Colts make roster moves now at 78

[BOTT]

Some could say the same about DHB when we signed him. You could be right but then again he could be quite dangerous with luck at QB

Not really a good comparison

[Andy]

Well at least Ijalana was not cut.  Maybe there is still hope.  I think he should definitely be kept as one of the backups.

 

There are 25 cuts to go. He's far from safe.

[VaAllDay757]

hopefully green will be cut next week

I like Marshay Green. He's a playmaker.

not in coverage

[HarryTheCat]

People loved them some Tommy Streete in the draft a couple years ago. Never understood why, the guy stinks.

I doubt that the Colts will go after Streeter. He was on IR all of last year, so he has exactly zero receptions in his "almost" NFL career. If the Ravens saw even a glimmer of hope for him I think they would welcome a guy who could contribute at WR.

not in coverage

 

He played well in coverage yesterday, even had a pass defensed. He also had a nice punt return. In the Giants game he had a sack by using his speed. Judging by the reaction of Pagano and Manusky following that sack I felt they like Green and that kind of confirmed their expectations for him (or for that play).

His middle name Blanda?  

Wow, Blanda played till he was 48 years old. Here is a little trivia-- Blanda was the first pick overall in the first known fantasy football league in 1962. The leagues name was The Greater Oakland Professional Pigskin Prognosticators League. He played 26 years of pro football. 

[MTC]

The only player who I'm a bit surprised at is Davin Meggett. Thought he performed well enough to make 75.

Well, maybe we can teach Luck to kick FG's, and have him be around til he's 48 too...   He does look like a linebacker, hits like a safety, why not teach him to kick...

 

Blanda was amazing that he performed as well as he did for all those years. Much respect and admiration for that man.

Mcmanus didn't get a fair shot.

[Old Colt]

Okay, who are the next three?

I expect more than three will be released as we likely will bring in a player or two that were released by other teams in postitions we need to strengthen!  The monster grows bigger ever day!  Exciting times!

[PrincetonTiger]

The TEs must not be at 100% yet since Hughes hasn't been cut yet

[COLT in J-ville]

C.O. Prime is such a good name. Sounds like a character name that would have been on The Replacements

[atapcl]

Surprised that Loiseau and Sowell made it to 75.

lanear sampson as well....justin sabrano (spell-check)

 

I am able to get to 57 with my cuts....but the last 4 hurt.  It has to kill Coaches.

[Gavin]

Mcmanus didn't get a fair shot.

Nor was he meant to

Especially Pagano when a DL, LB, and safety will have to be cut and it seems they should make it.

[atapcl]

Mcmanus didn't get a fair shot.

I thought he had a fair shot. He is going to be a good K. Some team will pick him up.

[BrentMc11]

Just like he was sooooo happy after Marshay Green's nice return.  We know he cares about all of the guys.  

 

Note:  Green just the example here...he is knocking on a roster spot door.

Why do you believe he did not get a fair shot? Do you think the Colts want to bring him back to the PS?

Mcmanus was brought in to get Vinatieri a break come the second half so not to tire him out

[Gavin]

Lefeged

Sowell

Robert Hughes

Swanson

You could be right but I did not think he worked his leg very much. McAfee kicks off and can kick FGs. Maybe McAfee needed a break since he punts also.

I am wondering why McManus was signed to a 2 year deal......I wondered it from day 1.....I am going to see if sortrac has been updated since his release.

Not on there, but Dan Moore still shows with a 3 yr deal....oh well.

The first time I noticed Ashante Williams on the field, I initially thought it was Kerwynn Williams and was trying to figure out why they were playing him at Safety.  Then I looked up the roster and realized I'd forgotten about Ashante Williams.  lol
