[Colts 53 Man Cut Transactions Thread]

Hentges will not clear wavers and I almost bet that Travis is being shopped tonight and if need be, he is the cut not Hentges. 

 

I've been hoping that we might keep Hentges and get a good backup O-lineman for Travis, rather than just lose him in the cuts.

[So, a pile of cap space now...]

Absolutely agree.

 

He only threw 7 int's, but 3 or 4 of those were near the end of close games. I remember one of those was a fluke tip that was returned for a pick 6.

 

Despite being sacked 52 times, Brissett only turned the ball over 10 times.

 

                                   

                                          comp%               QB rating            turnovers

 

Brissett    2017 :                58.8                         81.7                         10

 

Manning 1998 :                 56.7                         71.2                         30

 

Luck        2012 :                 54.1                          76.5                         23  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From Colts.com...

 

In 2014, Brissett was one of three quarterbacks in college football to record 2,000 passing yards, 300 rushing yards, 20 passing touchdowns and less than five interceptions, with the other two being Marcus Mariota and Brett Hundley.

- His 23 touchdowns in 2014 are the seventh-most in a season in North Carolina State history.

- Threw 187 consecutive passes without an interception during the season, the seventh-longest streak in ACC history.

 

Not turning the ball over is a big deal, and worth a lot.

[Irsay is to blame for most of this]

Picking a GM is like picking a player or a coach.  They don't all work out.

 

And if Irsay is responsible for how Grigs panned out, then he's also responsible for how Ballard has.

[Luck Retires/ The timing of it all... (merge)]

I get that Luck was in pain with his ankle and frustrated with it.  What's curious is that a lot of people said he looked pretty lively in recent drills at training camp.  I'm not sure how one pulls that off with a significant ankle injury.

But given that the pain was real, why not just go on IR?  If the ankle isn't better by the end of the season, then that's the time to retire.

How many times are you going to post the same silly comment?

 It is time for the 18 game regular season.

 

Not without an expansion of the 53 man limit, which I already despise.

I think he cemented his 53 spot

 

      I thinking Ken Dilger

 

The only problem with putting promising players onto the 53 is you have to also take one off.

Some of you are taking this way to light. If you think this isn’t going to effect the first game you really are foolish. 

 

 

 

I'm not taking this to light.  I'm taking this to peace and happiness.

Why would they put that out without saying that. I am so mad.

 

To make money.

[Time to panic!]

I enjoy the chance to see everyone on the roster out on the field over the 4 pre-season games.  We get limited reports and highlights from training camp, but I like to see for myself.

[Way to early stat predictions]

Two early.

Rock fell down on the route. I think thats the play he got hurt

 

Might've been.  We should hear more about it.

When cuts happen. Going to be hard on WR and 2ndary group. I predict alot of argueing amongst us. 

Is keeping 6 WRs, 4 rbs, and 4 TEs doable with the amount of OL and DL. Ballard and Reich like to keep?

 

Yes, it's doable, but not easy.  Would likely mean making a difficult cut somewhere on defense.

[Bobby Okereke has been signed]

Curiously, I still don't see Okereke's name on the Colts' Transactions page.  All the other draftees are listed there as having signed contracts.

[Justin Houston-Good Morning Football]

He and Sheard will be great mentors.

I'm not really digging all the attention the team has been getting. I want to lay low

 

Doesn't really matter.  You just plug away, regardless.  KC gets attention.  NE gets even more.  It's a part of success, and it means you're doing something right. So, I hope the Colts keep getting attention.

[Colts sign four tryout players]

Height and length are fairly important metrics for a DT.  Helpful in batting down passes.  In Hunt's case, they have also helped him block kicks.

[Player most likely to be cut]

Why cut a DT just because you drafted a DE/LB?

[Colts sign RB Spencer Ware]

Why 3?  And, you forgot Hines.

 

Nyheim Hines

 

Marlon Mack

 

Spencer Ware

 

Jordan Wilkins

 

Jonathan Williams

 

 

Because the team can carry only 53, and with an emphasis on having a good rotation of pass rushers, for example, something has to give in terms of what your ideal number would be at some other position, and that might easily be RB.

[What's Next?]

30 minutes ago, PrincetonTiger said:

RB?

 

Out of the 7 picks still to go, at this point...

I think they will pick at least one RB.  Need some more quality competition there for camp.

Also think they will pick a G, T and maybe 2 LB

It's so quiet around here that even the trolls and Negativians are nowhere to be found.  I'd even be happy with people making stuff up at this point.

  I guess its good tho for us to catch our breath and let the skin grow back on our fingertips.

  Soon enough, we'll be back to name-calling, backstabbing, and slander.  Yes, Colt fans, its draft time.....enjoy.

 

Recent discoveries indicate that around 9% of the genome of the Negativians derives from Denisovans, suggesting significant interbreeding. Scientists continue their search for the genes most responsible for the expressed negativity.

Loved the character in Being There.

 

I assume he was named after the character.  That, in itself, is pretty funny.

[I think I speak for all colts fans right now]

I thought it was a good game.  Both defenses played very well.

 

But the most enjoyable part was just watching Edelman. I've always believed of all the receiver skills, speed is the most overrated. I put it 4th behind route running, catching the ball and YAC, and Edelman is superb at all of those.

Tony Romo has easily become my favorite announcer. Dude calls the plays before they happen. 

 

I was extremely impressed with his color commentary. His knowledge about the game and its nuances was why.

Remember, the Pats are winning with James White and company.  In other words, they still win with scheme and coaching and scheme fit players .  We played much better with scheme and coaching this year so hopefully we continue to get better in that vein. 

 

Yep.  The Patriots are at the bottom of the draft year after year, and they keep going deep into the playoffs.
