The Colts are trying to sign former CFL #1 pick LB Hec Muamba!  The Winnipeg Bluebombers just freed him to sign with an NFL team. This guy has HUGE potential!  He played Canadian university football in my hometown at STFX, and was a stud!  He would be a great add across from Freeman.  Get this guy Grigson!

 

I have seen him play many times, and he has big time upside.  Athletic, fast, smart and big - not to mention a great kid who would fit in very well with the Colts.

Mark my words - this would be a great signing!  Do NOT lose him to the Patriots or the Vikings - the other two teams chasing him at this point!

Yep, but it was between us and the Patriots for Armstead. Just pointing out we seem to have a CFL target each year. Armstead never even played I believe.

Ok. This year it's probably Sheets or Muamba. Although in the article it never said that the Colts were interested in him.

 

PFT.

He will go to the Pats, bank on it. They are a popular name and will draw him because they are the Patriots.

 

He may end up with the Pats, but I think if we really wanted him we would be equally appealing ... we have shown we are more than willing to give players who came to us in non-traditional ways (draft) a real shot, and Freeman being one of those guys also from CFL IMO would give us a legitimate shot.

 

I think Grigson's willingness to look outside the box, and gamble a little on players gives us a leg up with players like this as well as popular UDFAs.

Agree completely. If he wants a real shot to be a starter, I say the Colts are the obvious choice. I really hope we are interested because we need some help at LB and he looks like a rare athlete. He could be a great compliment to Freeman and I'm sure it'd be nice to get some advice from a guy that's made the transition and succeed immediately. I think Grigson makes us very appealing to these type of players. Let's see what happens but I would be all for it.

Interesting. Would be another one to follow if he decides to sign with us of course, but if he does, would be as I said interesting and exciting to follow along through out OTA's and minicamp and training camp and preseason etc. Who knows maybe he will come to us. but wherever he ends up best of luck to the young man.

Colts might as well move to the CFL. There is raw talent in the CFL but c'mon stick with U.S players. Red blooded american can play real football. joking aside. Sure try the guy out. Wouldn't mind more competition for the defense. 

 

I know you're joking, but if you read the CFL boards there actually is some sort of required Canadian Player Ratio that CFL teams must meet and many CFL fans don't seem to like it.

      Bad clock management at the end of the game

      A “fireable offense?”

      AR vs Bryce Young

      It clearly isn’t all the line  in panthers land. Dalton had no issues. Young is small and meak. He gets swamped up. He isnt like Murray. If young had Murray’s body type he might be ok but he doesn’t. He looks like he don’t know what he is doing.

      Bad clock management at the end of the game

      That is so far my third biggest gripe with SS.  First being his offense seems very vanilla.  We are approaching Frank Reich status here.   Second I don't think AR is making as much progress as he should be.   Third he seems to make very poor in game decisions and then takes the blame as if that is a huge testament to his character.   I could care less about character.  Just learn how to coach.  And when the clock is at 2:01 and you have a kickoff coming against a team with 1 timeout left?  You run the ball out of the endzone and you literally scream at your special teamers or your special teams coach to do that.   The fact that he didn't literally tells me he is a stupid person when it comes to football IQ.

      Colts vs Bears post game thread

      What did you think of Luck after his first 7 games? How about Peyton Manning? Josh Allen? Richardson has a higher completion percentage (54.8) than Luck ( 49.5) and Allen ( 52.8) through his first 7 games. And less than 5% completion percentage behind Manning (59.5). Richardson has more Yards per throw (7.4) than any of them (Manning 7.1, Allen 6.8 and Luck 6.5) . Richardson has a higher QB rating (72.7) than Manning (71.8) and Luck (65.9), and less than 4% points behind Allen (76.3). Sure..... Allen is the exception that proves the rule.... ok. Richardson's accuracy is the type of throws that CAN be fixed. Those short and intermediate throws are easier to fix than the deeper routes. And oh by the way, it's not like we havent seen him do it. He had a darned near 60% completion percentage last year in the games he played as a pure rookie. The guy is coming off of season ending surgery and had no offseason and you are writing him off..... give me a break.

      AR vs Bryce Young

      Today AR is ahead, but he wasn’t when they were picked. Young WAS far more accurate in College. And he led a team to a National Championship.  That has to mean something.
