My Final Cuts

by shake n bake on Aug 28, 2008 10:05 PM EDT Comment 19 comments

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.

Yeah I’m confused about Aromashadu as well. I was under the impression he would be the 4th receiver.

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.

by DoTheMathis98 on Aug 29, 2008 8:45 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

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.

by BetterD on Aug 29, 2008 10:46 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

Maybe over Condren

but I doubt it, and I don’t think they’ll carry 5 safeties with the OL and LB injuries.

No way

Condren has shown a lot more than Bullett, two picks and some fantastic hits.

by slash196 on Aug 29, 2008 11:22 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

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.

by DoTheMathis98 on Aug 29, 2008 1:09 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

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.
