ANOTHER DLINE SIGNING - Colts re-sign Josh Thomas

by GoHorse88 on Aug 18, 2009 11:49 AM EDT

According to John Oehser (here) the Colts have re-signed DE Josh Thomas.

I'm baffled... Not only did we sign DE Rudolph Hardie last week, DT John Gill yesterday, but now we sign DE Josh Thomas. I love the dedication to beefing up the line, but that means thicker athletes, not just MORE people. How many Dlineman can we realistically keep on the roster, 11 - 12 MAX. I love the competition for spots but seriously Polian...

GO HORSE!

did anybody get cut to make room?

Could this be a motivational ploy, similar to Tony Ugoh’s situation, to try and ramp up the productivity of some of the big, young tackles they’ve added this year?
Otherwise, this move and Gill and Hardie puzzle me a lot!
In Polian (and Caldwell) I still trust.

warm bodies

the move we made last year with all of those QB’s was the same thing.

he should be trimmed when they cut down to 53.

Walter Mendenhall waived

According the “Activity feed” on Colts.com… Short lived stint with the Indianapolis Colts for Walter.

at RHIT

He was walking just fine. Looked minor. But I bet he didn’t practice today.

Who cares

It’s camp…they need bodies.

Or, perhaps deep in the bowels of the Colts complex they have developed a new technology that will somehow meld all these mediocre defenders into a Mutant Ogre of Defense, e.g….

At any rate, my advice is to just be happy that we have the privilege of enjoying football instead of dodging bullets or facing starvation or some such thing

He looks like a Raider fan.

But, good advice.

Nervous

I’m nervous that this might signal Brock won’t be ready for 9/13. Even worse, I’m concerned that Mathis’ “thigh bruise” might be more troubling than they’re saying. Thomas is a known quantity, knows the Colts’ system, so it makes sense in the short term.

The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.
