    Ridgeway looked good at 3 tech. 

    He was unstoppable for awhile. He may be bigger, but he sure looked quick. Made some great finesse moves to get inside and around blockers

    Holy Moly, 

     

    That clip at :13 (I believe it's Hilton) his feet are so fast it looks like the video is buffering! 

    Imagine defending him :o

    I would complain that the team had poor Coaching and poor Talent, but I never said anything about being too soft. Yes, I'm complaining about the physicality. It may not increase the chances of a season ending injury as those are random, but I would wager against you that it increases the chance of short term injuries by a lot, and those take away practice and game time when the players have to recover from them. 

     

    I get what Coach Reich is doing, but it's a lot less beneficial to the team than people think on here.

    The thing is, it’s not going to be physical every practice year-round. This is mainly to teach the players to be physical when the pads are on. They won’t be on more than 14 times throughout the 17 regular season weeks. It’s gonna be fine. Just let it play out, and if injuries start ramping up and becoming more serious, then I’m sure Reich will scale it back, but I think since preseason week 1 is only a few days away, thats going to happen anyway.

    2) In this particular case, I tend to feel like it may be a good thing that we don't have any players left from those 2 drafts, because only a handful of them were actually decent, & our salary cap situation would likely be much more complicated if a bunch of those guys had earned 2nd contracts.

    Something I’d like to see is how many players OVERALL from the last few years of drafts are still in the NFL and in what role? We can’t be the only team to suffer such poor luck, and if we are, then it shows how bad our front office and coaching staff actually was

    I dont think that was intentional. He just failed to mention it was Luck's day off

    I feel like with reporters, they know wording is everything. I don’t think he failed to mention it, he intentionally left it out to raise that cloud of doubt among people that aren’t colts fans

    It’s like they feed off the negative stories. How do you work for the league but don’t know Luck’s schedule when it’s available everywhere. He could’ve even called Irsay or someone before showing to confirm if he was throwing or not 

     

    This “Luck is done” narrative has to stop 

    I also like he decides to go on the one day he isn’t throwing. And it’s not like he has a schedule and it was the only day he could go. He’s a reporter and from what I understand, they can come and go as they please around the league to come up with a story. He threw the two days prior if I’m not mistaken, and then there’s the practices last week. You’re right in the fact he is trying to stir up the ‘he’s done’ talks again.

    I'm sure having a healthy Hooker and Geathers in there would help the defense out tremendously.

    I'm still bummed we let Melvin walk.

    Melvin wanted over 12m from us but took 7m from another team. I still don’t understand that unless he really didn’t like it here.

    I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he's our day one starter.  I guess he's the most complete back on our roster.  He can do it all.  Ballard loves him and compares him to Forte.  Another reporter compared him to Arian Foster.  Pretty lofty comparable's.  

    Mack is very fast and powerful too. I think he’s gonna start mainly bc he is a 2nd year player. The only way Wilkins starts is if the role fits him and he performs really well

    From just the running back standpoint I think I actually like Wilkins a little bit more than Hines. I like Hines a lot, love his versatility, but Wilkins just seems to be really agile and hits/finds the hole well.

    The thing I like the most is that both can be on the field at the same time. Hines in a WR slot position and Wilkins at RB. Hines versatility and catching ability is what has me so excited about him

    I don't always agree with him, but I liked Gregg Doyel's take on our off-season.

     

    We have improved in the four most important positions of any football team:

    Quarterback

    Head Coach

    Offensive Coordinator

    Defensive Coordinator

     

    Not only do we have a pool of young, talented players, hopefully the new coaching group can coach them up to being even better.

    Not to mention the various additions elsewhere. OL WR LB RB and DL are all getting at least one new player that looks good

    Yeah, it's likely that his shoulder is structurally sound, but throwing is a different movement, and throwing from different arm angles is going to be taxing as well. Soreness is going to be part of the process. 

    Not to mention it’s kind of like going from lifting heavy weights to lifting lighter weights for reps. He worked the strength up on his shoulder TO throw, but now he has to strengthen the actual throwing muscles. I expected something like this to come up, so I’m not worried. Just cautious

    Our schedule really doesn't help.  It seems like the toughest one we've had in years.  I love the optimism, but every year fans think they have the best roster in the league, and that their team made all the right moves.  I love the new OL, and the possibility of a healthy Luck, but I think we need to concentrate on beating the Jags. 

    I thought it was rated the 6th easiest schedule?
