I'll wonder about his judgement when the W/L record tells me I should wonder about his judgement. Not when he doesn't do what a lot of fans on a message board, think he should do.

Also, last season doesn't count, when you have a lame duck POS coach, running an antiquated offensive system and your best player on the sidelines the entire year.

That's your right. I would personally feel ridiculous typing what you just did, but do what you want.

Ebron in action against the 49ers, in what is essentially the last meaningful exhibition game of 2018.

That was a nice TD catch for Ebron.

Sure, the scheme rubbed him open but he still made a nice cut, located the ball in the air and had some NICE body control to twist around and make the grab.

If he can play in the regular season like he did in pre-season, we have our "Ken Dilger - Marcus Pollard" duo back in the form of the field stretching Ebron and the always dependable underneath Doyle.

Hilton, Doyle, Ebron, Running Back is a solid core for Luck to be throwing to. Hopefully, one of the WRs steps up during the first half of the season and becomes a force as well.

Walk Worthy,

Ebron scored the first touchdown of the Colts' 2018 season on Sunday, against the Bengals.

With all due respect, we are not just your average fans on a message board. We are Colt Freaks and we know more than most general managers.

Ebron should be a red zone beast in this offense.

Not sure why on the first drive he was not targeted.

Its nice to know I'm not alone. LOL

Yeah, I know, even the good GM's aren't a match for this crowd.

o



Ebon has shown flashes of potential stardom in the first 2 games of his Colts career.



o

He's been in the NFL for several years now.

o


(vs. TEXANS, 9/30)



Ebron made a great catch for a TD with 7 minutes and change left to play in the 4th quarter, bringing the Colts to within striking distance at 28-23.


o

that was a nice catch, but I am still "meh" on ebron

He is hit and miss.

Had had key drops as well.

I am glad he is on the team since Doyle has been injured though

o


Fair points, he has also had some struggles mixed in with his high-profile catches in this still very young season so far.


o

o


(vs. PATRIOTS, 10/04)



Ebron had a career-high 109 yards receiving tonight.

It was scary when he limped off of the field after making a good catch late in the 3rd quarter, but he was able to return to the game and play ........ so hopefully, it's nothing serious.



Incidentally, Erik Swoope had a pretty good game in his own right. One of his 3 catches was very acrobatic/Lynn Swann-like.


o

o


2 games later, against the Bills ........ Swoope made a very good catch in the end zone to open the scoring against the Bills.

The Ebron/Swoope TE combination this season has been pretty good overall, albeit with some drops from Ebron.


o

As a receiving threat i agree, but we have been using LeRaven Clark quite a bit as a 6th lineman, as they are both below average as in-line blockers, which is where Doyle creates greater mis-matches.

o



(vs. RAIDERS, 10/28)



Ebron had 3 catches today, one of which was an excellent TD reception.


Jack Doyle had an excellent day in his return from injury, snaring 6 passes for 70 yards and 1 TD.


Mo Alie-Cox had an amazing 1-handed catch for a TD, which was reminiscent of Pierre Garcon's amazing one-handed catch against the Redskins on Monday Night Football in 2010.


o

o



(vs. JAGUARS, 11/04)



Ebron had 3 catches overall, netting 69 yards and 2 TD's.

In the first quarter alone, he had 3 TD's (2 receiving, 1 rushing.)

On one of his TD receptions he showed outstanding body control and balance, tight-roping the sidelines long enough to successfully dive inside of the pylon for the score.



In his 2nd game since returning from injury, Jack Doyle caught all 3 passes of which he was targeted with.


Mo Alie-Cox caught 2 passes (one of which was a TD), but he also had 2 drops of balls that were right in his hands, one of which resulted in a momentum-crushing INT early in the 4th quarter. That drop/INT negated the probability of the Colts getting at least 3 points (and possibly 7) at a time in which any kind of score would have given them a 2-possession lead ........ fortunately, the defense (which had been shaky for most of the game) made the 29 points in which the Colts scored in the first half hold up by forcing a punt, a FG attempt, and getting a fumble recovery in the Jaguars' final 3 possessions of the game.


o

Ebron leads the NFL in touchdowns for a TE. I would say at this pace he is destined for the pro bowl.

