Colts news— P Rigoberto Sanchez sustained an Achilles injury at the end of practice today. More testing tomorrow, but Achilles injuries usually mean one thing.

I believe this happened at the very end of practice when the team was running sprints. Brutal.

So it begins….

Oldcolt 08-23-2022 05:47 PM
This could be a big hit for us. Damn And WTF? I know a lot of people who run and I don't know anyone who has injured their achilles doing sprints.

Hi there, (waving my hand). Gopher hole, never saw it

nate505 08-23-2022 06:37 PM
Well fuck. That sucks. He's a great punter.

I don't know enough about punters to know if there are any decent ones out there to sign until he gets better.

Discflinger 08-23-2022 06:37 PM
Unsung hero. Impossible to replace.

apballin 08-23-2022 06:41 PM
Hopefully we’re not punting much anyway

Thorgrim 08-23-2022 06:58 PM
Well isn't that just a swift kick to the balls

Brylok 08-23-2022 07:25 PM
Bring cuzzo back from retirement!

Butter 08-23-2022 09:37 PM
Oh FFS this sucks.

Thorgrim 08-23-2022 09:47 PM
Matt Haack was cut by Buffalo today. Not good but has experience. I'd take a flyer on him until what we see is available after final cut down.

Pat comes out of retirement!?

Pat has way too much other shit going on to come back and start punting again.

Same thought. We've had a good run between Hunter Smith, McAfee, and Sanchez. Never had to think much about it.

Almost certainly going to be a segment on his show tomorrow. Likely complete with a teaser of him coming back. But he's flying way too high with his current gig.

Come on! He would only have to punt once a week, plenty of time to do his show M-F.

While this does suck for Rigo, it is really not the end of the world for the Colts.

What is the talent level between, say, the #10 punter in the league (Rigo) and, say, the #34 punter in the league (whomever we are going to pick up)?

My guess is that there are at least 35-40 guys who are of NFL quality when it comes to punters on rosters or on speed dial. Sure, will they be as good? No, but will their performance have THAT much of an impact on overall team performance? I am skeptical that we will lose much performance.

Some, but not much.

I wish Rigo a swift recovery and hope he is the Colts punter for 2023 and beyond. But if we have to lose a starter to the NFL injury gods whim, this is probably the best one to lose.

There were a few interesting prospects out of the last draft class.

"Dicker the Kicker" actually kicked FG and punted in college.

He was participating in Rams training camp but was recently cut.

He has worked out for the Packers (as PK) and the Jets (as P) the last few days....

He punts AND kicks off. He is top 5 in both. He is a weapon for field position. He holds for the kicker on FG and extra points. Ballard is going to be busy

The Colts confirm the injury this morning:

Colts DE Kwity Paye left practice today with what the team is calling a knee injury. Had it wrapped after he left 11v11 work.

Colts will be fine....wasn't Rigo a UDFA anyway?

Oldcolt 08-24-2022 02:29 PM
As Ironhorse had pointed out, and the draft confirms, punters are replaceable (hardly anyone even bothers to draft one). We need one who can kick off. The biggest difference maker with punters isn't having a booming leg, it is being able to put the ball where you want it, inside the 20 yard line and out of bounds. I don't think that is so easy to find. Hopefully I am wrong.

The Colts have signed Haack today. He will be the punter for the time being.

Colts, after losing punter Rigoberto Sanchez to a torn Achilles, worked out 7 punters today: Brock Miller, Matt Mengel, Cameron Dicker, Colby Wadman, Matt Bosher, Hunter Niswander and Matt Haack.

Colts are having a few punters stay for physicals and then will make decision

Doesn't Haack kind of suck?

We should have went with Dicker the Kicker!

Thorgrim 08-25-2022 08:00 PM
Jordan Berry released by the Vikes today. Is it too late for a punting competition?

apballin 08-25-2022 09:03 PM
I mean fuck it hopefully we’re not punting anyway

Yes. There is enough film on anyone who has played during a regular season

bigalbert 08-26-2022 09:03 AM
We’re not getting one from the Bills…..

Dicker the Kicker signed with Baltimore to provide some late competition for rookie punter Jordan Stout who was drafted in the 4th round of this past draft.

You think there enough money to lure him from Maui?

YDFL Commish 08-28-2022 05:38 PM
I thought that Haack looked damn good on Saturday.

The Bills really fucked themselves in the punting department in the space of just a few days.

There has been a lot of talk in San Diego news for a couple of months about this. Its not as if the Bills were surprised last week. If they were, they deserve all the crap that follows

After Haack's underwhelming performance in Nashville, the Colts brought in some punters for tryouts. They signed one of them to the practice squad.

Nolan Cooney is his name. Never played in a regular season NFL game. Undrafted in 2021.

So a potential punting change after the awful afternoon from Matt Haack on Sunday.

rcubed 10-26-2022 01:30 PM
Hope rigo gets back to normal next year

ChaosTheory 10-26-2022 01:52 PM
Haack wasn't underwhelming...


-punt from our 40, fair catch at TEN 28

-punt from our 49, fair catch at TEN 29

-punt from our 45, out of bounds at TEN 28

-punt from our 40, finally kicks the ball, but it's a touchback - TEN 25

-punt from our 27, our own guy has to down it at TEN 45


...he was fucking terrible.
