Colts have a tough competition going for that 5th and 6th WR spot with Strachan having a big day.
Wouldn't be surprised if the WR competition involves Pittman. With 6 or 7 WRs doing great is going to be worth paying him or let him go and we get a draft comp pick? He might have a price tag on him.

So, did he just have deviated septum surgery, I assume?
Sounds like it. Wife had it done. She was sore for 2 weeks. Had 2 black eyes from it. Got strange looks at restaurants. I told them she should've folded my socks too.

This isn’t at you it’s for those giving you a confused face. You don’t mean it’s going to hurt the team for two week you mean it’s physically going to hurt him for two weeks. Not in development just physical pain.
Exactly.

Holder just said he had stitches in his nose yesterday so seems like this is a rest day,
I think they have to break his nose for this procedure. I might be wrong.

Anyone who’s been to camp. Does Shaq look bigger than the 218 he played at in 21 and 22.
In his presser he was sport'n some Ray Lewis guns. I would say 230 if not he dropped fat and replaced with muscle.

The only flashes I saw today were out of Kenny Moore. The rest weren’t so hot. Like I said I’m my recap, either our DBs suck bad or our WRs are studs now with a new head coach and QBs
Can you look at TEs tomorrow. My dark horse pick is Ogletree. I actually think he may have a better career than Woods.

Hey man, IDK if you are a good judge of weight (I'm pretty good at it coaching wrestling for a couple decades). Does Shaq look bigger than the 218 he was playing at?
I don't think that would fly very long as an MLB in Bradley's system, absorbing more direct contact from nasty ADZ guards and full speed RBs.
It would be pretty surprising if they didn't put some weight on him.
He does looked bulked up. I'm thinking shy of 230.

Watching Hull, Freeland and Jaylon Jones mostly. Seems like Hull is better Hines than Hines maybe. Watching Freeland to see if he gets 1st team reps to push Smith inside. As Brents doesn't get on the field it's Jones like Rush who I thought fell too much in the draft.

I hear what you are saying. He might be QB prodigy but haven’t seen evidence on film that he consistently shows that level of accumulated knowledge. He has great tools and one thing I really like about him is he seems to move around without panicking.
what I’m saying here though is that there are 4 year old genius IQ prodigies out there and I have way way way more knowledge than all of them combined with my ahem several decades of experience.
Mini camp is NOT really FB. He is never under any true pressure because he can’t be hit. If this kid is great right away that would be shocking. He’s young, inexperienced, raw and never ran a consistently good offense in college. It seems almost implausible that he would come into the league and take it by storm. . .
BUT-if they run what Hurts ran it should be a much less steep learning curve. Ideal scenario is the line plays top 3rd again and D’s are terrified of JT running through the tackle box, threatening a TD every time he finds a crack, they pee down their legs though afraid AR fakes the belly to JT, runs around the collapsed edge, and scurries in the open field, then when they overplay the AB and C gaps and the edges there is space behind the sucked up LBs and SSs, to hit high school jump type passes to the big bodied TEs over the middle and the new slot guy, Pittman in 1 on 1 50/50 balls in the intermediate areas outside the numbers and on slants and digs coming back toward the middle, AND then when they guard all that AR simply tosses the ball up and Pierce runs under it over the top of the Completely confused and highly stressed FS.
Man I get what they are trying to do . If it works out it’s going to be a fun watch. I could see this happening but I’m looking to 2nd half of year 2 as the time this likely comes together.
IF it ever comes together. the reality is that most QBs fail including those highly drafted and I personally am not at all confident in our line. Hopefully they will bounce back. That’s not implausible to me.
But to me there are many obvious reasons that makes it likely AR struggles for a while. Why slow playing his development might be prudent. In another post I mentioned do we really want AR to absorb the punishment of 150 plus totes ala Hurts in year 3 for a team likely not to be competing at a playoff level this year?
I wasn't a fan at first of 2 joint practices, but I am now. If anything for O line evaluation. Side not also what you said is the reason I think JT gets signed and maybe not Pittman. Let's say I wouldn't be surprised. Especially only having 19 mil to cap right now.

Well I see more than just accuracy that would prevent a 20 year old kid with a dozen starts in CFB from starting in the NFL right away. I'd be really surprised if we went with that baseball type closer relief guy with Minshew, but the NFL is changing.
That's pretty radical though.
I see long balls and scrambling his 1st games. Only thing I've heard is accuracy. His football IQ is good from mini camp reports.
-
Only issue I see right now that would prevent AR from starting is his accuracy. Minshew is a pro at dink and dunk. If we are leading at half with AR starting we may put Minshew in as a save situation early in the season. I'm liking the idea more and more about 2 joint practices. It'll help the coaches evaluate alot.

It is a novel idea - but - nothing more.
But - it was definitely something to think about.
I agree, with RBs being a topic lately and the NFL goes through phases. This may bring the RB back. 2 superstar RBs both with 900 yards rushing and 400 yards receiving. We have a mobile QB now and with broken down plays it puts more blockers near the line of scrimmage. Baltimore did something similar in Lamar's rookie year.
-
I was using Cook as an example, but a caliber player like him. The way rbs are getting paid now. You can almost get 2 JTs for the price of 1 Pittman. Could 2 star RBs be used on the field at the same time. Not RB1 and RB2, but 1A and 1B. Could both play RB and FB for each other. Example: screen pass to Cook with JT as lead blocker or vice versa. Could this be a viable offense? Also if 1 gets hurt we can still go traditional.
-
Warning, this post is to past the time.
What if Colts brought back the old pro form offense and had to backs in the backfield, let's say Dalvin Cook and Jonathan Taylor. Can we make an explosive offense from that?
With new coach who's offense guy can he make an offense work that premiers 2 elite backs at Sametime? With all the RB talk lately didn't know if Colts could be trendsetters and make it work. Each getting 17-22 touches whether it's a run or pass.
Thoughts?

Roger Goddell? Heard this years script was going to be suspenseful.

Really liking the throwing adjustment AR has been making. That was 1 of his knocks coming out of college. There seems to be no issue there.
