Hart, Terrance Taylor cut by Colts
I didn't see this posted anywhere with all the excitement surrounding today's win, but Mike Hart and Terrance Taylor were cut today.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts waived rookie defensive tackle Terrance Taylor and running back Mike Hart on Saturday.
Taylor was a fourth-round pick in April. Hart, Michigan's career rushing leader, was a sixth-round pick in 2008.

I'm surprised about TT, Hart maybe not as much.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:29 PM ^
4th round pics usually make the team
September 5th, 2009 at 9:46 PM ^
This is bad news. Hope they can catch on somewhere else.
September 5th, 2009 at 9:47 PM ^
with the Lions. They could sure use some meat up front.
Too bad about Mike. I think the writing was on the wall when they drafted Brown. Hopefully someone else picks him up. Damn injuries.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:13 PM ^
The Lions just cut a DT too. Maybe they'll give TT a look.
September 5th, 2009 at 9:47 PM ^
i think hart will find a job somewhere. not sure about TT.
September 5th, 2009 at 9:48 PM ^
Taylor will get signed somewhere. Hart it will be tougher for. There is not much of a market in the NFL for running backs his size unless they come equipped with a jet pack.
September 5th, 2009 at 9:54 PM ^
We always knew his size would be a hindrance; tough break. I hope someone takes a chance somewhere and really sees what he can do. Let's face it - there have been a lot worse cases out there where NFL teams have "taken a chance..." much to everyone else's chagrin. At least Hart's a solid guy and a good teammate.

Hart's career is probably over. Think he comes back as a GA?
September 5th, 2009 at 10:04 PM ^
I'd love to see him be involved with Michigan football in the future. He is the true definition of a Michigan man.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:16 PM ^
I've believed that Hart always wanted to end up being a college coach, so I am sure he would find a way to make that happen. Or, failing that, become an associate Athletic Director in the mold of Jamie Morris, whose job title I believe is "Associate Athletic Director in charge of being Jamie Morris."

TT to the Pats is my guess...hes a good fit for their D and Bellichek would give him the discipline and structure that he needs...
September 5th, 2009 at 10:18 PM ^
The Colts are a good team - being cut as a rookie/2nd year player just means he can't crack the 2-deep of a top-10 team. I still think TT will be in the NFL by the end of year; Hart may have a harder time, though he could still have a chance on a team in need of a 3rd-down back. Still, wish them both the best.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:18 PM ^
Hart has already announced he is joining Big Brothers Big Sisters of America
September 5th, 2009 at 10:24 PM ^
Is he going to set up residence in East Lansing? God knows those kids need some good guidance.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:30 PM ^
So are you saying that he may end up being someone's big sister
September 6th, 2009 at 12:47 AM ^
come on you guys you're killing me on my MGOpoints, it was a joke, you know, HA HA HA.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:30 PM ^
I wouldnt be surprised to see Mike Hart catch on with a CFL team. His skills seem to be perfect for that game.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:36 PM ^
You are a Canuck aren't you? Hart is from Upstate NY, he may be a good fit for the CFL, I think you are on to something.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:33 PM ^
Mike Hart will get a starting gig in the UFL.
It'd forsure give me a reason to watch then. I would love it.
Or maybe he'll tag along in Miami with Henne and Long.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:36 PM ^
I have always liked Hart for the way that he played. He always played for the team and nothing but the team. He ran his mouth a little more than I would have preffered but whatever. I just really think that there are not a lot of places in the NFL for a small running back that runs a 4.7 40.
September 5th, 2009 at 10:46 PM ^
Despite size and speed the guy can still run. It was obvious he'd never be a stud but there's gotta be a lot of crummy 3rd string backs in the NFL he could overtake
September 5th, 2009 at 10:51 PM ^
From last year's D-Line, TT, Will Johnson and Tim Jamison all got cut. Making the NFL is tough, but it does suggest that maybe we weren't as loaded on the DL as we thought.
September 5th, 2009 at 11:07 PM ^
Carson Butler, Lions
Jamar Adams, Seahawks
Adrian Arrington, Saints
Tim Jamison and Adam Stenavich, Texans
Also Pats put Crable on injured reserve

he should get picked up by someone.
September 6th, 2009 at 12:23 AM ^
He should go to the Giants along with every other unexperienced wr under 25.
made a good team with manningham back in the day though.
September 6th, 2009 at 12:28 AM ^
Jim Schwartz is about to feel the iron.
September 6th, 2009 at 10:39 AM ^
I've said all along that Hart wouldn't be a quality NFL running back. He's just not fast enough. He might catch on somewhere as a backup or practice squad player, but we shouldn't expect much more than that.
I do think Taylor will latch on somewhere. There aren't many teams who need undersized nose tackles, though. He'll have to find a team that doesn't mind undersized defensive linemen or sign somewhere that suffers from injuries.

they always have a team ..Michigan
