It's not just you. You see, most people just go along with what everyone else is doing, that's how most minds work. Some, however, don't bend to every convention that is popular. Most people don't like the lone wolf, they wonder why such a person won't just join-up and be a herd animal.
It's peer pressure and childish behavior in what is supposed to be a professional, adult environment.
Disagree? Then tell me, anyone, in what other adult workplace does this sort of behavior follow? Imagine your first day at a big corporation, your dream job you've worked for years to land, and all the vets want to shave your damn head? So it's not OK at X Corp, but it is OK at Colts inc?
Truth is, many of these players don't want to do this but they pretend to go along with it 100% because they don't want the stigma of not being a team player, they don't want to be ostracized. There are other, more positive ways to build team cohesiveness then through juvenile pranks that wouldn't fly outside of this one particular supposed "adult" environment.
The office job is nothing like a sports job two different worlds I grew up playing every sport they all have different rookie initiations it's part of sports .

Yes will be watching line play first team see if there opening holes and pass blocking well . Of course I'll be watching all the guys on the roster bubble after 1st team goes out to see who looks impressive in game speed .
-
So how much are we expecting the 1st team to play on Thursday? I am really interested in watching Trent Richardson play.
Just a guess but about a quarter maybe more maybe less I could see the starting interior line get plenty of snaps though . Heard a Wayne will maybe held out and that a few vets on D will see just a few snaps .

Loiseau was signed before the Sheppard injury but he was carted off
Dam I guess I got my news in the wrong order oops
-
Kelvin Sheppard was kicked in shin during yesterday's practice. Will be held out today. #ColtsCamp

Good news heard he was carted off then we signed Shawn Loiseau was hoping that was not connected . Those shin injuries can hurt a lot hit the right nerve and you can't walk for a bit . -
He is the one who was attacked, took a crowbar to the forehead and then fought back putting one attacker in a coma !!
Some nonsense but it's our criminal justice system get attacked whoop butt an end up in jail or on probation . Hope he makes it really like stories like his can't help but route for the guy .
-
18 88 and 87 I hope to see retired one day all put there mark here doing amazing things on the football field
-
I'm optimistic about a 34/44 combo in the running game.
Bruise Batter Repeat would love to see our running game break the will of our opponents . The passing game is fun to watch but I love when can just run the ball wear out there defense and have them begging for it to be over .
-
hope it was just a stinger like reported but neck injuries are bad his career could be over before it really began
-
Dungy's Colts? You mean the ones who were soft in the playoffs? Who knows, maybe a little nastiness and attitude would help the Colts. It seems to work for a few other teams in the league.
I to wouldn't mind some attitude and swagger
-
Family from Florida told me the other day the centers were having trouble snapping the ball fumbling handoffs and missing the QB in shotgun . At least Satele can get the QB the ball .
-
You are Welcome
I had to Google him to find the info
He also spent time at Hampton but never played a game
thanks for the info . he looks to have really good field vision and speed could turn into a dynamic KR/ PR man . seems to have good hands but hard to tell with such a small sample size .
-
If he gets 900 yards and has a down season for him I'm still happy just hope he produces in the redzone with Tds .
-
I see 2009 and 2013 highlights was he in jail for the armed robbery not playing or what .
-
History NEVER repeats itself. Never has.
Agree to disagree but odds makers use history to predict what will happen in the future like rookie QB's winning SB's last seasons win percentages ect . Just part of the formula they use and it's worked well .
-
Can't wait love preseason watching all the guys trying to make the team get there chance to showcase what they bring to the table . I think we have more depth than in while so there should be some very good competition for roster spots .

Y'all turned on Rogers fast. Remember the Whalen that looked not so good in real game action? We already know the kid plays well in practice.I was high on Rogers till I saw him play last year dropping passes running the wrong routes rounding his cuts off just looked like he had a lot to work on figured it would be a few years until he was near his potential . If he reaches his potential he can be a star but same was said for DHB . I hope we keep all 6 if possible . Whalen looked way better than Rogers on the field last season he made a lot of plays not flashy but he moved the chains .
-
Those are THE dumbest reasons I've ever read.
Colts need a better defense, and Luck not to be Peyton-esque with his INTs.
History tends to repeat its self pretty dumb to ignore that .
-
1. Reggie
2. TY
3. Nicks
4. Moncrief
5. Rogers
6. Whalen
Hopefully it's Whalen who is cut if they keep 5 wide receivers.
Not going to be Whalen he get's first team reps when the starters get a break or a little banged up . He's had a great camp as well it'll be Rogers if we cut anyone .
-
Sounds like T Rich is getting his mojo back Bjoern is making the leap and Toler is dominate things are looking good if it carries over to the season .
-
Yeah Toler was hurt and many said it looked bad but he's back out there.
Whew I know he was a forum whipping boy but when healthy he is a very good corner back for our system . When healthy our defense was a lot better than without him . It's my belief he is a very important to our D really hope he stays healthy this season .

Landry and Davis in pads as the @Colts are about to start practice. Looks to be a pretty healthy group today for the 3rd full padded day

First time ever at training camp, and it wont be the last
. Heres my break down of the day.Da'Rick Rodgers showed only a few flashes of laziness today but 95% of the time he was running hard and blocking.
Ahmad Bradshaw looked very well and hit holes very well.
Trent Richardson, showed flashes of finding a good hole and agility but otherwise pretty much the same.
D'Qwell Jackson, looked very good today and had an interception.
Griff Whalen, very good practice dont think he had a drop.
Eric Thomas looked really really good today with some good catches.
Donte Moncreif, looked like an absolute freaking steal for us and had a bunch of very good plays.
Reggie Wayne, routes were crisp and still had good speed with good catches.
Greg Toller, looked very good MOST of the time had a huge play vs TY however got smoked by griff almost everytime.
Jack Doyle, he looked very good with alot of catches.
Overall today was a very balanced practice and listed people who stood out
Nice write up wish I had time to go to some of training camp dam work schedule maybe i'll get lucky a get a chance sunday

Don't be a drama queen get some vagasill and apply thoroughly

Interesting we'll see soon what he's got I would assume . Surprised how quick we cut Richardson must not have had what we were looking for hard to believe he already got in trouble with the coaching staff .
