What are the chances that the Colts are waiting for a punter from another team to be released and sign him?

 

I mean if a team has 2 good punters in camp.  You know they are only going to keep one.  So we could easily sign who ever they cut.  

 

That same thought entered my mind too.

I support this move also. Sanchez actually looks like a football player and Locke looks like an accountant wearing a football uniform. Not to mention Rigoberto is an awesome name. I wish that were my name.

 

Also, Sanchez is pretty good at kicking too.

I'm surprised Locke was let go.

 

Not that Sanchez didn't do better in games,  he did.

 

But Sanchez is a rookie and Locke is not.    And typically veterans get every benefit of the doubt.

 

Because regular season games are completely different than pre-season games and rookie are much more likely to screw-up in a regular season game than a veteren might. 

 

I hope this decision doesn't come back to bite the Colts in the rear-end.....

Guess he wasn't a Locke to make the roster after all. 

 

Ba dum tsss

From one musician to another, what made me laugh about this was you actually spelled out the drum & cymbal crash instead of just typing the words rim shot.

Don't forget to tip your bartenders and waitresses ! 

Bah! Ha! Ha! When comedian Craig Ferguson used to host the Late Late Show on CBS, he always used to say something controversial on air & then reply "I look forward to your letters." A polite PC way of saying kiss my backside you uptight, American wankers. Craig was born & raised in Scotland as a kid. 

 

I just liked that he didn't really care who he ticked off with their repressed, moral sensibilities. It's why I enjoy your posts too actually.

Well I put him on my 5 in that thread...

 

SWISH!

I had Locke and Hennessy. Could Tolzien be next? He's been out played 2 years in a row. This was easy to call Sanchez clearly had the stronger leg. I like that he has experience kicking FG's too. He was 100% last year and 49/50 on pat's. He hit 88% of his FG's for his career. 

 

It was cool to let Locke get out ahead of all the cuts coming. I'm assuming we tried to trade him I'd hoped we'd get something for Parry. I think he's gone come Saturday.

Oh...we will be punting a lot I for see so it won't take long to find out. I think all things being equal punting wise...it was Sanchez much much bigger leg for kickoffs was the deciding factor. With Adam not doing kickoff duties it was important to have someone fill that role. That shank week 1 of the preseason I thought there was no way he made the team...but he has gotten better and better and I think we will see the same as the season wears on.

I think people underestimate how much Pat will be missed.   Kickoffs and punts, I bet the Colts average giving up an additional 4-5 yards this season vs last.  

Oh I don't think the ones who think the SP teams play is a big part of the team. Yes Pat is going to be missed. He retired. You can bet Ballard on down the line know what will be not here anymore.

In reality what can anyone do about it? By doing exactly what Ballard is doing. Not really much more than that can be said. We all know what Pat brought to this team. Not only was he a great punter and kick off dude, he was a football player.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.

      Potential/Average/Concern

      By RollerColt · Posted

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
