MrNLM Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 If we were not able to get Bradshaw under contract I would say we should look at Sproles but, Our line has not been so good at setting up the HB screen pass. We have decent luck with the WR screen pass so maybe it would still work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snkdy Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 I really didn't expect Sproles to be cut. I guess they're clearing room for Graham. Pierre Thomas is screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Jeff Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Darren Sproils would be very good w/ the Colts Although we truly need an OLine to block for any and all of our Rbacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwiz Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 They're cutting Sproles too? Wow, keeping superstars really does take a toll on a team. Luckily for the Saints they don't necessarily need really good backs and receivers since they have Brees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Y Goodbye Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Moore is being replace by Kenny Stills, who had a pretty good rookie season, and Brees was getting a lot more comfortable with week by week. Still can be a great receiver, especially with Brees, and he's on a rookie contract. Plus, they still have Colston, and Meachem, so this wasn't a surprise. I can also see Sproles being released, as they have found a gem of a RB named Khiry Robinson. He's not a receiving threat as is Sproles, but at 6' 220 that hits the hole hard, teamed with Ingram and Thomas, makes for a still solid backfield. There are going to be a lot of surprise cuts this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldunclemark Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Why is a Graham worth doing this when they can franchise him go all-in for next year ..and then make changes if that fails ? With Drew at 35 years old, they don't have time to rebuild....and there's no argument they're less without these 2 players for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewbacca Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Lance Moore isn't that good. Sproles is a declining receiving back and it was obvious Payton was gearing towards a more physical running scheme. Say hello to the Khiry Robinson/Ingram era down in New Orleans.

Iancolts Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Yeah I totally agree but to tweet he was surprised and didn't like what happen was DUMB! He knew they had to clean house to retain him. I'm glad he is getting paid he is an athelethic freAk. But he knows very well that it was bound to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should know that it's a business. Again pay me or let me go find the contract I deserve. I don't blame him but at the same time when you are asking for top dollar you can't act surprised when other players get cut from the team to make room for you.

bap1331 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Sproles doesn't fit into the colts system. He's mostly good with screen plays which the patriots, saints and chargers do alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synthetic Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Oh yeah, that's just great. No more Lance Moore, but Colston isn't getting any younger. Sproles is not a factor. He's not the main ball carrier, that title goes to Pierre Thomas. Losing Lance Moore is going to really hurt, cause Kenny Stills is still young, plus Brees already keys on Graham way, way too much. In a way,you can't blame Graham for wanting more money cause he does get treated like a WR with how Brees keys on him way too much but at the same time, he needs be thankful to be on this team. Joe Morgan is coming back and that's not exactly great. I don't see where he did much last year. I am glad I held out on buying a Moore jersey, I'm not too pleased he's gone.
