Weird... 2 guards named Seth Olsen made the cut. Who knew... ;)

[PatMcAfeeFan]

A few holes, but a lot better than what I thought it would be.

[PrincetonTiger]

Thanks

[Balzer40]

Guards

1.Joe Reitz

2.Seth Olsen

3.Seth Olsen

Mike McGlynn.

[Gavin]

Yeah not so bad in most spots when we get guys healthy which for the most part wont be till next year lol

That Mckinney and Ijalana loss is HUGE for us because now we have no depth at either position and I liked the rotation of Johnson and Mckinney alot. It appears I am higher on Johnson in his new role more then most.

[WoolMagnet]

I count 52.

Plus you have 2 Seth Olsens at guard?

[Gavin]

Mike McGlynn.

eh yeah forgot Mike "Glass" Mcglynn lol

[Gavin]

I count 52.

Plus you have 2 Seth Olsens at guard?

Mcglynn makes 53

[WoolMagnet]

Mcglynn makes 53

I had my shoes off which, including fingers, only allows me to accurately count to 20.

lol

[The Peytonator]

I thought Harnish was cut?

[Gavin]

I thought Harnish was cut?

Hes still here

[CR91]

jermale hines?

[ColtStrong]

I thought Harnish was cut?

Why would you think that?

[The Peytonator]

Why would you think that?

I swear people were talking about it earlier. I can't even find it now.

I thought everyone was saying they figured he was a lock, and it would be strange for us to only carry two QBs.

[The Peytonator]

So who do you think gets cut when we bring in another Nose?

I'm betting on Hickman....I don't even remember him playing this preseason.

[Gavin]

we still have Hines

1.Korey Lindsey

2.Mewelde Moore

3.Lutrus Scott

All would be the logical choice in my opinion do to depth at all those positions and Moore will likely not get significant playing time and in Scott and Lindseys case none at all do to injury,

[The Peytonator]

1.Korey Lindsey

2.Mewelde Moore

3.Lutrus Scott

All would be the logical choice in my opinion do to depth at all those positions and none of them will likely get significant playing time from here on out barring being ravished by injury again

Lindsey and Lutrus are on IR. They aren't taking up a spot on the 53.

Moore would make sense to me, but Arians likes him so I doubt it.

1.Moore

2.Hickman

maybe

[cmgww]

Why are we keeping 3 QBs? We rarely if ever did that in the Manning era. I understand the line is bad, but it was pretty bad during the later Manning years and we almost never kept 3 QBs (last year was an anomaly w/ the injury...) I think 2 should suffice and use the spot at other places of need.

We're keeping three QB's because we want Stanton for this year and Harnish for the years after that but would lose Harnish if he was cut this year.

We did it a lot early in Manning's career and we also did it Painter's rookie year. Most teams in the NFL keep three. The Colts did not after Manning was established because he was an iron man at QBs. Most teams do not enjoy the kind of health we have experienced at the QB poistion over the years. You could aruge that Luck and Stanton should be enough but I think they kept Harnish for the following reasons:

1. He's being groomed to be the back up going forward after this season.

2. He's played well and odds are if he was released to go to the practice squad someone else would have claimed him.

3. Even if he's on the PS anyone can pick him up at any time and the fear would be if Luck or Stanton went down they wouldn't be able to get a better back up than Harnish is and on top of that you would lose the time Harnish has spent learning the Colts system.

After last season I would think would be more understanding of how important Good back up QBs are to your team and you don't just cut them if you think you have good ones.

[ztboiler]

I'm betting on Hickman....I don't even remember him playing this preseason.

Many have said no surprises in the cuts.....but keeping Hickman was a huge surprise to me - don't know how it wouldn't be to anybody. As you mentioned, he played little to none in the first 2 games. Cutting Chigbo was a surprise just as much. Clearly we aren't done - should be interesting, and I'd be very surprised if Hickman survives the weekend - but he has already defied the odds. I love that we kept Ty Nsekhe - at least for now.

[Andy]

What stands out at me is that they only have 1 NT. Im a bit surprised they cut Anuonoby because without him, there are no backups.

If Mookie goes down, then they're going to be scrambling for some guys.

Chapman better get back soon.

[John Dee]

they will get another very soon...

[Warhorse]

I am really....really liking how Grigson is putting this thing together. We had a cap mess....and an older team that was on the wrong side of 30. Congrats for putting something respectful together despite that upheaval, change, and total makeover responsibility.

I give a huge thumbs up.

[Coltswarriors]

How does Linkenbach make this team year after year? He is absolutely dreadful.

[Gonzo]

Had to do a double take when I looked at long snapper.

[John Dee]

How does Linkenbach make this team year after year? He is absolutely dreadful.

Give him a break... Indy has played him at every position on the oL w the exception of center. He would be a valuable reserve, and maybe a solid starter if he were "given" a concrete position to play.

he was given a concrete position to play last year that didnt go to well

Next season indy is WAY under the cap.

We will then see just how "savvy" Grigs is ... because FA in the NFL usually does not work out well. If the team goes big.

Can't wait for the future.

[John Dee]

He played all over the line. And Anthony Munoz could not protect C Painter...

This guy does not deserve an excuse. He's awful.

[Voir Dire]

I wonder if roster moves are going to trickle in over the next few days, or if they will instead make multiple moves before announcing them.

[BrentMc11]

Gavin, thank you for the updated list. I have been out of the loop for a couple of days. It is nice to get on here to see an nice clean list. Kudos!!!

Colt Fans, I am sure Grigson and Pagano want a NT as badly as we do, but they also do not want to sign a NT just to say 'we did.'

With Mookie, it is easy to disguise 3-4 to 4-3 concepts, and the heat will come from all angles. We will see more Freeney/Mathis....then corner blitzes...Anybody want to see Vontae Davis hit Cutler......tune in...BMc's crystal ball is out... With Freeman up the 'gut' and Conner.....ATTACK 'will be a comin....'

I am with Andy 246 here...hoping that Chapman is closer than we think. Until then, we play football!!! At 100% all over the field!

Thanks again Gavin!

[Ownagedood]

Actually there are a couple people you listed that im pretty sure have been cut.

Without looking it up im pretty sure these guys were cut:

Justin King

Ben Ijalana

Jabin Sambrano

[ColtsUrUs]

We need to go after another OG asap. Olsen and McGlass are going to hurt us this year if not.

[BrentMc11]

Ben Ijalana

Ijalana was waived and cleared waivers....he is correct, Justin King has made it so far (Brandon King cut) and Sabrano had a concusssion...he is on injured reserve...as info. Edited September 1, 2012 by BrentMc11
