Colts Rookie Minicamp 5/11/2018

I saw a video on this on my facebook page.  Looked like Jack Mewhort was there acting as an equipment manager.  

 

Anyone know what's up with that?  Either the Colts have an equipment manager that looks like Jack Mewhort or Mewhort is trying to prepare for a new career or something.

Lance Zierlein gives the worst player comparisons I've ever seen. Deon Cain couldn't hold Roddy White's jock strap. Don't get me wrong, I'm rooting for Cain to succeed. Colts are going to need one of the three rookie WR on the roster to contribute at some point. Cain might have a slight edge over Fountain and Ishmael but I don't think there is a big difference between them. Camp competition will be fierce.

I really hate the player comparison thing anyway because they always go for well known players who have done extremely well.  

 

Every freaking pass catching back is compared to Darren Sproles.

Nelson isn't much for interviews. I thought Andrew's interviews were secretive. Cant get 6 words out of the guy haha

Nelson really seems like an awesome guy though. He has a cool personality and is a real football player that knows he's good. I wish we had 53 Quenton Nelson's on the team. He's probably my favorite football player already on the team.

I read he was happy that we signed Braden Smith. Is he friends with Braden? Not only would that be good chemistry on the line, but if they are friends, maybe Nelson could help Braden become a big time G?

Not sure if their friends. The tweet said he studied him to get ready for a bowl game against LSU

Edge rusher, a term for a player that rushes, or hurries the QB to put pressure on him to throw the ball away. Also tries to sack the QB. Cmon, you know this Shaun! :) 

 

LOL I've never seen E by someones name tho for position... Usually its DE or OLB, right?  Or am I just crazy here and need to go back to eating cheetos?

Usually they spell out EDGE when referring to such a guy, but im guessing with Twitter and its limits on character numbers, they shortened it to E

Mack and Hines on the field in split shotgun with TY in the slot and ebron running up the seam is gonna be a nightmare for defenses to cover. That is too much speed.

I feel like every year we get hyped about our players and think of scenarios that would be a nightmare for defenses to cover. And then nothing ever happens. I don't see this year being any different. TY is literally the only player you mentioned that is a match-up nightmare. No one else.

True. no one has proven anything, but it doesn't mean you can't envision the possibility

your statement would only make more sense if we didn't have a new head coach. Because under pags i would totally agree with u

I'm sure my statement makes sense either way. TY is the only playmaker. The rest are relatively unknowns and a career underachiever.

That's because our previous couple of OC's lacked imagination.....whereas the new staff has talked about creativity in the offense quite a bit.

I thought I read somewhere where Smith was a 1st. team All American.  If so I think that would qualify as a big time guard.

Rookies are not career underachievers. Neither is Mack. Ty, Hines, Mack could all be playmakers together.

yep...

"He was a second-team All-SEC pick by league media at right guard in 2015 and received second and third-team All-American notice at that position as a junior while also picking up second-team all-conference recognition from SEC coaches. In Smith's final season, he was honored as a first-team All-American and All-SEC selection after starting all 14 games for the Tigers. "

The career underachiever is Ebron, not the rookies. My initial post here was in response to what CR91 said.

    • Rick Venturi today on the radio said he is more of a fan of speed with corners then what Ballard has done. He said young corners have to be able to recover from mistakes. I would almost like rodgers instead of Brent’s.
    • BBZ, what do you mean when you say Brents will be successfully targeted because of his size and speed? Aren't those his good traits? 
    • Right. But we also are expected to draft a corner, So the fact that DeJean can play either position, makes me think Ballard could have his eye on him.
    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Elite athlete. Special Teams standout, Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
