Colts might have brought back Roy Hall

I have no life. I admit it. And since I have no life, all I do all day is hit F5 on the Colts roster page, hoping for some kind of change to the list. Today, the Colts updated their page, adding names like J.D. Skolnitsky and removing names like Raheem Brock.

However, one name that was seemingly re-added was wide receiver Roy Hall, assigned #81.

Rothallresigned_medium

I'll try and get confirmation on this, but the page is marked as being updated March 9, 2010, and players like Tim Jennings and T.J. Rushing are off the list. So, if Hall is there, it likely is not a mistake.

Hall was placed on the injured-waived list in mid-August of last year. The general feeling at the time was his career with the Colts was over. Perhaps that feeling was inaccurate.

Interesting side note: Recent Colts signing Andy Alleman is not listed on this new roster page.

Shouldn't he have been on Injured Reserve anyway?

I thought that when a player is placed on the Injured-Waived list, there is a set time period for how long he can be picked up by another team. If no team adds him in that time and he doesn’t appeal his injured status, then he lands on the team’s injured reserve and his contract is kept. Correct?

That's what PFT wrote

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/08/13/colts-waive-roy-hall-sign-walter-mendenhall/

I confess, I thought he was waived, period, and I thought we discussed that on Phil B’s blog. But I can’t find the mention.

So we don't have Lilja, Sorgi, Brock or Jackson.

But we DO have Roy Hall. Fabulous. Just fabulous.

I think that after the success of Collie and Garcon last year

Polian has rethought the whole untested young WR concept.

Plug ’em in, get 7 TDs and 700 yards and keep on going.

Plus, Hall is TALL, Like those SD WRs, man, he’s like his own basketball team. And we all know how far that got them in the playoffs…. oh, wait, um, never mind.

I never get tired of that photo

But I have one question: I know Freeney is not as tall as, say, Vincent Jackson (who is like a basketball player, man….), but Rosenchoppa is about seven feet off the ground there.

How the hell does that happen? When has a QB’s feet being more than two feet off the ground ever been a good thing? I can imagine maybe a goal line plunge where he goes over the top instead of under the pile… but seven feet up there?

Now I have to go find a clip to enjoy it all over again.

An injured ankle there could have also changed that game. Oh wait Freeney’s ankle did just that.

By my count

62 guys are on the roster(57 listed). Do the league expects final4 teams to sign a bunch of rookie FAs and bums to the off-season roster??? The Colts have to add around 25 guys for OTAs and stuff…..They should be allowed to have more freedom.

honestly as much as I hate the impact to the Colts

I love the "poison pill’-esque impact of the cap expiration. It has been paramount that the NFL maintain parity (at least in my mind) and these new rules have done that… for this year. It remains the requirement of the owners, managers and coaches to do what they can with what they have… I trust Polian can still navigate the waters under these new constraints.

I agree with gizzardfanny that there is no requirement to completely fill the roster, but I would think it behooves the team to get as many viable options as they can (key word of course being “viable”).
