But as far as Mack goes..... Old Man Gore would have made this offense a lot better than what Mack does

Probably, I miss his always get 3 yards grit. Mack has the ability to get much more, or much less. I was hoping Turbin could fill that wear them down roll, but then the Peds thing and post peds sucked.

Not the most overrated, but certainly not the solution for RB.

Ask not for whom the Bell tolls, it tolls for the Colts.

I am very concerned about his attitude and devoting that much of the salary cap to RB....

...but there is no denying how much he could make this offense click. His threat out of the backfield is incredible, he is a great blocker and he is one of the top five RBs in the league rushing.

It would be THE big free agent splash this year but it could be huge for the Colts in 2019 and beyond.

I am not begging for him but if he comes, I will not be disappointed. We have an O-line now that can both pass block and run block. We are ahead of where I thought we would be so adding an elite RB is now a good time to do so.

Hilton, Inman, Cain, Fountain along with two drafted rookie WRs, our TE group (Doyle, Ebron, Swoope, Allie-Cox) along with Bell, Mack, Hines, Wilkins at RB? Use one low round pick on depth O-Line and the offense is set.

Use the other 5 draft picks on defense along with perhaps one defensive free agent stud.

See, I could be a GM!

Walk Worthy,

And, just as an update to those of you who do not mind seeing the PFF scores on players:

OC:
74.0 = Ryan Kelly = 7th highest rated OC in league
67.8 = Evan Boehm = 14th highest rated OC in league

OG:
72.1 = Quinton Nelson = 12th highest rated OG in league
71.8 = Mark Glowinski = 14th highest rated OG in league

OT:
69.4 = Anthony Castonzo = 30th highest rated OT in league
69.0 = Braden Smith = 31st highest rated OT in league
68.0 = Le'Raven Clark = 39th highest rated OT in league

Neither Joe Haeg nor Josh Andrews have played enough snaps to be ranked but both of their scores (62.1 / 60.5 respectively) are NFL average scores.

Whatever we are paying our O-Line coach, we should double it for 2019!

What a change.....what an improvement.


Walk Worthy,

I'm don't get why everyone thinks Bell's attitude is so bad. What about the attitude of the team? Keeping franchising a player who is one play away from making zilch next year shows that they don't give a crap about him as a person yet we all think he should be willing to sacrifice his physical and financial well being for the team. It's a business and when you cannot play the NFL doesn't give a crap. We traded Unitas for 'future considerations' after all he did for this team. Worse look at how much 'help' the Steelers gave Mike Webster whose brain was destroyed playing for these guys with what probably was the perfect attitude at the time. On the field Bell gives his all. He is a great blocking back not afraid to due the dirty work, he doesn't drop passes and most importantly he can read blocks and get what the defense will give you. We are going to need that when we play good defenses in the cold. I agree that the money he wants is ridiculous, but it might just be worth it for this particular team at this particular time.

I have zero information about Bell's attitude and I have no problem with his holdout. He has every right to try and maximize his earnings.

My concern is the reaction of his Steelers teammates. It isn't a good view of how the player is respected by teammates when they glory in stealing his property and posting it all over social media.

Maybe his teammates are just assholes? I mean, we are talking about the Steelers, here.
