man Cassius Vaughn really did a number with the coaches after his performance in the Packers game i see

[Coltswarriors]

Vaughn played very well and is probably a big reason as to why King got cut.

Really hope Vontae will be ready for the Jets game... has anyone heard anything on him yet?

#colts shuffle roster. Waive CB justin king, sign NT antonio dixon. elevate LB jerry brown, DE clifton geathers to active roster from PS

Mike Chappell ‏@mchappell51

#colts also signed LB dj bryant, cb isaiah gren, FB robert hughes, TE dominique jones to PS, released RB alvester alexander from PS

Mike Chappell ‏@mchappell51

Addition of NT antonio dixon an indication NT martin tevaseu will miss time. injured foot vs. packers. guess they didn't really miss jking

I expected the elevation of Geathers, Antonio Dixon is a nice 6'3 322lbs with experience in Philly. Jerry Brown was good in special teams in preseason for us. and the rest are PS shuffling

[Captain Americolt]

He sucked anyways, IMO. Vaughn played an excellent game.

[manning04]

Injury report tomorrow. We activated Jerry Brown from the PS...hope Mathis is ok.

It's hard to believe Mathis will play the next game. Even if it's a mild knee sprain they may give him a rest. It's impossible to go around the corner at that sharp angle the way he does without any pain and risking further injury.

Makes me wonder why Vaughn wasn't the nickel to begin with. He really impressed me against the Packers, even with the penalties.

[Gavin]

Vaughn should have been the Nickel from the start, personally I would have prefered Chism as the Nickel but I always kinda liked Vaugn and definitly over King

[Superman]

Chism is still available, isn't he?

[Gavin]

Im not sure, I havent seen him post on Twitter that he was headed anywhere

[chad72]

Makes me wonder why Vaughn wasn't the nickel to begin with. He really impressed me against the Packers, even with the penalties.

Some Broncos fans, after seeing how Chris Harris did against Wes Welker, are now regretting the Cassius Vaughn trade.

Way to go Grigson, I am super stoked about Grigson pulling off this trade for FB Gronkowski that we weren't going to use anyway, !!! .

Yay, Antonio Dixon, the guy from the Eagles roster of last year that I wanted once the roster was being constructed to 53, woohoo!!! Just a tad late but better late than never, he was stout against the run when he was healthy. The question is, has he recovered from surgery that he had?

He had some good production when healthy: http://www.nfl.com/p...2507573/profile

Here is the info on his surgery: http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/article-1/DT-Dixon-Undergoes-Surgery/8a0a3d96-0a5a-415c-beb6-0e3a9dd0f9e3

[Smitto]

Good news indeed king made too many negatives and not enough positives.. probably means vontae will be back for the jets game

[krunk]

Grigson is going to keep chipping away at this years roster to the point where people are going to look up this season and say the Colts actually have a pretty talented defense. This guy stays making moves.

[chad72]

I think so too.

[BuildtheMonster1285]

Wow. I did not see that coming at all about King

[CjMcGirt23]

I'm excited to see the sheer size of Geather's on the field this sunday, 6'7" 302? HUGE. Really excited to see what the secondary looks like healthy with Davis, Powers, and Vaughn.

[krunk]

He was expendable when you look at how Vaughn played, as well as Gordy. Then you have to add in the fact that we also have Butler for even more depth.

[krunk]

This move also means Gordy will be getting more playing time.

[Fx Stryker]

Some Broncos fans, after seeing how Chris Harris did against Wes Welker, are now regretting the Cassius Vaughn trade.

Someone was in charge of covering Welker? I didn't see one person near him.

[Warhawk]

King was better than some of the other bums we had in the preseason, but yeah, Vaughn's performance made him expendable.

I'm relatively comfortable with Powers/Davis/Vaughn/Butler/Gordy. That roster spot is more valuable spent elsewhere than what King would add to that group.

[ProblChld32]

Wasn't a fan of King his performance just wasn't up to par IMO

[Andy]

So the Justin King project ends early.

I guess the play of Vaughn may King releasable.

[atapcl]

I posted several weeks ago that Vaughn would be the next to go because of his lack of agility in changing directions but now I have to eat my words. He has made up for his change of direction with good field vission, heart and determination. Looks like the coaches made the right decision in letting King go.

[Coltsman1788]

Grigson is going to keep chipping away at this years roster to the point where people are going to look up this season and say the Colts actually have a pretty talented defense. This guy stays making moves.

Yeah the way he keeps constantly tinkering with our roster making under the radar additions reminds me alot of Dan Duquette the GM of my favorite baseball team the Baltimore Orioles and we all can see what he has done for them this year. :clap:

[MTC]

Justin King hasn't impressed me at all even though he made a play here or there. Like the signing of Antonio Dixon, a good run stuffer.

[Malakai432]

Speaking of defense, does anyone have an estimate on when Davis, Chapman and Angerer are coming back?

Also... Does anyone know if Chapman can come in and make an impact rift away or will we ease him into things?

[ColtsLegacy]

Ack! Mario Addison signed off our PS by the Redskins. I was wondering why we'd bring up Jerry Brown over Addison. That's disappointing, I saw promise in Addison.

[Smonroe]

Dixon could be a great addition if he's healthy. Another Eagles connection. I like this move a lot.

[PatMcAfeeFan]

Angerer should be back this week. I haven't heard anything on Davis yet. Chapman has to be evaluated next week to see if he can come off PUP. If he can pass a physical then we probably won't see him till week 8 or 9 at the earliest, so he can get up to speed with the rest of the D.

[Gavin]

I like the fact Grigson finally figured out what a Fullback is, I hope we put him to use

[Jackie Daytona]

Hughes is good to see get a chance, for me anyway as an ND fan..... he's definitely got the size, wouldn't mind if he managews to unseat Carter or Moore on the roster at some point, or next year

[CR91]

i bet vonta changes his number

[Tree]

I hope that Grigson doesn't go soft as the Colts win more frequently. He is constantly chipping away at our roster to sculp a masterpiece, and it's fun to see him work his tail off.

[GoColts8818]

Well I think the idea would be if we start to win more frequently he wont need to chip away at the roster as much.

[BleedBlu8792]

Davis/Powers/Vaughn/Butler is a decent group to have. I'm about as impressed with Gordy as I was King.

[bayone]

man Cassius Vaughn really did a number with the coaches after his performance in the Packers game i see

After Denvers DB performance maybe they want him back

[Purdue Colt]

Davis/Powers/Vaughn/Butler is a decent group to have. I'm about as impressed with Gordy as I was King.

Agreed 110%

[Wemissmanning18]

Honestly, i believe it would have been smarter if we kept Kelvin Hayden a couple of years ago. He was a stand-out and a lock-down defender in my eyes. He looks good still, he would look really good back in a Colts uniform, that's all I'm saying...
