Colts Training Camp 7/27/18

Hmmm,  Reich mentioned turning 14 play drives into 6-7 play drives with 'chunk plays'.  So maybe he likes the O weapons and protection, and it apparently won't always be 'get the ball out short and fast' though that will be part of the plan.

 

I feel Cain and TY make serious downfield threats that allow either deep or short chunk plays, depending upon coverage.

 

This D is designed to be fast, go 100%. if a youngster makes a mistake, do it going 100 miles per hour, not waiting at a stop sign.

Where does one get tickets for camp? I'm thinking about going to the sunday night practice.

I posted the link in one of these threads. I think it was a thread I made directly informing how to obtain tickets. I’ll see if I can find it

And that is why I said Hines doesn't play as fast as his 4.38 40 time.

your statement makes no sense. This is the NFL so of course LB's are going to be quick. In fact i wouldn't be surprised if the Giant LB's are keeping up with Barkley

Today will be KEY in knowing where his shoulder is

 

Agreed, and especially Saturday morning (his day off).  But good news so far-

 

Among the most important aspects of Frank Reich’s presser, Andrew Luck bounced back well from yesterday’s practice. Shoulder “feels good.

Hines getting caught on a screen speaks more to missed blocks and Leonard’s sideline to sideline speed than it does Hines lack of speed

This. . . 

 

In fact I think Andrew Luck said at some point that the biggest difference between NFL ball and college ball was the speed of the linebackers.

From the highlights I’ve seen, it looks like Leonard has picked off 2 passes. Looks like the coverage skills he showed in college and at the Senior Bowl are legit. Glad we got him.

Absolutely. My best friend and I were talking after Round 1 of the draft. He was telling me about Darius Leonard, and hoping he would go to the Broncos on day 2. Looks like he was right about how good he could be. Might be a much needed hit at the LB position in this draft by Chris Ballard.

No sense? Guy says Zaire Franklin ran down Hines in college. I wasn't talking about the screen play.

    • AR proved in his first game that he is going to be very good. 
    • Yes, this QB class can survive because of their athletic ability that translates well to the modern NFL. But, I'm trying to find a QB in the class who can do all the running (which most of them are good at) AND also be able to understand what defenses try to do, and make or change plays within the pocket.   By the virtue of Penix having played inside the pocket almost all the plays, he should've developed an innate ability to do just that, so maybe he'll translate well mentally. Though his tape seems to show concerns about his touch and accuracy in short and intermediate levels. You may be proven right if he could develop into a more accurate passer that can throw with anticipation. 
    • Also the reason  you go wr is to make sure you have the right  qb. If he stinks with an star cast of offensive  weapons  then you know you need another qb
    • Very true.  Josh Allen is another one.  The Bills traded for Diggs to help him out and they took off.  Now he’s gone.  I expect the Bills to do something big again to help him out.  Once you get your quarterback the next step is making sure he has the weapons around him.  Right now AR has some real quality weapons.  Getting him another one could really set the team up for a nice run.
    • Yes, if I'm forced to choose, I'd go with Williams, despite him earning some reputation with all the garbage talk from his camp even since the year before the actual draft. I read a scout saying that the PR guys (including his father) Williams has led him to those bad reputation and decisions, when he should've gone under the radar with much more good vibes surrounding him. Anyway, it's on him now to prove by his play in the NFL.   I'd also go with Daniels, as Williams seems just out of reach for anyone other than Bears. Concerns with Daniels are about his durability and the ability to dissect NFL defenses, but if he becomes injury prone in the NFL, at least that'd help the team to move on to finding the next franchise QB.   My overall gripe with this QB class is that no one stands out as being strong in his ability to go through progressions and reads, as many of their offenses seemed to involve limited reads. So it falls squarely on the individual's intelligence to be able to translate at the highest level, and there's no way any fan like us would get to know without working him out and bringing him in for interviews - which teams are doing with those QBs. So, NFL teams will need to figure out who among this class can consistently pick apart NFL defenses or at least grow into that level.   This QB class is different because the tape of them doesn't tell that part of the story due to the offenses they played in.
