Charlie Casserly Report: Luck to be full go for Training Camp

Let's hope he threw that little kid after the scene ended. I'd say toddlers count as "Weighted balls"

Well the kid was holding a football, so I think this counts.

20 bucks says he goes through the entire training camp throwing kids holding footballs. That's what he learned in Europe

Isn't throwing a weighted ball harder than a football? I think so and think this is the big difference from last year.

Depends how far he’s “throwing” it. Also, is he using a true Andrew Luck throwing motion?  I doubt it, unless he’s just dumping it in front of himself.  If you handed me a bowling ball to throw, I’d be heaving it like a shot put.  Assuming the ball is just a bit heavier than a Tom Brady regulation football, I’d still be launching it a bit higher to try to achieve a decent flight.  We’ll see, but it isn’t silly to be skeptical.

Being skeptical is fine, my point was last year Andrew looked frail and wasn't throwing anything.

Bleacher Report is saying that today, 5/17, marks 500 days since Andrew Luck threw a football in any meaningful way. FIVE. HUNDRED. DAYS. ?! 

 

If I were an objective football fan looking at that, I’d be really surprised the Colts didn’t take a chance at a QB this draft.

That must mean a pre season or a regular game.

 

Evidently, they feel Brissett can handle the job if Luck doesn't make it back as quickly as they hope.  JB was obtained to be Luck's backup, whether he gets game time or not. Both AL and JB have to be pleased with the potential of the O line now.

 

Now there were a very few here who wanted to get one of the front line QB's at pick #3, and slightly more folks (I'm in this camp) that wanted to expend a 4-7th rounder on one of the likes of a Falk, Lauletta, White (I also had T. Lee, and A. McGough) to backup JB (IOW, not Kaaya) in case Luck is delayed in his comeback.

 

We didn't, so I hope Lucks comes back, and the line really is fixed, finally.

Well, that's not entirely true. Last year in mid October, Andrew was throwing a 'Duke' to trainers, and was just starting to get in some 7 on 7 work, and a few scout team snaps in during practices.

 

https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2017/10/12/andrew-luck-ramps-up-colts-practice/758546001/

 

After 4 practices, he suffered a setback, soreness, and less than a week later, the Colts shut him down.

 

https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2017/10/18/andrew-luck-shoulder-soreness-not-practice-week-says-chris-ballard/777445001/

 

By November 2, he was shutdown for the year.  But they did try to get him into game shape and on the field.  It failed.  He has to pass this test once more this year as well.  I'm very interested at that stage, especially when he gegts 11 on 11 drills.

Well, ok.  But that was only 4 months after his surgery.  He was put on IR in early November 2017. So it has been almost 6 months since he last threw a football in meaningful ways.  But at least he is in some strength and conditioning throwing program now.

I think not taking a QB in the draft should tell any objective football fan two things....

 

One...   that the Colts are VERY confident that Luck will be fine.....

 

And/Or....

 

Two....    the Colts are confident that if Luck has ANY setbacks that they believe Jacoby Brissett can step in and do an acceptable job.

 

At least one, if not both options,  should seem reasonable.

I know we got to wait and see until he actually throws a real football but I still think it's good news and I think he'll be ready to go.

IMO, this offseason is a lot different than last. Luck looks 100% healthy and built like a Train. Last offseason he didn't look right at all, skinny, etc.. I have very little doubt he wont be ready for Week 1. We will see once he starts throwing how he feels but I think he will be fine. Irsay was just trying to be optimistic last offseason which most owners are when it comes to a franchise player that is injured. I know the NFL is a business but IMO Irsay didn't have to lie to sell tickets, so why would he? We were going to sell out every game regardless anyway which we did whether or not we announced Luck was out for the season in August or October.

Has that poster ever written anything that is to be taken seriously?

[stitches]

I don't know how to present this but here we go. I decided to go back and see whether Luck's rehabilitation is going according to plan. I didn't include anything said before the setback he suffered in October. The first thing I found is from his press-conference on December 29th:

 

 

So at the end of December Luck himself said he he expects to be ready for OTAs. He's still not. 

