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?

      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.
