Notes From The Third Day, WED Evening Padded Practice & am Practice

3 articles PM, 1 AM

Hughes so far each day has blown by the OL showing the speed we had hoped, but yes its rookies and Freeneys spin is destroying Castonzo but some positives seen for him regarding footwork & gewtting back in position, BUT hey its expected for freeney to blow by the rookie

.

Painter is doing quite well

.

Tamme cathing bbetter than Clark, Clark dropped pass should of caught but its early in his return after long layoff, no worries

.

Lacey covering Gonzo quite tightly , Powers shines in coverage

.

Carter looks strong but no one really trying to tackle him in practice depending who u read good or bad as receiver , didnt try blocking

.

all recivers doing well save for, Larrone Moore so that's OK

UIDFA LB Moten makes IT on Painter

NEVIS CONSISTENTLY IN BACKFIELD read somewhere forgot what link

Many other tidbits espcially from articles besides stampede blue

I'm pretty stoked to see what Hughes and Nevis can do this year.

Lots of reasons to be optimistic this year.

Nevis baby!!!! good to hear hes giving our o lineman something to think about

to me by the looks off it were doing good

[DILLIGAFER]

I was hoping to see something good from Carter. Another possible RB bust. I am impressed with javarris james myself. The guy is tough and can pound the ball. Look at what he did on goal line runs.

The Clark thing is a little worrisome. I half expected him to be up to speed and be catching better than that.

The best thing for Castonzo and Ijilana is two of the best DT in the game teaching them the ways of the NFL! Go get some boys!!

He's a 4th rounder. The term "bust" can never apply.

And why can't we wait until at least a preseason game?

[DILLIGAFER]

I get tired of watching the Colts go through RB after RB after RB that can't cut it or are constantly hurt. The offense really needs a run game to open things up in the passing game, but year after year.. nothing. Its slightly depressing and discouraging.

Im just hoping and waiting for a RB to show up and give us a run game other teams will fear. That's all.

[Mrfox]

I dont care who you play.... (humor)

If your line doesnt block and create holes you arent going to be able to run the ball.

We are pretty good at pass blocking but need to work on the run blocking.

We've only drafted three running backs in the first round in 12 years. Two of them have worked just fine. One is still undecided. A 4th rounder is a hit/miss proposition, regardless of the position. Plus, we've had other stop gap running backs (like Dom, a scrap heap pickup who set a record as an undrafted rookie) that have worked just fine.

I hope it doesn't come across as me picking on you, but I think a lot of people are losing sight of the past with our team. We always had an above average run game, up until 2008. The past three years have been very inconsistent, for several reasons, but I don't think our backs are the problem. And I don't think Delone Carter was drafted to be the savior of our run game. If our line can build on the progress we made in the last four weeks of the regular season, and if our young guys can come along, we'll make some progress. Carter ought to be a solid short yardage back, but we need better run blocking more than anything else.

[DILLIGAFER]

I don't take it as picking on me.

It's just slightly disconcerting that in a year of uncertainty in an injured Manning, we beef up the run game and take some weight off his shoulders and ease him back in. Instead of forcing him to throw 300+ yards per game. Personally, I blame alot of his injury on him having to throw so much. Im not a doc, but it couldn't help. I realize this organization rides Manning, but i'd like to see some pressure taken off Mannings arm. In a perfect world.

Has anyone been talking about Kirkpatrick? I'm excited about him as a Center and could be the next Jeff Saturday I think.

Absolutely. He threw the ball over 700 times last year, including the playoff game. Unreal. It would be great to have a consistent run game again, and hopefully that would bring his attempts back down to around 500 or less again. The last year we had a real gun game was 2007, and he threw it 515 times. That's sounds about right.

I am havent practice medicine since 1988 but can tell u not just the i overuse of the arms , it was the incredible hits he took once the quick release was thrown, I watched and have many pictures of those, also shown on various post game shows, he absorbed intense punishment, but if not looking for it, u wouldnt know as , as soon as he threw your eyes go to where the ball is being thrown & not what then happened to peyton as he was crushed & often sandwich between opposing defenders with excruciating facial expression, or laid out i on the floor

Good post. I'm a little concerned over the conflicting reports on Delone Carter.

[Mouthfire]

Guy coughs up the ball once, after getting hit in the backfield right as he gets the ball... and he's already a bust?

Geeze, folks... don't you at least want to watch him play a game, or even get out of the preseason before labeling him a failure?

:bash:

[DILLIGAFER]

Read the highlighted sentence, then read it again. I said possible bust. I haven't heard anything from reports that makes me think he's putting it all out there and that what this team needs. We'll just wait and watch. My hunch says I'm right.

Have to agree, Carter has tremendous potential, some of the so called experts say he may be our starter and a draft steal, he didnt fumble all last season

as was put by

18 to 88

says cant blame Carter for fumble, Freeney hit him immediately as got football as soon as he span around Castonzo

I'm just saying, cut the guy some slack.... One bad play (which wasn't even his fault) does not make a bad player.

As mentioned above, last year Carter was the anti-fumble machine. The guy NEVER fumbled.