My only question with Ebron, is why does he play such a low percentage of the offensive snaps? He routinely plays less than 25% of the offensive snaps.

He sucks at blocking?

But yet, he's better than any WR we put on the field, not named Hilton.

https://www.indystar.com/story/sport...le/2000634002/

Article from IndyStar on why Ebron isn't playing more. I get that he may not be the best blocker, but he's been pretty unstoppable as a receiver. The coaches really need to work him in more, especially when the O goes stagnant like it did in the 2nd half last week.

Here's a scouting report on him:

http://www.sportsforecaster.com/nfl/player/11083

SCOUTING REPORT
Assets: Smooth, fluid, and a great athlete overall at tight end. Has deceptively excellent speed, runs efficient routes, catches the ball in stride, and accelerates impressively downfield. A big-play tight end, both in receiving ability and in deep-play potential. Has ideal raw size and the athleticism to be a star.
Flaws: Still needs to add more tools as a blocker, especially in terms of effort, technique, and physical bulk. While fluid and fast, he doesn't regularly show explosive quickness. Has the tools to be more physical with opponents in general.
Career Potential: Pass-catching 'move' tight end with stellar tools.


Just a theory on my part, but the fact that he's not playing more could be the carrot that gets him working harder on his blocking.

Lol......patsy learned how to be a douche well from the master douchebag.....

While a Lions team desperate for meaningful production out of the tight end position tumbled to its third straight loss Sunday, Ebron was catching two touchdown passes and running for another score in another brilliant showing. The performance prompted a Detroit Free-Press columnist to ask first-year Lions head coach Matt Patricia if Detroit regrets the decision to cut Ebron last March, given the way he’s playing now.

“I’m not really sure what he’s doing with the Colts,” Patricia said. “Or what the Colts are doing with him right now.”

Yea, bullshit... I'm prety sure Matt Patricia or his staff knows exactly what's going on with every team. I like MP, but that doesn't mean I cant smell it.

Man, I just checked is stats, and in 4 years at Detroit he has 11 TDs, this year he has 9.

Coaching might matter.

To player development? Absolutely.

If they're that concerned about his blocking, run 3 TE and split Ebron out wide. He has the speed to create matchup problems there, and he's better than any WR not named T.Y. Hilton on the team.

Maybe it is just me, but I have always thought he was slow....

A 4.6 40 isn't slow at 6'4" 250.

It's a lot of momentum for a corner or safety

o


(vs. DOLPHINS, 11/25)



Ebron had 5 catches overall, including 2 for TD's.

Believe it or not, Ebron tied Dallas Clark for the franchise record for TD receptions by a tight end in a single season (11) ........ and the Colts still have 5 games left to play.

Hall-of-Famer John Mackey had 9 TD receptions in a 14-game season for the Baltimore Colts in 1966.


In this article, Ebron talks about his admiration for Clark when he was growing up.



Ebron Ties Team's Touchdown Record

Here's his NFL draft profile, which in retrospect seems pretty accurate (except, of course, the criticism that he provides only "ordinary touchdown production"):

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2011/profil...ron?id=2543466

I like when we bump the threads where I'm right!

C&O brings damn near every thread back from the dead so everyone gets that chance.lol

(vs. TEXANS, 12/09)


It was only one play, but I loved it because ........ as much as dumb football drives me up a wall, smart football deserves to be complimented.


With the ball deep in Texans territory late in the 2nd quarter, Ebron showed excellent situational awareness ........ in addition to getting down to the ground to catch a ball that was thrown low by Andrew Luck, he then rolled over towards the goal line, knowing that it was near.


First and foremost, catch the ball ........ secondly, know where you are on the field (near the first down sticks, near the sidelines, near the goal line, etc.)


o

That ball was thrown behind him, he made a great adjustment to catch it which caused him to go down. Reminded me of that Harrison play where they forgot to touch him down and he ran for a TD.
