It seems former-Indianapolis high school standout Devin Moore has beaten out both Ray Fisher and Brandon James for the special teams return duties. It was reported yesterday that Ray Fisher was released. Today, the Colts parted ways with Brandon James.
James' fate was sealed when he muffed a punt return against the Green Bay Packers in the Colts third preseason game. James, an undrafted rookie from Florida, is eligible for the Colts practice squad.

Yep
Taj has torn hammy so he’s likely out. My money is on White.

Gotta be White.
The guy played really well.
LOL
Calm down metal. All is well, brother.

B. James may make the PS
get a little seasoning. He has some potential.
Im not gonna be shocked if Blair White ends up as a return man.
If Russia attacked Turkey from the rear, Do you think Greece would help?
idk.. but
he seems a lil slow to return.. he has great hands for sure and good awareness and size… good slot receiver imo
i agree with everyone's assessment of Blair.
I wonder what the return depth chart looks like?
If Russia attacked Turkey from the rear, Do you think Greece would help?
No way
No way Blair White returns. Devin Moore can handle both KR & PR duties, I don’t see why not.
Right now, I look at Devin Moore as a slightly better version of Chad Simpson. He might take 2 TDs back to the house and maybe give us 10 extra yards on average in the return game. I will take that, if that helps Manning and the O.
Right now I want to look at backup OTs released
For the love of God, let some running team release a pass protecting backup OT (wishful thinking here :-)).
Kyle Calloway
Bills cut him yesterday.

I don't know.
He was cut because he wasn’t doing well. I guess I’d rather take a chance on him then get Terry back who we know already sucks.
Jacob Bender
Giants. Don’t know anything about him.
Blair
at 6’2" with awesome hands and body control.. i can see him being a Colt for a long time, we have speed in garcon and wayne, i can see Blair as a big red zone target with great hands and the catch he made the last game dragging his feet ala harrison won me over
I'm thinking the same thing.
He’d be a great addition for spreading the field on 3rd and short and the red zone. A guy that will force a mismatch and that can just flat out catch.
Yup... you got him pegged.
Good point about endzone target. I’ve even seen him leap and make great catches. He’s a few inches taller than Garcon & Wayne, as i recall.

I believe they are all listed at 6'0" and White is 6'2"
Only 2" but most CBs are around 5’9" or 5’10".
Reggie is 6'0" ???
ummm… not sure i believe that, but whatever.

you may be right.
Seeing Wayne on the sideline next to other players, he looks shorter than six-foot. I remember one pic in particular where he was standing next to Marvin and was barely taller. But perspective can make a big diff.
If we can trust the perspective of this pic, he does look about 4" shorter than Peyton.

Blair has pretty good arm length too
long arms good jump and a couple of inches taller than most CBs + Peyton throwing to him = endzone TDs and 3rd down conversions IMHO
yes, please

Well, our reciever depth is now officially incredible
Bring on the injuries! (JUST KIDDING)
Maybe
Might do podcast tomorrow when roster is finalized, including PS. Might get John O on the show.

Well Oakland is stacked at QB
with the castoffs and unwanted riffraff of the other teams. Hey, if you can’t draft a QB yourself someone else has got to able to right?
another 2nd draft pick gets cut
Buffalo Bills just cut former IU standout James Hardy; Colts, Browns & Bears said to have interest
He never did anything, though.
He has a total of 10 catches, but 2 of those were TDs. Reminds me of Carter “all he does is catch touchdowns.” Maybe if he had a real QB throwing to him he’d be better.
Maybe
I’m not sure he showed enough for other teams to have too much interest, but you never know. I think if he clears waivers we P squad him. Moore had some injury issues in PS and James with some practice might show some of that explosiveness from college in the NFL.
Hardy's cut??
Wow… someone needs to pick him up. I think Buffalo’s making a mistake there.
Granted, I don’t think the Colts need to grab him. What would they do with another receiver? But I’m guessing someone else will.
------
"How can a pickup truck contain enough mass to unfold into a towering machine? I say if Ringling Brothers can get 15 clowns into a Volkswagen, anything is possible."
I saw Hardy at his best when he was in school, and have been following him heavily since. He has nagging injuries, and I believe he just ran into another injury a few weeks ago and was expected to miss most/all of this season.
I remember when Porter was drafted just before Hardy, thinking “well, I’m happy to see two IU kids picked early, but I think the Saints will regret that pick”. I wish I was right :\

