Colts Final Cuts -- please post here (Merge)

[Andy]

well someone will be getting a good LS :highfive: hope this doesn't come back to bite us in the behind.

Just wondering, how does a LS come back to bite us in the behind? Honest question.

It's not like he's a QB where he could beat us in the last minute, or a RB who runs for 150.

[TKnight24]

broncos just cut peyton manning

Robert Griffin was released. Robert Griffin III is still in Washington. Griffin that was released was an OL blocking for RG3 at Baylor

That's who 21 is talking about

[TKnight24]

This must be STRESSFUL for Pagano & Co. Snow is already gone............. who's Next??? *Bites Nails*

How about new snapper snapping a bad snap on last second field goal?

[jvan1973]

it could bite us when we are trailing by two with ten seconds to play and our new LS shoots the snap over the holders head for the winning FG

[Andy]

How about new snapper snapping a bad snap on last second field goal?

But technically, that's not him coming back to bite us in the behind.

Tough to think and not laugh about it

[jskinnz]

Right. I understand that. But Snow has lasted what, a dozen years? You last that long in the NFL doing nothing but snapping and that tells me he's very, very good at what he does.

So, why go with an untested rookie over a proven veteran unless the issue is money?

I am sure it is about money and youth. If they are reasonbly sure that Overton can do the same if not better job than Snow and pay him $500,000 less, why wouldn't they make that move?

It's even worse for the players

Couldn't he make a bad snap and the holder couldn't get the ball in correct place for the FG kicker? Just my thinking seems as though that has happened before. What do I know just my thoughts.

[TKnight24]

*Plays Jeopardy Music*

Come on, who's leaving Indy next??? This is Stressful & I'm not even the one making the Cuts smh

[CR91]

i cant believe we're getting this upset over a LS.

[StewieG]

So snow is the only confirmed cut so far, correct?

[TKnight24]

It's even worse for the players

Well if you're Reggie Wayne, Andrew Luck, Dwayne Allen, etc. .... You know you're fine. But I hope they're trying to comfort the young players who are awaiting their Fate. I think that shows good leadership imo

[Superman]

He has, twice. But two bad snaps in 15 years is pretty good. However, you eventually need a new long snapper. And considering that he's part of the punt coverage team, at 35, I understand the move.

[TKnight24]

So snow is the only confirmed cut so far, correct?

Correct Stewie. Aren't you supposed to be plotting your takedown of Lois right now or something?

[StewieG]

Correct Stewie. Aren't you supposed to be plotting your takedown of Lois right now or something?

I gave up on that a few seasons ago

[Andy]

i cant believe we're getting this upset over a LS.

It's just that he was the longest tenured player on the Colts, so it's a bit sad to see him go. If it were anyone else, no one would really care about it.

Thanks for this!

Can't believe Justin Snow is gone. Wow

[John Waylon]

... Yeah, Justin Snow deserves his own thread. Just sayin'.

[Albaby]

... Yeah, Justin Snow deserves his own thread. Just sayin'.

Everyone needs a new topic to talk about. I hate to say it, but I wish they would release someone else to change the topic.

Honest answer to honest question....

We release Snow. He signs with another team that plays us. His good snapping leads to good FG's and Punts. We lose.

And/or.... (even more likely)

We release Snow, and Overton, the new snapper, makes some poor snaps costing us a win, maybe two.

That's how this could bite us....

[Gavin]

My guess is the cuts will all come at once from the Colts

[chad72]

There is only so many players that Irsay can tweet in one tweet.

[JWF]

I still dont get how Justin Snow being cut is news at all. He's a LS for crying out loud. Dime a dozen.

Isn't it better we release him now in a yr. where we aren't really expected to be real competitive? Sorry, but this is not a big deal at all. If the coaches thought that the job of long snapping was going to overwhelm Overton, I'm sure they would have stuck with Snow.

[indycolts4ever]

Holy Cow....I actually thought Chandler Harnish would make the team. I cant believe he was cut. Good Luck wherever you land!

[Gavin]

#colts have released OL Mike Tepper. arguably best quote in locker room. good guy, too.

[Gavin]

Mike Chappell ‏@mchappell51

#colts have released OL Mike Tepper. arguably best quote in locker room. good guy, too.

[StewieG]

Holy Cow....I actually thought Chandler Harnish would make the team. I cant beleive he was cut. Good Luck wherever you land!

Source?

[Gavin]

That Tepper cut is surprising for sure

[MTC]

Now thats a surprise cut. I was sure he would stay for depth purposes.

Sucks that Justin Snow got cut. Really liked the guy.

[NewColtsFan]

i cant believe we're getting this upset over a LS.

I wouldn't call anyone upset, including me. I called myself 'disappointed'.... but not upset.

I think of this simply as a discussion.... lots of different points of view.... and so we're discussing....

What's the Mike Myers Mother-in-Law routine from SNL?

"Justin Snow released. Discuss!"

[NewColtsFan]

If true about Harnisch, I wonder if this is procedural?

Don't we have to release players before putting them on the Practice Squad?

Superman? FJC? Can you confirm this?

Thanks.....

[unitaswestand]

He played in Baylor's offense and was released today. Maybe we could use him for our offense?

He might make a good return man

[unitaswestand]

Disappointed that Tepper was cut. Always liked him and thought he was far better than Olsen. I hope this means we plan to pick up some OLineman off waivers.

[MTC]

Harnish being cut is a rumor (for now). Nothing has been confirmed yet.

[Esquire59]

Mike Tepper released. Surprised - versatile O-lineman.

[Balzer40]

Holy Cow....I actually thought Chandler Harnish would make the team. I cant believe he was cut. Good Luck wherever you land!

Where did you see this?

[StewieG]

That Tepper cut is surprising for sure

Yeah it is. I always thought Tepper looked decent. Not great, but he wasn't horrible either.

[Gavin]

I hope the Tepper release dont come back to bite us, I guess Pagano really thinks Linkenbach and Justice can actually play Right Tackle which is laughable in my opinion. Tepper played well in the preseason and camp
