this was what I was afraid of.  "mild mcl sprain"  translation.... we will be cringing until the results of the MRI.  it's always a mild sprain to keep speculators at bay.  sit out next game and be ready for game 1, really, you would risk that?  a mild sprain if that's what if even turns out to be isn't just going to heal right up, things inside there were stretched even with a mild mcl sprain. :facepalm:

You should refrain from talking about injuries

Have to admit that any injury ending in CL scares me a lot. Won't start this week. I'll predict he puts in his first appearance in the Miami game. No need to risk him too much against a Raiders D line that couldn't fight it way out of a wet paper bag.

Because the Raiders have one heck of a pass rush? I don't doubt reitz could do ok in an emergency lt spot against some teams but let's be real here he's not going to hold on the rest of the game if castonozo got hurt early in a regular season game. Would have to adjust protection and which could effect multiple parts of the offense.

I think Reitz would do fine as a starter too.

 

His technique was real good, allowing Andrew to step in several times by pushing the pass rusher away from Andrew if the rusher went outside or locking him if the pass rusher tried to go inside.

 

If Castanzo comes back, it better be in game 1. Otherwise, Cameron Wake in game 2 and Aldon Smith in game 3 would not be a way to knock rust off, IMO. :)

 

I have seen Castanzo enough to know that the lighter and quicker pass rushers like a Cameron Wake or Aldon Smith will give him issues. The first time I saw Castanzo in the Senior Bowl, Brooks Reed, the 2nd round pick of the Texans got him beat badly on an inside move that started with a quick fake outside. The quick fake outside but hard inside move from lighter and quicker OLBs is what I want to see Castanzo improve against.

Has Ijalana played any at LT this preseason?  Wonder why the Colts haven't tried him at RG?

 

I just watched the second and third quarter again and I can tell u we have no issues at RG if Thornton stay´s healty - he´ll be the starter rather sooner than later. Love this kid.

      Harrison Played Mostly At Safety In Mini Camp.

      How about getting a proven commodity in the FA market? I know that assumes the player wants to be here, but money talks and the Colts have some. This D needs a solid center fielder. Simmons fits that role perfectly. If he’s gettable, here’s to Ballard pulling the trigger, even if it’s a slight overpay. The team CANNOT leave this crucial position to players who have consistently underperformed in the past (Cross and Thomas).

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      All - this is the real question.   What do the 32 GMs in the league know that the rest of us (we're on the outside looking in) don't know?   Answer that question and you'll have what you need to analyze the choices made by the leadership of your favorite team.

      We have the weak secondary where a player in FA can be signed for a year and get a starting job. We also have the money to afford any of them. Not too many other teams have that combination of both factors right now. Also, the draft recently happened and I'm guessing a lot of these teams want to try out their early round picks in the secondary right now. We didn't draft anyone in the secondary until the 5th round. We are somewhat desperate (not to mention Daniel Scott is out for the year again). Other teams are not at the moment.

      Why do you think A and B are the only options?    What’s the reason for Ballard to be cheap?   What incentive would there be?    Posters like Superman and w87r have crunched the numbers.  The Colts are among the league leaders in spending.     Ballard’s is going into his 8th year.  He’s been competitive in 6 of the 8 seasons and I personally think season 1 was a tank.    Also…. Ballard always says the team is always looking to improve.  It’s now mid-June, so the Colts have 5 more weeks to sign someone before camp starts.  There are a number of FA safeties available.  Why aren’t the other 31 teams signing these players either.  They’re certainly good enough.  But it’s Ballard who is wrong or incompetent or cheap or something and not anyone else.

      This is a great story on Mitchell. The part in here where Mitchell explains how much he appreciates Ballard going to bat for him was awesome.
