I think West brings a little something to the table. He did some decent work in fill in spots in KC.

Obviously we are not happy with depth at rb or offensive line. Keep bringing in Are we taking a flyer on Foreman, hoping he gets his burst back? Sign him one week, tears bicep, and IR next week. Or do we reach a injury settlement and release the guy?

I would take the bet on the Injury settlement.

I'm not sure. It depends on what they think of him as a person (will he be a hard worker) and how much physical talent they think he has. He might be worth stashing just to see what another year of rehab (Achilles usually take a couple of years to get your explosion back) can do. If he gets his mind on straight. Big if.

The Colts plan to keep Foreman around to learn the system and the team culture. See if he can rebound in 2020.

D'Onta Foreman to remain with Colts and rehab his torn biceps, four-month injury. Colts had plans for him and were bringing him along slowly, but was expected to play an entire half in next game until this season-ending injury occurred. Plan is to rehab for next year with Colts

Ballard has built a culture and it is paying off big for us. Foreman may be the latest guy. It is amazing to watch these young, unheralded physical freaks being molded into NFL players. The high level of play he gets from Autry, Desir, Ebron, Leornard, Cox, Travis, Glowinski-I'm leaving tons of guys out. It just goes on and on. If it were one or two pickup maybe luck, but with all of these guys Ballard is on to something.
