Get yo stuff together Jack! LOL

 

If I were to guess, I'd bet that Friday once the pads go on, it's a different story. He'll be pancaking fools.

I know it's been mentioned but Luck does look leaner to me.

I am out of likes but great stuff!

Probably not a bad thing, but definitely notable. Could add some speed to his rollouts?

tomorrow would be the practice to see. But I'll be there for the night practice Tuesday.

I wonder if Pat partied last night

For a man 6'6" and 290lbs McGill is pretty agile. He also has a quick burst I believe is reason #1 or #2 why he is a OLB now. If he fails it wont be because he is not agile or quick enough

[krunk]

I figured Luck had a better day than yesterday

I believe you may be thinking of thinking Earl Okine

You must be talking about Okine.  McGill is still on the DL and he's 6'0"

We are about to put 30+ on the Lions.

I believe Monachino and Brad White were thinking of Chandler Jones when they moved Okine to OLB.  They have similar size and mesurables and Okine actually has a faster 3 cone time than Chandler Jones.  Okine is heavier than Jones though. It would be awesome if Okine could disrupt while remaining at 290lbs!  I've gone back and watched a couple old colts games out of boredom during the off season and I actually noticed Okine penetrating in the backfield on a good couple of occasions.  Probably where they are getting there idea from.  We'll see what happens.

Yep! Yep are my likes as of now LOL.

Luck seems to still be throwing ints.  I just don't know what to make of this guy.

Peyton threw 81 INT's in his first 4 seasons. Luck will be fine.

The biggest place I think they really got the idea from in moving Okine was when he was playing in the Arena league.  He was basically somewhat of a pass rusher on that team.  A little bit raw, but he got there his fair share of times.

We talkin' about practice, man.

 

Besides, throwing a pick on a half back screen speaks more to TY McGill making a great play rather than Luck makong a mistake.

And Luck hasn't been able to do much for quite a while. I expected this.

And based off twitter, it was a phenomenal play by Mcgill

McGill is not 6'6".....   he's short and squatty....  he's listed at 6'0"

 

6'6" and 290 is Earl Okine switching from DE to OLB this year.....

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

I think we have the best fanbase in the league. We are maybe one of the few of the NFL website's that comments over Training Camp in multiple Posts. I love to see diehards fans out in full force. I think the way the media has dissed us, it's time to shut them up. Even big Robert Mathis is pee'd off!

Personally,   I'm hoping Okine drops 15lbs and plays at 275.....   290 is WAY too much for an OLB.....

Yep! 275 would be perfect, he would be quicker at that weight too.

Alright got it. Just a simple matter of confusing names

I think he's a little on the heavy side too.  Now if he could play well at 290 more power to him I suppose.  Have to imagine that's a load of a guy to deal with coming off the edge or blitzing through a gap.

[backshoulderfade]

As I see it, Okine is potentially the Pernell McPhee type in our D. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

I think we could go 11-5 if Mathis dominates. I can see it if he stays healthy.

Mario Williams plays some OLB and he is 6'6" 292lbs. Remember its not about the weight itself, Its about what a player can do at the weight at they are at

I got to thinking about anyone else I knew of that ever played OLB at 290 and I couldn't find anyone.  Closest I came was Levon Kirkland that used to play OLB for the Steelers years ago, but he was around 275 to 280lbs max and 6'1".  Now with Okine I will say that he's much taller than Kirkland and guys like maybe Adalius Thomas.  A 6'6" frame can handle a little more weight than others.

I think NewC hit it on the head with Okine. That guy at 275 would still be super strong but quicker. He nailed that Post IMO.

Don't read too much into it. It's just camp

Good to hear from Kerr but it would have been much more informative to hear about what he has been working on if he has over the summer and how he has been working on it. He basically gave a long winded version Next Man Up...Well whats he been doing to prepare...particularly with his stamina. Good stuff Everyone though, Glad your getting the info out

[Yoshinator]

I wish i was here during the updates, but I did read every post. Sounds like Luck had a decent day besides the pick 6, but good for McGill there, big moment for him. Dorsett seemed to do well, and some nice performances by others as well, including Trent Cole, who I want to see some pass rush from. Great job everyone on the updates, and it's much appreciated! There were so many posts I thought everyone may of been freaking over an injury, that's how engaged we are about camp, lol!
