Hi, Colts fans.   Hopefully a winless preseason doesn't reflect a poor regular season by record.  Colts will release and cut players to meet the final 53 man as early as Thursday Night, to meet the NFL mandatory 4:00 PM Saturday Afternoon deadline on August 31.

Ummmmm

 

the final score was Colts 13 Bengals 6.... wouldn’t that mean the Colts won and thus are not winless in the preseason(not that it matters) Or am I seeing things?

Can’t help but think that Walker might make the roster the first two weeks.  He doesn’t deserve it, and it would be disastrous if he played.  But would Wheeden or Osweiler be better a week into the system?  At least Walker could run the same system...

I have a feeling based on Phillips performance and team reset that Sheard will be cut.

 

Doubtful IMO. Sheard sets the edge better than anyone on the roster. He’s been consistent and has a reasonable contract.

 

However, I’m a fan of Phillips too. :thmup:

I guess beating the Bengals in a pre-season game is the same as losing?

Should be on a CFL roster sooner rather than later. Don’t know how he’s stuck around so long.

 

 It’s better to have a guy from your PS running your scout team in practice than your second string QB.  Especially when he has to imitate mobile QBs.

That guy is a bum some guys can learn the offense on a fly so i'm sorry but if i'm in Ballard's shoe's i'm not keeping walker he is terrible 82 yards in a half is awful.

He could run the same system as long as he doesn’t have any routes in the middle of the field. See if Peyton would come back for 2 games lol

Can’t see Sheard cut but it’s possible he gets IR and comes back second half fully healed for the run. But you’re right, he set the edge well with just enough penetration skill to be very effective at his job. 

 

I have enjoyed Phillips as well but does he have enough to get around starting string OT’s? He looks so little on tv. He had a little Mathis type pass rush moves though didn’t he? That rush and knife straight back into the QB for strip sack. Loved it. Rooting for him to make it, just don’t see who they cut to fit him on the team.

I hope Skai Moore makes the team.  

I like this guy as well but like Phillips, who can you cut to make the room? I see PS or he may make someone’s 53. I’m rooting for him too, he has talent to be in this league and maybe if things fall just right for him, he could blossom into a starter somewhere with more playing time.

actually... no. the 2006 COLTS won the superbowl in 2007.. in Miami

 

The 2 years we went to the SB, we were 1-3 in pre-season and the SB was in Miami both those years, and this time the SB is in Miami too.

 

Having said that, here are a few preseason stats to chew on, no team in the last 10 years has won the SB while having a losing record in pre-season, scroll below to read the preseason stat regarding the Jaguars, comical : :) 

 

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/this-one-preseason-stat-might-have-just-eliminated-11-teams-from-winning-the-super-bowl/

 

So, what this means is that we make it to the SB and lose for all these stats to mean something??? :dunno:

So who gets cut first?

Also, I don't think we'll see the cuts come out until closer to 4pm tomorrow

Technically Mathias Farley and Nate Hairston

    It will be hard to tell since more than likely it will be released en masse

 

 

     3 Jag cuts have already been leaked

    • This happens every single year and every single year people worry about the occasional unsigned rookie when we haven't even gotten into June yet.   Guys/gals... it's really a big nothing burger. Ever since the NFL introduced rookie scale contracts this has been a non-issue. Everything important in those contracts has been made non-negotiable. The negotiable things are largely minutiae - it's about schedule of payment...it's about off-set language, or language about voiding salary payments(for example - can the team void payments for suspensions and stuff like that), etc.   There are two cases I remember in the last 10 years where this has become a problem and the player has actually missed training camp practices because of it - Joey Bosa(because of schedule of payments dispute) and Roquan Smith(because of dispute about the language about voiding payments for suspensions because of play). And as you see... Both of those were top 10 picks. (i.e. more money on the line)...   Holdouts/holdins of day 2 and day 3 picks are pretty much unheard of. I personally couldn't find a single case when I looked for it.    AD seems to be taking part in both rookie mini camp and in OTAs and hasn't missed any practice, we haven't heard about any sort of dispute so far, so my assumption would be there is nothing to see here and it's all formality.    So yeah... Unless we hear there is a problem I would just assume everything is good.    
    • I was referring to the images on the colts website 
    • Said to be 6’1” and 235.    Good size but not exactly huge.   
    • We did beat the Knicks 4 out of 5. So we have shown signs of playing consistent but Boston is better than the Knicks. Game 2 can't get here quick enough. We have a young team and as a group have never been this far. Silly mistakes are going to happen. This is Tatum and Brown's 6th time together in the Final 4. That experience helps + having a guy like Horford who is 100 years old, has seen it all really helps them.
