Colts Sign Mario Harvey [Merge]

[Coltsfanman1953]

I just read in the local newspaper that the Colts signed Mario Harvey LB from Marshall University.

[GoColts00]

that's awesome! i wanted the Colts to pick him up in the draft. He is super fast for his size, although as a LB he can take some bad angles b/c he's used to getting somewhere on the field before his opponent does. when he doesn't make it to the point of attack he can run down RB's though. he'll start out on ST. look forward to seeing him hit some people.

Cool but come on Grigs, lets sign or atleast have a sit down with some of our own FAs.

They can talk ball for seven hours and then come to a conclusion.

[GrizzColt]

Wow, he doesn't waste time, does he?

I assume this is just a future contract signing (training camp fodder)? I don't believe Grigs can sit down with UFAs until the beginning of the FA period in March (am I mistaken)?

[Coltsfanman1953]

It's way to early to know for sure but I think that he will make the final 53. At least i hope so.

[oldunclemark]

I'm glad to see moves...

He needs to get players he wants and likes..and there's no time to waste there

I wouldn't read too much into this. It's that time of year to sign these types of players. They are bodies for camp and some make it; most don't. Polian would have been signing these players as well at this time of the year.

Thanks for the many years of service Gary.... best wishes.

You may be prophetic there....Hawk...

...we have to cut payroll and we've just signed this giy and the Canadian all-star at a position where we were already strong.?

Maybe Tampa can use a veteran linebnacker

[CanuckColtsFan]

I think Brackett would make a good back up in NO

This dude is fast, idk anything about him but he's like a shorter version of manny lawson for the 49ers

Agreed, but it does look like he's looking at ST players, which is a real weakness for us. I doubt if he or the kid from the CFL end up making the team as starters.

[MTC]

He will be a special teams player at best.

Ok cool. Thanks for the info.

[doogansquest]

And if that's no true? I'm glad you know exactly where he'll play. Saves our scouts and (soon-to-be) coaches a lot of trouble. Oh, and does "at best" mean that Special Teams players can't be as good as the guys on offense and defense? Was it a slight to Harvey? Just curious...

Our ST's can use some fast players that know how to tackle.

[Captain Americolt]

I read somewhere he was actually 5' 10 7/8 in. Basically hes 5' 11 250 pounds. Kinda short but average weight for a lb and has blazing speed for a lb too. 4.46 40

You are correct. Any signings you see now are are future contracts/tryout type of things.

ok debbei downer lol.

[antipatriot]

I wouldnt read a lot into any signings until we get a Coach. The GM and coach will need to be somewhat on the same page with these signings and with the FA decisions.

[WoolMagnet]

_{Viewing those clips, he certainly does seem to have a nose for the ball. His play reminds me somewhat of Angerer. He always seems to be at the ball.}

_{Could he possibly be used at OLB?}

_{I love his nickname.... THUMPER.}

_{Also, the fact that he was drafted/released by the Steelers makes me more interested than if he was on another team.}

_{Pittsburgh is LOADED with LBs. This could be a good pickup, we shall see.}

[BlueShoe]

I agree; however I think the CFL kid could have the skills to transition to strong safety.

[stonehart1234]

This guy is a beast he was not drafted but he is amazing he is a for shore steal in free agency.

There is already a thread about this:

I read somewhere he was actually 5' 10 7/8 in. Basically hes 5' 11 250 pounds. Kinda short but average weight for a lb and has blazing speed for a lb too. 4.46 40

250 lbs and runs a 4.46 40? Wow!

[21isSuperman]

Merged the two Harvery threads together

[stonehart1234]

This guy is a free agency steal.

[MTC]

Why did you post another thread about him?

[BlueShoe]

Why did you post another thread about him?

LOL

I guess he thought his other one got deleted or didn't go through.

Yea thats probably why.

stonehart, your previous thread was merged. Please check to see if another topic relating to the same thing has already been made. It's better to post in an older topic than to create a new one. It just clutters up the board. Thanks
