In response to Dallas Clark and Brody Eldridges' injuries on Sunday, The Colts have signed 3rd year Eagles practice squad player Anthony Hill

Height: 6-6

Drafted in 2009, 4th round by the Texans

In 3 seasons (5 games played) he has 1 catch for 9 yards. That catch came against the Colts in 2009.

It was easier to just sign McNeill from the PS. McNeill is a good blocker, plus he's an okay receiver. Kinda like a not as good Jacob Tamme, but still not bad.

Superbowl. Start planning the parade.

We just signed a future Hall Of Famer!! Great sign Polian! :morning:

[WSO]

Not only Tamme but don't we also have Santi? I haven't kept track of the roster due to all the injuries

[colts52761]

what about Epps off the practice squad?

And your proposed better option would be......?

Santi no longer on roster including PS

Mike McNeil

I think Hill is more for playing Brody's part while Tamme picks up Dallas' duties. I think Colts fans will have to get used to having a beefy blocker as the #2 TE for sometime.

A.J. Edds is LB and still on the roster - Dedrick Epps is a TE currently on our PS

Two more Colts injuried. This can't all be attribtued to just "bad luck." We have the most brittle, unconditioned, stiff individuals posing as NFL talent in the league. It is almost criminal how bad our strength and conditioning program has been over the past several years. It certainly doesn't help that we continually draft/sign these midget people with a documented injury history and expect them to stand up to the rigors of the NFL. Everything about this team has become a pathetic joke this season!

we've been through this..

The Colts really dont have more injuries than other teams

Look at the Giants this year...

or the Packers last year...

[doogansquest]

Weren't the Steelers without Farrior, Woodley, and Harrison against the Patriots? Every team has just as many injuries as we do. I guess every strength and conditioning coach is terrible and should be fired.

Mike McNeil

So we sign someone off of someone else's PS instead of our own and that leads to:

We just signed a future Hall Of Famer!! Great sign Polian! :morning:

But if we'd signed McNeil instead then you'd have replied differently? Yeah, I'm thinking probably not. I just think it's funny how some people jump right to the sarcasm-riddled responses of "great sign Polian, our season is saved" etc etc for any signing that takes place.

you dont see them getting injured every year now do you? the colts have a problem... they look worse than previous raider teams.

And your proposed better option would be......?

They don't have one...they just like to lady and moan over everything the Polians do. Talk about beating a dead horse...where is the ASPCA when you need them.

Injuries are part of the game, especailly this season with no offseason conditioning or work outs, just look around the league at all the players going down.
