KC released Darius Rush (Merge)

[Patrick Miller]

With as crappy as our secondary is, it couldn’t hurt to bring him back to compete.

[NewColtsFan]

It’ll be interesting to see if the Colts put in a claim?    I’m not predicting one way or another, I realize there are a lot of roster gymnastics that have to happen. 
 

KC may be hoping to re-claim and stash Rush on the PS.    Still, it’s something to keep an eye out for. 

[Scott Pennock]

We will re-sign him if we can to at least the PS

[Hawkeyecolt]

I said three weeks ago after KC cuts him people are going to realize they were making too big a deal over a 5th Rd draft pick being released. 

[GoColts8818]

Ballard said in the presser after the cuts they were hoping to get him back so I wouldn’t be shocked at all if he ends up on the Colts practice squad.

[AwesomeAustin]

Maybe if we want him on the PS to see if he will develop. He has been cut by two teams rather quickly so he may not be NFL caliber. Will be interesting to see if we do sign him

I think he ends up back here as well, likely takes Isaac Taylor Stuart's ps spot

[Shive]

Rush was always going to be a guy with high end traits that would need a little bit of time to develop since he was so new to playing CB. Since KC had to sign him to their 53 man roster when they claimed him off waivers, I figured it was a matter of time before he got cut. It's not an indictment on him being NFL caliber or not, just that he's not there yet.

 

I'd love to get him on our practice squad. You have to wonder if KC would offer a spot on theirs and if he'd rather stay there.

Yeah KC may want him on theirs as well and then he might be in position to pick which team he goes too.

[rockywoj]

If I am Rush, looking at how questionable the Colts secondary is, I would choose to sign on with the Colts practice squad. I’d like my odds of getting a call up to the active roster.

KC being a Super Bowl favorite might make the difference.

There is also the chance when KC claimed him they told him they were going to do this and put him on the practice squad.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I don’t think Rush is the answer. I think with his good this team has looked they need to go see if they can find a vet.

[Patrick Miller]

I would love to see them bring in a vet. Any decent ones out there?

They do have Lammons who will be back week four after his suspension.

They might be tempted if we suddenly enter the playoff picture.

Might be too late by then. I bet if they knew Richardson and this team was going to look this good they might of went after a vet or two after they rodgers thing.

They did, they have Chris Lammons.  He will be back week four after his suspension is up.  Not saying he will be a game changer but he’s the level of vet corner you were going to get then or now for that matter.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Now I wonder what would of happened had Gilly wanted to stay.

Had he wanted to stay and had Rodgers not bet on the NFL the Colts defense would be strong every where but safety.

I think we are ok at safety.

I’d agree okay.  My point was if they had Gilmore, Rodgers, and Moore at corner along with everyone else they have those units are all really really good, in some cases (DT and LB) as good as you will find in the league.  The safeties are just okay, which isn’t bad but they would be the clear weak spot in the defense.

I’m not sure but if you put in a claim does he have to be on the 53?  I thought you can only be out on ps is after you clear wavers.  I could be off

[smittywerb]

Bring him back, he has to be better than Baker lol.

 

but seriously, bring him back.  He has the intangibles, just need to be refined.

If he's claimed off of waivers he has to go to the 53 man roster. I doubt we do that since we waived him initially to put him onto the practice squad. He made it all the way to the last waiver spot before, so I imagine he'll clear waivers and can be signed to a PS (hopefully ours).

We have Darren Hall dont forget,much better then Lammons 

 

Darren Hall-         31 games, 10 starts, 9 starts last season. PFF grade- 65,5 2022

Chris Lammons-  42 games, 0 starts PFF grade-  44.4 2022

 

Hall is 6'1, Lammons 5'9

That's what i thought.  Thank you

PS at best, for development.

I remember, watching in this preseason and was not impressed with Lammons. He was toast several times

[John Waylon]

Can he really be worse than Baker?

 

Really?

Good question……I think you’re right he would have to go on our 53 if it’s a waiver claim. If he passes thru waivers then we can get him to the practice squad 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Brent’s will probably play against the ravens. 

[Rolltide_gocolts]

What could it hurt.. I mean watching baker was the closest I’ve seen to invisible since Greg Toler days … Like we all knew they were going after him let’s send help  or get him out

[Scott Pennock]

Nico ran that same skinny post and CJ hit him in stride every time. Baker played the outside leverage BUT the Cover 2 is designed to have a backer drop back into coverage AND safety help over the top. All three have to work in unison. It is not working and everyone is piling on Baker…….go back and watch the game, number 39 wasn’t the only one that got beat on that route. That is not me saying Baker is great, but, young guys with no NFL experience learn on the fly just like Flowers, Brent’s, Jones and Rush (if he gets re-signed)……the only difference is fans will be screaming that Brents and Jones are busts too. 

 

 

[Lifetime Colt]

I would like to see Nick Cross included in the "learn on the fly" philosophy just as these young corners are. He seems to have made a decent leap from his rookie year, has the speed and toughness to contribute somehow. Maybe Kenny moves to corner and Cross gets some nickel experience in his place.

Agreed.  If he was waived by two different teams, both in his initial year, then he's probably not the answer.  For any team.  A depth player?  Sure.  A special teams player?  Sure.  The Answer?  Ehhh....

[a06cc]

Secondary is young and learning. Too late to pick up a Vet unless one becomes available

I don't even want a Vet to be honest. Playing time is what is going to make all the youngsters better in the long haul. It's growing pains and to get better they all need the playing time.

I don’t want him back to be the answer I want him back to develop him.  The Colts saw something they liked that made them draft him in the fifth round.  That’s why I suggested the practice squad.

I’m with you on that fact they need to get those lumps, but they can still learn more from the help of a Vet. Need Brents to play as well.
