vafalconfan Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 DE Anderson agrees to join ColtsFormer first-round draft pick Jamaal Anderson has agreed to terms with the Indianapolis Colts and is expected to arrive at training camp Tuesday.Agent Joel Segal confirmed the deal Monday night, but would not disclose terms of the contract. Anderson was cut by Atlanta on Saturday in a cost-cutting move, and Segal said he is expected to report Tuesday to Indy's training camp site, Anderson University.Other teams had expressed interest in Anderson.The 6-foot-6, 289-pound defensive lineman from Arkansas, could help upgrade a run defense Indy has tried to improve for years. Anderson was the No. 8 overall pick in the 2007 draft and has proven to be a more effective run-stuffer than a pass-rusher in the NFL.And at age 25, he still has enough time to meet the lofty expectations that made him a top-10 pick.The Colts made no immediate announcement about the signing or a corresponding roster move, but the signing is out of character for the Colts. Anderson becomes only the second unrestricted free agent on this year's roster. The other is kicker Adam Vinatieri, whom Indy signed in 2006."That is our philosophy and we've gotten a lot of criticism over it," team vice chairman Bill Polian said Sunday when explaining why the Colts have primarily stayed out of the free-agent market. "But I'll stack our record up against anybody." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeytonMannings Forehead Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) Didn't realize JA was only 25. Polian is an A+ personnel man, and John Teerlinck is one of the best defensive line coaches in the league. If he has anything left in the way of becoming a double-digit sack man, they'll get it out of him.Zero risk for them, so why not?

RHEC Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 THIS^^^It's possible, look at Vick, he played outstanding and actually threw the ball and it actually landed in WR's hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falken Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 He has 105 tackles in 4 years. (60 games.....or 1.75 per game)I'm not sure that qualifies as a 'Run Stuffer'.......but it is certainly better than his .08 sacks per game. (4.5 in 60 games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Falcons Fan Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 **** yes, every single Falcons fan will be pissed if he do good at Colts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Good luck, I will be pissed if he gets 12 sacks this season.Fat chance of that. If the guy gets significant playing time, it will be at DT, not DE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon057 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I wished KC had picked him up. I had always wanted to see him at end in a 3/4 def and thought they would be a good fit, he is still real young he still has a chance. best wishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(4.5 in 60 games)I liked the guy, but he certainly knew how to lay low. Every three or four games, I'd realize, 'Oh yeah, Jamaal is still on our team.'
