Nicks looks great out there.

He's got a fire under him playing his old team.

Which is why he picked up the taunting foul,

I just wish he'd run forward after catch.  He lost about 5 yards tonight trying to get something extra.  Didn't cost us any 1st downs, but...

He did look good tonight, though.

I'm very excited about his addition, and his play is fiery and inspired. However, he seems a bit volatile.  First two catches, he works his way backward, losing yards from the spot of the catch, carrying the ball on one play with terrible security and a ridiculous taunting penalty that wiped a great gain. He needs to clean it up quite a bit if he's gonna fit in, long term.

Wayne, Hilton, and Nicks.

 

By far the best 3 WR set in the NFL.

 

This is going to be a great season.

Year 3 is gonna be great. They no longer look like a team trying to find an identity. These dudes appear to know exactly who they are and what they want.

I think they'll compete with the Bears for that title. Marshall and Jeffery on the outside, with Santanio Holmes in the slot, that could be a really dangerous trio.

As far as the Colts, I love the overall depth of the receiving corps. Moncrief, Whalen, Rogers and Richardson (hopefully they stash him on PS) provide amazing depth at a young age and each has a good amount of potential.

Yup. Nicks Is gonna be better than he ever was here in Indy. He just has to stop running with the ball in his palm. He's gonna fumble sooner or later.

 

I noticed Nicks carrying the ball like a loaf of bread tonight and I know he did it quite a bit with the Giants as well so out of curiosity I looked up how many times he's fumbled. 3 times in his career, 2 times in his rookie season (2009) and 1 in his 2nd season (2010), 0 lost.

 

Anyway, I'm really happy Nicks is a Colt.

maybe it's because of his gigantic hands that he can hold that ball is if it's a baseball.

Dude can palm two basketballs with one hand. That's probably why.

“Coach Pagano definitely talked to me,” Nicks said of the 15-yard penalty. “He knew I knew better. He talked to me. . . . I got caught up in the moment.”

Yeah, they showed them on the sideline together. Just glad he got it out of his system last night so we don't have to worry about seeing it in the regular season.

there is no competition with bears they still have to develop chemistry while luck already seems to have it with our big three.

    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
