Physical Traing Camp


a06cc

Recommended Posts

Don't know if this thread was made yet. However does anyone agree with Ballard wanting a more physical camp? I'm all for it. I've said for years this team needed to be more physical. We haven't had a hitter on this team until Geathers made the scene. I would like to know what others think? We do have injuries to worry about. I'm with Ballard that they will help prepare us for the long haul of the season.

I'm for it.  Yet another way to change their culture of this team.  

You can't practice tackling by pulling flags.

i think a more physical tone to camp and practice is just what this team needs.

sure you risk more injuries, but it cant be worse than normal (with the injuries). If they cant make it thru camp, how will they last a season?

as they say, iron sharpens iron.  We've adhered to "sponge sharpens sponge" the last decade or so.

Soft football has only netted one title in Indy even through Manning's best years of his carreer. Ballard is fielding a roster as if we have a few injuries then the next man won't be that big of a drop off in production.

 

Maybe it will actually be fun watching the Colts play the Pats and Steelers and not expect a loss.

I like what you said if they can't make it through camp tackling how they going to make it through the season. Good point! Also, if they get hurt tackling in camp they have more time to heal than during the season anyways.

    • Not really.   There's a theory that Ballard wants to draft an OL high because he said it's important to protect the QB, and Richardson was hurt last year. And the counter was that Richardson's injury/s probably aren't about the level of OL protection, and drafting an OL high wouldn't address that concern.
    • I'm thinking if we can trade to 8 or 9 and draft Odunze , we should do it if the price is reasonable. The value chart shows giving up P 15 and P 46 is the perfect number. Probably won't do it and I would think 2025 2nd for a 2024 4th added to the deal would make it work . That of coarse would depend on Atlanta or Chicago wanting to move to 15 . Obviously , as we all know , it takes 2 to make a trade.
    • I can too. And that will tell us everything we need to know about how the view him. It will tell us their feelings on the tight end room, and what direction they pick from there will tell us even more.    but if they take him at 15, we won’t know much about what might have happened, as they will be landing someone they had rated highly and fell to them. 
    • Glad that’s over…    if I wanted to argue about it, I would have responded far more in depth than pointing out how you were attempting to gaslight me. I did not. Meaning I was ending my part of whatever the argument was. You “putting a finality to it” and then listing bullet points tells me it was the argument you wanted all along, which makes sense why you brought Grigson up in the first place. Bait, hook, gaslight. Almost got me buddy. You are a funny guy, Doug 
    • Putting a finality on an argument you want to have.   There is a theory that Ballard won't draft a OL high because ARs injuries were not caused by a poor oline.  I felt it important to note that since Luck's major injuries were also not caused by his oline, Ballard could still want to improve it like he did in 2018 simply because AR is The Franchise. And its important to point that out because there has been a running (false) narrative for about 9 years that Luck's oline was the (main) reason for his injuries that kept him out of games.  The (false) narrative is based upon, IMO, a detest of Grigson, and not reality about the facts (or strong rumors) behind the kidney laceration and snowboarding shoulder. Therefore, mentioning Grigson and the (false) narrative was germain to the point about Ballard possibly drafting Oline high this draft to protect AR. Mentioning Grigson shouldn't trigger a CB vs RG discussion, unless people reading it are gaslighted by their own reading lens.
