I really like having Turbin as Gores back up honestly

Due you feel better about the running back depth this year compared to last year? Last year I really liked Robinson and Verga but nether "pand" out?

I would trust Bremer. 

 

That's the bad thing about these reports 

The tweet from Stephen Holder also suggests that it was miscommunication between QB and receiver -- similar to what Bremer said.

This is one impressive piece of video tape.     Good buries the DL about 4 yards back off the line of scrimmage.

 

As the story goes,  the Bengal DL did something dirty to Hugh Thornton.    When Good became aware he told Thornton ---- "I got this" --- and you see what he did to the guy!      Boy, that looks SWEET on tape!

 

Tampa is who I think you mean.  But he definitely got this.

I do because I know the #1 and #2 backs are proven.  Ferguson I'm pretty confident will be a good third down back at a minimum if not more.  I'm 100 percent sure he'll be killer in the screen game, still need to see him run against live in game comp., but he's got killer agility so I think it's safe to think that will turn out right.  Last year we were talking up two unproven College backs as Gores backups.  This year only one of them is unproven.  This years group is better.

I tend to agree that this year's depth is better, but only marginally. Turbin is an improvement, but I'm far from sold on Ferg. It's hard for me to see him in a third down role because of his size. How is he going to be in pass pro, given his small stature? His ball security issues in college are also troubling. Of course, I hope that he proves me wrong, because I don't think Todman is any type of plan B. Im pulling for Ferguson, though, I'm just very wary.

Check his size again, he's bigger than Frank Gore height wise and a solid 200lbs.  That's not that bad, and I haven't heard any issues with his blocking so far in camp so I'll remain positive.   I've heard about the fumbling in College but so far I haven't seen it happen even once so fingers crossed.   The guys hands are too good as a receiver and in the screen game along with his agility to think he won't be effective there.  Still need to see him block and run the rock in a live game to be fully comfortable.  As far as catching the football and the screen game I'm totally comfortable.  No doubt in my mind there.

You might laugh at me, but I believe another guy who could be our 4th running back behind Gore, Turbin, Ferguson is Abou Toure.  He'll probably get cut and stashed on the PS, but I'm telling you the dude can play.  I saw enough last preseason.  I think he could beat out Todman and Tre Williams and we need a back like him in our stable because he's a bruiser with agility and light on his feet. Love his size at 6'2" 230lbs.  It won't shock me at all to see him make the PS.  Seems like he's behind the 8 ball on the depth chart, but I think that will change if they give him a couple more carries than he had last preseason.

I honestly thought that he was 30 lbs. lighter than that. Not sure where I picked that up from or if I just mistook him for another player, but I can deal with 200... a guy can be an effective pass blocker at that weight if he has good awareness and technique. 

 

I feel dense, but that's the best news ive heard from camp so far! haha

Ugh I do not like the sounds of that. 

 

Something I like about Glover Wright.  I think he could make the team as one of either Robinson or Davis backup behind Mitchel and Smith.  He's very fast and has great speed at 4.3 along with good size at 6'0".  Believe he might turn into something with some time.

Just giving you a hard time Krunk, I knew what you meant.

He is interesting.  A WR until he transferred to Utah State as a junior and then transitioned to CB, so he is still pretty new to the position.

I'm assuming he's doing a good job because they decided to keep him and Rose while letting Davie go. This is in addition to the time he spent on the PS last year . We even called him up to the regular roster for a few games during the season. I'm thinking Pagano and Company can mold him.  Going to check him out on Sunday or one of these other preseason games when they give him some time.

yeah, I'm thinking of playing hooky one day next week and heading up to Anderson.

Well I'm in Houston, Texas so the closest I'll get is the Television!  Hopefully he plays some on Sunday night.

Why is Harrison still on the team??.... and it seems like my hype for Ferguson is warranted

I've been asking this since the first time he was put in at Center over a far superior player.. he must have very compromising photos of Grigson....

