Saturday is a smart guy and well respected throughout the league.

You can practice making mistakes as well as practice correcting them. This means a coach has to decide which path a player is on whether to give him reps or not. Once a player discovers his mistakes, and how not to make them, then reps are a good idea. You don't want a player who perfectly makes mistakes.

As with all narratives, they don't have to be true, they just need someone to believe them. Some people will believe almost anything.

Is Anybody Out There That Can Take Our Offensive Line To A NEW LEVEL?
CoachLite replied to Boss7894's topic in Colts Football
The "problem" of our O-line (if there really is one) is communication and choreography. Much of that communication is non-verbal. It is not a missing piece or player. The O-line motto should be: "The difficult we can do everyday. The impossible takes a few days longer." -
AR knows that he is gifted and is prone to spasms of youthful exuberance. If he's lucky, he will temper that without losing it altogether. Favre never outgrew that "gunslinger" tendency, and he's well thought of in hindsight. Anyone who seriously complains about our first preseason game doesn't know much about the NFL. If you expected perfection from the start, you're delusional. I thought it went much better than I expected.

Jonathan Taylor - Excused Absence from Training Camp
CoachLite replied to sb41champs's topic in Colts Football
Taylor got an excused absence because he brought a note from his mom. -
To be honest, there are a lot of things we need to button up. That said, I really like where we are.

I get a kick out of fan over-reacting, but I sure don't understand it. Young team, first pre-season game in the NFL. We'll be fine.

Opinions are like as.. as... belly-buttons. Everyone has one. Even heroes are the bad guy in someone's story. Since most of us weren't there, we'll never know the true story - what really happened. What we hear is only A story.

Doyle is either trying to lower expectations, or he completely misses the point of this season - entertaining football while trying to learn how to win as a team. His view of this recent history of the Colts has tainted is vision of the future.

Jonathan Taylor comments on his contract/Request trade (Merge)

And provisions for an insurance policy for career ending injuries in the final years of his contract. -

No matter how great you are, someone younger will rise up and kick your butt. Ask me how I know. -

It's hard to tell whose 'driving this bus'. If it's his agent, he's got some really bad advice. If it is JT, he might learn a very expensive lesson. Time will tell. -

CoachLite replied to GoColts8818's topic in Colts Football
It's very hard to assess "a product's' value with money in any business. The natural tendency is to overestimate its (your) worth in a competitive marketplace, but that gets established by whatever someone is willing to pay (or overpay). Examples: the stock market and the real estate market. If you over-estimate your worth, you can lose a fortune and your reputation. If you underestimate, you leave money on the table. That's life. -

I wonder if there comes a point where teams won't consider players because of their agents? -

Being an agent requires navigating dangerous waters, and Malki Kawa is running the rapids without a helmet. The framework in which negotiations take place is more constrained than most people (including players, owners and agents) want to admit. Finding the right balance between competing interests isn't pretty - like watching sausage being made. There are tipping points, at which one side decides the alternatives are better than the other. It seems we may have arrived at that point. Sad, because I always liked Taylor. -

Don't you think it is a little late to talk some sense into Taylor? His bridges may have burned. -

CoachLite replied to GoColts8818's topic in Colts Football
Sadly, given Taylor's injury, it has probably gone too far. Taylor now changes his name to Jonathan Kaepernick Taylor and tries to find a career not in football. His actions give other teams leverage for bottom feeding unless they are desperate. -
It's really not worth it to watch the wheels fall off a football team when they have mentally given up. It's even worse when that team has a lot of underdeveloped talent. Maybe that is more a statement about coaching and team culture. Hopefully, now that will change.

I'm not concerned about the wins or losses. I just want the Colts to have fun and play entertaining football. If they can do that, they will learn how to win. If they want to do the same ol' same ol', I've got other things to do like mow the lawn and do laundry.

I hope that a mutually acceptable agreement can be reached between the Colts and Jonathan Taylor. Taylor seems like a good person with lots of talent. However, with what I've heard about some of the personalities involved, I'm not very optimistic. -
The answer to AR starting is like working a jigsaw puzzle. If placing the Richardson piece allows you to identify what the picture of the puzzle is, given the placement of the other pieces, then start him. I'd say this is when at least 3 coaches decide that he is ready, and the puzzle's picture is identified. Jim Irsay should be able go give input and opinions, but not be able to case a veto vote even though he's the owner. The damage a loose cannon can do is immeasurable.

The Andrew Luck Story..Reliving the “Golden Years”
CoachLite replied to coltsfeva's topic in Colts Football
Oh, those halcyon days of Andrew What's-His-Name? What I remember is the neck beard.
