Luck has got to love having a great O-line as well. I suspect a bad line took a couple of years off his career, and I'm not talking about the time he already lost. It will be interesting to see when Andrew starts showing signs of wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 For the Colts fans. Parris Campbell is apparently very, very impressive already in camp. Time will tell....but maybe they have all the wide receivers they need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprinkle in Doyle and Ebron and that is a heck of a group to pass the pigskin to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'd put Ebron, Doyle, and Mo Allie Cox up against any TE group in the league. Allie Cox was huge for us in the last half of the season. Blocking was phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he would but there are a few teams with picks who need one...especially in New England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he would but there are a few teams with picks who need one...especially in New England. A few experts have brought up the idea of trading Ebron for a pick. I think his stats fall slightly this year as compared to last season with Doyle coming back healthy, adding Funchess(big upgrade over Grant), Cain returning from injury, adding Campbell and Moe Allie-Cox being talked about a lot which could keep his price tag in the area that Ballard wants moving forward. With Doyle being a bit of an injury risk, I would keep Ebron. If Doyle goes down again, IMO Cox is not ready to step in as a full time TE where as Ebron can for the most part. Yes Ebron struggles in rush blocking but he excels over Cox in pass catching even though he has the dropsies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Cue the Andrew Luck talk. Held out of practice after player's day off yesterday. To me I don't get the fuss but I know some fans will be concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sold on Cox, def a better run blocker but not better than Doyle or Ebron in terms of pass catching or route runner. Give me one more year of solid snaps for Cox and that may change.

Everyone has been saying calf but some reporter spoke with him recently (national guy) and he specifically mentioned ankle 3x in interview. What I think happened is that while trying not to cause damage to his calf he overcompensated and something is now up with ankle. I don't mind them being cautious but if he isn't out there by Aug 15th something is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Didn't see it mentioned but nice little move by Colts to get Foreman. Guy needed a change of scenery. His not working hard label will certainly come to an end in Indy would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair as well, both are good units for sure. I'd probably take the Eagles, as Ertz is a top 3ish tight end in the league, and there's actually chatter out of Eagles camp this year that Goedert, who is just in his 2nd year, is better. Ertz isn't a great blocker, but Goedert is getting a lot of praise for his blocking, as well as being a threat in the passing game. Edit: Sticking with my pick, as I think the Eagles duo is more dynamic and explosive, though we're splitting hairs at this point as they're both great units, but did not realize Ebron had 13 TD's last year. That's impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
