Shock Of all Shockers! Colts Waive Kenneth Moore After Two Fumbles Against Redskins

PrintThere are just... just no words to describe this... this absolute SHOCKER of a news update we just received via Aerostar193:
Colts waived WR Kenneth Moore.
Moore had been doing some kick and punt returning but wasn't seeing any action on offense. He's a decent special teams player but sealed his fate when he fumbled twice (losing one) Sunday night.
I know folks. I know. I had to sit down when I read this. It came totally out of the blue. Sure, Kenneth Moore had two 'WTF IS THAT!' fumbles Sunday night. Sure, he was known to have muffed a key punt last season as a member of the Carolina Panthers. But to cut him today, two days after he nearly cost the Colts their fourth win of the season... I just... I just don't have the words to describe my level of shock.
Moore averaged 6 yards per punt return and 20 yards per kick return. He also has three fumbles in his three year career.
For Rotoworld (quoted above) to call him 'decent' is them being generous. Moore stinks as an NFL return man. I'm surprised the Colts let him fly back with the team from DC Sunday night after the game.

thank goodness
whoever found him needs to be taught,, he was horrible, you could see that the first week, and he was slow and tentative on kickoff returns I want a fast guy who has the potential to break one and who can give Pey some good starting field position and do not want to see Powers returning PUNTS!!!!( he is too valuable as a DB) on punts all I want is no FUMBLE
@OBGYNOSUPREME
Not to mention they sometimes have Justin Tryon returning kickoffs (although he is kinda good at it).

Brandon James?
He’s still on our practice squad right? I know he muffed a punt in pre-season (as did Ray Fisher)…but man, this kid is DYNAMIC! He could get Peyton the ball in great field position.
I hate seeing our corners back there returning…

as a Gator fan...
I saw B. James do some great great things on kick/punt returns. He’s small, but so dynamic

I can't imagine them going any other direction
He has been practicing with the team since OTAs, and he was very solid in every play except one in preseason. Courtney Roby dropped one, was cut, and turned into one hell of a returner for another team; I hope the FO sees that they need to put away their pride and give James another shot. I sort of understood James getting cut after his muff (as BBS repeated 75-80 times during preseason, BP is focused on how they play “when the lights go on”), but I can’t imagine them having the logic to do anything but bring up James ASAP.
I never fully understood why they signed Kenny Moore in the first place — surely they didn’t think he was a better option than Brandon James a few weeks ago. He never had a chance of playing his listed position (WR). And quite frankly, he was never very good at his job.
yes
they made all that hype pre-season about finding a good kickoff and punt return man and getting better field position this year give James a chance

Honestly, I thought he should have been cut on the sideline and had to take a cab back to Indy. The fact that he was allowed to board the plane and potentially infect the team with his case of the fumbles is horrifying.
We rise. They fall.

Jim Caldwell had to go to each player that came in contact with Moore and go “Circle circle dot dot now you’ve got the fumble shot.”

We're nice guys...
even if the fans of DC appreciate Moore’s help on Sunday they still wouldn’t want him hanging around. Although a plane ticket’s kind of expensive for that return, a greyhound would have worked just as well.

Love the "Sarcasm" BBS
I wasn’t shocked at all, as a matter of fact I called it yesterday on a thread someone posted. Now we can bring Brandon James to the table and watch him do the damn thing. B James can return both kickoffs and punts cause I know Caldwell wont put him on the offense.

yes
B James give him a chance if he fumbles once he is gone,, let Peyton start from the 30-40 yd lines sometimes Moore couldn’t even get back to the 20!!!!

I wrote a fanpost about brandon james in the summer
I LOVE what the kid brings to the table and i think he deserves to be the next man up! I think he will have some big returns in the upcoming monday night slugfest with the texans
COLTS FOOTBALL
B James
I’m sorry but can someone please explain why B james would be any better? He did nothing in preseason to show me anything different. He muffed a punt, his returns were not all that great and he got the most chances to prove himself.
I honestly think the solution is Ray Fisher, yes, Fisher also muffed a punt but he did way better with the slim chances he got in preseason. I think his avg was 33 yards.
a did have some nice return during preseason actually
he had a 50 something one but it was called back

did you watch James in college? watch some tape and you’ll see why a lot of us are excited for him to get a chance…he’s a real game changer.
So why did we sign this guy in the first place?
Not a genius move
