I had issues w that link but you did inspire me to read the article.

Good article and I do wish him success either with the Colts or someone else. That was one seemingly nasty leg injury and he seems like one tough cookie.

Great read, I didn't know Vargas story...

Really hope he makes the roster...

Glad to hear.  You and I both!  (Regarding wishing him success wherever he may be)

 

Regarding the link, anyone else have issues with it or?  

[NorthernBlue]

The link worked fine for me.

 

And great read! This only makes me want him to make the team even more. Just a hard nosed, blue collar guy.

I see the Colts only keeping 3 RBs. The only way Varga could make the roster if we only go with 2 QBs. If Bennett prove his worth than I would rather keep 3 QBs so he can backup Luck next year when Hasslebeck retires.

I liked what I saw of him last week. As Allen opined, beast! If it's true that he can excel on special teams, I'd rather see him kept at the RB position for his tough running and special teams, rather than a certain (admittedly very likeable) WR.

They're not keeping 3 QBs. Bennett won't even make the PS.

Nice article.

Really pulling for this guy to make the squad. Great attitude, nice collage tape (albeit at a relatively low level), great physique for football, smart, must be able to contribute on special teams. Hoping for a big showing from him in game 4.

We're keeping 5 WR's and Carter will be #5 so not sure the purpose of that shot you just took at him. He may not play special teams, but he'll be on this team

Any NFL roster period for that matter

Did not know that about Varga. What a nasty injury. I talked to him for a bit a few weeks ago after camp. He was the nicest dude, all smiles, and kinda reminded me of some of my friends. The guy didn't act like anything was just given to him and that he's just having fun.

If Pagano wants a 'football player,' we need Varga on this roster.  This kid gives more effort than anyone not named Gore.  If we kept Havilli, Varga is a must.  

 

Varga would clean the bathroom to make this team...he is all out on anything he does.  4 RBs please.

[jchandler7]

As long as another team doesnt steal him he will be on the PS at the very least. Tough, hard nosed guy that works his tail off because he knows nothing will be handed to him. Im a big fan.

[Esquire59]

He's "deceptively athletic...." (shakes head).

Not sure he was talking about Carter there Champ.

Carter has been on special teams so who else would he be talking about?

i think he was talking about griff honestly

[TKnight24]

i think he was talking about griff honestly

That's worse lol. Griff has no shot at making this roster, that's why I didn't consider him

[jabbanobadda]

Whalen?

[rockywoj]

I agree that Carter is making the team. I was talking about Griff, in the absence of Carter. My point is, I think Varga would be a more valuable keeper, even though I like Griff's receiving reliability and general special teams play. I was not in my mind taking a shot, but rather expressing my like for Varga.
