Hovadipo Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 What screwed AT was the fact that he was drafted by a terrible Phoenix Cardinal team that had a rookie offensive line that left him punished. It shortened the career of a great, durable college back that held touchdown, game yardage, and carry stats that took decades to break. Forty carries a game was not unusual for him. For those of us around in '87-'88, and who know AT, he is one-of-kind. I wish Coleman well, and hope that if his career ends early, he can find the same contentment AT has. Oh yeah. I know he's a great guy. Anytime my uncle or dad see him, his first question is always asking how my grandma (their mom) is doing. Class act. Quote

Will work out at Indiana's pro day 4/15 Turns out that Tevin played with a broken sesamoid bone in his right foot the last 7 games of the season.

Naturalhoosier Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 Mel Kiper picked the first 3 rounds and has TC going #36 to the Jags. It's an Insider article so I won't post the entire thing, but here's a snippet regarding the choice: "No. 36 overall is a spot where I can better justify taking a RB, even for a team that could use help in other positions, simply because I feel like he immediately becomes the best running back on the roster. Given that I think my roster is now in a position to win more football games, I can take a play-right-away player who has shown explosiveness and durability. That's an immediate upgrade, and the opportunity cost isn't too high in Round 2." Walking Boot of Doom, upperarlington and barrettballer 3 Quote

Hovadipo Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Matt Miller compared Tevin Coleman to a bigger LeSean McCoy. I'm not seeing it to be honest. They're both fast but their running styles aren't really that similar. Quote
Old Friend Posted April 23, 2015 Posted April 23, 2015 Tevin Coleman reminds me of Eric Dickerson. He's a one-cut guy, runs vertically, has break away speed, and he's about the same size. Now...that's not a comparison. It's a reminder. I'm not saying Tevin Coleman is an NFL hall of famer....but he reminds me of a back who is. And he has very low miles, compared to some other backs out there. He'd look awfully good in a horse shoe if you ask me. IU Hoosier41 1 Quote

Coleman has a lot of skills, but patient running is not one of them, the colts o-line isn't good enough to allow him to play to his full potential imo. I think he can be great on a team like Dallas, he and DeMarco Murray are very similar. Quote

I think he can be great on a team like Dallas, he and DeMarco Murray are very similar. I kind of go the other way. Trent Richardson was very...um...."patient." And he was a dismal failure. The Colts need a guy who just hits the hole, makes one cut, and goes. Coleman can do that. I see the Murray comparison, however TC is taller, isn't he? I think Murray's about 5'11" and Coleman 6'1", but either way, I see the comparison. I also think Coleman runs a bit more vertically than Murray does. I also love TC because he's "low mileage." Wilson didn't ever over-work him, and he's had few carries compared to some other highly rated backs. ThompsonHoosier, Andrew_114, IU Hoosier41 and 1 other 4 Quote

Naturalhoosier Posted April 25, 2015 Author Posted April 25, 2015 42. Atlanta Falcons Kiper's pick: Tevin Coleman, RB, Indiana Even with Devonta Freeman around I think Coleman comes in with a good chance to get 200 or more carries. He'll hit more home runs than Freeman. Bobman1 1 Quote
SteelerHoosier Posted April 25, 2015 Posted April 25, 2015 Coleman would look awfully good backing up Bell for my Steelers ;)..........too bad we have too many needs elsewhere to afford a luxury pick and Coleman isn't going to be on the board in the 4th lol Quote
