Like it. Does he have health issues? He ruptured his Achilles in Week 1 of the 2020 season that really hurt the Colts running game last year. I have no idea if it still affects him. 🤷♂️ Yes that’s what I remember. Maybe he’s not back to himself

That's what you guys said: No need to get RB help. We are fine. The new Oline makes RB's look great. Yep, plenty said the RB's we have are sufficient, and we are fine, so no need for TT to do anything drastic. Nobody posted anything like "The new Oline makes RB's look great."......nobody, but keep coming up with your ridiculous statement of facts. Nobody....nobody......said that. You directly said the oline would make the RB's better.

The run game is a ticking time bomb...

Let's talk about Roundtree and his 2.2 ypc. Or about Jackson who is constantly hurt. Or about Eke who gets hurt when they over-use him.... At least Lombardi figured out how to call a run play in the redzone this weekend... I'd like to see what Joshua Kelly could do behind this OL. That is what frozen and others SWORE. This new oline would greatly catapult the RB's into the HOF. Have you seen that ? Then they must suck. I pounded the table all offseason warning of this, and here we are. You'd like to see Kelley. So would the world. WHY have we not seen him ? Staff knows. I haven't seen much running at all. I think Justin Jackson and Larry Roundtree have 20 runs between them. We don't know if they suck or not. Maybe that's just the way Lombardi will run this offense... all passing... all the time. I'd rather see a more balanced, harder to predict, offense. Good DC's will figure this offense out eventually. At the very least, run the damn ball in the redzone more. Don't you think the turnovers in the redzone were caused by predictable play-calling...?

I haven't seen a FB carry the ball that much since Lo Neil. perhaps things are changing

The staff knows what they have to work with.

RB Elijah Mitchell (6th round) is out-performing RB Najee Harris (1st round) and RB Javonte Williams (2nd round)... why is that...? Running the ball is not all about the RB... it takes a good OL (which we finally have) and the right philosophy. There's a reason why we only have 7 TD's all season... and it isn't all the RB's fault.

Sounds like we should have drafted Elijah Mitchell instead of Rountree My guess is that the team felt elijah mitchell and khalil herbert were too similar in style to ekeler. They got a close look at all three guys at the senior bowl but chose roundtree. I think they did because they wanted a between the tackles redzone goaline type power back. The issue is they haven’t really used roundtree in that role much. And that’s probably in part because of justin being able to audible out of run plays when he has a favorabe matchup in the passing game. As long as they can consistently score touchdowns down there I really don’t care how they do it

Careful, you said the new oline would make the RB's look good. You were dead wrong. Face it and admit it. Do you know our 2nd and 3rd string RB's total yards are in the 20"s. 20's !!!! For total yards each.

They have a combined number of 20 attempts... are you basing your evaluation on 20 combined attempts...? You wanted a top tier RB (1st/2nd round). Which player would you have forgone...? Slater...? Samuels...?

I advocated many times for him pre-draft. He fits what we do... outside zone.
