CB Justin King in for a "Look-See"

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Howard Balzer reporting Colts had a look-see with former Rams CB Justin King.

Graded by Pro Football Focus as their "Worst Corner" who battled injuries and was routinely burned.

Hmgh.

[Nobody]

We have enough slow and generally bad CBs.

[Dan]

Didn't he get a 4.3 in the 40? No idea how he got burned so often unless he has the slowest reactions in the world.

[Gavin]

Mhhm are we trying to suck?

[CS Colts Fan]

I am asking why are we even looking at the guy? Do they not like what they see in our current guys including the new UDFA? rated worse CB with injuries.. we have alot of CB like that now ? Hum..

[OZOC01]

There's no harm in looking. Future injuries could make this a necessity.

[21isSuperman]

After the play from our secondary last year and after we added Pagano, I thought "there is no way our secondary will be worse than last year"....

In all seriousness, there's no saying what could happen. He could just be a camp body, or he might have actually worked hard and improved his game, or maybe he was simply in the wrong system over in St. Louis and our system is better for him

I wondered the same but ehhh, Grigs could've been throwing the Kid's agent a bone (aka building/maintaining relationships). I don't see anyone considering King anything but depth. So it would appear Grigs was willing to bring him in and let him compete. But did he even get past the "look-see"?

Im writing an article about this now.

I'm all for this signing. King is super fast and getting better in the tacklign department. Could maybe compete for the starting job.

Justin King is slow?

[ColtJ82]

Sometimes a change in atmosphere can work wonders. This reminds of the Tim Jennings situation. Who knows......

[Andy]

Justin King is one of the fastest CBs in the league.

Justin King is one of the fastest CBs in the league.

yeah I know now, I assumed a guy who is constantly burned would be slow. He must have terrible instincts.

[Nobody]

Justin King is slow?

Nope I was assuming.

[Coffeedrinker]

Did the Colts sign him? All I see is they brought him in for a workout.

They have not signed him.... yet ;)

Andy, point us to the article when you're done. Look see can't hurt.

Just saw the post of your article. Thanks.

[weslo1812]

My qustion is how good is he at covering guys and playing the ball? Can he be physical and jam at the line of scrimmage? I cant seem seem to find any video of this guy so I cant fget an Idea of this stuff.

[GrizzColt]

Deion Sanders couldn't tackle either. Is King the "worst" because of his tackling or his coverage?

[coltsguy510]

Seems like a low risk-high reward type of player. If anything, sign him for depth.

[crazycolt1]

Having a look see does not mean signing. Maybe the coaches could see something in him that could be coached up. He has the speed who knows? The Rams have had some losing ways. Was it bad players or bad coaching, or both? There are always players who look bad at one place and look better on a different team with a different system. Happens every season.

[Superman]

It's May.

[shakedownstreet]

It's May.

:dancing: :dancing:

[Andy]

Just posted an article on why we should sign King.

[KarlKuffs]

Nope I was assuming.

Well, notice that nobody took exception to the "generally bad" portion of your response

[Scott Pennock]

Pagano picked up some former "busts" and some "scrubs" when he was with BMore and still maintained a Top-10 defense such as:

"Scrubs"

Chris Carr - UDFA (by the Raiders), Cary Williams - 7th Round (by the Titans), Frank Walker - 6th Round (by the Giants)

AND

"Busts"

Josh Wilson - 2nd Round (by the Seahawks), Fabian Washington - 1st Round (by the Raiders), Dominique Foxworth - 3rd Round (by the Broncos)

So picking up a few low risk-high reward free agents wouldn't hurt as you never know which ones may flourish under new coaches and a different scheme!??!

[coltsfanatic24]

justin king is one of the worst cb's in the nfl. hes very fast but lacks instincts of playing the cb position. no way should we sign this guy he's worse then lacey.

[blue crunk monkey]

I still say we make some kind of play for Mike Jenkins. I read he wants traded. He is not participating in ota's either because of this.
