Im concerned about the mental as well, but if the staff feels he's ready.... We'll see! They are at least ready I think to give him strong evaluation in training camp and preseason.

This is what makes me a little concerned about Cross. He’s been with the team a few years now. He shouldn’t be making mistakes like that imo. -
The problem is the coaching staff and the GM has contended that they were pleased with the corner play last season. They had issues with the safety play. I'd contend it was execution related such as the TD play from the Colts Texans end of season game where there was supposed to be safety help on the Nico Collins bomb but Cross was not in the right place. I think we regularly went through things like that.

I noticed a few teams had several players on the PuP list. Are there any Colts that won't participate at the start of camp? I don't think Branden Smith did the OTA's, and I think Pierce missed some practices.

Agreed. Rodney Thomas was a good story. Here was a 7th round Ivy League player who makes starting safety his rookie year. Wow! What a Great Story! Uh huh. What does that Great Story really say? It said that our safety room was so poor that a 7th round rookie Ivy Leaguer became the starter. He turned out to be the best we had. Meaning, what we had wasn't all that great in the first place. And what was it we had in 2022? Julian Blackmon, free agent Rodney McLeod, the very young rookie Nick Cross, and free agent Armani Watts. And what do we have now? Julian Blackmon, Nick Cross, Rodney Thomas, and the 5th round rookie Jaylin Simpson. Shockingly familiar faces for a safety room that's supposed to be better. Yes, I'll grant that players improve over time. So what we have ought to be better than what we had two years ago. But there's a reason why so many people have doubts. The faces are, in effect, the same. Oh, and as a counter-argument for those who want us to grab a veteran FS, any FS, as long as they play the position. That's what we did in 2022 with Rodney McLeod and Armani Watts. And the rookie Thomas wound up starting over both of them.
