so far no surprises. Spence was disappointing, had hope he might be a good addition, but he looked a bit slow throughout preseason.

I actually thought he was pretty good while out there- it was surprising to see him playing late in the games though, sort of set the stage for this I guess.

sure he is. pretty much like every gm does. he is just more of the same. not saying he won't be a good gm but he isn't doing things we havent seen a thousand times with other gms

you can't gut them all. this is the first time apballin has made a decent point in years.

but it isn't unexpected. it is what new guys do

Cutting McGill is just stupid. He is a decent pass rushing DT. Grover Stewart, who presumably took McGills spot, has shown NOTHING this preseason.

Does look like he's just clearing out Grigson guys.

McGill has always been a head scratcher. I guess he's a square peg in a round hole in Clappy's D, but he always seemed to just make plays when on the field. He could thrive as a rush DT in a more traditional 4-3 D IMHO.

I agree McGill would be better in a 4-3.

Look some of these guys just got beat out. Ayers was beat out by Mingo, and they wanna see if Basham can develop.

McGill did make some splash plays, but he got eaten up in the run game, so he basically got beat out by Grover Stewart, who's more of a traditional 3-4 DT.

Spence got beat out by almost every ILB on the roster. Why? I can't tell you. Spence never seemed to get a chance. Since the majority of TC was closed to the public, we may never know.

This is becoming a comedy show. We have four QB's and four "servicable" and very similar RB's, yet we have effectively one center, an undrafted center might I add. If you are Andrew Luck are you not doing everything possible to stay off the field?????

I am rapidly falling into the category that feels Irsay runs the whole thing and even football guys like Ballard who get that it all starts up front are just window dressing with no ability to right this ship that is rapidly taking on water.

You can't get any more opposite Ryan Grigson than cutting a draft pick same year 'cuz you evaluate him as underperforming.

That said, most of those guys make it to the PS no doubt. Which is essentially just redshirting raw players like Banner anyway.

Is Morris like toting around a bottle of Vodka and smoking weed in the huddle during practices or what?

SMH in complete confusion at what is being done with this team. Maybe we are taking the Suck for Darnold route to replace Luck? Don't know, just know there are a bunch of moves I can't get my head around...

If Morris is as good as we think he is, then he won't clear waivers.

DrSpaceman

Yes I find the QB trade in particular just baffling.

Should have just kept Morris and not bothered with the trade. Or kept Morris and cut Tolzien.

Uh, no?

He cut his own 4th round pick, and his own FA guys like Locke, Schwenke, Spence, etc.

He doesn't seem to try to cover up his mistakes like Grigson/Polian, but let's hope he starts to limit his mistakes.

Or not even giving him a chance, I'd say all the draft picks underperformed other than Mack

I know that we only ended up keeping 6 D-Linemen with all of the injuries in the secondary and O-Line and that mcGill was D-Lineman #7.

However, if the Colts knew/suspected this and it was a factor in his release.....it would explain a lot.

Walk Worthy,

But he is still an idiot, even if it was a "small amount"
