Rey good to hear

Perhaps Adongo will get his chance next season.  If anything, this year can be used to help him understand the calls and playbook to a greater extent.

Projects like this rarely work out.  I've lost any hope of someone like this making it in the NFL.  It's just too hard to be NFL better.

It's one thing to take time to learn the game. But if you're injured in the limited times you've played, maybe it's time to move on.

I guess I expected a rugby player to be more durable.

I was really hoping to see the progress Adongo had made. This sucks

[SOMDColtsfan]

guess was a pipe dream..Adongo the 2nd coming of Lawrence Taylor.. still may be, one can dream!

Exactly.  "Glass Bob", who was awesome for a little while, was very short, this guy is hulk size..... rub some dirt on it.

IMO part of this is that the coaches don't think he's final 53 worthy so they're stashing him a bit, bicep injuries do take a while to heal but a full season is doubtful.

I will admit, I am relieved for selfish reasons.

 

Perhaps Adongo and Pendleton were not as good as we think they are. Combined, they have less than 10 career tackles. There's a reason why both were unclaimed by waivers and also were basically undrafted free agents.

Hopefully Swoope and Adongo prove everyone wrong. 

 

We'll see!

Pendleton is a completely different case.  He has played well enough in limited action to be claimed if healthy, but at age 30 and out for the year with an ACL, nobody is going to tie up a spot on their 90 man roster to claim a low mileage developmental player that they can't use for a year.

Come on now.....

 

Adongo was playing another sport halfway around the world when we found him and is still learning.   He's 1-year into his career.

 

Pendleton was a 28-year old rookie who the Jags took in the 7th round, or signed as a free agent (don't remember which)   he's now 30.

 

Very few injured players get snatched by another team.    The fact that neither were claimed on waivers means nothing......

[ProblChld32]

Nice would like to see both back Pendleton showed good pass rush last season, and i know Adongo is only a project but he's new to the sport he'll need time to develop.

[OffensivelyPC]

Such a shame about Adongo.  Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come for him.  But I am glad he's back with us and hopefully he'll get another shot.

very nicely put

[Buck Showalter]

I'm a fan of the Adongo project...

Hope it works out, even if we have to wait a season...

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Good glad they are back, get well soon!

I will say Pendleton was way better than Fili Moala and Ricardo Matthews. The latter should barely even be 3rd string, much less 2nd string on any NFL team.

 

Whatever production lost though...I'm certain that Zach Kerr and Brandon McKinney will pick up, along with Montori Hughes.
