight end and great hands for play action and the red zone. Awesome fit for the bears.

i know the colts system isn't conducive to putting up great stats as a RB, but that being said, the colts running backs aren't very good either. addai is a has-been and the others are mediocre at best. if evans out practices the other guys, i can see him getting legitimate playing time there

 

[Lumbee09]

Biggest thing for Evans in that system is going to be if he can do well pass blocking and picking up the blitz. Also, his hands out of the backfield.

good info, glad all these guys can finally stop waiting in limbo and get on with it

 

[ACC_HOKIES]

So happy for these UFA guys. IMO, they were hurt more than anyone in this lockout. It's great that they are finally getting their shot.

Not sure you watch the same DE as me, he does not have very good hands.....

 

[NickVT10]

From what I remember he wasn't bad out of the backfield into the flats. Might be mistaken though.

 

[HokieGhost]

Chris Hazley also signed a Free Agent contract....with the Bills.

Jeff King to Arizona, will get to play with Ryan Williams.

Awesome thanks! From walk on to NFL starter. Not bad for a kid who was too small and too slow. (Even though he is a lot faster than people think)
