Hankins Released

[Case]

 

 

 

what?!?! 

[PrincetonTiger]

Wow

[BCoop]

Wth kind of roller coaster am I on?

[CamMo]

I thought he was actually one of the bright spots on our D.

 

CB, why put me on this emotional rollercoaster?!

[TKnight24]

 

[Cynjin]

That's interesting. 

[Solon]

He played very well for us last year. I'm inclined to believe he wanted to leave.

[Four2itus]

[mahagga73]

Why? He played too good. 

[PrincetonTiger]

Seems to be system related

[2006Coltsbestever]

It's Suh time!

[HectorRoberts]

What the hell is going on?

[NewColtsFan]

Disappointing...

 

The roller coaster continues... 

 

And yes...   I think Hankins asked for it because he preferred a 3-4 to a 4-3.

wth OVER?!?!?!? 

 

Ok I've been a huge Ballard defender but I'm utterly wanting to kick his butt for this!!! Wth man!

[aReggie7]

Surprised by this.

 

Some think it is because of the switch to 4-3 but I don't believe it. Hankins can play in the 4-3. Plus, Ballard is the one who signed him last year. I believe, even though there is no way to prove it, that Ballard has wanted to switch to the 4-3 from the start. I think there is something else to this besides a scheme change. 

[BlueShoe]

Interesting. 

 

I have been hitting on a lot of things this week, but I did not see this one coming.

[krunk]

A real head scratcher. Need an explanation fast!

[pgt_rob]

Holy smokes. He played so well for us last season. He doesn’t fit our now 4-3 scheme?

[ztboiler]

Might mean Hankins didn’t want to play the nose in the 4-3

Could be. Hope so!

[P'Son]

It's called a COMPLETE rebuild.  Don't be surprised when Luck is vacated.

[csmopar]

I'm utterly shocked

You could be right. Unless there was some type of internal fight going on, then it's what makes the most sense. Maybe after we all get over the initial shock of the news then we will think about this clearer. It is very surprising though. 

 

SUH???

 

I kind of kid, but....... LOL

I know it’s St Patrick’s day but *, that much alcohol is lethal.

I am just trying to figure out an explanation but I hope so too. I am 99% for getting younger - which will do through the Draft but Suh is healthy and still Top 5 at his position. He's better than Hankins too, so why not I say.

[Flash7]

We couldn’t have traded him? 

[Stephen]

Wonder if henry anderson gets cut next

[MFT5]

hankins is slow, not special, not needed 

[bananabucket]

WHY?  

 

This makes absolutely no sense.  Releasing one of our better players to create another gigantic hole.

I don't think Chris Ballard will even consider trading Andrew. Jim Irsay would fire him before he could send the paperwork in. 

[backshoulderfade]

Confused. Was one of my favorite Colts.

[Happy2BeHere]

I’m floored we didn’t at least trade him to someone for something 

[VaAllDay757]

Either poe or suh is coming

He’s actually very good and graded out really well. Among the best at his position. That’s why I’m surprised he wasn’t traded.

I agree. Why is everyone saying how well he played. He’s not disruptive and doesn’t create pressure. Seems avg at best 

[lance_m8]

Either this means we are bringing in Sun or Ballard is on something what is next Sheard traded back to the pats for a 5th rounder

Suh??? I’m starting to feel like we don’t care about 2018

Yeah, I think you are right. Al Woods at NT and Suh at UT makes a whole lot more sense now, as much as I do not care for Suh.

during the colts town meeting when hankins was asked about the new system you could tell he wasn't to excited about it.