Steelers
Steelers waived G Kraig Urbik

Ravens waived, amongst others, QB Troy Smith, RB Curtis Steele, T Devin Tyler and WR Demetrius Williams.
SB Nation's Indianapolis Colts blogger at Stampede Blue and editor of SB Nation Indiana.
Troy Smith!
Now there’s a guy I’d love to have as our backup QB. Completely different aspect to the game. And he may even help us win if we sit PM again.
Maybe we could get Smith and Pat White!
We could put them both in and they could run around, bump into each other like a couple Patrick Ewings then throw a long bomb pick 6. Touchdown!
Back in reality, if it were anyone but the Colts and a few other teams, the idea of a change of pace QB might work. But that’s just not the philosophy or game plan here. Bringing in a guy that different of a player and that less talented is just doom.
OL and some DBs in similar systems waived so far
Vikings – OT Chris Clark, OG Adrian Battles
Giants – OL Guy Whimper on trading block
Titans – OL Michael Toudouze
Bears – OL James Marten, OL Levi Horn, OL Tim Walter, OL Edwin Williams
Panthers – OG C.J.Davis
Giants – OL Jacob Bender
Steelers – OG Kraig Urbik
Bills – OT Kyle Calloway
Ravens – OT Joe Reitz (former TE, has Indy connections)
DBs waived from teams playing somewhat similar systems to the Colts prior to this season (since next season is no certainty):
C.J.Wilson & Brian Witherspoon – CB, Panthers; Tyrone Carter – FS, Redskins; DeAndre Wright – CB, Vikings; Aaron Webster – S, Bears;
Oakland fielding trade calls for a very good coverage LB that I liked (not good in run support) but gave Manning fits when we played in Oakland last – Thomas Howard, LB
Add Myron Rolle too
Of course, add Myron Rolle to the above list as well.
2 more safeties
Quintin Demps, not sure if he did not get along with the Eagles, he just got released. Another SS that Colts fans wanted in the draft, Kyle McCarthy, got released by the Broncos as well.
Rumor
TJ Housh to Vikes.
SB Nation's Indianapolis Colts blogger at Stampede Blue and editor of SB Nation Indiana.
I thought they were going to try to get V jack
TJ is a nice weapon for granpa.. granpa just wants to keep on adding stats , guess he is afraid of loosing some of those records to Peyton, nonetheless he will
Not the INT record
He will keep the INT record for eternity :-).
More
Checking on rumors of Vikings letting go of Javon Walker so they can pursue Houshmandzadeh. Nothing confirmed yet.

Blair White cut
Shocker, Blair White cut

Does say anything about White being cut.

Nevermind
Odd that he’s there with Adam Terry.

Hopefully
U are right.

He's too damn good of a receiver to cut him.
They can’t keep Taj and have nobody else. No way in hell will they go with only 4 receivers.
Hartwig
Steelers cut him

Interesting
Seattle OL coach Alex Gibbs, an all-time great assistant coach, abruptly resigned a week before Seahawks opening game. More at ESPN.com.
SB Nation's Indianapolis Colts blogger at Stampede Blue and editor of SB Nation Indiana.
it's been a horrible week for former colts
stokley, brock, sorgi, simpson to name just a few getting cut by other teams this week or going to IR.
I noticed that former Colt Dan Klecko was cut by the Eagles, and the NFL transaction page listed him as a RB!!!! Jeez, a guy catches one TD from Peyton Manning and everyone suddenly overlooks that he’s 275 pounds and slooow. Way to reinvent yourself, Dano.
"To be a great football coach, you have to be smart enough to do it well, and dumb enough to think it's important." -- Can't remember whom I am paraphrasing.
Rumor
Bengals are trying to work out a trade for Jaguars safety Reggie Nelson, a former first-round pick,

That sucks they cut Brandon James. I liked him.
On a side note I just returned a punt for a td with him against the texans in wk1
