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? 

[GoColts8818]

Well that's that for the pre-season.  I'd say it's been fun but well it hasn't.  On to games that count!

[Gavin]

That was a good Int by Milton but I think the pressure from the right side by Bates that caused the QB to hurry that throw just a bit and caused a bad throw. Still nice to see Milton make a play

So are we back to being postseason contenders since we won tonight?

[oldunclemark]

I'll always carry the memory of this game.... (at least until tomorrow morning_)

If we can play the Bengals backups every week I like our chances...

[JlynRN]

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.

[2006Coltsbestever]

That was fun to watch. I thought our Defense played physical all night. AJ McCarron didn't do anything against us and he played good last season for Cincy. Morris has nice poise in the pocket.

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?

[HOZER]

tough decision, I mean, Morris did score the only touchdown, no? Tolzien did look good as well, nothing he can do about fumbles.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Now we have to deal with Jim Bob Cooter and the mighty Lions on opening day!

Where do I sign up?

[Gavin]

I'd consider starting Morrison next to Jackson because Morrison brings his physically tough hard hitting style to the game. He will have his struggles in coverage but all of our ILB's will

I had no idea.....I thought it was something like $30-40,000

I had no idea it paid that much either. 

[PrincetonTiger]

Great play to end the game

 

makes the final spot at WR tougher to call

[HOZER]

Better switch over to my Cubbies.....down 1,bases loaded, 2 outs, bottom 7, Russell up to bat....I smell a rally!!!!!

Minimum of $6,300,00 per week on the PS.

Even Allen Iverson would 'practice' for that....

Piece of cake. Up 5-4 heading to the Bottom of the 8th.

That would be a great living if you could make the practice squad for teams off and on for 10 years or so.

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.

Great preseason finale game and  by our Indianapolis Colts!    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!!!!!
