Some players fared better than others Womens Darius Leonard Jersey , but whose road got the toughest following this offseason?"The Colts have added several pieces to their roster this offseason, both through the draft and in free agency. Since their roster from last season is set to return, I wanted to take a look at which players are most likely to be affected by the new faces in the organization. Some may lose playing time, others their jobs. One way or another, this offseason has pushed these guys to the roster bubble.Chester RogersPhoto by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesRogers is a success story by most accounts. Signed as an UDFA in 2016, he has managed to make himself a factor on the offense and on special teams, as well. This offseason was not a good one for him. The Colts brought in Devin Funchess to play the big slot role and complement T.Y. Hilton, but they didn’t stop there. They drafted Parris Campbell in the second round, a player who almost exactly fits the role that Rogers has filled, except with far greater natural ability. This isn’t even factoring in the return from injury of Deon Cain or the signing of UDFA Penny Hart, a player many thought would be drafted, and who has the skills to be a quick player out of the slot and one who can also be an asset in the return game. I have been a bit up and down on Rogers in his time with the Colts. There are times when he is a pure fighter and I feel like he has earned his spot. Other times he seems out of his depth and unless other receivers are drawing heavy coverage, he is ineffective. His finish to 2018 was a strong one, and he will need to hit the ground running if he wants to stay a significant part of this offense, because the competition has been cranked up. Nyheim HinesPhoto by Michael Hickey/Getty ImagesFirst, don’t misunderstand Hines’ place on this list. I don’t think he is in any danger of losing a roster spot. Hines proved himself to be a valuable piece in Frank Reich’s offense in 2018, and I think he will continue to be utilized inside of it. However, like with Rogers Youth Matthias Farley Jersey , the addition of Parris Campbell creates some disruption for Hines in terms of the kinds of situations he may be used in. Frank Reich is very clever, and I’m sure he’ll get both these speedy guys involved in the offensive game plan, but where Hines was used heavily in the passing game and occasionally as a gadget player last year, he may see that role diminished by the involvement of Campbell, whom Frank Reich seems really enamored with. This doesn’t mean Hines can’t be a great impact player for the offense, but it does mean he probably needs to get solid production when he gets the opportunity to carry the ball.Nate HairstonPhoto by Otto Greule Jr/Getty ImagesNate Hairston is a player who had a very solid rookie season, but followed it up with a bit of a head scratcher. The emergence of Kenny Moore relegated Hairston to a backup, and when the starting group of Moore, Quincy Wilson, and Pierre Desir were healthy, he was on the sideline. The addition of Rock Ya-Sin and Marvell Tell are both bad news for Hairston, who was already struggling to see the field. In his rookie season he played his best ball at the nickel spot, and that’s where Tell will look to make a name for himself. Ya-Sin will likely be looking to displace a starter, and if he can, this will only further displace Hairston. This is a big offseason for Hairston, and he’ll need to come out hot at training camp and in the preseason if he wants to see the field in 2019.Zaire Franklin and Skai MoorePhoto by Otto Greule Jr/Getty ImagesThese two aren’t exactly shocking, as it is never exactly a surprise when a 7th round pick and an UDFA find themselves on the roster bubble. However, the injection of new talent at the linebacker position in this draft should be troubling to both these players. For Franklin Matthias Farley Jersey Stitched , the question is not about ability. He is an athletic player who has exactly the leadership and talent traits that the Colts look for. For whatever reason, 2018 saw him lose out on playing time, as the season went on, to Matthew Adams. The SAM linebacker position is one that requires versatility, because it is one that is only used about 30% of the time. That means special teams and pass rush ability are critical to the role. Skai Moore was the guy tasked with backing up Darius Leonard. While he did solid work when called upon, he lacks the speed and size that rookie Bobby Okereke will bring to the table. His instincts are solid, and he was a factor in special teams, but if he wants to see the field this year (or a roster spot at all), he’ll need to make a name for himself there.Eric EbronPhoto by Tim Warner/Getty ImagesThis is a weird one, I know. Ebron is in no danger of losing his spot. He was a deadly red zone weapon last season, and that is likely to continue. However, much of his red zone production came because there were