Colts Sign S Larry Asante

[NagelHausForge]

Per Irsay via Twitter.  That didn't take long...

[Indyfan4life]

Saw that on my app this morning.

[HungarianColtsFan]

He was in future-reserved contract with the Colts.

 

Lefeged must have been waived on a very serious issue. It doesn't seems to me planned move.

[Dr. T]

Remind me about this guy again. What's his story? He was on our team at one point before, right?

[BlueShoe]

We should have kept him over Lefeged to begin with.

 

Just my two cents.

[HungarianColtsFan]

He was in a reserve/future contract with us since December 31. 2012. Now he is signed to the roster.

Larry Asante was a boss in preseason. Glad we signed him. For sure better than mr. Toasty Cassius Vaughn. I hope this signing is because Laron's injury is sadly serious. Has anyone herd anything lately on Laron's ankle. We NEED HIM THIS WEEK

LaRon will most likely miss this game and be back for the next. That's what I've been seeing anyway.

ISNT SERIOUS LOL

He was in DNP status yesterday.

 

I think Asante was signed to replace Lefeged. And we desperately need Landry.

Sorry, can you speak up please?

[NewEra]

He was with us during training camp and preseason right? If I remember he played really well and people wanted him to stick.

[jwilli69]

Don't have much an opinion on this guy as he hasn't played enough to know. One thing I can say is Landry is exactly what we all thought and feared. Really a hard hitting difference maker but plays a game or two then out three or four. Team needs consistency in the secondary.

[pgt_rob]

Larry played awesome in preseason. But that's only preseason. He should fit in well.

 

I'm disappointed with Landry now. He has an ankle injury, how long does that take for him to play, couple more weeks or what?

[csmopar]

Man I was hoping Landry would be good to go for this game...

Laron Landry got rolled up on in the Dolphins game i believe it was. That's outta his control. Happens to linemen all the time; nothing you can do about that. No one has eyes in the back of their head

Pick 6 in the pre-season. Ring any bells?

[Old Colt]

May be because both Landry and Howell will be out this week......  I hope not...

[Gavin]

Good signing, Asante had a good preseason for the Colts, glad he is being brought back for at least the short term, I like his potential

[jameszeigler834]

Yes preseason and i was actually mad they cut him after preseason. glad he is getting a second chance.

[throwing BBZ]

Asante was pretty bad when he played in regular season games last season, when Lefeged had played OK.
He has had some time to get the mental aspect. GL kid.

[SOMDColtsfan]

We should have kept him over Lefeged to begin with.

 

Just my two cents.

Agree 100%

[Nyvart]

I'm a die-hard Colts & Nebraska fan (alum)... Asante was a highly regarded JUCO transfer and stepped up immediately and started/shined for his two years in Lincoln.  We haven't had a better safety than him at Nebraska since.  I'm very happy he'll get his chance - he played really well in the preseason.

 

Larry is a very, very good guy.  I would say that he's better at run support than pass coverage but no one will work harder and I'm excited to see him.  I imagine he'll be on Kickoff unit as well.

[MTC]

Asante was great in the pre-season. Good move to replace Lefeged.

[coltsfanmilyman]

Howell is probable according to colts injury report

[HtownColt]

LaRon will most likely miss this game and be back for the next. That's what I've been seeing anyway.

Yea Pagano said that today in his press conference, also said RJF was doing well and ahead of schedule but still is out this week. So maybe next week for both of them

What are you talking about? Asante hasn't played a regular season game since week 17 of 2011 with the Bucs

I think we have been consistent in the secondary for quite a number of years, with Sanders, Bullitt, and Landry we have the most consisent core of abscenses in the league. Give us some credit, it's not an easy thing to do there

[PrincetonTiger]

I had him on the final 53

[shakedownstreet]

we're goin' to the superbowl honkies!

And when it came to Bullitt, when he was healthy and playing, we (the fans) wished he was absent.

[Zubulon Zellenzevo]

• Howell will play Sunday along side of Asante

I think you mean Bethea...

There are a lot of injuries that players can't avoid but the point was, Landry had a major injury plagued career before he signed and we now have seen him miss a lot of time already because of injuries. Some players can just avoid or play through it and some can't. Landry appears to be one who can't whether it be his fault or not, it's dissappointing.

He was gonna play in the 49ers game but the medical staff held him out. He said he's ready but the medical staff are playing it safe so he'll be back next week for the chargers game. This is his 1st time missing any games since 2 years. He played all 16 for the Jets last year. But hey; injuries happen

[rock8591]

For a second, I thought we signed Asante Samuel.

[jwilli69]

It's not worth arguing over this. He is hurt and he has had a history of it. If he comes back to play the rest of the season I will be happy but I'm not betting on it.
