Setting aside my fascination with this draft class, I'm also excited to watch, Johnson, Gore, Herremans, Langford, Cole, Lowery & Irving. These guys are the big chess piece moves that were made in the offseason.

 

Most importantly, the long, long wait is over. Our Colts will be coming out of the tunnel in just a matter of minutes now, and that's exciting!

I'm assuming most everyone here are adults. This is the internet not Jr High School. Your forum would be a lot more successful with less censorship. Lol @ your warning.

Really? If most are adults there shouldn't be a need for censorship especially when replying to another member!

Are you trying to get banned or something!?

I like Bennett out there...he moves the team and has good mobility.

As for Hasselbeck, not so much.

 

I would not be unhappy if we kept Bennett and Hasselbeck disappeared.

 

youd be happy with a guy shining against UDFAs  :sigh:

anyone else surprised tipton got 20 touches

I hope that doesn't ever happen again. It was pretty obvious we were going to pound the ball all day. We have to have something better than Tipton

I would have liked to see JR get some first half carries more of Varga in the 2nd half.

So funny how we get destroyed every year in preseason I know it don't matter I just think it's funny it's become like a tradition haha get owned in preseason then we win like crazy every year I love it

And like clock work people cry and whine about us losing pre season games too. The colts have stunk in preseason every single year.

I still don't understand why Tebow is unwilling to play a different position. The guy just isn't an NFL QB.

what else would he play though?  he would be among the shortest and lightest tight ends in the league, maybe even dead last in both of those catagories. i doubt he would cut it as a blocker there and he isnt fast enough to be a receiving specialist.

Julian Edelman was a QB in college, and Belichick converted him to a WR, and he is TINY compared to the average NFL WR. It seems like the only thing keeping Tebow from doing the same thing is his own personal pride. It's just my opinion, but I feel like at least one of his past coaches must've suggested a position change at some point.

JE isnt that small though. he's actually about the perfect height and a little heavy for a slot WR.  TY hilton, phillip dorsett, wes welker and Desean Jackson are all smaller than eldeman

 

even odel beckham and percy harvin are less than an inch taller and not any heavier

 

i think that tebow is just a little small to be very good at TE.  for one more comparison, Dallas Clark(who was also undersized) was bigger AND faster than Tebow.  hes not cut out to be a blocking or recieving TE

 

line backer could be interesting if its not too late to switch to defense

      Potential/Average/Concern

      By RollerColt · Posted

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.

      What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.

      I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
