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.

      Got it. But what do you think should be done about this?

      I mean that anonymous scouts and anonymous execs work for some team in the league. Those teams have interests very separate from the interests of the reporters giving them platform...

      ope, well without any of @AKB post this thread seems silly.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By Superman · Posted

      I don't necessarily disagree. I do think there's a double standard, though. When it's a positive report about a player we like, it's fine. When it's a negative report about a player we don't like, it's validating. We eat all of that up, all through draft season, no problem. But when it's a negative report about player we like, now the practice is unfair.   It's a shrug for me all the way around, though. If it's a topic I care about, I'll dig and try to get past the surface, and make a determination on how I feel about the substance of the reports.     What do you mean?

      I mostly agree. I think there might be teams that had him highly graded, but went in a different direction. The first round was wacky. And maybe for some of those teams, it was a coin flip between AD and another player, and maybe the concerns about maturity were the deciding factor.   There are other teams -- like the Colts, IMO -- that generally don't value WR as a first round position, which is not necessarily a reflection of the individual player. Maybe the Colts would have taken one of the top three guys if they were in range, because they're that good, but generally, that's not how the Colts handle the position.    Your other thoughts are definitely valid as well. It's not like he's the perfect physical prospect, he didn't have outstanding college production, some of the advanced stuff doesn't look great, etc. I don't think he's the 11th best WR prospect in this class, there are several players I think he should have gone ahead of. But it's not like he's a top five prospect who dropped to the middle of the second round. The Colts don't see it that way either, otherwise they wouldn't have traded back to #52. Speaking of top five prospects dropping, there were some unsourced rumors about Malik Nabers' character before the draft; he still got drafted where everyone expected him to be drafted.    So yeah, I don't think these reports torpedoed AD's draft stock. Maybe the character concerns played a role, but I don't think these reports are the source of those concerns; I think it's the other way around.