no other viable red zone targets. T.Y. Hilton was playing with one leg (very well, but still), and Jack Doyle was on the sideline. Given the Colts’ other receiving weapons (or lack thereof), that left little choice but to find ways to get the ball into the hands of Ebron. The return of Jack Doyle to full health is likely to cut significantly into the opportunities Ebron gets this season. Add to that the addition of several viable receivers and a healthy T.Y. Hilton, and you get a greatly reduced role in the offense for Eric Ebron. None of this is bad for the Colts. In fact, reducing Ebron’s role makes him even harder to plan for on defense.I anticipate that while his production overall goes down, his efficiency may go up. However Youth Nate Hairston Jersey , when you’re entering a contract year, adding more mouths to feed is likely to put a dent in your asking price at the end of the season. What are your thoughts? Who do you think was most impacted by the Colts’ offseason?Stanley Jean-Baptiste was Ravens’ goon as joint practice with Colts sparked multiple fights The Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens conducted their second joint practice Saturday in Westfield in preparation for their preseason matchup Monday night. Naturally, we expected some shoving matches, or possibly even some punches to be thrown per the norm when it comes to these training camp exercises.Every single year it happens. It’s not really that big of a deal. One guy doesn’t like getting beat in a 1-on-1 rep, or another doesn’t appreciate what he deems to be a cheapshot in one form or another, and then the fists start flying. Again, we knew this was eventually going to become a thing. On the other hand, I wonder how typical it is for one player to be one team’s goon when things do get heated. Saturday during special team’s and even some head-to-head drills, Stanley Jean-Baptiste appeared to be THAT GUY for the Ravens.Little dust-ups had been occurring over the past two days of practices between the two squads, but nothing serious. Sometimes these situations fester after someone can’t handle their feelings getting hurt in front of their teammates. Jean-Baptiste, though, seemingly had no other purpose for being on the field Saturday than to initiate these altercations, or to act as the camp body tasked with being the enforcer for those who actually can stick to a roster in the NFL.I’ve helped you out a bit in case you didn’t recognize SJ-B right away. As you can see, the punt is away and then the fight begins. From all accounts, I believe this is between Antonio Morrison and Albert McClellan with the latter losing his helmet, mounting (maybe it is MMA Mr. Frank Reich..) and throwing a pretty powerful punch that appears to hit its mark.While it clearly appears to be McClellan, I can’t confirm the Colts’ player getting punched as his number was never visible on the video. Anyhow...Once McClellan throws the punch, several players from both teams react by filtering towards the two Nate Hairston Jersey Stitched , and for the most part attempt to pull the two apart. Multiple little side skurmishes are created in the process, but that’s pretty much par for the coarse anytime that scenario comes about.But, not for Jean-Baptiste.You can clearly see that SJ-B had only one reason to move towards the brawl — to throw as many punches as he could towards anyone with a Colts’ jersey. He had no intentions of breaking it up, just to fall in line with the goon mentality. Typically, the term is used in hockey, and there was actually a pretty average movie made about these type players. At any rate, this sort of falls in line with SJ-B’s career path. Here’s a visual via pro football reference highlighting his career stats.Stanley Jean-Baptiste career stats via pro football referencePretty impressive, I know.But, it didn’t even stop there for him. I mentioned that his sole purpose appeared to be to initiate fights today, right?A bit later in the practice SJ-B and rookie Daurice Fountain got into it as well. Why does this seem to be a pattern for SJ-B? Apparently he didn’t throw enough punches in the melee a little earlier, so, he turned a simple shoving match — which is as common in practice between teammates as it is in an actual game or anything else — into another 180-man scrum. Maybe this is the real problem with these joint practices. Jean-Baptiste is just athletic enough to get into camp with teams, but not actually good enough to contribute during the season. Thus, he’s got nothing to lose.This is similar to why some teams attempt to control as much about these joint practices as possible. They don’t want their starters to go up against the 90th man on the other team’s roster in head-to-head drills in order to avoid injury, and senseless fights that get way too out of hand.The occasional fight in these practices isn’t the problem, it’s the scrubs on the rosters that have nothing better to do than to throw more gasoline on the fire.
