10 practices in training camp.  No wonder there is a noticeable drop off in talent, especially along the oline, they have no time to work on the details that take someone from good to great.

It's what the players demanded, and what the owner's agreed to.  What a joke the league has become -- well except for all the cash flowing in from us suckers.

I would say that good Coach's will get the most out of there players & all teams have the same issue . We have yet to see our 2016 Colts until then there's nothing to notice but a badly prepared field .

If you feel like a sucker then why are you wasting your time making comments and following a team? No one is twisting your arm to follow or spend money on anything to do with the NFL.

They still have a month of practice before the season starts,  It just isn't open to the public

It's not like these guys are just sitting around until September 11 after TC is over. They're still at the Colts facilities working every day to prepare for the season. If anything, I would guess the work back in Indy is more beneficial than TC with thousands of fans looking on. Less distractions is likely better.

I was thinking this.

They also only get 14 padded practices for the entire year. 11 in the regular season

 

I'm sure the number of padded practices they can have in camp is also regulated though.

11 during the regular season all done the first 11 weeks of the season.....Wednesdays most likely with Mondays off besides weight lifting  to recover from Sunday games. 14 total padded practices on the year. 3 during TC I believe. Most of what they do through the week consists of weight training, film study....preparing for next opponent. walk throughs...Friday I believe.

I'm guessing they have unpadded practices in there too.  

 

Either way the amount of padded practice is limited, so leaving TC after only 10 practices is no big deal or change really.

Even good coaches need time to work with players.  Yes all teams have the same issue, I was not implying this was a Colts only issue.

Really good stuff from Bruno on 1070 right now with Grady. He was just talking about how the coaches are working with Luck on his progressions, not over-thinking the play, and taking the open route when he sees it.

 

Bruno mentioned last year there were issues where Luck might have seen an X-route open, and would go look for the Z out of curiosity thinking "if this guy is open, maybe the deep route is too." They speculated that it may have been a hold-over mentality from the Bruce Arians offense always looking to go for the deep ball.

 

Lastly, he mentioned that the combo of keeping the plays simple and marrying the footwork to the play has resulted in some really strong practices the last few days whereas he started a little rusty in camp trying to adjust.

You may be right,  but this looks completely wrong. 

 

Do you have a link to something?      Anything?

    • The best thing the staff did was cut Leonard. That set a clear tone that you either perform or you don't. We did have the luxury of still having two quality starting linebackers so that eased the pain of his loss.   I firmly believe had we not lost Flowers to the IR and Rodgers to Suspension that Baker would have absolutely been cut. As it is Baker is likely on the outside looking in with the additions of Abraham and Simpson, Moore being the stud he is and plus the healthy return of Flowers and the uptick in in-game ability of Brents and Jones.    Woods being on the IR all of last year hurt, but it allowed Mallory and Ogletree to grow. TE's have a hard transition from College to the Pro level and usually year 2-3 is when they start to really take off. We have talent there in that room and SS will creatively use it!   WR's...........Downs will continue to excel and grow in the slot and will become electric. MPJ is a Reggie Wayne technician type that will move the sticks and occasionally add in a big play - a much-needed type on the outside. AP ran the most go routes of any WR last year, but Minshew could not throw him open or hit him downfield when he was, that is not on AP as he was doing as was scripted by SS. He is our vertical threat that opens up the underneath routes for the TE's, Downs and MPJ. Add in AD now as the all-around WR that can take the top off, run with it after the catch and run a full route tree at full speed and they all complement each other very well! Add in a (hopefully) healthy AR5 and that can become a dynamic group of receivers!   Safety - an outside free agent isn't always the answer. And it's going to be a player on the downside of his career as a stop gap. Simmons is not coming to our rescue. He will likely go to a sure-fire contender. However, there are still a few 30+ guys that could be a good stopgap on a one-year deal. If I had my choice though, I'd go with a younger guy that may still have a few years of juice left in him like a Terrell Edmunds!    
    • I wonder if they will sign any of the rookie invites over what we currently have rostered?   Combing thru the list the following intrigue me: Justin Strong - RB - strong production and a high RAS = Ballard's type. Perhaps over Goodson or Scott Will Perez - LB - Similar/Equivelent Measurables of Ballards Build-A-Backer concept (6'3"/224/32.125" Arms/4.61 40 - 8.82 RAS from Princeton so probably really smart too) over an Anderson or Ajiake    
    • By calling him a crybaby, Doyel ruined Steichen interviews for eternity.  Listen to Steichen interviews from Philly.  He sounds like a perfectly normal dude.  Now, because of Doyel, Steichen is guarded, and will do the cheap Belichick impersonation as long as he is here.  
    • The Fever have Bigs and Shooters, but those were triple teamed last year. Covering Caitlin will leave them to get open. She’s perfect for the Fever.
    • Thanks bestest buddy!   And wow, nice gift! You know what they say… food is the way to a Mom’s heart!  I know it was delicious! Great Sunday all around!
