No we don't.  If anything we have too many people competing for spots.

 

Antonio Morrison, Josh Mcnary, Edwin Jackson, Junior Sylvestre.  Plus in all likelihood you can include Nate Irving in that mix even though he'll be kind of back and forth.

I tried finding tape on him but didn't find anything, his measurables were very nice though

There's no highlight film.  Just full college games that you have to watch to form an opinion.

Plus what I remembered when he was with the Colts last preseason.

It is a bit surprising. We used a draft pick on him a year ago and we're not even attempting to stash him on the PS. .

 

Doesnt he have to clear waivers before they can try to sign him to the PS?

Yes. 

 

But you can't add him to the PS until the final 53 is set. If we planned to do that with him we went about it the entirely wrong way because he's much more likely to land with someone else right now during the expanded roster period simply because everyone has room.

Don't think we have any plans of adding Herrera to the PS. When all the cuts are made we will probably see somebody like Edwin Jackson or Junior Sylvestre added to the PS from the current group we have.  I'm assuming we keep 5-6 linebackers on the active roster.  I think last year we had DQ, Jerrell Freeman, Josh Mcnary, Sio Moore, and Nate Irving.  This year I'm thinking it will come down to DQ, Sio Moore, Nate Irving, Antonio Morrison,Junior Sylvester.  Edwin Jackson looks like a baller so that competition between him and Junior Sylvester is one to watch during the preseason.  Edwin Jackson may edge Junior out if Junior doesn't come with his A game.

Not a surprise to me.  Almost everyone on the forum saw that one coming.  I wonder if we'll be bringing in a young Defensive Lineman?

 

Say what? 

I must be in the minority, because this is relatively shocking to me. 

 

I also personally don't see how McNary is any better than Herrera.

Herrera to the PS. Needs to clear waivers first.

 

You don't formulate the practice squad until you make final cuts which we are no where near doing.

 

Considering the timing of the cuts, he's likely gone for good.  

 

I am surprised by Herrera being cut this early.  I wouldn't have been surprised if it was at final cuts.  But cutting him this early pretty much indicates that he's not in our plans for the future. . .

I don't think Mcnary will make it either

I get the feeling they just like him more....but I don't think either of them have any business on the roster...PS maybe....

In most cases that is the culprit. 

 

Which leaves a little egg on our faces for drafting him if he can't even be a warm camp body during his second camp.

Well, we do have a new DC which know a thing or two about LBs, so maybe Herrera just doesn't fit the kind of players he want. But a bit weird to cut him already now, I'll grant that.

We pretty much got two 6th round picks out of that draft if you include us picking up Tevin Mitchel after he was drafted by the Redskins..  Herrera is gone but we still have the other one in Tevin Mitchel.

He was a 6th rounder.  No egg on face.

Why is mcnary still on the team???? Smh he's not good at all herrera was much better and he could've gotten better with time

He was slow wasn't going to do anything outside the box. I think the new DC is going to value speed and the ability to play sideline to sideline. You can't teach speed.

 

McNary is more versitale and helps on special teams. He's more valuable than Hererra. Although I'd be surprided if he doesn't get cut this year unless we have injuries.

      Rewatched 2023 Season

      By shasta519 · Posted

      Especially in the NFL where players age out fast. You have to move on from some...or the very least...add to them.   Keeping the same core in tact for several years is something a SB contender might entertain. But that's because they typically have a proven franchise QB and have established a very high floor. The Colts have neither right now. And even then, we see what happens to these teams. The Manning teams went from a SB to a 2-win team in two years. Not saying the Colts will suffer that fate again, but there is considerable downside.   When you haven't established that floor, it seems like doing the same thing and expecting different results. And it does result in overvaluing the impact of your own draft picks. This has even trickled down into the fanbase as well. We see it every offseason with how these guys are hyped before taking a snap. I don't remember ever hearing this much about Colts rookies until Ballard got here. The content is great, but it's just so much unchecked hype.

      Rumor: Simmons signing with Philly

      By Yoshinator · Posted

      If no players but Davis and Flacco had interest in signing with Indy during the whole FA period this year, then we have more problems than we realize. That's the thing, I liked the draft more than most on here. However, it's contingent on signing a DB in FA to override the fact that we didn't draft a starting DB to help the secondary.    No one with a straight face can say the secondary is fixed with our young players returning from injuries. Not even Ballard knows that 100%, and people on the forum certainly don't know that. I'm going to go the route that our secondary is a weakness with the backing of facts that QBs destroy us in the pass game, no matter how good or bad they are.    When you have cap space open like we do after restructuring Buckner's contract, you can go after a veteran DB. Maybe we do, maybe we don't. However, if we don't, we are playing with fire. We are putting our hopes that our secondary is better after 1 year of development, and a 5th and 6th round rookie may make the team and make a difference. Most of the time, that isn't happening.

      NFL.com ranked him #24 out of 66 QBs: https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-qb-index-ranking-all-66-starting-quarterbacks-from-the-2023-nfl-season   Saying he ranked #32 out of 32 starting QBs implies that he was the worst starting QB last year. And that was why you referenced it...to scapegoat him.   Never mind that the defense were 28th in ppg allowed against one of the easiest schedules on defense. And the offense (led by Minshew) was 11th in ppg against a much tougher schedule.   That #32 ranking is either someone's uninformed opinion or just made-up...because no metrics support this. That was not the level of QB play they got last year. If you think he's a bottom third tier QB, I can understand that. I am not saying he's this great QB or that I wish he was still here. I am saying he wasn't the problem last year.
