John Chick.......

[Exodus]

Why in the freaking WORLD was this man cut??? Did anyone see his play for the Jags tonight? He was continuously putting pressure on the QB, heck, he even did that in the preseason with us. I doesn't make any sense. With our DE's playing SSOO bad this year, why would (in my mind) a possible flex end who can, CAN, put as much pressure on a QB like Freeney and Mathis be cut? He's a great player and i bet the Colts sure do miss him at this point.

No defensive end matters when your corners are giving 8 yard cushions in the red zone. I think that's being proven decisively by this team. We have much bigger problems than John Chick could solve.

this was an example of polian brashness instead of making the obvious choice. Chick is a work horse and would be a more effective guy in our rotation than hughes and would work hard to create impact on special teams. Proof this team needs a bit of a smack in the face

This is an example of someone trying to bring up a player they like and is mad the colts didn't keep him when he can't solve the problem the colts are having. It's also called bitterness in some places.

[Ryan Pelley]

They even referred to him as the Jaguars' pass rush specialist. Grrrr.

Not really saying much when they didn't really have a true pass rush specialist all of last year...

Yea, well now they do, and his name is John Chick, so that's plenty of reason for Colts fans to get mad.

ehh...I'd say it's more a reason for Jerry Hughes haters to be mad than Colts fans. We had much more invested in Hughes both in time and money plus Hughes is 5 years younger so imo much better chance of upside with Hughes than Chick.

Like he was going to play that much over Freeney or Mathis, then Anderson or Brayton. He was just dead weight.

cause the colts have the great jerry hughes obv!!!!!

I was also hoping we would have kept him, but we have lots of people at DE. We have Freeney, Mathis, Anderson, Brayton and yes, the one and only Hughes. From what I remember, we offered him a spot but also informed him that he wouldn't get lots of playing time. He preferred to go somewhere where he would get lots of playing time

[JCPatriot]

They offered him a spot on the practice squad. The Jags also offered him a spot on the practice squad. He looked at where the Colts stood in terms of DE and where the Jags stood in terms of DE and decided that he would have a better chance of getting bumped up to the active roster with the Jags than he would with the Colts. He was right.
