Colts should sign David Amerson

[Coffeedrinker]

I'm not one to usually say the Colts should sign FAs, especially when they are cut mid season because they are usually cut for a reason.  But the Colts need some bodies at CB.

 

And while I was surprised that Price and Brown and Patterson played as well as they did, the need someone else and Amerson is a former 2nd round pick that has all the measurables you want in a CB, could be had cheap and if Pagano is able to work with him and work on his consistency it could be a good pick.

 

If Davis, Toler, Butler and Smith were not all injured then I would not want the Colts to even look at Amerson.

how about asunte samuels lol

You think Brown played well? He allowed 8 catches for 100+ yards and a TD.

Cassius Vaughn?

I was surprised how well they did as well, all things considering

I was expecting it to be twice that.....

Amerson was a pretty big reason why the Redskins have been one of the worst pass defenses over the last few seasons.

Considering the situation... yes.  First game action going against a veteran QB and two very good veteran WRs... yeah.  If he starts the rest of the season and is still playing like that at the end then that won't be so good.

Like, i said there is a reason he was cut, but he's better than nobody (no offense to the Nobody on this forum).

I'm sure he's better than Nobody. I'm just having a difficult time thinking he may be better than Everyone.

I think David Amerson is bad, so no thanks. 

 

If Davis is going to be out, and if Toler won't be ready any time soon, and if Butler isn't ready, then yeah, get some help. But if two of those three guys are back next week, I'm fine with the DBs.

I'd rather see if Carlos Rogers is healthy and sign him up for valuable depth. He was good enough as a 49er when surrounded by good #1 CBs. He has been in the league for about 9 years, so he won't be difficult to coach.

How about they bring Qua Cox back

I have not heard anything about Davis but yes, that is my fear that Davis will miss a couple/three weeks Toler you never know, Butler could miss some more time and Smith didn't even make it out of training camp.

 

Like I stated... he's a body and the Colts need a body and he's got the physical tools.

Rogers would be a good one.

Amerson is not a good corner. He has good size and ball hawking ability though. I think his best bet is to catch on to a team and try to convert to FS. I just don't know many teams that would be willing to spend that much time on him trying to develop him for the position switch.

[NewColtsFan]

Amerson has been signed by Oakland.

 

And I'm fine with the Colts not signing him.    He didn't cut it with Washington,  and he's a zone corner. 

 

As for Brown.....   I thought he and Price and Patterson did OK considering we couldn't get any real pressure on Fitzpatrick last night.     And especially since he was our #1 CB for half the game last night when Vonte went out with his concussion.
