At this point, just concentrate on getting him ready for Miami.

o


As badly as we need Wentz to win this game to get our first W of the season, I hope that they just keep him out uniform and let him heal completely ....... and have a long talk with him about self-preservation as an NFL quarterback (although it's not entirely his fault, as the Colts' offensive line has been sub-par so far this season.)


More than a month ago, Jim Irsay said that he didn't want Wentz on the field unless he was at 100% health-wise in relation to him being rushed back too soon after his foot surgery ...... I hope that Jim (and the entire Colts coaching staff) feels the same way about Wentz' latest injuries.

o

On top of that, a moderate High ankle sprain and be rolled again, even taped up, and become a severe one, that would keep him out 4-6 weeks.

Let him heal up...

I hope Eason comes in and lights it up

This team is toast, going on year 5 of Ballards plan on building thru the draft, and this team is still not a contender!! when free agency starts this year maybe, just maybe Ballard might sign a difference maker.

This team is starting to feel like a fucking clown show. They resisted bringing in a vet QB, now 3 games in (and 5 passes by the backup) the practice squad QB is taking the majority of first team reps in practice? The team’s starting QB this week could be one of 3 players? This on an offense who supposedly sucks because of lack of continuity.

It makes sense to start Hundley with this offensive line. If you think Eason has potential putting him in to just be a tackling dummy doesn't make sense. Eason needs confidence and that won't happen if he is running for his life-which he will be if this line continues its putrid play. Eason isn't mobile and would be a disaster behind this line as it is playing now. Hundley can move and protect himself that way I guess. This is depressing. How many QB's is shitty line play going to cost us?

I don't know anything about Hundley's mobility, but Eason is maybe the least mobile QB I've ever seen. He'll get killed back there

it makes zero sense to play a qb based on mobility. you fucking block.


if eason isnt able to be a backup when you need him, he shouldn't be on the team.

this is fucking stupid if hundley plays

Agreed, but giving him the majority of first team snaps Wednesday is fucking stupid if he doesn’t play. Eason desperately needs those snaps.

This is Reich trying to be cute, like a moron.

Just play Eason and stop trying to make the Tits worry about which crappy quarterback they’re facing Sunday.

Really, less mobile than Phillip Rivers?

I say at least talk to the Bills and see what it would take to bring in Trubisky...should've been done before the season started, but if the Colts have any hopes of a post season you can't wait, you have to have a better back up considering Wentz's injury prone history!

Salary cap might make that impossible

Interesting development:

If he’s practicing, no way does he have a high ankle sprain!!

Beautiful. We didn’t stand a chance without him.

Now we have a 10 percent chance. Roughly.

o

If Wentz' mobility is limited because of the ankle injuries, he may be under strict orders to not even try to escape the pass rushes unless it's only a step or two forward, backwards, or sideways (and/or stepping up in the pocket.) And if that's the case, we may get a lot of offensive holding penalties with our blockers knowing this.

If by some minor miracle his ankles are completely healed by Sunday afternoon, disregard everything in my previous paragraph ...... in fact, you may want to disregard it anyway.

I must admit, I was really sour on the guy before the season started, but he's played well and he's a tough SOB if he can get thru this.

Where the hell is Braden Smith? This will be the 2nd straight game he's out injured with a "foot" and "thumb". Is the foot broken? Is it missing? Is the thumb broken? Is it up his butt? I fully expect him to be back for next week against Miami or be put on IR. It seems he got paid and is now stealing a paycheck.

Earlier this week, Reich characterized Smith's foot injury as a strain.

Since the Colts opted to not place Braden on the IR when it happened - they originally thought it would heal up before a 3 week period on the IR. Yes, I would hope that he could be back to practice at some point next week.

Just read that Wentz practiced today and could possibly play on Sunday.... Really?

We need Rhodes back in a huge way for this game The D needs to win this game

His toughness should never be questioned as a Colt. Wentz less mobile. is better thanany backup we have.

Could be the best thing Carson has ever had happen. He knows now (hopefully). Be Phillip. get it out quick or throw it away

Agreed. Wentz has certainly not been the problem and seems to be tough as hell so far.

Wentz has won me over big time. When healthy, he is a top tier QB. His competitiveness is 2nd to none. The only issue I worried about was what a lot of the media and Philly fans were saying, that he may be broken mentally. Well, he sure as hell isn't broken mentally, that's for damn sure.

No doubt and 100% agree!

Well they promote Huntley to the active roster so we’ll see what happens

As for Wentz, I’m not questioning his toughness but he’s bringing some of that shit on himself you gotta get rid of the fuckin ball….. and all I know is Rivers would’ve finished the game. Manning or Luck would’ve finished that game…

No one is finishing a game on 2 sprained ankles. That’s impossible.

The Black Knight from Monty Python would have.....:D

Wentz is starting!!!! Let’s fuckin go!!!

If it was just one ankle, I’d agree, even if it was a severe sprain.

But two? No way. He would have had no base at all. No way to plant.

I don't believe anything the Colts say about injured players.
