My Final Cuts
The Colts have to cut the roster from 75 to 53 by Saturday. So 22 (or 21 if Lilja goes on the PUP or any of the recent injuries go on IR) guys have to go. Here's my picks for the chopping block. In no particular order.
- HB Kenton Keith
- DB Brandon Foster
- LB Victor Worsley
- OG Tala Esera
- QB Jared Lorenzen
- QB Quinn Gray
- WR Sam Giguere
- OT Corey Hillard
- WR Onrea Jones
- OT Darren Marquez
- HB Chad Simpson
- DT Joe Bradley
- DT Dan Davis
- DE Ben Ishola
- DE Josh Thomas
- DE Jeff Charleston
- TE Tyrice Thomas
- LB Jordan Senn
- DB Melvin Bullitt
- DB Jamie Silva
- WR Devin Aromashadu
- LB Kyle Shotwell
And the seven man practice squad from those 22, well 6 from the 22.
- QB Adam Tafralis (They need a PS QB and Gray/Fatty are eligible)
- HB Chad Simpson
- LB Victor Worsley
- OT Corey Hillard
- DB Jamie Silva
- LB Kyle Shotwell
- WR Devin Aromashodu

Is Charleston Eligible
Because he played in 13 games last year, and I thought the limit was 10.

I wondered about him
but I didn’t think he made it into nearly that many games. Fixing it.

WR Devin Aromashadu ??
I thought I had recently read somewhere he had supplanted Roy Hall as the #4 WR … I did see that Hall played last night, or does this have to do with Courtney Roby ??
And if he makes the team will Roby see time at WR or be strictly a PR/KR ??
Find it interesting to see Aromashadu cut and Sam Giguere on the practice squad over him … if we have another WR injury … I see Devin as a better fill in

I though Charleston didn't have enough games
and Aroma had too many for the PS, I was wrong.
If they keep Roby, Hall and Garcon that’s 6 WRs without Aroma. I haven’t been impressed by him so far, when I last did the WR stats he was 4 for 12 catching the ball.

Linemen
Bill Pollian said on the post-game show last night that they will have to keep alot more linemen on the squad than they normally will because of all the injuries. I would expect to see 2 and possibly 3 OL on the practice squad.
I kept more OL on the roster instead
those cuts would leave 10 OLs on the roster with Saturday who is hurt and maybe Pollak for a bit. So that’s 8 or 9 O-Linemen in practice.

plus Hillard (or whoever)
from the PS, so 9 or 10 OLs in practice

I hadn't checked ...
Aromashadu’s stats … so I wasn’t sure how well he had actually done in the pre-season, however I do believe he has good speed and size and he does have experience with Peyton from last season
However, I am big on Roy Hall and love the idea of a 4 WR set this year …
Do you really think they keep Garcon and Roby ?? Looks like Roby has been doing better returning kicks … interesting to see how it all plays out

The forgotten man
Melvin Bullett will make the final roster.
Maybe over Condren
but I doubt it, and I don’t think they’ll carry 5 safeties with the OL and LB injuries.

Bullitt is a goner.
He was a waist of roster space last year, made 2 tackles all pre-season and got hurt again on the second one against Buffalo. He can’t take a hit and is not as durrable as Silva or Condren. You also have to remember they need backups for Sanders and Bethea. Both have had injuries that can easily be re-injured.
Silva and Condren will make the cut. Bullitt might make the PS, but I doubt it.
he did have one spectacular play
where he outjumped Randy Moss in the endzone and knocked down the pass.

yes way
he’s got a start against Tenn last year, he had 8 tackles that game and 12 ST tackles. He was injured most of the preseason, but, the coaches like him, and he will be on the final roster.
Waiver
One thing to remember, that is impossible to predict, is the possibility of the Colts picking up players of waivers from other teams that make their cuts on Saturday. Things could look completely different if that happens.
This is why
Preseason is stupid. Teams spend 4 or 5 preseason games evaluating talent on their own roster then end up signing players that were cut from other teams that they haven’t watched nearly as much (if at all). I hope the Colts don’t go the way of the waiver wire. I think the squad we have right now has the personnel available to do the job.
