Injuries: Colts could be scrambling for QB in Week 17
The Miami product told the newspaper that he’d like to see more downfield routes from Rob Chudzinski, who was promoted to the team’s play-caller after the Colts fired offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton. Hasselbeck gave this response because he is a competitor, but at the same time, he might be thinking this is his last season. In an average loss, he throws 38 times. Before this week’s matchup against the Dolphins, head coach Chuck Pagano asked Hasselbeck if he wanted to sit out and heal his injuries.

The Colts’ pass defense has been sitting as one of the worst in the league recently.
The Dolphins conclude the regular season next week when they host New England.
The Dolphins were playing without several key players due to injury, including Pouncey, but it didn’t matter. Miller has run exceedingly well when the Dolphins have actually given him run.
On the season, the Tennessee Titans average 227.3 yards in passing and 89.9 yards in rushing.
Also posting one interception, he failed to through a touchdown pass despite technically keeping the Colts in playoff contention. He’s been knocked out of each of the last three games with back, shoulder, neck and rib injuries. They’ll bounce between Hasselbeck and Charlie Whitehurst this week as well. That offensive line has allowed 34 sacks and 108 quarterback hits. If Luck is healthy enough to play – i.e. his 40-yard dash time is sufficient to run for his life – he ought to play. The player is now only 219 yards away from his second consecutive 1,000-yard season. He’s continued to be a great deep threat with 16 receptions of 20 or more yards.
The Dolphins ended a four-game losing streak in the series by winning 24-20 on the road in 2013.
The running game for the Colts has continued to be ineffective.
Ajayi finished with 27 yards and a touchdown on six carries against the Chargers. In a fourth quarter drive in Colts territory, Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill dropped back to pass, and looked towards Landry, who was closely covered.
For the Indianapolis Colts, Hasselbeck and Whitehurst had similar numbers with Hasselbeck completing eight of his 15 pass attempts for 99 yards while Whitehurst connected on nine of his 14 attempts for 78 yards. Of course, if the Colts can still reach the playoffs, it makes sense for Luck to play if he can.
Miami’s special teams unit certainly did its part this afternoon, doing all the little things that enabled this team to be in a position to win it in the final stanza.
Even though the game was anything but clean, truth is that the Dolphins shot themselves too many times in the foot to come away victorious. Hasselbeck’s recent injuries should be telling tell him that he does not have the physical endurance to play this game anymore.
