Amarlo Herrera Added To Colt's Ps.

[RealityIsLuck]

The @Colts signed sixth-round pick ILB-Amarlo Herrera to their practice squad. To make room for Herrera, the Colts waived OG-David Arkin

Dropped Arkin. Great to see us retain Herrera. Lots of talent on our PS with Carter, Herrera, Adongo, McDonald etc...

[Defjamz26]

Great news. He was pretty good in the pre-season. Would have made the 53 if not for the Sio Trade. But I think he can make it next season.

[jvan1973]

Thank god that travesty has been righted

[bananabucket]

Good to hear.  I'm never for cutting a draft pick before the season even starts, so at least he's on the PS.

[ColtsLegacy]

Hallel-rrera!

[CanuckColt]

So they drop an O-lineman instead of the "Dongo Experiment"....go figure.

 

I guess Grigson has become ego-attached to the Rugby player...maybe he has a side bet with some other GM.

 

.....wrong drop.

Some people.

I liked Arkin... Oh well.

[PrincetonTiger]

very glad to hear

[Colt^2]

Awesome news.  Kid has shown potential.  Glad he's with us.

Maybe...........    just maybe.......   the GM who sees these guys ever day and knows far more about them than you do,  has made a better call than you would.

 

Maybe?       Nahhhhhhhhh.......   what am I thinking?     The genius from Canada knows more than us all....

[Douzer]

Glad he's back. He looked like a keeper...

[buccolts]

Expand the schedule to 18 games, increase the rosters to 103 players.

Nobody gets cut, and all the fans are giddy.

Heck Roy Hall may still be with us.

Meh...whatever. 

I still prefer keep the O-lineman and drop a linebacker....preferably Dongo.

[jvan1973]

Rest easy, there is no player on the practice squad named Dongo

[NorthernBlue]

Meh...whatever.

Honest question, why do you keep calling him Dongo? Is it really that hard to say "Adongo?"

[VaAllDay757]

Good.....good

[ColtsLegacy]

Honest question, why do you keep calling him Dongo? Is it really that hard to say "Adongo?"

Because he hates Adongo. He decided he hated Adongo the minute he was signed and all he's done since then is + and moan about it. He calls Adongo "Dongo" because that's just another way for him to disparage Adongo.

It's all very childish.

[RomanianColtsFan]

The moment they dare to cut Daniel I boycott the team

[SDakColts]

I really like Herrera and I am glad we kept him. However, I really liked Arkin as well so it sucks to see him go, but I am also glad we kept Patterson on the PS as he showed some really good things. I really like our practice squad overall.

Sorry....    I'm a little slow....   remember, I'm 58....   I have no idea what message you're attempting to send.

 

I might agree with it......    or, I might not.     But,  I don't know....

 

Sorry.....

Hahah, it's all good. It's from a show called Soutpark and................... Well, they're Canadian !!!

Hah, indeed you do!

[akcolt]

I liked him too thought he might have a shot at the 53 man. He can play C as well. He seemed to have a mean streak in him.

[UKColt13]

Excellent news. I was hoping he'd make the 53 but once we traded for Sio the writing was on the wall. But when Dqwells production drops I can see Herrera stepping into that run plugger role.

^ Yup

Arkin was technically sound and strong.  As a center he was slow to get his hands up after the snap which caused some problems because the DT was into his chest before he could really get his arms up.  As a guard he didn't have that problem although he was still a bit slow for an NFL olineman. 

 

While watching him, I thought that a year or two in an NFL conditioning/agility program he could be a reliable back-up much like Reitz has been.

 

For me, I don't know why McNary is on the PS.  Before his legal troubles, we saw what the guy can do and he had not improved from his 1st year to the 2nd year.  He has next to no field awareness, no strength at the POA, no suddenness in his movements, he is just not a good football player.

With Arkins travels since coming into the league, it appears every coaching staff he has come across don't think much of his skills either. So I guess what I'm saying is the coaches must see more upside on the guys currently on practice team. And let's be honest, our practice team depth isn't going to make or break the team. There are vets on the street that will probably be picked up if needed before most on the PS

Agreed the PS is not going to have an outcome on the season.  You has just asked for an opinion of Arkin and I gave it (even if it wasn't asked of me).

 

I disagree about what it means that other teams have signed him.  To me that shows that multiple teams think he could sub in a pinch but when it's all said and done he is just another guy as the saying goes.
