He's not putting his hand in the dirt as a 3-4 OLB, is he?

I thought that was when he was playing 4-3 DE.

He was in 4 point rushing as OLB. Really owned most OL he went against. He ran more in 1st D than Walden did. He looked great!

[Joel Miller]

im guessing he got popped

Yeah he go popped but you could tell Landry just held back after Pagano reprimand. He prob whispered in his ear "Merry Xmas". Landry was all over the field today. Hits in middle of field and GREAT run stops in the box. Esp since Bethea was not there today.

I didn't think about this earlier. Landry got beat by Fleener up the middle for a big gain. Was he playing the position Bethea would ordinarily be playing?

Chappell had said Lefeged had took Bethea spot for practice today, but who knows on that particular play

[zhubaba]

Griff Whalen was also holding for kicks: https://twitter.com/T_Brookey/status/362293033141669888

 

Whalen played both QB and RB on offense in high school (as well as safety on defense and punter on special teams).  Having him as the holder opens up some interesting possibilities for fake FGs.  

 

 

[Hans Moleman]

It's the same ankle he hurt in college

 

Enough of these recurring ankle issues. It's time to get the fat man into some Yoga classes. 

[BrentMc11]

Since you have a keen eye & natural gift for Special Team's Brent & SW1 values your opinion tremendously, I will keep an eye out for Mr. McManus. AV can still get the job done, but we need to start grooming his successor. Cruel perhaps, but that's the cut throat, business salary cap side of the NFL. 

Age comes to play even with kickers.  That extra 'OOOOPH' to kick a 52 yard field goal is the difference between wide left or right!!!  Just ask me...getting older sucks sometimes

[BrentMc11]

So, Prime is back before he can leave the building, and McKinney's gone.

BTW, is this one of those IRs where they can bring him back after week# ?, or am I thinking of something else.

I know, I know, difficult to tell what I'm thinking sometimes.

 

Also, gotta be odd to be Prime today, huh?

Not sure.  You may be thinking PUP where they can come back immediately/as soon as ready.  I did not see if this was the 'permanent IR' or the one they can come back after so many missed games.  The rules committee on here may be able to help us buccolts.

You read my mind!  Just came to see what I missed and some of the quoted posts!  What will the new day bring?

 

 

NO INJURIES PLEASE!!!

 

 

OK.....good hits are acceptable

Well describe "Good Hits" exactly.

Cause Laron Landry if anything could be the reason someone on offense gets injured

Anything that is a good clean NFL hit.  Landry for example, does not need to 'launch' at a Reggie Wayne, DHB...TY....etc...these are teammates.  Snot bubbles are for the ENEMY

 

That said, Pags loves live hitting and I do too.....we play in pads not shorts.  If that were the case McGlynn would be an all pro

[PrincetonTiger]

Agreed

They said Laron popped DHB in yesterday's practice. Guess he was the first victim of Laron as a Colt

He's gonna be a force this year. Make WR's think twice before coming across the middle

Phillip B called it a love tap by Landry's standards...click on "Who hit who" from Colts.com via Indy Star.  Mathis was in Costanzo's grill....

Probably was a love tap. I think Landry has enough control & common sense to know that it wouldn't be smart to knock out your own teammates.

Save the brutal K.O.'s for Arian Foster, CJNoK, & MJD

I do not know Landry personally....on the common sense issue...  Sometimes hitters just cannot hold back....

Didn't I see Walden has been solid so far?  I heard the ever-present "He was setting the edge" I do believe!  

 

To have a one-two punch of Walden and Werner could end up being very effective.  I really cannot wait to see who is second behind Mathis!!  Sidbury......and the list goes on...very exciting.

I know he's a real long shot, but I'm rooting for Rayford.  I was listening to an interview he did and the kid loves football, he refuses to give up the dream.  He's 27 so this may be his last shot.

 

Plus, a 6'7" LB has to be able to bat down balls, as well as kicks.

I am with you....love seeing the guys being given a chance.  I read where Hickman is also being looked at inside LB....exciting.

 

Rayford is a kick blocking specialist....that would be great hearing our guy Bob Lamey after a Rayford block!

Interesting fact I discovered on the colts.com roster

Mr. Josh McNary weighs more than our Mr. Jerell Freeman.

So, could McNary be the ILB partner of Freeman? I think that's gonna be something I watch this pre-season

[TKnight24]

@andrewmishler: Coby Fleener talking with the media this morning. http://t.co/KgzxQJzneD

@andrewmishler: And here's recently activated Josh McNary answering a few questions. http://t.co/LZdQcjHi0O

[Dustin]

Lol apparently Allen has taken over 100 yoga classes this offseason to work on his flexibility.

[TKnight24]

@andrewmishler: OC Pep Hamilton said Bradshaw's injury status does "not necessarily" affect any decisions at RB. Likes the mental work he's doing.

@andrewmishler: Hamilton on DHB: "He's fast. He has the potential to be an explosive playmaker and he's a pretty good run after the catch guy." (1/2)

@andrewmishler: Hamilton followed on DHB: "We would like his hands to be a little more consistent, but he's working at it."

@andrewmishler: Hamilton: "I'm excited about Griff (Whalen). He's having a good camp so far. He still has a ways to go, but were excited about Griff."

@andrewmishler: Hamilton on Fleener: "He's making plays that big-time NFL players tend to make."

@andrewmishler: To piggyback that @JimIrsay tweet, Pep Hamilton said the Colts are "a physical, downhill, running football team" today. Panic button?

Bremer just confirmed McNary is working at ILB.

[TKnight24]

This is the Jim Irsay tweet that was referred to

@JimIrsay: 5 KEYS 1) Protect #12 better 2) Stop Run(In Top 10 in NFL) 3) Run the Ball(Top 10) 4) Outstanding Special Teams 5) Win 3rd Down/Defense

[TKnight24]

Bremer just confirmed McNary is working at ILB.

Good. I figured he was too big to be OLB. If Freeman plays ILB at his weight, McNary should be there too

[SteelCityColt]

Fleener looks like he's beefed up some from that pic. 

[BrentMc11]

Yep, you do that, and have an elite QB, you're going to win games.

 

I think I'm more excited about this team than any in the last 10 or so years.

Trying my best to keep the tweets coming in you guys. Just bare with me

I'm not to sure Andrew falls under the " elite" catagory yet .

Smart man!  Shows his dedication to staying healthy for this season and the long haul!

[TKnight24]

Does this mean Josh McNary hasn't been doing well?

@andrewmishler: I get that Josh McNary is a cool story and everything, but I don't really understand the obsession with him from a football standpoint.

[SteelCityColt]

I'm not to sure Andrew falls under the " elite" catagory yet .

 

This season might have to make that "yet" be reassessed, although being part of considered Elite is consistency and longevity if he has a exceptional season combined with having a halfway decent one last year (with zilch to work with in key areas) then the debate might start more earnestly.

I think Kevin Bowen's tweet yesterday made it pretty clear he impressed the coaches in one on one drills.

 

To me, how can Mishler say this after one day anyway?  28 sacks at Army was not a fluke.
