Pagano won't give it up, but the Colts are in talks with another team re: joint tr camp practices.

Logical guess would be one of their preseason opponents.

Pagano wouldn't say who, but said Colts are talking to a team about scrimmaging each other at training camp ... "Proponent of it"

It's usually inter-conference (AFC team + NFC team) when they do these things, right? Or is that just a coincidence?

[MTC]

The Bears are my guess.

[21isSuperman]

If I understand it correctly, it's usually a preseason opponent.  That's what I've seen on Hard Knocks, anyway.

[pgt_rob]

Bengals probably.

[ColtsLegacy]

Bengals.

Would this be open to media so we can get updates?

[TKnight24]

Bengals.

Would this be open to media so we can get updates?

It would be open to media, boring but open

We've had the Bengals number past 2 times we've played. I think it'd be a whooping we put on them even if it's a scrimmage

[throwing BBZ]

Can`t wait! Weeee!

[Superman]

I hope this gets put together. It's a great idea, and I think we should do it every year.

[12isthenew18]

Please let it be the eagles

[Larry Horseman]

I bet it is one of the NFC teams on the preseason schedule instead of the Bengals. I've always wanted the Colts to do this...makes a lot of sense. 

[Gavin]

Im thinking Bears

[Chucklez]

Gotta be the bears or bengals right? Geographically it makes the most sense.

[Cynjin]

They did this with the Browns back in the Manning, Harrison, Edge era. The joint practice was held in Columbus, OH.

[Smonroe]

Probably not the Texans, but that would be the best since it would be on Hard Knocks.

[LockeDown]

I wish it were the Steelers.  That would get the blood pumping.

[MrNLM]

I'll guess its with the Lions just because of the Caldwell connection.

 

If not them then I hope it is the Bears.

[peytonmanning18]

It's either St. Louis or Chicago

[ReMeDy]

It's the Patriots, and for some reason Pat McAfee is spiking their gatorade...

They're going to tell Brady and co. to run on us 1,000 times until we figure it out.

[Stephen]

Maybe the chargers

Pats are doing joint practices with the Saints.  The Saints were going to do them with Houston until Hard Knocks.

[GoColts8818]

Bears, Lions, Rams, and Bengals make the most sense.

[PeterBowman]

Baltimore....cause why not

[chad72]

Broncos, so that they can get in Peyton's head more .

[HOZER]

I would guess Bengals, since they are the closest.

[JColts72]

Wonder if Grigs plans on calling Bill's Pats to set this one up?

[New Zealands #1 Colts Fan]

If it was the bengals, i hope we wouldnt have to put up with phil simms reminding us every 10 seconds that AJ Green isnt playing

[indyagent17]

Bengals or Rams. (I believe we had a scrimmage against St Louis a few years ago)

[ThatOneColtFan]

Patriots for the lulz

[GoColts8818]

Pagano just said in his presser they have a deal with the Bears to do it at the Colts complex.

[mattceinicram]

I like the idea of practicing with the Bears. Practice going against another team, one we won't see in the regular season. It can only help both teams.

[TKnight24]

Colts will have joint practice with the Bears here in Indy at the facility

Pagano: Reached a deal with the Bears to have joint practices. Couple of days. Will be held at West 56th Street.

Chuck Pagano says that the @Colts will have joint practices with the Bears at the Colts complex leading into their preseason matchup on 8/22

[TKnight24]

The practices between the @Colts and Bears will take place on that Wednesday (8/19) and Thursday (8/20) before Saturday's game at Lucas Oil.

Pagano: Working with Bears will be a great situation.

I can hear Pagano saying "Forte is like a bowling ball of butcher knives coming at you", lol

[TKnight24]

For logistic reasons in accommodating fans, these practices are closed to the public. 2000 was the last time the Colts had joint practices.

Pagano: Will work with Bears Aug. 19-20 (Wed/Thurs) in Indy. Means breaking camp a week early.
