[NewColtsFan]

Damn!

 

Damn!      Damn!!       Damn!!!        DAMN!!!!!

 

[Jaredfor3]

Doesn’t surprise me one bit that somebody picked him up via waivers.  Basham is young and still has some upside. 

[PeterBowman]

wonder if it's because the Colts play them in 10 days.

[richard pallo]

Being claimed was guaranteed to happen.  No young ER was ever going to get through waivers.  

[IndySouthsider]

Rule states he has to be on active roster correct?

 

how long?

[RollerColt]

Oh.

[1959Colts]

time to move on

In before the obligatory Jerry Hughes comment.

Head scratcher of a move from the Jets since he is a DE

They did draft a TE in 95 when Warren Sapp was available

He does go to the active roster, but there's no amount of time he has to stay on the active roster. They can waive him anytime. 

 

If a team signs a player from another team's practice squad, he has to stay on the active roster for 3 weeks.

Do you think 53 is too low a limit for a roster? Would you add the PS spaces to it?

[Devildog]

We all knew this was coming....

[IinD]

Don't think this will come back to haunt us. Him having a child can't be the reason he wasn't around. He wasn't any good (for us I'm speaking).

[Scott Pennock]

Good for him, maybe a change of scenery is what he needs....

 

On a side note, Turay is probably beside himself with joy since he'd now be able to wear his idols number - 58 (Von Miller)! Countdown until it happens in 3...2...1...

Probably but jets suck anyway.

[chad72]

Well, does this mean the draft last year was more tailored to Pagano's 3-4, and while we all thought Basham fit the 4-3 better, in reality, 3-4 teams were just as interested?? At least these actions by the Jets make it seem so. 

 

Henry Anderson, however, has been doing real well there (this was before game 4):

 

https://www.nj.com/eagles/index.ssf/2018/09/do_eagles_have_nfls_best_defensive_line_pro_football_focus_t.html

 

 He ranks tied for 10th among qualifiers in pass-rush productivity (8.2), as he's recorded nine total pressures (five hurries, two hits, two sacks) across 67 pass-rush snaps. 

 

Henry Anderson has 2.5 sacks after 4 games. 

[krunk]

Now he's got to go back to the 3-4.

I'd keep the practice squad and active roster separate, but I'd relieve some of the restrictions for teams to keep their own young players. In this situation, it doesn't make sense that the Colts should have to waive one of their young prospects just to field a legitimate game day roster. 

 

But I do think the rosters should be bigger. I'd go 60 active, 50 on game day, with a separate 10 person practice squad. Hopefully after last night, more people understand the reason for the game day restrictions. 

[dodsworth]

I hope he starts against us.

[Gocolts-Rolltide]

And now he's about to be a world beater....  ..but the kemoko dragon is really really good so we'll be ok

[GusFring]

So do we get a draft pick or something? God help Ballard if Basham becomes a beast.

Its been discussed.

with the decrease in real practices , etc, and increase in injuries across the league, i think its good for the league.

increase the roster AND PS, imo.  

Better depth league-wide should equate to a better product on Sundays.

[colt18]

wowow

 

 

really wanted to keep him. really I wanted to keep Basham and Simon, I understood why we let Anderson go.

 

ah well. stuff like this is how we got Margus Hunt so

IMO you don’t even up the 53 just the GameDay Roster

I'd go along with that

[LockeDown]

What a disappointment that he didn’t work out. 

[ukcolt12]

Let's be honest he was a major major disappointment. 

Only snag is we have no depth behind Turay now.

Overall proves you need to find pass rusher no later than round 2. Projects don't appear to work in the game these days

No, Ballard knew he was going to change the defensive scheme and let Pagano go after a year. Knowing that, there’s no way he drafted players for Pagano unless he is a complete *. Either way it was a bad pick and it’s all on Ballard. 

[crazycolt1]

It' simple. He was expendable. It don't matter who's 'guy' he was.

And he’s doing it from a 3-4 Defense....

 

Not a 4-3...

 

[needanoline63]

Ballard * away two 3rd round picks. I still think trading Anderson to the jets for a bag of chips was the worse move he made

Doesn’t matter. Anderson slimmed down to play in the 4-3, I think him and hunt would’ve played well together. Henry Anderson is gonna end up being like a Justin smith type player, maybe not that good but still. Very stupid letting him go
