Guys have to hope they don't get slightly injured in the last game.

I think you have to avoid any down time.  There are more bodies around those last 2 games, so your time on field may be drastically reduced as the coaches look at different positions while also trying to get the starters some "gel" time.

 

We've got some young players I'd like to see get some burn time to see how they fare in quality opposition (Hooker, Banner, Wilson).  Should be a very interesting preseason for us.  Really looking forward to it.

This will be a Wild day for everyone

No doubt. All the GMs and their staff will be busy as ants making the choice on who goes and who stays. Then looking at all the players cut by other teams.

I wonder why they changed the way players are cut from two to one day? The practice squad will have a bunch of turnover too IMO.

This makes so much more sense than cutting down to 75 before the last preseason game.  That's the last chance game for those fringe players to show their stuff.  Plus we don't want to play any of our starters or second team if possible.

I have a feeling everything will happen early in the window

How many Colts staffers will be playing the role of "the Turk" on that busy day?

 

That's a job, temporary or permanent, nobody would ever want. Bring on the ulcer or other health ailment.

Yes, I know it is possible for another team to pick you up on the waver wire. 

 

The sad thing is the NFL community meaning those who get to play it, start, or be on the practice squad is small.

That's gonna be one CRAZY DAY, leaving little time to get any new players into the system.  I'm hoping Ballard can find some good depth for us, though.

 

How many guys from the first cuts historically made it on the field early at all anyways?  It's presumably always been the final cuts that matter so I don't see a huge change in the regard.

Agreed. It will make speculating the final rosters much more interesting!

Heck yeah! 

 

Plus he said camp is going to be a lot more physical than it has in the past. 

 

About time!! 

Yup. All the Colts reporters are tweeting about it. It's confirmed they'll be more contact practices. Time to separate the boys from the men 

 

It's a different swagger to this team & I'm loving it.

This is going to be a difficult process for players on the bubble. Even if they make the 53 man roster initially they are not safe by any means after all the cuts. One teams cuts could be another team's treasure. 

 

That's always been the case though.  Most teams would do some adjustments to their rosters right after the cuts took place before the first game of the year.

 

Shoot realistically you are never safe being at the bottom of the roster or on the PS.  Teams flip shuffle through players quite a bit during the season.

      I just want to point out that Ballard again told us the truth in his pre-draft presser. His answer to the question of whether he has changed anything in his draft philosophy, pretty much explains the Latu pick in view of him being a bit of a departure from what he's usually done (i.e. super high level athleticism, some projection of what the player can be vs what he is now)     His answer pretty much explains the Latu pick "of course you look for unique talent, unique traits, ...character... but then also... on the flip side of that making sure that we are drafting not only the unique traits but also some substance with the tape"...    So yeah, I think this answer a very good explanation of that pick... "substance with the tape". Not that Latu is not athletic. He is, but his athleticism is not his selling point. The selling point is the substance - the technical refinement, the tape, the production.    With that said... I wonder if we will continue to see that on day 2 and day 3? Can we see one of the Ballard's lowest RAS drafts?

      From @nsurg   "So he had a cervical fusion... this is a surgery I do frequently.  Once it heals the surgery is more or less the strongest part of the neck.  The biggest problems with a fusion in this context are:        (1) loss of nerve function prior to surgery may or may not recover after surgery, usually over the next 3-12 months (but his production after surgery implies no major concern on this)        (2) the patient will have somewhat accelerated wear/arthritis at non fused levels.  While this is a real concern, it will unfortunately be more of an issue for him later in life, after his NFL career.                 Peyton had this surgery as his final neck surgery before playing for the broncos, but his problem was number one above, he apparently never had the same arm strength as before.        Ahmad Bradshaw also had this same surgery in 2013, he already had I think 6 years of RB play prior to that.  His YPC held up but was utilized less, but this may mirror more a tapering RB career.                 I'm not personally worried about the medical status of this player, but I have no idea the actual details obviously.  I will say that very few surgeons would be eager to clear the player to play afterwards, mostly for the stupid liability things in medicine.                 I think it's fair to say we got a really nice pick here for value."   https://forums.colts.com/topic/76891-colts-select-laiatu-latu-edge-ucla/?do=findComment&comment=2646941
