cjwhiskers Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Sounds like he was let go more so then traded based on the tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 My guess he was released. Not sure we would get anything in a trade. Wonder who takes the roster spot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB-ColtsFan Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 So I guess he's Jihad Wards replacement on the roster, and why Ballard was in roster meetings last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 He is 6’1 310 pounds and was undrafted. Seems we are at least trying to fix the issue. Not sure this is going to be the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterBowman Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Bmore does have a very good track record of Dline drafts etc so we'll see how it goes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 At least they are trying. Not sure they will find someone to make a difference this late. This has to be addressed in the draft. Ballard just totally ignored it this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue4ever Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Way to go CB! If the guy can just stay in his gap assignment, he’s 100% better than what we have now. Thank you for taking action. Hunts 21 snaps can be dropped to 10 or less. Happy we brought Johnson back to at WR. Keep looking, the under-performing players have to step up or be sent packing. Eberflus should be given a performance counseling slip too, pathetic showing the last 6 quarters on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holeymoley99 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I really like Ward, thought he played great last season before being injured and wanted him getting more snaps. Maybe he never fully recovered from it and wasnt healthy. Maybe they are still mad about the medicine ball incident.... https://www.12up.com/posts/6324761-video-colts-dl-jihad-ward-puts-hole-in-wall-with-medicine-ball-by-accident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have used him then vs Nick Chubb Apparently, a late injury kept Brandon Williams out of the game and Earl Thomas got on him after the game probably because it wasn't serious enough but it impacted their run D big time. Let us hope this Ravens' PS signing works out for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPStack Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 The answer to all our prayers. Finally, a difference maker for the Colts front four. Ballard brought this guy in to slow down the KC offense. I like it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffeedrinker Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Here is his old NFL Draft Profile Seems like the type of guy Ballard typically likes... hard worker, team captain, enjoys football, etc. he has enough experience he should be able to see some playing time right away. Just tell him... plug this gap, if no one blocks you then go after the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 So does this help the pass rush.? I didn’t realize Ward was so light. He is 6’5 and only weighs 287 pounds. That is very light for being that tall. This guy is short but that is very heavy for 6.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not sure this will fix it. bla bla bla Not sure we will find someone this late. bla bla bla Ballard and his staff didn't IGNORE ANYTHING about their roster. That is just coocoo. They evaluated what they had, are developing them, and felt reasonably good about their prospects. That there is some disappointment at this point, is just how it goes sometimes. This new guy will be given a shot at taking snaps away from someone. Those someones better get it in gear or they could be gone too. If he can't do it, Ballard will keep looking. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonetimes we post stuff before we have all the info. Looking into it he should really help. When I posted that all I saw was a practice squad player. I didn’t realize until looking further the guy has actually been pretty good. Those kind of players don’t usually end up on a practice squad. Therefore that was my initial reaction.

MPStack Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Is it me or is developing players a new theme on the forum? I got it with the MLB, the players need time in the minors, but I was under the impression in the NFL with a 53 man roster, your expected to perform rather quickly. How long does it take to develop NFL talent out of curiosity?? I’ve just never heard develop talent, the way it’s brought up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s nothing wrong with not knowing stuff, plenty of knowledgable people on here who will answers questions. But when you post a knee jerk reaction as an absolute it doesn’t come across well. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that we might be seeing the product of college schemes getting further and further away form the NFL. One that gets me is the disparity in knowledge and skill in route running by rookie WRs. ‘Bama seems to have a solid conveyor belt of NFL ready WRs who can run all the routes from the off.

Developing talent has always been a part of the NFL, but it’s becoming more and more a part. You’ve got to find talent wherever you can. Remember Grigson and his never ending search for players from all over the world? All 32 teams do this. Our last three draft picks from this last draft... all are developmental guys. Lots of college kids don’t get developed properly for a variety of reasons. Teams think their coaches can do a better job of getting the max out of these prospects. This trend is going to continue... everyone needs talent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been that way since i started watching the NFL in the mid 60's. Dungy was kind enough to make it CLEAR that there is usually a big jump from year one to year two. And most SB caliber teams have had many players with 4-7 years experience, with a number of those years spent playing together. Hope this helps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