 

On Feb 20th, Frank Reich says he's talked to Andrew and he's 'hopeful' that Luck will be ready by OTAs:

 

Luck says he will be "starting to throw the ball fine" once training camp begins:

 

Feb 28th, Frank Reich says Luck will be there for OTAs, doesn't say he will throw

 

April 9th, Andrew Luck has pressconference and says he doesn't expect to do much in the off-season program:

https://horseshoeheroes.com/2018/04/09/top-takeaways-andrew-lucks-latest-press-conference/

 

Quote

“I don’t anticipate doing too much out there” early on this offseason

He also says there is a timetable for him to start throwing but he won't reveal it(seems like training camp is the goal):

 

May 11th: Chris Ballard confirms that the target for throwing it training camp:

 

 

So to summarize:

- December 29 - Luck will do everything in the offseason(including mini camp, OTAs, training camp)

- Feb 20th - 'hopeful' for OTAs

- Feb 28th - will be there for OTAs, not sure if throwing

----------------------Vets mini-camp starting April 9th: Luck is there but is not throwing---------------

- April 9th - not expecting to do much in the early stages of off-season (mini camp and OTAs), targets training camp for throwing

- May 11th - target training camp for throwing confirmed once again

----------------------OTAs starting May 22nd: Luck is there but is not throwing --------------------------

 

IMO this is mildly concerning, since it seems like they are little by little pushing back the timeline. I guess, we will not know for sure until we see him throwing in training camp... or earlier if by some miracle they decide he's ready to throw in the next couple of weeks while OTAs are going on.

Great post. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

 

Here's my opinion.

 

I think Andrew and staff were hopeful that they could unleash him for OTA's, but, the closer they got, Luck was still at a certain point in his rehab, and you KNOW they're not gonna skip steps. So, he's progressing and getting better, but it just went a bit slower than they'd hoped.

 

They probably got to OTA's and said, "Why risk it? Why put any added stress on Andrew or his shoulder? He doesn't NEED to throw in OTA's. Why don't we just take it slow and give him as much time as we can to heal even further, and then feel extra confident come training camp?"

 

I know we all want to see him, but I think he's fine. They're just being overly cautious at this point. They haven't made any moves or done anything at all from a managerial standpoint that would show any concern or disbelief that Andrew will be ready.

They didn't make any moves from a managerial standpoint last offseason...until the Brissett trade fell in their laps during the preseason. And now they have Brissett, who they are more than content to continue starting if need be.

 

I think they probably do believe that Luck will come back, but even if they had doubt, they weren't going to seriously address it this offseason. The plan would be to let Brissett start, see what happens and then adjust the plan heading into next offseason if necessary. They can always sign a cheap vet QB to back up Brissett this season. 

 

I think drafting a QB early, let alone at #3, would have been out of character for everything Ballard has said and done to this point. He is trying to build up a strong roster that doesn't require an elite QB to win.

 

Also, I think there is a fine line between being overly cautious and doubt. At the very least, their caution with Luck is somewhat driven by not knowing. If they knew he could throw, he would be throwing.

I have been mildly concerned for a long time now. This whole scenario is unprecedented. I almost wish we would get a report that says Luck had a second procedure and is currently on schedule in his recovery. At least that would better explain why he's not throwing.

 

But that fact that he's not throwing, and the timeline keeps getting pushed back little by little, makes me think that no one really knows for sure at this point...despite Ballard even saying he had "no doubt."

 

While I am concerned about Luck specifically, I am not worried about the Colts. Ballard seems to aiming for a strong, balanced roster that doesn't need an elite QB, even if I don't fully agree with the way he has done it. And it's either going to be Luck or Foles (the guy who just won the Super Bowl with Reich) in 2019. Colts will be just fine.

The only bit that gives me hope is that 

 

A. He's been working on throwing weighted balls for months. So while he's not executing an NFL pass, he is more or less throwing. Just not the way we want.

 

B. Chris Ballard said that all of the throwing and rehab he's done to this point would have shown them if the setback that occurred in October would have happened again, and it hasn't. So he technically has surpassed the progress he made last year, since he is beyond that issue now.

Right, I totally understand. I have found myself falling into that from time to time.

 

But again, that was a setback he suffered when he began heavy throwing, which, according to Ballard, would have already happened at the stage Luck was at before the draft. So Ballard has definitely given us at least a slight bit of reason to be optimistic in this case.

So much has changed since last year. I don't understand why that keeps being brought up.

 

End of the day, there's nothing to talk about until training camp. Even then, until Luck is back on the field on Sundays, there will be skepticism. And beyond that, there will be cynicism. 

 

But right now, all there is to react to is an absence of news, which isn't reasonable, to me.
