Nnamdi on waivers!

[Superman]

How in the wide world of sports is Cassius Vaughn making $1.3M guaranteed!!!?????

It was an RFA tender. Not that pricey, it's the lowest tender there is. And it's guaranteed once the season starts because Vaughn is a vested veteran.

[TKnight24]

No, but I'll take Greg McCoy

[HarassedOffTheSite]

I'd bring him in.

 

Wrong Forum.

I'm not saying we should go get him but its a no brainier he is better than Vaughn one legged.

i saw that one poster said he was better than Toler that's nonsense but at the same time Nnamdi started one game this year at SF. That's about one game more than Toler would have started there.

[Dustin]

This season he was thrown at 11 times allowing 4 receptions for 63 yards and he's missed 4 tackles.

[chrisfarley]

i think we will probably pick him up as a backup.  albeit a weak backup , but better than some ineptitude we've seen thus far. no names mentioned.

You want actual breakdown of what is going on with the Colts? Find podcasts on either 1260AM or 1070AM that Rick Venturi does. An ex NFL coordinator who follows the Colts religiously. You know what he thinks the strength of the Colts' D is - its secondary. He made the point several times earlier this year of how many sacks were coverage sacks. Shockingly that flies in the face of your beliefs. Somethng is amiss...

I never once said that the secondary is not the strength of our defense...I dont know where you got that from. Now did I say Toler was not a #2? Sure did(I said that before he even played a game for us), Because if he aint gettin a pick then he is gettin picked on, there is not much of a middle ground there at this point

He bit hard on a double move vs the 49ers the first time he was thrown at, seems to be a common theme, In press man he would be fine I think, His tackling technique is awful though, still his coverage ability in Man is better the Vaughns

Oh for Heaven's sake, you don't have a glaring weak link the way you suggest Toler is and have his position group as part of the D's strength. A glaringly bad corner is easy to find.

while not as glaring as Cassius Vaughn, he is pretty glaring

This about sums up my thoughts on bringing in Nnmadi

 

[ThatOneColtFan]

He would be better than Toler playing man on the weak side.

 

That's where he's his best.

 

But we can't afford him anyway.

[Dustin]

But we can't afford him anyway.

 

Absolutely can. 

[Dustin]

He does have ties to Grigs and Pagano.

 

Pags was the DB coach in Oakland during Nnamdi's time there and Grigs was apart of the FO that created the dream team.

If the price is right (and it should be after getting cut by SF), I'm all for bringing him in. He gives at the very least good depth and with the way our CB's have been getting dinged up during games, we could sure as hell use it..

If he's claimed by anyone, it costs them about $500k for the rest of the season.

[ThatOneColtFan]

Absolutely can. 

 

Ah I see.

 

Didn't know this.

 

I still don't think we peruse him though. Texans game made me realize that missing Toler (despite his downsides) cause a lot of match up problems for us. For instance, we had Vaughn on Andre Johnson at one point, lol, awful. Butler played on him too, he isn't bad, but is a far better asset against slot WRs. Although, Davis got beat on two plays by Johnson, he's already proven he can play against #1's. But Andre's double move was absolutely deadly that night. Bethea continues to be inconsistent in pass coverage this year. He used to be one of the guys you didn't need to worry about.

 

With that said, I'd welcome Nnamdi with open arms.

Not surprising honestly, no big loss there.
