Love to see Grigs is working the phones. Not sure who the player is but like what I'm hearing about him.

[RealityIsLuck]

He's a 4-3 OLB. If he's coming here to play OLB, bye Werner

4-3 OLB is much closer to a 3-4 ILB then OLB. If he where a rush player he'd be playing end.

Sio is fast and good covering seen a little of him the raiders are *s for not keeping him to go off the edge with mack

I was listening to Venturi talk to Grady and Joe on the way home (streaming audio is awesome), and Joe was killing the Colts backup ILBs, which I thought was silly. However, that's the weakest part of our defense, and I was thinking about how nice it would be to have a young, rangy guy who can cover the middle of the field. A couple hours later, and this happens. I like it.

 

New coach and defense in Oakland, plus Moore's injury, means Del Rio didn't want him. Their loss, I think. Getting this guy for a 6th is fine by me.

Dealing for Moore makes me wonder if #Colts don’t expect ILB Nate Irving (knee rehab) to be game ready for a while.

Looks like he fell out of favor in Oakland. In the hound house..?

I said "If"

 

I don't wanna hear about no * IFs! (Pulp Fiction)

 

I just hope we don't have to keep hearing about how this means Werner is gone. It's completely unrelated to Werner's status. Entirely.

I would like to point out that the latest addition to the Colts linebacking corps real first name is SNORSIO. I will take that over Jaquiski Tartt any day of the week.

Hmmm... Didn't he get a few snaps last night? Has he experienced any setbacks since?

[backshoulderfade]

From a little research into Snorsio, I have deduced that he is a good coverage linebacker. Irving is a stout run stopper. I doubt it has anything to do with Irving.

[Superman]

Lost his job to former SB MVP Malcolm Smith. A USC guy, Del Rio's alma mater.

Looking at that article, he might want to change his twitter handle...@MrOakTown55

Bye Werner.

What a waste of a pick he was.

Really like Moore as a rookie. Didn't pay attention to him last year. LBers especially ILB is the biggest weakness to this team. For a 6th round pick the FO made a really solid move. What a feeling.

He still needs some work in coverage. But he was playing Will in a 4-3 last year, and he'll probably be playing WILB or MILB for us, mostly zone across the middle, where he can use his range to chase crossing receivers and his closing speed to zero in on ball carriers. He's not a perfect player, but most people viewed him as part of the Raiders promising young core. He missed most of the offseason, so there's no telling what his status is. I wouldn't be surprised if he got the 10 snaps last night at the request of the Colts.

This guy^^^

I hope we don't cut him

[MarlySullivan]

Love this move. Kinda has the feel of the vontae davis trade. Hes young and has size, athleticism and attitude. That my friends is what we need great pick up.

[SDakColts]

Raiders fans are livid. They are calling their coaching staff and front office stupid for this decision. A lot of them seem to really like Sio say his motor and instincts are top notch. Just a note I believe Dennis Allen when he was HC in Oakland drafted Sio to pretty much take on a Von Miller type roll. I personally think he is a ILB in our system, but OLB is not out of the question.

[Colts_Fan12]

Cool get him out there with a healthy Irving and ILB don't look as bad

[Superman]

 

This guy^^^

 

LOL

 

He almost cost them that game with that. Him and Khalil Mack...

[Flash7]

Here in the Bay Area, there's been a lot of talk related to Sio Moore and how he hasn't been putting in the effort. Del Rio likes fiery, hard working players and Sio fell out of favor. According to Del Rio, he got to play 9 snaps because that's what he earned. The other players worked harder and earned more playing time.

All of the sports talk radio guys said he was not going to make the 53-man roster. The colts basically got him before he was released.

I have a lot of friends who are Raider fans. They aren't happy. Among the messages I've gotten include 'Del Rio has to go, and McKenzie,' 'we're just giving away talent now?', etc. 

 

LOLOL

[Dark Superman]

Does he play ILB or OLB?

[backshoulderfade]

I'm hearing reports that Raiders new GM, Sonny Weaver Jr traded more to the Colts so he has more picks to trade up to number 1 next season to grab Vontae Mack to pair up with Khalil Mack on the edges.

[backshoulderfade]

Grigs see if you can get Khalil Mack for a 3rd

[TKnight24]

Not sure if #Colts use Moore as ILB or OLB, but 6-1 and 240 suggests ILB. If at OLB, that means Werner or Newsome are out of a job.

Outside of Sylvestre Herrera pretty much played the best among our backup linebackers in the preseason, He played pretty well overall

[Dark Superman]

Who wants to put in the effort as a Raider? That place is a breeding ground for losers.

Meh, I would give up a 6th to make sure I landed him....if he was to be released.

Well they are not wrong , they definitely gave him away to us. Hope it all works out, but as of right now we got a great deal.

[Dark Superman]

What did we give up? A 5th rd. pick for this guy?

[MTC]

Does he play ILB or OLB?

 

ILB in our scheme. 

[SDakColts]

6th

And he'll still get his RB later on in the first round...

[TKnight24]

I’d accept any LB instead of Werner, who belongs in a 4-3 scheme as a DE, not a 3-4 as an OLB. Maybe Moore plays both. #Colts

Where careers go to die. Justin Tuck won two rings then got paid more money to live in sunny California and not deal with the NY media who arguably is the toughest on their teams than any other market.
