Rogers elevated to Active Roster [Merge]

[jwilli69]

I would like to see just a bit of restraint on the enthusiasm for this kid. If only our OC has half a NFL brain and put in some packages for this kid or will he sit on the bench and let the rb run right into the back of our olineman. If he only makes the catches that hit him in the hands I will call it a success.

[pgt_rob]

Let's go Da'Rick, I'm hoping for the best among many others for the love of God.

[coltsfanatic24]

I think it was because he was having issues learning the playbook.

I agree, but i would rather have a guy who knows half of the playbook that can catch then a guy in DHB that knows the entire playbook but can't catch.

[Indyfan4life]

DHB isn't going anywhere, just so you all know. Those of you who have been calling for him since before Wayne went down can finally shut up now and stop complaining. 

[Poster X]

Your wishes are granted... I hope Rogers puts on a show because we need someone to step up, and take over for Heyward-Bey who continues to let everyone down.

[buccolts]

Not yet. Just because he was activated doesn't mean he sees the field.

He was activated earlier in the year, and didn't huddle up then.

[jbaron04]

lets see what the kid can do he cant be any worst than some of the guys like reed and them, just waiting for Holmes to bench satele and me day will be made 

[jameszeigler834]

Now if he works out cut DHB.

[TKnight24]

Welp, guess he finally learned the playbook

Either that or the coaches are sick of DHB

[B-B]

Yay!

 

[James Harden]

sweet! Finally Rogers time to shine. I have been waiting for this.

[PrincetonTiger]

Good Luck DR

[Tark The Shark]

Interesting...

 

Could be a move that changes the offense, or just keeps us stagnant. 

 

Either way, I can't say it is a bad move because if Rodgers produces, it is savior. And if it doesn't work, we stay the way we are with DHB and Hilton and ride out the rest of the season.

[cjwhiskers]

Maybe Whalens more hurt than we know?

[BPM_Colt]

Can't be any worse than Darrius "I like to catch every ball with my shoulder pads" Heyward-bey

 

At least I hope not

[Restored]

Not yet. Just because he was activated doesn't mean he sees the field.

He was activated earlier in the year, and didn't huddle up then.

Think it's a little different now considering Reggie's injury and now apparently, Griff Whalen. Not to mention the severe drop off with DHB since being asked to do more.

[lollygagger8]

We're all pulling for you Da'Rick....time to step it up and show the Colts the maturity issues are long behind you and you are ready to ball.

[NewEra]

Hopeful he's got the subplot down and ready to play! Rooting for ya bud!

[jbaron04]

i always thought i wanted speed , well more speed on the team but after this last 2 yrs i much rather a guy that can catch first of all and anything else like speed and route running size is extra, rogers doesn't even have to be that good just catch the catch-able balls and he will be and instant upgrade of the   we have bin seeing

[ColtsLegacy]

I hope he's active for TNF.

the move that will save the off is benching mcglynn and satele, play holmes and give lenard davis a call or jason smith anybody 

[Mr.Debonair]

Hope he gets time at WR but I think it's more for ST

[jbaron04]

i dont hate DHB but he dont trust his hands i mean if he dropped a ball that hit his hand i could get over it but when it hits him right in the pads i 

[bestQBever]

hopefully this guy can become a starter soon. my starters would be hilton, rogers, and whalen. ( Not this upcoming game. I'm talking about later on in the season).

[Hoosier]

Here's hoping that all of his issues are behind him and that he can become the elite receiver that everything I've read indicates he has the potential to be.

[Gavin]

Im thinkin this has to do with Whalens injury and the short week, If I remember right it was his shoulder. Either way I hope Rogers makes an impact

[TKnight24]

We'll see him Thursday cause I don't think McGlynn will play so he'll be on the 46 we dress out

[backshoulderfade]

I doubt bringing in Da'Rick means we will be pass first. I've read a lot of draft profiles and watched a Lot of tape on him. He is a solid run blocker, I wonder could he block on some screens to TY or our RBs.

I really like the kid. He has a great pair of hands, and makes lots of circus catches. He does have the odd drop now and again when he is thinking too far ahead. Hopefully he has gained some polish on the practise squad. I also hope he knows the playbook inside out and has matured mentally. He can be a fantastic target for us, especially on 3rd down, if he continues in the same way he played his college career.

[Franklin County]

I don't know anything about this kid other then what I have read here. I hope he can catch a ball and hold on to it.

 

And as long as he has a    I will root for him to succeed!!!

Lets go DaRick represent the   and kick some Titans butt!!!

[Matticusp83]

And this fixes or o line how?

[Captain Americolt]

I can't believe i'm actually excited about this. They guy was on PS for a reason. I don't think he will amount to anything. I really hope i'm wrong. We need someone to step up.

[Captain Americolt]

And this fixes or o line how?

Who said it did? 

[jbaron04]

hopefully this guy can become a starter soon. my starters would be hilton, rogers, and whalen. ( Not this upcoming game. I'm talking about later on in the season).

i rather brazil over whalen , 

[BlueCollarColts]

I called this, but my question is will we use him or are we just bringing him up to stash him on the bench? Hopefully we start him over DHB

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

Now if he works out cut DHB.

Nah, in the playoffs he could change a game or field position just by his speed. Don't cut him. Just only play him when needed

[Matticusp83]

Who said it did? 

thats what i was saying we need a better O line not another receiver. jmo

[ColtsLegacy]

thats what i was saying we need a better O line not another receiver. jmo

Wrong, we need both. They're not mutually exclusive.

[krunk]

Hope you guys are right,if he's so special how come no other team plucked him off practice squad?

 

 

Just because someone is on a practice squad does not mean they are not a very good football player.

Arian Foster was a practice squad player and look how he turned out. Oh he happened to be from Tennessee too!
