Once again, it was completely irresponsible of the coaching staff to let him continue playing when it became apparent that his arm was still bugging him. The game wasn't in doubt and he wasn't helping us with two drops.

 

I agree 100% I got really upset over that.

It seems fairly obvious they (and/or Reggie?) wanted to forcibly continue his 3 catch streak.

So maybe it was Wayne himself that said he was good to go? The coaches gave him the benefit?

Didn't he come back in the game after the injury? It cant be that serious

Adrenaline does crazy things I know I finished a game with a broken wrist then another with a torn rotator cuff . Both times thought I just tweeked something then woke up the next day and new something was very wrong . I hope something like that is not the case and it's just precautionary because Reggie has been our 3rd down receiving rock .

Now, I will be the first to admit that when I heard Reggie was hurt, my heart fell to the pit of my stomach. However, this is the reason why we signed Hakeem Nicks. I know he hasn't shown that he can be a number one receiver so far this season, but I still feel better knowing that we have a guy who has been a number one receiver in the past.

Remember, this guy was arguably a top 5 receiver only two or three years ago. If we can get him playing at the level that he was playing at back then, our offense may be even more explosive. So while I will sit here and wish for Reggies full health, I feel lot better knowing hakeem Nicks is on our team.

When I heard that on chat at my flight layover, I was quite displeased.  I don't know if he aggravated any further because he went back out, but why even risk it?

All of the best players are always good to go... even when they aren't, they'll say they are.  We have physicians and trainers that are qualified to check him out and determine if he should go back out.  Every team member on the Colts have jobs they excel at, including those on the medical team. They all get paid, let them earn their checks too.

Being a good receiver three years ago means nothing. Nicks is in Indianapolis for a paycheck and to live of the success of those around him. There is absolutely no reason for him to see the field any more than Moncrief, and if the staff continue to stick with Hakeem it will be out of concern of upsetting a "big name". He has been absolutely terrible thus far.

    • Again….   McGinn didn’t do the damage to Mitchell.  The scouts did.     And there are columnists like McGinn at every major paper.  Their job is to gather info and report it, whether it’s popular or not.    Let me turn this around.  Hypothetically, a few years from now if Mitchell doesn’t pan out and he’s moody and difficult to deal with and he’s a bust, then the scouts will have been proven correct.  And people here will say McGinn’s column was spot on.   Another person who should’ve handled his business better is Mitchell himself.  He’s been living with this since he was roughly 16.   And scouts said he interviewed badly with them.   Even Mitchell admits it.     I don’t think this is as black and white as it seems to you.      To be clear…. I love Mitchell.  Glad we drafted him.  I’ve said several times that Ballard defending him draft night was smart and scored points with the kid.  Now he comes out and says that exact thing.  He appreciates that Ballard defended him so hard and he wants to pay the Colts and Ballard back by being the best player he can be.   
    • I’d say those teams that lost had worse defenses compared to the winners. That’s not to say that their defenses were bad, they just weren’t as clutch in the big moment.    To me, defense matters a whole lot when you need a stop or a momentum change.    Look at all of the star studded power offense teams of the last decade who were incapable of winning it all. 
    • Oops that’s my mistake. Yeah I completely missed that. My apologies.   But yeah he’s one I would keep an eye on for us next year. Him and Will Johnson. It’s a little early to be talking about what the Colts would do in the draft, but I would put money on this being the year Ballard takes a DB high. I could also see him go D-Line again. I love college football and watch as much of it as I can, but I’ll be paying attention to a lot of the guys you listed at those positions. Last season I watched a lot of the teams that had the elite receivers (Washington, Texas, LSU, FSU, etc…).   I’m also getting ready to fire my draft podcasts I listen to back up and look at summer scouting. I’ll come back for some discussions as I get info as I always enjoy talking prospects with you.
    • The issue some may have is the kind of journalism where Bob McGinn created an article that affected a young man's career based solely upon anonymous sources.   I'm confident you will reply back referring to your experience as a journalist with some version of 'without anonymous sources, there would be no journalism'. I value reading your insight about how sports are covered and I don't disagree that anonymous sources can be important. Its fair for anonymous sources to give background about things they are not comfortable saying out loud.   However, I'll add that perhaps its also fair for Bob McGinn to use his anonymous sources to help him find the story and craft the story, but if nobody will put their name on it then Bob McGinn needs to dig deeper before he launches infotainment into the world. He can't take back the damage he did to AD Mitchell.    
    • So damn classy as always. I still rewatch their pandemic golf game from 2020. They just have awesome chemistry together. Hopefully they can get Tom on the Manningcast again for more hilarity.
