If TY keeps it up I feel good about his chances of making the team.

Am I the only one who could care less about this (as in where Peyton is at)?

Eh, I don't think there's a rift between Peyton and the Colts. He just seems to enjoy spending time around the Broncos organization quite a bit. I think that's the long and short of it.

That, and the fact that he lives in Colorado. Some people are blowing this way out of proportion.

Yup, I'm aware. And yeah, the whole "Peyton is a Bronco/Colt" has been a touchy subject seemingly since he retired for Colts/Broncos fans.

Ballard did say they were still gonna be cautious with Luck (and the other injured players coming back).

With anything like a calf strain wearing a red jersey/staying away from contact doesn't really matter. All it takes is one awkward step to tweak it. I'm okay with them being cautious today.

Well they aren’t being careful with Cain or Doyle and they missed the entire year. They probably have Luck on a throw count. More about keeping his arm strong then the calf.


Hah yeah I almost mentioned that. Especially because I think he specifically mentioned Cain when talking about limiting guys.

Maybe it's partly Luck's call too. He's talked about being a lot more responible/cautious coming back from injuries ever since the shoulder.

Luck is the franchise QB - he just isn't another player, we can't take any chances with him getting injured on a fluke. His calf is probably not 100% yet, one wrong step and it's over. That would be like the Lakers saying, LeBron we need you in game 1 of the pre-season to go score 40 points and dunk on everyone lmao. I say who cares that Luck is limited but that is just me. We can win without Cain or Doyle in reality if something fluky happened to them. Without Luck we would be 7-9, 8-8 at best  and no playoffs. I would be fine with Luck not even playing in the 1st pre-season game and very little in the pre-season except for game 3. He proved last season he is 100% healthy arm wise by going 10-6. I mean if 39 TD's and 4500 yards didn't prove it to people I do not know what well.

Ehh to be fair especially Cain but also Doyle are not nearly as important as Luck.

 

Losing Cain would just be sad for the kid.  Losing Doyle would be a disappointment for the team.  Losing Luck and we might as well sign Curtis Painter up, go 0-16, get the #1 pick.

I agree. I am just surprised I guess Cain and Doyle weren’t more limited. 

 

Hopefully we will get some good articles from today with more details on how everyone did.

About as much as I could care less that Luck is limited in a meaningless day 1 training camp haha . Happy training camp is here though, great to see the guys. Luck has been through many of these, his health is most important. If Luck was out there giving 100% in training camp and blew out an achilles, everyone in here would be ripping Reich to shreds. I remember when Teddy Bridgewater blew his leg out in a pre-season practice and he wasn't even hit.

 

Regarding Peyton, he lives in Colorado and was a Bronco and loves football. Having said that it makes sense he may show up at a Broncos training camp. Only a Broncos fan would say that makes him more of a Bronco. If he lived here in Indy, he would be here today. It's a moot point because he is way more a Colt anyway as he spent 80% of his career here.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By DougDew · Posted

      If you are relying upon history, does accuracy matter?  I think the reason Smith ended up at RT is because the coaches tried him there out of necessity and he played well, and stayed there due to the coaches wishes.  I don't think that FO guys had much to say about it, because Smith was in fact drafted to be a G, not the RT.  Ballard's own words after day 2 of that draft was that they drafted Smith a bit higher than they had him ranked, because he was the "last remaining starting caliber G on the board".   So it does fit that Smith was not drafted by Ballard or the FO to be a RT...in part because of the measurables and arm length.   Also directing this response to @Matthew Gilbert

      Same. And that's because over time that level of depth eventually decays.

      I don't think players like Davis (and especially Bryan, who I don't think will make the final 53) should impact our draft strategy at all. Not even a little bit. If we like Byron Murphy, figure out what to do with those other guys later. The other versatile guys you mention don't scratch the itch the way Murphy would be expected to -- he should be looked at as a disruptive 3T who plays there every down, not a matchup guy or passing downs guy.    If anything, maybe it's the other way around. The Colts already had a feel for the DTs in draft class and knew they wouldn't get what they want in the draft, so they addressed the position in free agency. And after this weekend, that might help people better understand the strategy at DB and WR...    The bolded really gets at the heart of it. I like Murphy, but I'm not offering him as a great player that you just have to take a chance on. But when it comes to draft strategy, I think taking the best players is the way to go. I'm directly opposed to needs-based drafting, and to passing on a really good prospect because you have backup level veterans already on the roster.

      I suppose Murphy being the next Donald is possible, but I wouldn’t think it’s likely.     As for Smith playing right tackle, I believe I was simply echoing Ballard’s initial viewpoint.  That Smith’s short arms made him an unlikely RT.  And that he had to be talked into it by Morocco Brown and Ed Dodds.   I don’t think I was stating MY personal view.    As for skillset vs measurements.  I think it’s been an issue for all of us because Ballard has such specific requirements for each position.  So we factor that into our judgements.

      Bold predictions for the draft

      By richard pallo · Posted

      Bold prediction?    I will predict either Kwity or Pierce will be traded sometime during the draft.
