Nope, he got behind the secondary today and let it go right off his hands. Would have been 6... Beautiful throw

 

@krunkI was wrong, the play I was thinking of involved Brian Tyms not McKay. My fiancee caught the aftermath with the Nikon

Denmark!  I spent a few days in Copenhagen on a trip to Europe several years back.  I enjoyed the city very much, especially the number of tall women that seemed to like to wear leather skirts/pants ;).  The street musicians, food and beer were also nice.  However, I did almost get run over by a bicyclist.  I was not used to so many bike riders, you got to pay attention when crossing the street.

Right.     He didn't read the DL breaking through.   

 

Ya think there might've been a missed block?     Ya think?

 

Ha ha ha. I meant it in jest. Ithink it may be a bit early to see if he's changed his turnover ways yet lol.

This guy is at camp, can't verify he's a good judge of talent/technique lol

At this point in his career he BETTER have better footwork than our 7th rounder!

     I may have interpreted it wrong but I read it as Thorntons feet are quicker than in years past because of his weight loss and conditioning as opposed to having quicker feet than Blythe. Maybe IndyD4U can weigh in to clarify?

I'm guessing with pads on Mewhort will be a little more physical than he was in this play?

ding ding ding....

 

It's evident (to me) that he's quicker due to the weight loss

I believe you are talking about the donkey farm on 129. If so my wife grew up 2 miles down the road from there.

Andrew pulled a Russell Wilson on that one! Nice INT by 99, he even did the ol dance

This is really an article talking about Training Camp phenoms who fold up in games, but it also names a couple guys who are making plays right now so I'm listing it for information purposes. 

 

Doyel says Chester Rogers looks really well out there:

 

Sorry, Chester Rogers, but this is Duron Carter’s fault.(Doyel saying he can't get on the hype train yet because of Duron Carter)

 

Who is Chester Rogers? He could be the revelation of the 2016 training camp. Or he could be the hoax. Who knows? In practice he looks tremendous, shifty and always open, the guy backup quarterback Scott Tolzien favors during 11-on-11 drills.

 

At Grambling? Rogers caught 155 passes in four years, returned a punt for a touchdown, ran the 40 in 4.49 seconds before the draft. He seems like a delightful young man, always smiling in Anderson and admitting he broke into happy tears when the Colts called him shortly after the 2016 NFL Draft and invited him to camp. Chester Rogers is someone to root for. But is he someone to believe in? Not yet. Not until he plays well against another NFL team.

 

That quote is ringing in my ears at Anderson as I watch Phillip Dorsett burn two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Vontae Davis for a long touchdown. And a rookie receiver from Maryland named Marcus Leak wreak havoc on the Colts’ secondary. And Chester Rogers juke promising rookie T.J. Green – before Green left practice Wednesday with a calf strain – on a punt return. For all we know, Rogers is the one who hurt Green. Didn’t break his ankles with that move, but maybe he strained Green’s calf.

Indeed, Copenhagen is a lovely place during the summer and the women certainly can enhance that experience! I used to be one of those bicyclists once I lived there, but now they are pesky to me because it can be a nightmare not to run one down when visiting the city in a car! They are all over the place on both sides of the car when you need to turn.

True.  We really don't know, and camp isn't necessarily the indicator.

 

I'm rooting for Rogers, local Huntsville kid, to make the PS.

Camp can indicate quite a bit but it cant always indicate what a player is going to do on Sundays

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

 

Yeah he does for sure and still absolutely jacked as usual.  As we've seen in sports though it could just be the angle, hah!
