Perhaps Killings can help our struggling secondary?

Some information below if you care to read...

Never heard of Killings but our whole secondary with the exception of Moore last game is struggling.

Colts promote D.J. Killings, place Carroll Phillips on IR

 

In 2017, Killings spent the final 13 weeks of the regular season and the entire postseason on the Eagles’ practice squad. He participated in the Patriots’ 2017 offseason program and training camp before they waived him.

Killings originally signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent on May 5, 2017.

The Colts also announced they signed defensive end Anthony Winbush to the practice squad. They released tackle De’Ondre Wesley from the practice squad.

Some info on Anthony Winbush:

...The Atlanta Falcons may have gotten themselves a big-time steal with the signing of defensive end Anthony Winbush out of Ball State…

 

Winbush plays every snap at 100 miles per hour it feels like, and he can provide the Falcons with some nice pass rush depth if he can come in and win a roster spot.

Undersized at 6-foot-1, 249 pounds, Winbush is not long enough to play base end in the NFL in a 4-3 alignment, and he’s also not quick enough to play in space as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 alignment.

 

Winbush racked up 32.5 tackles for loss and 25 sacks over the past three seasons, along with eight forced fumbles.

Five of those forced fumbles came in 2017.

Even with his lack of length, Winbush was able to win a ton as a pass rusher in college by pure effort and excellent upper body strength.

 

Give this guy a shot to get to the quarterback, and he is going to get the job done.

What I see for Winbush at the next level is the possibility of a player who can provide a rush on third down while developing an expanded arsenal of moves to try and get him on the field for more than just 15-20 percent of snaps.

 

He went to the right situation with a creative defensive staff that will be able to find ways to get him on the field more often when he proves himself capable as a rotational rusher.

Is the Colt's Kenny Moore the same one mentioned in those articles?  Just curious.

Yes. Kenny Moore started out with NE Patriots.

Sweet.  If Killings can play like Moore did last game, and is consistent, then we may have a winner!

Killings and Winbush sound like good signings. Also glad to see Ishmael back on the practice squad after being released. Didn't want to give up on him yet. Good depth stuff here, which can be important.

Anybody is better than Maulet.

[RollerColt]

Good to see a fellow Cardinal alum on the team, hopefully he takes full advantage of the opportunity.

At least he got an INT every once in a while.

Thought for sure they were going to bring back Lenzy Pipkins.

He's French.

They've historically had trouble with defense.

GREAT toast and fries tho.

[Myles]

Those are pretty good stats.   I welcome him with open arms.

Remember that turd Grigson got from Cardinals.....Greg Toler? 

 

Oooweee as bad as he got torched on a consistent basis, he was still better than Maulet!

Yeah, hopefully, he'll be killing some passes.
