2 days later ........ With Jack Doyle out for the season and Erik Swoope waived, I suspect that Ebron will get plenty of playing time down the home stretch. o |

With 2 games still left to be played, Ebron has more than twice as many TD receptions (12) than his previous career high (5, when he played for the Lions in 2015.)

Ebron broke the franchise record for TD receptions by a tight end with a catch and score against the Texans on December 9th. With Doyle out for the season and Swoope having been cut, he was the only Colts tight end with any receptions (3) in their win over the Giants on Sunday, although he had 1 notable drop of a pass that was right in his hands. o |

(vs. TEXANS, 1/05) )) (Wildcard Playoff) Ebron's TD reception on the very first drive of the game opened the scoring for the Colts. He nearly had an amazing catch for another TD later in the first half, even after the Justin Reid jarred the ball loose from him with a big hit. Fortunately, Luck threw a TD pass on the very next play to teammate Dontrelle Inman. o |

Yes ........ Reid took one for the team, so it was a good play by both Reid and Ebron. My comment was more about that fact that Ebron did an excellent job of concentrating in spite of getting hit AND the defender getting his hands on the ball (ala Lynn Swann in Super Bowl X), rather than who got the better of the contact. o |
I'm not sure why I find this funny, but Ebron resents Houston for their sole TD yesterday:

Generally speaking, it's best to complain about officiating after a win ........ that way, they can't write it off as "sour grapes", as if often done when players and/or coaches complain after a loss. I'm not saying that complaints after a loss are not legitimate (they often are), but it's impossible to simply dismiss complaints as that of coming from a sore loser after a win. o |

(vs. CHIEFS, 1/12) )) (Divisional Playoff) Ebron had a BIG DROP on 3rd down, on the Colts' very first series of the game ........ that drop, and the 2 quick touchdowns that the Chiefs scored afterward set the tone for today's game. For the day, he had 5 catches for 51 yards. o |
Ebron had a great season, and he was a great addition to the team. But since he's kind of an athletic but weak TE (Reich limits his snap count and tries to use him more on passing downs) I can't help but wonder if he was just soft and weak for this game. Didn't even show up, never held onto the football, couldn't take a hit. That might be a real problem .

We know what we have in him. Great in the redzone, question mark in between. Overall a a weapon but needs to be managed as long as he continues with stupid drops.

We should be adding weapons, not subtracting them.

Doyle and Ebron make a good combination
Outside the red zone, throw to Doyle. He doesn't drop it In the Red zone, throw to Ebron. |

Ebron is great when allowed to be an “icing” type player and he’s mediocre when required to be a full time contributor. Reich and Ballard both recognize it. Hell, to his credit, I think Ebron does to. That’s why Reich’s pitch to him was a factor in his signing. A player that doesn’t understand his limitations would have likely been offended by it. Unless he demands to be paid like a true, full time Pro Bowl TE I hope the fans don’t turn on him. He is who he is, and when allowed to be used correctly he’s a hell of a weapon.

Unless you're talking about the 2017 version of Doyle, the one which fumbled and dropped balls. That said, I agree. |
