I really like looking at them. I would like to know if anyone else noticed how the coaches asked the guys of the OL to work together in tandem already. For example there is a picture with Cherilus and McGlynn next to each other with hands extended and performing the same motion. There is another picture of the TE in line right next to the lineman, or another with Ballard running behind his fullback (Havili?).

 

Also you may notice the initial grouping already with Costanzo, Thomas and Satele next to each other.  It looks like the Colts fans are right and at least for now the OL is Costanzo, Thomas, Satele, McGlynn, Cherilus (picture 67) Of course this may change soon with the addition of the rookies and training camp.

why would he come to workouts? anymore working out and soon he'll be all muscle with no skin or bones.

 

their doing more then just working out. their building chemistry and learning the playbook. its more about getting together as a team then just working out.

Only question is are these workouts mandatory? If not then, yeah it sucks that he isn't there for comradarie reasons. But if they're voluntary, who cares.

If he doesn't show up to OTA's and training camp, then we worry.

I'm really glad Vontae showed up in good physical condition and ready to work, I seem to remember when he was in Miami he would show up and be out of shape. Hopefully a good sign of things to come.

I always thought that was blown out of proportion. Joe Philbin runs a up tempo practice that the dolphins were not used to....or I could be wrong, maybe he was outta shape lol

Dominique Jones? I'm not really sure

Correct, that was Dominique.

 

I also wish the picutres would have captions on them as well but they do offer some great insight into a part of the offseason that no one really gets a chance to see.

 

With on the field work starting, hopefully the pictures provide a closer look at the installation process.

    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
    • I think we need to sign a vet, but Jackson isn't it. Age and his dirty playstyle are non-starters for me.   JuJu definitely flashed pretty well in the limited games we saw him in. If he's healthy, I think he'll be a solid CB for us.   He dominated every WR at the Senior Bowl, specifically in drills that heavily skew towards WRs, often using techniques he was just really learning in the pro-bowl practices (mainly press man techniques). He dominated in the MAC and dominated at Senior Bowl practices, and with his athletic traits, he projects very well to the NFL. I see him being a dominant CB in the near future. I don't necessarily want to take a CB at 15, but I wouldn't be mad if we took Mitchell.
