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.

      If there are no more injuries then it's probably going to be Harrison, Cross, and Blackmon.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By AKB · Posted

      Hey Smonroe good to see you again,   Buckle up for the wildest ride of the Colts' training camp this year. So get this: Anthony Richardson, our once-heralded franchise quarterback hopeful, has taken a detour from throwing touchdowns to chasing them as a defensive end. Yeah, I'm serious. It's like watching a superhero trade in his cape for a pair of cleats.   Remember when Richardson was supposed to be the next Manning or Luck? Now he's out there, trading playbook pages for defensive schemes and praying his raw athleticism can translate to sacking quarterbacks instead of being one. Life comes at you fast, folks. I'm on the sidelines, and Richardson looks like he's still wondering if someone's pranking him. Meanwhile, Laitu Latu, the defensive behemoth, is showing him the ropes with all the subtlety of a bull in a china shop. "Come on, Richardson, channel that quarterback precision into tackling!" Latu bellows, as if Richardson's secretly been holding back.   After practice, I catch Richardson in the locker room, staring at his battered playbook like it's the Rosetta Stone. The guy looks lost, but you gotta give him credit – he's trying to morph into a defensive beast under Latu's tutelage. Who knows, maybe he'll discover his inner J.J. Watt next.   Fast forward to game day, and the announcer's like, "And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: Anthony 'The Quarterback Turned Defensive Dynamo' Richardson!" The crowd's buzzing with curiosity, half-expecting him to call an audible and throw the first-ever defensive Hail Mary.   Surprisingly, Richardson doesn't completely embarrass himself. Sure, he's stumbling through reads and tackles like he's reading a foreign language, but he manages to make a few plays that even Latu would nod approvingly at. It's like watching a midlife crisis turn into a midgame surprise.   So here's to Anthony Richardson, the quarterback who found himself on the other side of the line of scrimmage. Who knows, maybe this season will be the comeback story to end all comeback stories. Or maybe we'll just get more memes than tackles. Either way, it's gonna be one heck of a ride.   Keep grinding, AKB

      I'm not certain if we are bringing in another safety. Do you understand now?????? The other guy thought we would. I said I'm not certain

      Funny. I created a thread a while back that completely discredits this notion that he’s a running back…    He’s a pocket passer. Who runs on designed calls. Check the tape.

      All funny stuff @AKB and good fodder to stir up conversations during this dead period.   AR at RB?  I don't want to be "that guy" but if he gets injured every time someone touches him, or he lands wrong... his career isn't going to last too long at RB.   Now, maybe at D End????
