I don't know if it was knee issues for Spencer Ware or not, but the Colts replaced him with Dadi Nicholas. They have apparently acquired an archival copy of the Chiefs' orthopedic surgery bills and are working their way through it.

It depends on whether he can coach or not.
I typically think that the best players don't often become good coaches, because their own success was based on "You can't coach that" qualities. There are some exceptions to that rule, of course, but they have to prove themselves. [Reply]

Well while he was talented he made his bones being extremely smart and being awesome at film review, you can teach those things. [Reply]

I don't think this is either/or. We also used to put Dontari Poe in at FB. That doesn't mean he made Anthony Sherman superfluous.
Lovett's primary job is to learn TE. The times that we might put him in the backfield this year are more than likely going to be solely used for Taysom Hill-type trick plays. I doubt Reid is comfortable with him as a primary blocker out of the backfield, at least in this first year of his. If you want to claim that doesn't matter, then why has Reid bothered to use a FB at all in perhaps the most innovative and modern offensive playbook in the NFL?
No, I'm not some Anthony Sherman homer or weirdo fan of his. I'm just saying that Reid and Dorsey/Veach don't always do what makes sense to the fans when it comes to piecing together the roster. Sometimes it's because we're too pea-brained to get the big picture behind the decision, and sometimes... well, sometimes it's just a dumb fucking call by Reid. Regardless of what you think about Sherman being on the team, given his history, it's a good bet Reid is going to keep him around this year. [Reply]

Hmm... maybe John Elway should give up the front office and try coaching instead... [Reply]
