Roster Moves: Colts bring in several players for tryouts Youth Darius Leonard Jersey , release LBs George and Adams A general manager’s work is never done, especially when that general manager operates on the philosophy that no stone should remain unturned to find competitive talent to bolster a team’s roster. With that mentality, Ballard has continued to churn the Colts’ roster, making more moves and bringing in players for tryouts.Waived PlayersColts linebacker Jeremiah George has been released and they have also waived Tyrell Adams, who were both on IR. They have received injury settlements and to allow the team to part with them. Neither move is entirely surprising, as both were expected to provide depth on the roster, and George particularly did not stand out among a much younger and faster linebacker group.Offensive LinemenWe detailed the addition of Sean Harlow here, and Will Holden is cut from the same mold. Holden saw his draft stock rise in the East-West Shrine game and ended up being selected in the 5th round by the Arizona Cardinals. He was a cutdown casualty a week ago, and now finds himself visiting the Colts. Like Harlow, Holden can play the guard or tackle position.LinebackersNigel Harris is a 23-year-old undrafted free agent linebacker who spent time with the Chargers, Giants, and Buccaneers last season before being waived by the Bucs during cutdowns. He has played in 8 games in his time in his short time in the league.Jacob Pugh is an option at the SAM linebacker position who spent time with Seattle this offseason. He was signed as an undrafted free agent but was not able to make the final roster in Seattle. Pugh played as a 3-4 rush linebacker, but could be a good fit as depth at the SAM in the Colts’ 4-3 scheme. Emmanuel Smith is another young linebacker who might be a fit at the SAM role as a depth guy. He has the speed and athleticism coming out of Vanderbilt to be a special teams contributor. He spent the offseason with the Falcons before being released at cuts. CornerbacksTarvarus McFadden was a much sought after undrafted free agent and signed with the 49ers, spending his camp there. He has the right length and ability to do well at the position, and it is certainly one in need of improvement for the Colts. He would be another player who needs to show an ability to contribute to special teams.Kalan Reed was the Titans’ 7th round pick in 2016 and was placed on injured reserve and then released on August 27th of this year after he broke his foot during practice. He has played in 7 games in his career, but would likely be unable to contribute immediately while recovering from his foot injury.Herb Waters is a corner who converted from wide receiver during his first season with the Packers in 2016, after signing as an undrafted free agent. He missed the season after a shoulder injury last August and re-signed with the Packers this offseason, but did not survive cuts. Wide ReceiverKorey Robertson was a coveted undrafted free agent and was signed by the Vikings in the offseason and given a $50,000 signing bonus to entice him there. Given the team’s crowded wide receiver room http://www.authenticsindianapoliscolts.com/cheap-margus-hunt-jersey , it isn’t terribly upsetting to think he couldn’t make the cut, and he could definitely offer improvement for a team like the Colts with a lot of questions at the position. Robertson is a player who knows how to use his size well, and that matters to Chris Ballard. He isn’t’ the fastest player, so he would need to show an ability to really polish his route running to make himself a role on the team, but he has the measurable to give himself a chance.There is one commonality among all these players. They are all younger than 25 years old. While players like Johnathan Hankins and Bashaud Breeland sit on the market as free agents, Chris Ballard continues to look for possible additions in young players who can be developed and grown as a part of the team’s long term plan. The Patriots are just three games into the season, but their problems on offense are quickly starting to pile up.New England has displayed numerous issues in the passing game during back-to-back losses . But its inability to produce a sustained rushing attack has been just as glaring.Coach Bill Belichick said he's seen moments in which his team has looked good running the ball.He also acknowledges those instances have been few from a rushing attack that has yet to produce a touchdown through three games.Now the Patriots will have to find a way to fix things without starter Rex Burkhead. He was placed on injured reserve Wednesday , three days after he left the loss to the Detroit Lions with a neck injury."It's been inconsistent," Belichick said. "We need more consistency in every area of our game. So, the answer's the same for all of it — running game, passing game. We haven't been consistent enough."Burkhead goes to IR as New England's leading rusher this season, carrying 24 times for 86 yards. Running back Kenjon Barner was signed Wednesday to fill his spot on the roster.But the coaching staff will be looking primarily to veteran James White and rookie Sony Michel to increase their output in Burkhead's absence.Michel has been the Patriots' second-most productive running back so far, tallying 24 carries for 84 yards.White has gotten his touches mostly through the passing game, hauling in a team-best 14 catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns. He has rushed 13 times for 66 yards.He said Burkhead's loss hurts, but is nothing they can't recover from."Rex is a good football player. It's tough to see him go down," White said. "Guys like myself, Sony, Kenjon — we just gotta step up and kind of fill that void."Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has been pleased with how Michel has performed after missing the entire preseason with a knee issue."He's a young player that's in his second game," McDaniels said. "So Matthias Farley Jersey , trying to bring him along, improve just like everybody else — nothing special or anything like that. We're just trying to do the things that we feel like we can do to move the ball and make first downs and score points."That is expected to be tough again this week against a Miami Dolphins defense that is allowing opponents just 89 rushing yards per game. The Dolphins are also only giving up 17.3 points per game. New England is averaging 19.7 points, tied for 25th in the NFL. The Patriots averaged 29 points per game in 2017.Still, Miami coach Adam Gase isn't taking much comfort in New England's early issues. He expected the Patriots would be a handful to prepare for even without the roster changes they've undergone over the past few weeks."It's a challenge, period, just dealing with anything that (McDaniels) has his hands on because he's going to be multiple," Gase said."Once the game starts, you might have a little bit of an idea, but he's always going to have that next step ready to go."White has confidence that he and his teammates will be able to turn things around."We have a lot to improve on, but we have all we need here," he said. "We're gonna continue to work, be on the same page, start fast and keep that energy for four quarters. That's really what we need to do."Notes: The Patriots also placed linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley on injured reserve Wednesday and signed defensive end John Simon. Bentley has 13 tackles and one interception on the season. Linebacker Kyle Van Noy said the remaining linebackers will do what's necessary to fill Bentley's void. "When put in this situation — backs against the ball — we stick together and play Patriot football. We know what we're capable of." ... Defensive end Trey Flowers, who sat out the Detroit loss with a concussion said he' hopeful he'll be able to return this week. "I expect to work and be able to play," Flowers said. "Whatever happens, happens."
