I like this Morris kid.

I like him too but the Colts have pretty much said that Tolzien is their back up and the fact that he didn't play much tonight tells me they weren't having them compete for the job.  Also, as I have said before who you play against in the pre-season maters and holding your own against other teams backups will impress the coaches more than owning guys who will be out of football tomorrow.  Also, it would take more than Morris playing great to win that job, Tolzien would have had to lost it and Tolzien didn't do anything to hurt himself tonight. 

 

The question is will the Colts keep two or three QBs?  Morris has made a major case that they should keep three but will all the injuries allow it?

I like both of our back up QBs.  Morris seems so cool under pressure, but they both have their strong points.  Do we keep both? I kind of hope we do.

Does it make sense to put a QB on the practice squad? 

 

Did you hear the announcers say that being on the practice squad 16 weeks...pays $107,000?

Yeah this has been a fun night. Edwards looked sharp in the 9th. Cubs are going to win it all! I have been a Cubs fan for a long time. Harry would be proud of this team.

Would LOVE to see them do it this year!!!! Harry, Banks, and Santos are smiling down on this team right now!

Great preseason finale game and  by our Indianapolis Colts!  :thmup:  Our Colts was able to achieve finishing and concluding their 2016 NFL Preseason Schedule at 2 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie (if you want to include the cancelled Pro Football Hall Of Fame Game with the Packers).  Stephen Morris' 25-yard touchdown pass to Tevan Smith with over a minuite left in the fourth quarter, made the Colts come behind to defeat the host Cincinnati Bengals 13-10 at Paul Brown Stadium. Morris and Scott Tolzien combined for 31 of 42 passes completed, for 305 passing yards, over the 1-3 Bengals.

 

Now comes the real schedule beginning in 10 days, as the Colts host the visiting Detroit Lions in both teams opening week matchup on September 11, the 15th year anniversary that forever changed America.

 

Hope the braintrust  of Chuck Pagano and the Colts coaching staff, General Manager Ryan Grigson, and the Colts scouting and support staff, in earnest, evaluate and decide with much difficulty, the 22 players, the coaching  and player personnel  staff make the cut down to the 53-man regular season roster that will represent the 2016 Indianapolis Colts.

 

Colts may likely sign between the 7 to 10 players that will make up the team's practice squad.

 

We wish the Colts in selected the best and talent players that will start to endure the 16-game regular season beginning September 11, and try to improve from their 8-8 record in 2015, and recapture the AFC South Division Title in 2016!   

 

See you here when the Colts host the Detroit Lions in their season opener at LOS, and GO COLTS!!!!!  :coltslogo:   :)   :1colts:  :colts:  :coltshelmet:   :coltshorse:   :coltslogo:

    • One of the great things the NFL does is getting people to believe they aren’t rich.   The league made 17 billion dollars in 2021 in revenue.  The average NFL team is worth 5.1 billion dollars.  These guys aren’t broke or strapped for cash.  They can afford these things.     For what it’s worth Holder is reporting that the Colts made the decision not to go after Sneed and then gave that money to all the guys they re-signed last week and had they gone after Sneed it would have been as the expense of some of those guys, specifically Kenny Moore and perhaps Grover Stewartt which tracks with Kenny at least being the last of the group to re-sign.  Physical money wasn’t the issue.  The Colts simply made a choice.  
    • Who has the best RAS score?
    • Frankly the whole Grigson era turned me off of making all the bold moves people want.  He would and they almost always blew up in the Colts faces.  He was saved by the fact he had Andrew Luck and he was just too good to be bad.  Ironically I think if Ballard had had Andrew Luck for his whole time as GM we would be looking at another golden era of Colts football and it would be have been interesting to note both came with the philosophy of build through the draft and reward your own.  Oh well if ifs and buts were candy and nuts we’d all have a Merry Christmas.
    • In 2015 the Colts were considered winners of free agency. Granted there were a few good signings, but we haven't been the same since. Ever since then, I've been completely fine with not signing free agents. 😅
    • Feels like a good time to issue a reminder.  Two years ago, J’Ville spent a fortune in FA.   That was the year they surprised the NFL giving the little WR, Kirk 4/72 which had incentives into the $80’s.   And J’Ville went on to have a good season.    Many here showered the Jaguars with applause and wondered why can’t the Colts do that?!   But here’s what they forget….   In the 10 years BEFORE that one, no team spent more in FA than the Jaguars.   $1.4 BILLION dollars.  That’s billion with a B.  And I think they had one post season appearance to show for it.  So most years Jacksonville “won” free agency and they had almost nothing to show for it.    So when @GoColts8818 says the “winner” of FA typically doesn’t have a very good season, he is correct.  It was his comment that triggered my memory about Jacksonville’s lost decade.  Thanks, GC!
