It's been a topic of discussion at least once here on Canal Street Chronicles. Unfortunat...

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:34:00 -0500

Saints Nation has been informed by sources that kick returner Courtney Roby has been re-signed to the Saints. Apparently the Saints were unhappy with their coverage units and kick returning (though I thought Meachem was pretty good) and they've decided to bring back Roby to bolster those areas. No word yet on who was released to make room, but it's possible the Saints expect the Smith/Grant suspensions to be enforced today to make room on the roster for 2 spots. Otherwise, we'll w...

Colts Courtney Roby Boosts Chances With Kickoff Return

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 12:28:55 -0500

Courtney Roby gave the home crowd a run for its money Thursday night at Lucas Oil Stadium. Roby returned a kickoff 103 yards for a touchdown in the Indianapolis Colts' 27-7 preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He is an Indianapolis native and a North Central High School graduate who would be thrilled beyond expression to make the team he grew up idolizing. "I really can't describe it. It would be a feeling like no other, especially me being from Indianapolis," said Roby, who averaged 37.4 yards for his nine kickoff returns during the preseason. "Hopefully I've done enough. "I really have to give credit to my blockers. My job is simple, just hit the crease and make sure they don't have to stay on their blocks long."
