Hakeem Nicks goes down in practice, Moncrief shines in his spot

[TKnight24]

Looks like the young WR is showing off in practice so far

@HolderStephen: I should've cleared up something earlier: Moncrief was getting snaps with starters cuz Hakeem Nicks got banged up. He's ok far as I know

@HolderStephen: But I'm telling you... Moncrief was on fire. I'm very intrigued.

@HolderStephen: Out here at practice, Donte Moncrief is having quite a day. Nice catch vs double coverage in red zone

@HolderStephen: Earlier he beat his man deep down the sideline and caught a strike from Luck

[John Waylon]

Verrrrrrry interesting.

[trueblueblood]

I'm gonna be a Debbie downer and say: Isn't 3 quarters of our starting secondary out? Not taking anything away from him though.

Howell

Landry

Vontae

All 3 out

That means he was cooking against Toler & Butler (our 2nd best CB) so you're not taking anything from him at all you're actually complimenting him

[BlueCollarColts]

Very impressive...

[Franklin County]

Sounds like the kid came to play ball.

[B~Town]

I trust Grigs and company with eyes for talent especially when it comes to WR's so I expect bug things from Moncrief .

Thanks for the info, though the first half of your title made my heart drop.

"Expecting bug things from him"?

He has 4 legs??!!!!!!

[CR91]

Keep ballin young fella

Oh, butler. What a find. He's one of my favorite players. I think I remember toler giving moncrief some praise already as well. He's got the talent and all the physical tools, he could be very good

[B~Town]

"Expecting bug things from him"?

nice catch should have proof read but bug suppose to be big

[MTC]

Reminder: Everyone looks good in minicamp. 

[csmopar]

So what's the word on Nicks

[lollygagger8]

Exciting, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt since he's probably beating Toler and who knows who else. 

 

 

Regardless, I love Moncrief but I hope Nicks is ok!! 

[Superman]

Yup, even DHB.

I wouldn't think anything of it. With the new CBA, any time someone gets hurt in practice there is a potential witch hunt. It was prolly something minor and they just sat him down for the rest of the day just to keep from stepping into the pile of crap.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Feed himmmmmm!!

[Rhane19]

"Expecting bug things from him"?

Would explain why he is so fast

Yeah, after getting the info it does sound minor but the phrasing "Hakeem Nicks goes down" sounds bad before you get more details.

[Stephen]

It sure does lol guess moncrief will be wr number 4

[jvan1973]

It sure does lol guess moncrief will be wr number 4

i could have told you that as soon as he was selected in the third round

[TKnight24]

Regardless, I love Moncrief but I hope Nicks is ok!!

@HolderStephen: Moncrief is getting some first team snaps too. Not indicative of anything, but a good chance to work with Luck and starters. #Colts

I would imagine 1st team O vs D so Butler & Toler who he's going against since Davis is out due to injury

[Stephen]

I haven't heard anything from rogers. I guess moncrief passed him already on the depth chart.

[akcolt]

Man we need to change the title of that post I was like not already. Good to hear our 6'2" 221lb  4.3 guy can catch the ball also thankful Nicks is not really down

[akcolt]

Depth chart Roger's still needs to make the roster.

He had a highlight that was listed in the minicamp reports from yesterday

[TKnight24]

1st rule on the forum when creating a Topic:

Make a title that grabs attention!

[Malakai432]

Nah, proofreading is way overrated IMO. 

[Stoney]

Yup, even DHB.

I believe this this the greatest post I've ever seen in my entire life..Thank u for the 5 minute laugh.

You laughed for 5mins straight & didn't go to the ER? You got some mighty strong lungs my friend

[LockeDown]

Btw bugs have 6 legs not 4

[Johnny Bui]

I have high hopes for Moncrief. I really believe he can be a starter.  He has close measurables to Julio Jones.  

[Gavin]

Meh...OTA's, Good to know he is catching balls but.....Meh to be honest if he wasn't beating our Secondary then that would be the real story even if he is a rookie

[Valpo2004]

So holding Nicks out is precautionary?  

 

Good to hear Moncrief is catching the ball in practice.  

 

We have so much depth at WR it's silly.  

[BrentMc11]

I believe this this the greatest post I've ever seen in my entire life..Thank u for the 5 minute laugh.

If it lasts for 4 hours...you need to see a doctor immediately   

[BrentMc11]

Hmmmm...centipedes and millipedes?  Oh I guess technically they are insects.....carry on

[ProblChld32]

Good to see that the kid is taking full advantage of first team reps .

[LockeDown]

Hmmmm...centipedes and millipedes? Oh I guess technically they are insects.....carry on [/quote

I didnt go into detail but yes insects have 6 legs but there are lots of bugs that are not insects and will have more than 6 but none have 4 that i can think of. I was an Entomology major a long time ago.

[Coffeedrinker]

Maybe he meant... 4 MORE legs.
