Chargers sign DT Tommie Harris and place SS Bob Sanders on IR.

I feel bad for Bob.

Without him, there’s no way the Colts would have won their one super bowl. We can always thank him for that. I’m glad he has that ring.

Will always remember the sheer effort and love of the game he brought… Its too bad he couldn’t stay healthy, but I guess that is what happens when you are 5’ 8" and 190 lbs and throw your body at defenders like a wrecking ball.

Good luck Bob.

Agreed

He was awesome to watch. Feel really bad that he just couldn’t stay in the game.

Such a good combo

With Bob’s ability to clean up the LB’s and DT’s inability to tackle, the combo of him and Bethea was incredibly fun to watch. Its too bad, I hope it doesn’t take as long to replace good old Bob as it is taking to replace Tarik Glen.

I have a feeling Tommie Harris will be good

Tommie Harris was let go because of his swagger or whatever locker room chemistry issues they felt he might bring to the table. I don’t think he was truly cut for performance or injury issues. I have a feeling he is going to be solid with the Chargers this year.

by chad72 on Sep 28, 2011 5:34 PM EDT reply actions

I'd like to hear what Coyer has to say about the cutting of Harris.

Maybe it’s another situation where, if asked, Coyer dosen’t know and says ‘ask the HC’.

Then why haven't other teams picked him up? He's been out there a while.

by ugene on Sep 29, 2011 4:07 PM EDT up reply actions

Per Justin Tryon's twitter account:

“I thank the Colts die hard fans for the love they’re showing me! I’M A STARTER yes.. Caldwell wanted to start me but it wasn’t up to him!”

“Now done with that!! I’m def ready for the next chapter in this wonderful story!! IM BLESSED!! lay off of Caldwell he’s a great coach! Peace”

I don’t agree with the great coach part but maybe in practices he is. Maybe in-game is his major weakness. I liked the moves he made in 09.

So, it wasn’t Coyer, and it wasn’t Caldwell. Who could POSSIBLY have been responsible for cutting Tryon while Lacey doesn’t just stick on the team, but stays a starter? WHO COULD IT BE?

Polian was supposed to be moving out of his GM role

but since he named himself “Vice Chairman” his need to control every facet of this team has grown faster than kudzu on a telephone pole. Why would he even begin to think he knows the players and their strengths and weaknesses better than the coaches and coordinators? Insanity, and megalomania. He should just let his son do the job Irsay gave him, and stay out of the football operations business.

Where the hell is BBS?

As much as he hates Polian, he should be all over this. It’s finally come out that Caldwell is not allowed to make simple lineup or roster decisions. Wake up and get the word out!

Seriously what other NFL head coach would stand for this? Being told he’s not allowed to start who he wants to start? Can you imagine someone trying to tell Bill Belichick or Andy Reid or Rex Ryan that he’s not allowed to decide which CB to start?
