We just can't seem to win. Didn't know he was hurt.

[PrincetonTiger]

Not good news

He missed most of the week and the game

Opens a spot up for one of the youngsters

[21isSuperman]

I feel like even if we put up a brick wall at on the OL, the mortar would disintegrate and the wall would collapse.

Yeah, 'cept I think they're all in surgery today also.

[JlynRN]

Oh boy, more bad news for the O-line.  Seems like we just can't catch a break

Indy Star reported... "And the status of key backup Xavier Nixon is in doubt after he posted on Twitter that he was about to undergo surgery. Nixon has been battling a knee injury and has been unable to practice or even walk without a pronounced limp."

I hate to say it but...

Time to sign Richie Incognito.

No

[YOUR GM]

lol

[ruksak]

No

Why not? 

[PrincetonTiger]

Why not?

Everything that he brings with him

[Bravo]

Why not?

Unless he kept his dang mouth shut and bought in to our system there is no way I would sign him...

Team chemistry is a very important part in sports.

We need to sign someone since they are dropping like flies.

I have been totally for signing incognito.

Any problems we sick jones on him! But I think hed be fine

There should be some good backups found after loaded O line teams do their final cut.

[YOUR GM]

Throw Hasselbeck out there with 5 receivers and no linemen, just so we can get through god**** preseason, for cryin out loud

Agreed or someone could be let go early to give them a chance somewhere else they way the Cards let Ernie Sims go

I wouldn't necessarily support him coming here, I just wanted PrincetonTiger to explain his statement. I wanted to know what, exactly, made him say "no". That's all.

 

Everybody deserves another chance, and with proper leadership and a controlled locker room environment, I would only be interested in Incognito's skill-set. 

[ruksak]

Everything that he brings with him

Such as? 

 

How many times do I have to ask before you just say it? His foul mouth? His hazing practices? Media attention? A cool last name?

I was not a fan of RI before the Miami incident but I grew up around coaches and became a coach that frowned on dirty play

Dirty play and more dirty play

Ah, good answer. Vickerson in Denver is a good example of a brutish, out of control player hurting his team with his emotion. 

 

As for past indiscretions, such things need be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

I'd rather keep Matt healthy and throw Chandler to the sharks with no OL...

I do not know what to think

[DougDew]

Looks like Lance Louis and Joe Reitz are safe to make the 53. I would give RI a chance. I think the other players on the team are professional enough to not hold a grudge and would welcome him if he behaves.

The incognito incident occurred because of the system he grew up in. Coming in to a new one and seeing how ours operates, coupled with needing a job, I don't think he would be bad at all. Everyone acts different and says things differently when their with friends they like to joke around with and horse around, than they do in public and around other people. Just a fact of human nature. I think he would be fine.

He was drafted by the rams and wasn't that well thought there....that's how he ended up in Miami

He was run out if buffalo, before Miami. I still am ready to roll the dice with him. Sign him up Grigs.

[Tom Shanahan]

Good luck Xavier on his recovery. Good guy -- I had a chance to meet him at Jimmy Raye's annual free youth football camp in Fayetteville, N.C.

Nice thought, but would draw an illegal formation flag every play.

I don't, and believe your assumption to be wrong.  This post shows hos long history everywhere and it starts bad and get worse from there.  He would damage the Colts before we could ever turn him around.
