Pat Angerer placed on IR, Colts sign RB

[Happy2BeHere]

didn't realize John had a uni-brow

I bet he doesn't now!

[pgt_rob]

Maybe we signed the new RB for punt returns rather than having Griff out there since we are thin at WR.

Pat Angerer will have surgery

@mchappell51: Reason #colts shut down LB Pat Angerer was for him to address a knee injury that's bothered him all season. Will have surgery.

I have no idea if he is a fit for the current scheme on defense, but I was sure he was playing hurt this year. He didn't seem to be moving around well or making plays. Too bad for Pat, this could end his NFL days.

[Narcosys]

I'm usually pretty good at picking stats and spreads, since that's one of my hobbies and how i earn a substantial income from betting. This week, i have the colts to win by 10+ (24-13) and i'll place another on choice to go over 60.

Are you forgetting what jamaal charles just did? He'll get 2 TD's alone.

[jameszeigler834]

this team has to play well to win this game anyway also don't forget colts defense gave up 352 rushing yards in last years week 16 matchup to KC cant do that again and win again.

well good reason I guess but why another RB in his place?.

One game has nothing to do with the other. I think our team had their fill of Jamaal Charles after last year's game; he's even more prominent on the radar now. I think there will be plenty of focus on Charles in this game, and if we tackle well, we can hold him in check.

Angerer days as a Colt are numbered. Tough guy played through lots of injuries but just wasn't a good fit in the 3-4 defense. The coaches already don't seem to like Conner as much which will leave us with just Freeman at ILB next year. ILB has to be one of the early picks in the draft for us next year.

Donald Butler or Perry Riley would get a strong look at from us i would think. both play in a 3-4 currently.

No thanks on Riley. I'd rather give the spot to McNary or Conner.

I was worried Browns injury was worse than a " stinger " when I never saw him back on the sideline after he left the game . Hope it's not real bad he has been running with reckless amendment every time he got the ball . It's hard to believe how many RB's we've went through this year  hope that trend doesn't continue we need every healthy body we have at this point .

[CanuckColt]

  Do you think maybe Pat still has a promblem with prior injury with his foot or ankle, If I'am correct he was injured earlier in the season where surgery was a option or was it a knee injury

Poor Angerer sures seems like he falls into the injury-prone catagory.

Our Run D is not what it was like at the beginning of the season and were 27th overall gaining nearly 129 yards a game against any running back.  Charles isnt just any running back.  We say that same stuff about MJD and Foster and Johnson, but they continually gain tons of yards on us.  He ran all over us last time, i expect him to do it again.

MJD and Johnson have been held in check this year. Johnson had a couple TDs the first game, but we shut him down in the second half. 

 

I know the run D numbers don't look good, but I think we're capable of handling any back in the league. So long as we tackle well. I'm much more concerned about Charles as a receiver, to be honest.

[Narcosys]

but I think we're capable of handling any back in the league.

[HawkeyesColts]

One of my favorite Colts(and Hawkeyes), read the article in the Indy Star about this and him becoming a free agent at the end of the season.

[coltsfansince65]

Well, I know this makes a lot of people happy. Now if we can only get our 1st rounder back all would be right with the universe..............or at least the chatroom............

[Douzer]

well good reason I guess but why another RB in his place?.

They've clinched, so they can make a few moves at different positions to get guys rest where possible? 

[AlanNC]

I am a North Carolina Tarheel fan an Shaun Draughn was a great RB at North Carolina.  He will help but not much time to learn the O.  Look him up on YouTube.

Tashard Choice didn't have much time to learn the O, and he did well.

[coltsfansince65]

Pat stinks anyway

That's too bad. Word is he thinks highly of you......

[IndyScribe]

That's too bad. Word is he thinks highly of you......

Everyone outside of the Colts says that it was a huge loss, and he was really good.

[jbaron04]

"pat angerer has not made one play all season"

You should see someone about that deep seeded hatred you have for him

gav name a play ???

[jbaron04]

this is not true!

name the plays??

[coltsfansince65]

gav name a play ???

He's got .5 a sack & a pick.

[jbaron04]

To say he has not made one play all year is plan ignorant!!

pat has not made a winning play all yr, he cost us several a games him self

[jbaron04]

That's too bad. Word is he thinks highly of you......

he is a great guy u root for but, he is over the hump and hasnt evn started the hill

[jbaron04]

He's got .5 a sack & a pick.

that sack , the other guy had him first and pat fell on them, the int lol come on , he got burnt and ran over every game u cant defend this guy , he is a fan favorite for what he did 3 yrs ago face it new system, he is to slow, to weak, not a good good fit, did u our lbs flying around

[dudeski]

Angerer is no loss. Dude wasnt playing well and was getting snaps taken from him

[coltsfansince65]

So who will you pick on in chat now that your mark is finally gone?

[#87WayneFanHe'sTheMan]

Brown will practice today so the new guy is apparently just for special teams.

 

Craig Kelley ‏@CraigKColts 19m

Pagano says Donald Brown will practice today.

 

 

Kevin Bowen ‏@KBowenColts 22m

Pagano says Colts special teams coach Tom McMahon has familiarity with new RB-Shaun Draughn from days in Kansas City.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

name the plays??

Watch the games never made 1 play??? Really???

[Rian Huff]

We have 2 healthy RB's

This RB signing is bad news for Donald Brown. Chuck Pagano already said Griff Whalen is fine. So that means Donald Brown isn't

honestly hope your wrong but with whalen back and how he did on return we obviously didn't sign him for a returner

[jbaron04]

Watch the games never made 1 play??? Really???

ok he had a half sack with Werner