      Early look at end of season 2024 offensive lineman free agents

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Colt's end of season OL Free Agents  OC Ryan Kelly OG Will Fries OC Danny Pinter OG Wesley French - RFA RG Jack Anderson LG Arlington Hambright - RFA RT Lewis Kidd - ERFA LG Josh Sills - RFA   NFL Market OL Free Agents:  LT Jackson Carman (Bengals)  LT Andrus Peat (Raiders) LT Andre Dillard (Packers) LT Walker Little (Jaguars)  LT Jaylon Moore (49ers)  LG Ben Bartch (49ers) LT/LG Saahdiq Charles (Titans)  LG Kayode Awosika (Lions) - RFA LG Nick Leverett (Patriots) OC Drew Dalman (Atlanta) OC/LG Trystan Colon (Cardinals) OC/LG Bradley Bozeman (Chargers)  OC/RT Robert Hainsey (TB Bucs)  RG/OC Nate Herbig (Steelers) RG Daniel Brunskill (Titans)  LG/RG Chandler Brewer (Jaguars) LG/RG Michael Jordan (Patriots) RT Jake Curhan (Bears) LT/RT Larry Borom (Bears)  LT/RT Chuma Edoga (Cowboys) RT Calvin Anderson (Patriots)    A few from the above mentioned wouldn't mind targeting after this season: Dalman (Atlanta) – in 2023 finished 6th best OL in zone with an 82.3 PFF grade.  Atlanta ran the most zone concepts of any team in regular season (315) where Dalman excelled earning a 90.9 run-blocking grade. Hainsey (TB Bucs) - best fit is inside zone run scheme Anderson (Patriots) – with Denver used to playing in a zone-blocking scheme Moore (49ers) – 3-year starter at Western Michigan’s shotgun, zone-based run scheme Carman (Bengals) – good fit in a zone scheme Bozeman (Chargers) – move to OC seen an improvement Brunskill (Titans) - solid backup with starter potential in his 30's Little (Jaguars) – good at reach blocking and outside zone   2025 OL Free Agents: - quick shoutout LG Isaac Seumalo (Steelers) – 2025 FA solid starter for years but the team draft Mason McCormick to be new starter in 2024 also be 32 years old in 2025.  Q. Nelson good until 2026 and will be 30 years old.  Starting guard in a zone scheme ideal. RT Thayer Munford (Raiders) – 2025 FA playing well – trade? Munford in 2022 on 432 run plays, 335 or 77. Percent were zone runs where he earned the third highest grade among the conference’s tackles with a 79.5 mark (Ohio State’s zone-heavy run scheme).  Braden Smith's contract set to expire.  Munford key replacement as an option. RT John Ojukwu (Titans) – 2024 ERFA 2025 FA? – best long-term position might be inside as a zone blocking guard.  A five-year starter for Boise State’s run heavy (60-40 run-pass) RPO based offense.

      Interesting Note on Last 2 Colts Receivers Drafted High

      By OhioColt · Posted

      It's not just drop percentages.  The Colts love speed on their offense.  Jonathan Taylor was recently listed as one of the fastest players in the NFL last season.  Then the Colts drafted Anthony Gould who in 2023 Week 3 hit a top speed of 21.6 mph.  As UDFAs the Colts then brought in NC State Trent Pennix who in Week 6 clocked the fastest time by a TE at 20.6 MPH but also is a capable RB.  Colts also added QB Jason Bean (Kansas) who in Week 9 clocked an impressive 22.4 mph T5 fastest player in 2023.  Adonai Mitchell during his Combine forty reached top speed overall at 23.84 mph.  Even Pierce had been clocked running 19.82 mph which is impressive for a man his size.  Downs unfortunately wasn't able to find a good metric on but did clock a respectable Combine forty time.

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Welcome back.   After taking a month off, you’ve returned.   I’m not sure where to start, so let’s try the night the Colts drafted Mitchell.  Late that night, you and another high profile Ballard-Hater had this conversation:  That you didn’t like CBs defense of Mitchell.  His big speech.  Why?  Because you guys agreed that “Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy or not.”   Your words.     When my chin came off the floor and my eyes back in my head I thought this:   Why would you OR the fans of any team ever think that what a GM shares on draft night is all he knows?   Because it isn’t.  A GM is sharing all that he wants to share, nothing more.  But what he doesn’t share is much, much more than what he does share.  Think an iceberg;  10 percent above water,  90 percent below.   A GM knows far more than he ever shares.    And now you make this argument….   If Mitchell doesn’t work out, Ballard has left himself open to criticism.   Two words:  who cares?   A GM can’t do his job well if he’s afraid of criticism.  Do you think the Steelers care that George Pickens is totally crazy?   No.  They care he makes big plays for Pittsburgh and catches first downs and touchdowns.  Mike Tomlin deals with the crazy part in private.   A GM has to have thick skin.  Ballard clearly does.   And he doesn’t care what others think of him.  Nor should he.     So far Mitchell seems to enjoy Indy.   I think the odds are good Ballard and Steichen can handle whatever baggage the kid brings.

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Unbelievable.  Tell me, what’s the criteria for being a spoiled brat?     Because all the other rookie WR’s have clauses in their contracts too.   The Colts do a great job of signing players.  This signing doesn’t seem to bother the Colts, yet it bothers you enough to call Mitchell a spoiled brat.  Over nothing much out of the ordinary.  Thats why players have agents.  It’s why the Colts have Mike Bluem.     You remain your own worst enemy.     Goodness gracious.
