WR Griff Whalen elevated to 53-Man Roster, CB Jalil Brown waived

[Caleb3502]

The Colts brought up Griff Whalen to the 53-man roster most likely because of Brazill's injury, and waived CB Jalil Brown. 

[Dustin]

Probably means Brazill is out.

[Caleb3502]

Brazill did not practice all week with the foot injury and was in a walking boot.

[MaoBerry]

Doesn't really matter, because brazill's numbers last game were due largely to rogers being doubled/tripled teamed. Whalen will also produce in a similiar fashion.

[SkyBane]

Probably means Brazill is out.

It would basically have to. We only really carry 4WR on the roster.

[Franklin County]

   I don't know about that.   Guess we will see come game time.

[Bluefire4]

I hope he gets more separation.. maybe DHB will have to be the 3rd receiver. 

[PrincetonTiger]

This must mean LB injury must be a bit more serious than some thought.

[1959Colts]

Win one for "The Griffer"

[dudeski]

Hopefully he never plays

[TKnight24]

Hopefully he never plays

You do realize he's gonna play right?

[hawkeyes]

The guy can catch the ball - given enough reps he would prove his value.

[Narcosys]

you apparently have not watched the games. There have been numerous plays where whalen was wide open but luck never threw to him. Rather always going to his first read

[TKnight24]

Prime Example: The interception Andrew Luck threw against the Dolphins this year. Griff Whalen WIDE OPEN running a drag route across the middle, Andrew throws it up to Reggie Wayne smh

Having a HOF WR on your team has it's pros & cons I tell you

[RomanianColtsFan]

With all that talk about Luck and Whalen being good friends in college let's admit that Luck hasn't helped Whalen's chances on being on the field that much.

[dudeski]

no

thats because Whalen sucks

[TKnight24]

no

*Walks you over to your TV*

Well, you see this device here? Tomorrow when you sit down to watch the game, you'll see Griff Whalen at some point in the game.

*Hands you a glass of apple juice*

Now relax & stop being so cranky, it's too early for that

he might play some,unfortunately. Hopefully brazill is healthy so whalen gets cut again next week. Just being on the roster doesn't guarantee him snaps

And stay away from my tv.

Numerous is a stretch. But hey we'll see this week. Wayne is out and Luck didn't have any problems getting it to Rogers and Brazill last week.

[GoColts8818]

Even if Brazil can go (which I don't think they sign Whalen now at least if there wasn't some fear he won't play) I'd rather see Whalen out there than DHB.

[TKnight24]

Ty Hilton

Da'Rick Rogers

DHB

Lavon Brazill

Griff Whalen

Those are the only WR's we have on the roster. Lavon Brazill probably won't play so Griff Whalen is guaranteed to play.

[dudeski]

Even if Brazil can go (which I don't think they sign Whalen now at least if there wasn't some fear he won't play) I'd rather see Whalen out there than DHB.

that is such a tough call

[SilentHill]

Brazill said he is playing on Sunday.

[BigQandTheManiac]

Brazill said he is playing on Sunday.

yea i heard that too...maybe they just brought whalen up cause they don't wanna put DHB on the field period....

[ReMeDy]

Doesn't really matter, because brazill's numbers last game were due largely to rogers being doubled/tripled teamed. Whalen will also produce in a similiar fashion.

 

Yea that's right, they better triple Rogers. That guy is a beast. He's the 2nd coming of Jerry Rice.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

if any receiver gets cut I think we can all agree that it shouldn't be whalen... Also let's not forget fleener being flexed as well so still a chance we see limited dhb

[dudeski]

not so sure about that. Tough call between him and dhb

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

not so sure about that. Tough call between him and dhb

maybe its just me. . I had plenty of patience with dhb but after the Tennessee game couple weeks ago in completely done, so the is some bias in my approach

[jwilli69]

Brazill said he is playing on Sunday.

How many platers have we heard that from only to watch them sitting on the sidelines sunday?

[SkyBane]

Statistically, he and Whalen are very similar. Griff's drop rate isnt far behind Heyward-Bey's. The major difference is DHB has speed, Whalen does not. Between the two, DHB is probably better.

DHB is not better than Griff Whalen. DHB isn't better than any of the forum members kids. He's garbage

[SkyBane]

So is Griff Whalen. Arguing over which dumpster fire stinks less is largely pointless, but if you have to take one, at least make it the one that can be disguised as something other than a dumpster fire for a play or two.

[B~Town]

Would rather have DHB on the field at last he can make blocks or something Whalen isn't talented enough to even make another teams practice squad . If Whalen and Luck didn't play together and have knowledge of the system there is no way he would be on the team . I hope Brazill's injury isn't worse than thought .

[throwing BBZ]

Numerous is a stretch. But hey we'll see this week. Wayne is out and Luck didn't have any problems getting it to Rogers and Brazill last week.

 

Gee, I`ve watched Luckoff target and having trouble getting to everyone everyweek. Must admit he IS coming along on the dump pass to Richardson against a prevent defense.

[coltsfanatic24]

Brazil will still probably start sunday but Griff will get some reps as the 4th WR. The coaches have completely loss faith in DHB, the guy just can't catch at all.

[BOTT]

Doesn't really matter, because brazill's numbers last game were due largely to rogers being doubled/tripled teamed. Whalen will also produce in a similiar fashion.

Doubtful

[James Harden]

So We didn't sign Deon Branch and now elevated Griff Whalen. I guess that would be the right move since it would take awhile for Deon the learn the playbook. who knows... Griff might get on fire vs the Texans

[dudeski]

Gee, I`ve watched Luckoff target and having trouble getting to everyone everyweek. Must admit he IS coming along on the dump pass to Richardson against a prevent defense.

what is your favorite team?

[Caleb3502]

Whalen brought up to deactivate DHB.  Hopefully if Brazill actually said he's going to play
