On a side note, I would like to see Hines in the slot as long as Inman is out, and maybe even after his return.

I don’t think rb1 next year is on our roster.

I'm curious about your thinking behind this comment - since, as Sherck pointed out, there don't seem to be a lot of free agent RB1 candidates, do you think Ballard will go the Bell route? Or use a high draft pick on a RB?

We just need another Gore type that can get those tough yards and move the chains. Hines and Mack at times can pick up big chunks but when you absolutely just need to pick up the first down on short yardage or punch it in from the goal line there isn't much confidence in what we have. Hopefully Ballard finds that guy.

I love watching him just maul folks when we run....but his pass blocking has come a long way this season as well.

Nelson / Smith / Glowinski, a three headed Colts MVP for this season! :)

Walk Worthy,

I've come to believe Kelly is the most important piece. The line has missed him a ton! IMO

I could be way wrong on this.

You are likely correct.

Yup, I think Hunt is the likely choice, followed by Bell.
Hunt is younger, will want to rehabilitate his image, and can be had for a much lower price tag, and *might* be a better scheme fit.

And assuming his options are basically a 1 year deal around league minimum, the Colts are an appealing choice with Luck and this OL.

But it was used to justify claims that he's turned his back on his tempamates. I just think he's too expensive and the money would be better used on defense and to get another top receiver. Quality running backs aren't tough to find and he will be n the downside of his career soon.

By the way it was reported today at The owners meeting that the cap will go up around 10 million next year.

That is pretty tame compared to the statements some of his teammates made.

They all should have a role but I think we have 3 situational guys at rb. I imagine we use a committee approach next year so it probably won’t be a big name.
