Meh...  I’ve never been highly impressed with Hunt.  He’s made a play or two here or there but nothing too memorable.  

[CR91]

Im surprised their cutting Mccain and Roaches and keeping Hunt. Not to mention Clark hasnt been cut yet. Youre telling me having one good game against scrubs is gonna keep him around?

Nunez-Roches flashed a little.  It was against 3rd & 4th stringers though...  Does this mean we’re keeping Hunt?

 

Hmm, Roches was listed (and played) as DT, while they used Hunt as DE recently. So, probably not. We'll see soon.

Hunt has also played inside

 

 

      Another marker is that Hunt did not play much on Thursday

[Fisticuffs111]

 Ballard seems to like Hunt more than most fans, same with Vuj.

Brent would have made roster, but got hurt

Did he? 

 

I can't recall seeing him inside, but that means nothing. (I don't see any upside in him at DE, so it's actually a good news for me )

[Stephen]

Ryan grant should be waived. He has done nothing

Agreed

[Peterk2011]

Hmm, Denver just waived Jeff Holland. I happen to follow the Broncos (Manning effect). The guy had a terrific training camp, I saw a ton of upside there. And he is just 20, very-very young.

 

He is 6.2, 250, so a bit undersized as 4-3 DE, but so is Turay, and so was Mathis...

I think he finally got an officially unofficial catch...

That is only thing I can think of. If it is the neck again

[Pacergeek]

Simon must be injured. Only plausible explanation

I posted about Holland the other night. Very productive at Auburn. Believe led the sec in sacks. Den was very deep at the position. 

[Fisticuffs111]

They were playing Simon well into the 4th quarter of the Ravens game. Wouldn’t be surprised if Ballard was planning on this and even trying to trade him. Edit: apparently we were trying to trade him, according to Rapoport.

Sarcasim alert

 

And I haven't even posted in either of the 53 cut threads... until now! 

 

I agree, lets keep the other thread clean for Information, and discussion should be placed here.

[Smoke317]

A lot of his sacks & pressures came off of stunts and twists.  No much beating the tackles off the edge...  But honestly, that’s still more than anyone not named Ridgeway or Delaire did as far as creating pressure.  We’ve gotta be going after a Shane Ray or something or Simon has to be injured.

Agreed there must be a replacement more suitable to the 4-3 we don’t know about or the neck injury is worse than everyone thought

Yeah. This is definitely a head scratcher.

Simon was not a superstar.

 

But one could argue he was a hard worker, great locker room presence, and produced the most of any of the edge rushers this pre-season.

 

Despite doing everything Ballard preaches - he gets the boot.  I don't see how this makes the team better at the moment.

[ColtsBlueFL]

Some of these guys make another team, otters will get on a practice squad.  The rest will apply to the AAF for the upcoming season.

[BeanDiasucci]

I don't think Ballard wanted Simon showing up his draft picks at DE, Basham, Turay and Lewis all season. Kidding...just kidding. : )

Sorry, can’t argue with any of those things. That’s exactly what he was...

Basham now makes the team by default.

[w87r]

I know the Simon release comes as a shock, but this allows us to get our young guus onnthe field and see what we got. 

 

Anxious to see Turay and Bashem in there.

 

Probably going to claim Kony Ealy.

 

It is looking like Hunt is going to make the team.

[Douzer]

Marcus Washington 6'1, 205, 4.39

UDFA by Eagles.

Seahawks got him as an add-on in the Michael Bennett trade package.

If basham would learn to bend like turay he would be a monster

You don't have to back off so fast out of fear.  That kind of thing has been said here before.  That GMs make personnel moves to save face.

[trisca01]

John Simon being cut does not make any sense unless he is injured.

 

I am generally a fan of what is going on in Indy with Ballard and Reich but I do not like this move at all. Scheme fit, blah blah blah. The guy just made plays, I dont care what his "natural position" is. The Colts out-thunk themselves on this one. The Colts do not have the talent, especially on D, to let guys like Simon walk.
