A third-round pick in 2021

 

[CR91]

I don't get it. There's one maybe two spots open at WR at best. We need oline depth

[AKB]

i dont really get this signing, more of a slot type guy

 

we have Dulin, McKenzie, and downs for that spot.

 

not really sure what the play is here with this

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It doesn’t make sense because the guys who might take that 5th and 6th spot have been pretty good in camp.

[Yoshinator]

He's a good depth signing. We cut Johnny King to get him, so it's a WR for a WR. I like Rodgers and think he is underrated and didn't get a fair chance on the Packers or Texans.

[Indyfan4life]

Maybe someone is injured and we’re unaware of it. Everyone needs to settle down. 

[w87r]

It's just WR churning, not that big a deal.

 

 

Everything isn't all about the top 53. Have PS spots that will need filled. 

 

Nothing wrong or confusing about dropping Johnny King on a flier on 3rd round WR from 2 years ago.

 

Saw enough of King, now want to get their eyes on another guy.

Rogers is also a return man.

So are Downs, McKenzie, and Flowers

We don't want Downs retuning.

 

Flower is potentially starting at CB, don't want him back there risking getting hurt.

 

 

 

Overblown reactions to an end of roster WR roster swap.

 

 

Colts did sign additional OL yesterday, since you were talking about OL depth as well.

They just signed an OT with decent experience.

Do you want any of those guys playing a ton of special teams?

i honestly dont want McKenzie stealing snaps from downs

[Fluke_33]

I think Armani suits this team well

He had 5 starts..

How many snaps do you think Downs and McKenzie are getting?

That will work its self out in Camp and preseason.   I'm excited to see Downs play

I hope Downs gets a bunch

Downs is a rookie. You think he's just gonna be handed meaningful snaps right out of the gates? Also Skipper has 5 starts last year. Not exactly a vet.

Well keep complaining, it's doing you a lot of good.

 

I didn't say he was a vet, he does have experience though, and all you asked was for some OL depth signing when complaining about end of the roster WR churn.

 

 

And even if Downs isn't "handed meaningful snaps out the gates", I'm not really trying to risk injury on a return. We can get a guy for that and if it came down to Downs or McKenzie returning kicks, I would much rather it be McKenzie.

 

 

Bottom line, you over reacted to a back end of roster churn.

Doubled down, simply cause someone mentioned he can be a returner.

 

 

There was nothing bad about this move no matter how many ways you want to spin it.

I found a mic and it may be yours bc I’m pretty sure you just dropped it.

Thanks, it's not really about that though.

 

Just didn't see the reasoning for the continual attempt to undermine an end of the roster WR swap. It's not that big of a deal. Just seeing more guys, it can't hurt anything.

You risk injury walking. There are better moves to make besides positions that don't need attention right now and I was just answering a poster about him being a returner. Why waste a spot when the three guys I mentioned can do it already? This isnt about a end of the roster move. This is about adding to already crowded rooms a la TE

Face it. Whine is what you were doing.  Over something not worth whining about.

We’re roughly 6 weeks before the Colts play games that count.   The Colts have plenty of time to acquire a depth OL or two by early September. 
 

Odds are, it will happen around cut down date.

I'm sure they will. Just don't get why they keep adding to crowded rooms.

The Colts currently don’t have Taylor and now Moss.   What’s so crowded about our RB room?

It's going to get alot more crowded in about 6 weeks. Absolutely nothing wrong with looking at all the possibilities.

Yeah I know, was just being funny. I saw it as you did. Cut a guy they already have seen enough to not make the roster and get someone else in that could have a chance. Armani probably wont make it either but it’s worth taking a look. Maybe he makes the practice squad and gets called up for a game or two bc of injuries.

No kidding!

 

we go through this every single year, year after year. The bottom of the roster is churned over and over throughout july to October and sometimes beyond. Heck, it’s had surprises too, that’s how we got Mitchell, Isaiah Rodgers and a few others that went on to be more than serviceable. All of which, most of the very same complaining today about not targeting a different position or person, are the same ones that did it back then. Guess some people just want to look deeper and play armchair GM and refuse to ever understand this

Rodgers was drafted by the Colts.

 

That is how we got Kenny though.

I had no idea who he was just playing with the Armani name, obviously.  My post wont' make sense now that you corrected the title!  lol.  Although, that probably keeps my nonsensical posts quota intact for the month.

Yeah, I was originally leaning towards Flowers being our return man. But with Isaiah Rodgers long gone, Stephon Gilmore traded, and Brents yet to show up for meaningful reps at TC and same with Darrius Rush, I can see why Minshew was picking our secondary apart in TC. Not sure if they risk injury to Flowers with a thin secondary. So I am with you, McKenzie will be returning kicks. But didn't he fumble against us in our 41-15 win vs Bills at Buffalo?

 

I am worried for our secondary this year, it is going to be brutal with large deficits early on, IMO. I would choose the Colts QB as a bargain in fantasy because they will get a lot of garbage production.
