No doubt lol! Of course Dam will be on here claiming how he was right b/c Taylor fumbled a game away against Balt last year. Even though it happened in the first quarter, and it was his only fumble his entire rookie season.

When your line is unhealthy, neither option (run or pass) is ideal. But, it's a 17 game season, and you need a healthy running game when the weather turns cold and the playoffs begin. I don't know this off hand, but I'd be willing to bet that its isn't often that rushing leaders have won a Lombardi, especially when that rushing leader has also led the league in carries. You just get beat up and if your line is unhealthy, you get beat up even more. I want JT to be strong in game 17 and then in the playoffs too.

I'll admit I was lower on him on draft day than I should've been, and I very quickly changed on that, you can read my scouting report on him to see that. That said, I hate fumbling problems, because a RB with a fumbling problem is a negative play/turnover waiting to happen. A great example of this is Tiki Barber. Barber was a very talented RB, but he very nearly lost his starting job because he had a huge fumbling problem, he had 35 fumbles in a 4 year stretch from 2000-2003. In the next (and last) 3 years of his career, he was able to greatly mitigate that problem, fumbling only 8 times in that stretch, and became a 3 time Pro Bowler and 1 time first team All-Pro from 2004-2006. That's the difference a fumble problem can make. Taylor fumbled 18 times in 41 college games, that would come out to an average of 7.5 fumbles per 17 game season. Credit where it's due to Taylor on that, he has to this point cut down drastically on his fumble rate, but that was a concern when he was drafted. What's still a concern is the 968 collegiate touches. High workloads make RBs wear down faster. Fortunately, Taylor is 22, so hopefully it won't take its toll for a while, and a second contract might actually even be worthwhile for him, but if the Colts give him huge workloads, the risk of injury and ineffectiveness will increase exponentially. It shouldn't be a problem for the remainder of his rookie deal, but I certainly wouldn't want a situation where the Colts have committed a ton of resources to him to sit on IR like the Titans are experiencing with Henry right now and several other teams have experienced with high end RBs on second contracts. |

I am concerned/curious about them sitting Mack the past several games though. Unless there is an issue they are not talking about, a Taylor/Mack/Hines trio would be great to rely on to wear teams down in the last five games. |

Always a possibility injury wise but also wonder if he pissed off the leadership and especialy with the trade desire. He is likely sitting at the bottom of the Colts Xmas card list thus sitting as a healthy scratch might be part of his punishment... just sayin...

I don’t see the Colts being that petty. Maybe the Patriots, but not the Colts.
