What's the over/under on how many games Bradshaw will play? 

Im thinking no less then 12 but if Ballard can stay healthy and Richardson has gotten significantly better then I think Bradshaw is only called on 6-7 times a game( average) with Ballard and Richardson getting...meh...13-14 carries a game on average a piece. Just guessing of course

@HolderStephen: I'm hearing Ahmad Bradshaw and Donald Thomas look on track to be activated, no PUP

@HolderStephen: Nothing official from the #Colts on either of those two yet.

Not yet confirmed, but definitely some good/hopeful news

:colts:

 

I edited your thread title, slightly, to make it a little easier to understand. It threw me off at first...

I'm going to hold my elation until I know they're actually out there in pads and taking contact.  Just because they're cleared and want to practice doesn't mean the coaches will let them.

 

Sometimes a player is his own worst enemy.  I know they're itching to get back out there, but they may need to be worked back in slowly.

They're not out of the woods yet but it's a great sign, especially for DT. We really had no clue about DT with many around here speculating starting the season on the PUP as best case scenario. I have to believe he would not be cleared for camp if the staff felt he was still that far off.

I'm one who fully expected DT to be on PUP to start camp. I'm pleasantly surprised by this news, even though it doesn't necessarily mean that he's back and going to be able to perform at the same level as before. Still a long way to go, not to mention possible setbacks, but it's better than what I expected. Tempered enthusiasm, at this point.

I think that if a player practices in camp, he's not eligible for PUP.  I know there's a difference between Active and Reserve PUP, and it's a little confusing.

 

Bottom line, if those guys practice tomorrow, I think we can assume they're okay in the eyes of the coaches.  I may be wrong, if someone knows better, let us know.

 

(Just added this from Wiki):  "... A player cannot be placed on the PUP list, however, once he has taken the field for a practice, even if only for a few minutes."

Football shape is what it will all be about. We will see if Donald Thomas and Ahmad Bradshaw are in the line up in pre-season week 3, that will be a good indication, IMO, more so for DT.

 

Bradshaw, he is veteran enough to skip pre-season, and get ready for the regular season. Heck, he even appeared on injury reports every week constantly missing practices only to turn around and play on game day, that is his past history.

      Bill Tobin Passed Away

      By RollerColt · Posted

      https://www.nfl.com/news/bill-tobin-longtime-nfl-executive-dies-at-age-83   He drafted some all time great players like Harrison, and of course is famous for his verbal match with Mel Kiper. RIP!

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Then begs the question. Do u want to say draft a MJH at 4 and turn around in 4 years or would u say draft Turner and pay him 30mill in 4 years? All day every day for the franchise rush end. I am not a big believer in 30 mill for a wr. Reid is a fantastic coach and look what he did with Hill.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      I literally just posted that clip, it's where the conversation about QBs started.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By richard pallo · Posted

      Funny you brought this up.  I just listened to an interview Ballard did today with Rich Eisen.  He asked him if he has given any thought on how many quarterbacks will be taken before our pick and how many does he think.  He said sure we go through those evaluations.  It helps us with for planning purposes.  He asked him how many.  4 or 5 or 6?   He laughed out loud at 6.  He said Rich if it’s 6 we will be so excited.  Let’s hope so.  He also said the draft board is not yet set.  Won’t be until the night before the draft.  He also said he has had multiple conversations with other GM’s concerning the draft.  Preparing themselves for opportunities that could take place.  And they will continue up until the draft starts.  He said trade conversations won’t really materialize until you are within three picks of any trade.  Giving you time to finalize it.  Interesting interview.  Oh he pretty much ruled out moving up for Harrison.   Going up into the top of the draft would be very costly for him he said.  Thinks he’s a great talent but he thinks he’s pretty much out of our reach.

      Poll: 2024 QB prospects

      By twfish · Posted

      I personally wouldn’t touch Williams with a 10 foot pole. He seems like a distraction and cancerous. He may be Uber talented but I don’t feel like he is a winner, and don’t feel like his heart is in it. I think he gets the bag and just sets it on cruise control. There is absolutely nothing to base this off of aside from my gut feeling.  Maye Daniels  Penix Nix McCarthy   Maye is your prototype passer and I think his deficiencies are easily fixed with good coaching.   Daniels seems the most limited to me, proficient and will be very dependent on where he goes.    Will always have a soft spot for Penix, he throws such a pretty deep ball. His 40 time should have opened some eyes.   Nix is probably the safest pick IMO. I think he’s got the tools to fit nearly any offense. Has the athleticism, arm talent and I think he’s got the between the ears to excel in most offenses.   I see the appeal with McCarthy, he was as unselfish as they come allowing the run game to shine instead of checking to pass plays. I think his ceiling is a solid game manager.
