Don't like it at all.

[Jack Burton]

I'm surprised.

[1959Colts]

Hope they keep John Gill instead.

[MTC]

My first reaction:

Then I realized, he was probably cut because of Jim Tressel.

[hockey878]

personally im not a huge fan. Unless, someone else got cut that they really like. who knows....

[CR91]

its not on nfl transaction report so unless you have a link saying this im not believing it

[Coltswarriors]

Really? I don't like this.

[hockey878]

It came directly from Adam Schefter; how often is he wrong?

[coltfaninnewyork]

Rotoworld has it as well.

[Phil J]

yuck

[Balzer40]

Well, there went all the high hopes for him helping the D-line. Im really starting to think the Colts actually like having a weak D-line.

[MTC]

Who do we have now at DT?

Moala, Johnson, Nevis, Gill and Foster? :???:

[CR91]

great so the colts will continue to get ZERO pressure from the DTs way to go front office :/. atleast nevis will get alot of playing time

[hockey878]

yuck

Thats how I feel..... unless, like i said, someone from a different team got cut that they really like. i thought he played well.

Moala, Johnson, Nevis, Gill and Foster? :???:

I think polian wants to try donald brown out at DT.....

[colts89]

They must REALLY REALLY like Nevis,

Harris has done nothing but be a starter pass rushing, or maybe Harris asked for the release

SERIOUSLY!!! Because Tommie Harris is the best defensive tackle in the history of the world and was destroying every offensive lineman every play in the preseason!! Grrr, Polians... I should be GM!!

(warning: read cautiously)

[Phil J]

ok, but what did they see in Gill that they didn't see in Harris?

[SoCalColts]

If this is true that such a bad move in my opinion. He played very well and i think a veteran DT is better than any other guy we have. I wonder whose butt got save if this is true.

Edit: if they keep Gill over Harris im going have a cow cause Gill sucks IMO and i remember reading somewhere that Gill was a horrible football player and the only reason he would stay is for incredible strength. It was a colts article that i read awhile back.

My first thought is you have to be kidding me. He looked great against the Packers and had a sack. He looked very disruptive and quite frankly, IMO, brought everything to the position that we've been lacking. No doubt Nevis brings this as well. In the end, I figured we'd have: F Miola / T Harris / Nevis / A Johnson / Foster which would be cosniderable depth. I suppose until we see what the final roster looks like and if we go get a DT that brings the same threat as T Harris but with a better health record, we can't rush to a final judgement. That said, on the surface, this looks as stupid as our first round draft of Hughes a year ago.

The DT posistion needs all the help it can get. I know and have said before he's not what he used to be, but still he was nice depth to have.

[jtrester]

The Saints released Dexter Larimore, DT, from OSU. Could be a move for a younger, injury free DT, especially with Tressel on board now. They just cut Javarris James too.

[coltfaninnewyork]

Maybe a low level trade coming?{tyron last year}.Possible veterans on waiver wire today?

really,

so you think freakin Gill is going to do better??? The guy made a couple of great plays and pressures, and heck he got a DT SACK!!!!

He was extremely good Depth, and could have contributed to make a great D-;ine. He definitly wasn't cut because he didn't play to his contract, it must be because of the waiver wire or that they like Nevis THAT much, or an injury

This was a big B.S move otherwise, no one says they should be Polian, and don't kiss his butt for this, until we get an explanation.

thats what i have been saying/hoping for. on a slightly unrelated note i hope we keep evans and taj smith.

[MTC]

They just cut Javarris James too.

This could mean Donald "Bust" Brown is most likely on the roster. :rolleyes:

They aren't going to cut Brown. Just a hunch. If they would cut anyone, it would be Hughes. However, I don't see that happening either.

[Rashad]

i really hated this when i first saw it but now the more i think about it the more it makes since because he has already been injured in the limited time that he has been here just imagine a 19 game season ( cause we will be in the superbowl) he would just be a wasted roster spot until he proves he can stay healthy thats y i believe they will release gonzo today also

[coltfaninnewyork]

Call me crazy but polian would never cut brown or hughes,and admit that he messed up.On top of that throw in ugoh and polian is whiffing on first rounders{UGOH was a second rounder but we gave up a first}.This missing will cost us.I know polian does well with undrafted players but this is killing us.

[Rashad]

We did also have a lot of tackles at the position he plays so maybe we sign someone like a pat williams for the other dt position not trying to start a rumor but just a thought

[CR91]

ok is there any proof besides adam saying so because i keep googleing this and i cant get anyone supporting this

[Coltswarriors]

It's all over twitter and on rotoworld. He's cut, lol.

[MTC]

Well its now confirmed that Colts Waived Ricardo Matthews. Its still unconfirmed about Ollie Ogbu.

I can't remember the exact quote that Caldwell provided a la Dungy, but it referenced a players ability to play and not be hurt. I think the team learned a lot of lessons from last year in terms of injuries. Obviously, no player gets hurt on purpose and for the most part, it's unavoidable. However, if you have players in consideration for a roster and they have a history of being injured compared to another player who, while not as good as the oft-injured player but is on the field consistently, I think the Colts actions suggest they are going with the player who is proven to not get hurt / injured. Just my 2 cents. See Sanders............and oh yeah, bye bye Gonzo. I will be shocked if he's not cut. This solely predicated on this Tommie Harris cut and what seems to be the Colts focus (both in action and in words) as it relates to players health and the importance of that in relation to a roster spot.

[GoColts8818]

great so the colts will continue to get ZERO pressure from the DTs way to go front office :/. atleast nevis will get alot of playing time

Except for the fact Foster, Nevis, Moala, and Johnson have all gotten good presure this pre-season.

[CR91]

alright im starting to find links. hes cut which really sucks
