I personally know people who have been hit hard by this disease. Some were in the hospital for over 3 weeks... Some lost their lives. And a good portion of them were healthy and not that old. 
 

This disease is real. I can’t fathom why some aren’t taking this more serious. The reason we are doing the things we are doing is because this is an unknown virus. We barely know much about it still. It could end up being less lethal than the flu, and if that’s the case it’s great news. But we don’t know yet. 
 

It’s not about fear mongering. It’s about listening to science and facts. I’m listening to the doctors and nurses. Not the politicians on either side of the coin. 

People compare it to the flu and have the position of let it run its course.  Let the chips fall where they may kind of attitude. The reason this is different is because Covid is highly contagious way more than the flu. If we did business as usual, the health care system would never be able to keep up. U would have line  ups in emergency rooms. It would get to a point where people would be turned away to simply die at home. I would say take America for example. If we did not take measures what would #'s look like? Currently there are 1.5 million cases with 90,000 dead. I believe if measure were not taken the number could be 10 times that if not way more.

If they do have fans, please please improve the accuracy of those contactless temperature checks, they are a joke. My chiropractor's office uses one and I always end up reading 94 degrees F. :dunno:

 

It is hard to trust those, IMO.

I seen that the NFL VP said until they are told otherwise they are planning to have full stadiums. 

 

It seems the virus is fading  a bit and they are figuring things out. Places like Florida are letting fans into raceways ect. Seems we are moving towards to at least having fans at some capacity. I think we will see players reporting soon. Hopefully we have a mini camp in a couple weeks.

This is all going to come crashing down. I doubt sport leagues willcontinue for much longer when they do try and play out a season. 

I can’t rwmsmber what sport or country but they started back up and have only had 3 cases out of 3k.  Everything is moving in the right direction for TC to start on time.  Players won’t be playing sick like they might with the flu. With testing and precautions I feel optimistic they will be able to play without wide spread infections. We have knowledge so the chances of a player playing or being in the facility while sick is pretty low. With all these protest if there isn’t a spike you can bet they will probably even start with fans. If there is no spike after all this mess there’ is no reason to not have fans.

I disagree big time. I predict a disaster if sport teams are allowed to have fans in stadiums.

Flu plus Covid-19 for the second wave is what concerns me given the timing of the football season, if fans are allowed back in, even at 50%. 

 

Just the players and coaches and their families, there is a greater chance for constant monitoring and having a successful season from start to finish, IMO.

If there is not a spike in infections/hospitalizations after all these protests of hundreds of thousands of people gathering and literally on top of each other then there is no reason to not have full football stadiums in Sept IMO.

    • In this mock, I drafted defense early, then went with best fit / BPA approach.  Mitchell helps solidify the CB room.  Cooper is compared to The Maniac (that would be awesome if true).  Jenkins for depth on DL.  OC from Wisc to replace Kelly in a year or 2.  I'm a fan of UofL Cardinals, so had to pick Guerendo.  And Ford would replace MAC while on a rookie contract.  What do you guys think?   15. Quinyon Mitchell, CB Toledo Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 195 lbs |RAS: 9.84 Strengths - Can click and close and undercut passes in an instant with his elite recovery speed - Proven ball-hawk with six interceptions and 37 pass breakups over past two years - Energized short-area mover with torrid foot speed and effervescent corrective twitch - Adept processor in off-man and zone, who can instantly trigger on route breaks - Has the frame, targeted physicality, agility, and fluidity to dictate reps in press-man - Has the versatility to play the boundary or the slot in man, off-man, or zone coverage Weaknesses - Doesn’t quite have elite fluidity and sink when bending to close ground on hitches - Can be baited into making premature hip transitions by nuanced WRs at stems - Relatively inexperienced in press-man, and can improve upper-lower synergy - Can keep shoring up his tackling form as a support defender   51. Edgerrin Cooper, LB Texas A&M Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 230 lbs |RAS: 9.34 Linebackers who naturally, and consistently, make plays, are impossible to replicate. They can run a 4.7 40-yard dash and still be valuable because they process information at lightning speed and are innate playmakers. Edgerrin Cooper is that player, but with outstanding athleticism and length. That length allows him to wrangle ball carriers with an incredibly high hit rate. He knifes through blockers and consistently makes plays around the line of scrimmage, while also providing a bump as a pass rusher. Dalton Miller   82. Kris Jenkins, DT Michigan Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 299 lbs |RAS: 8.92 Being the son of a former NFL All-Pro, it’s no surprise that Jenkins has some of the most enthralling tools in the class. He’s an incredibly explosive athlete off the snap, both laterally and vertically, and has suffocating strength at the point of attack. Going further, with his burst, twitch, and mass, Jenkins can levy impressive amounts of power into his attacks, and as he trends up with his hand usage and energy efficiency, it’s exciting to think about the potential that remains unearthed. -Ian Cummings   103. Jermaine Burton, WR Alabama Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 196 lbs |RAS: 9.54   117. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S Texas Tech Height: 5 - 10 |Weight: 197 lbs |RAS: 8.87   151. Tanor Bortolini, OC Wisconsin Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 303 lbs |RAS: 9.79   158. Javion Cohen, OG Miami (FL) Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 324 lbs |RAS: N/A   202. Isaac Guerendo, RB Louisville Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 221 lbs |RAS: 9.98   219. Brevyn Spann-Ford, TE Minnesota Height: 6 - 6 |Weight: 260 lbs |RAS: 7.58  
    • I've seen talk in Colts forums (not just this one) that says the Colts need to stack talent and not just picks.  So this mock addresses that strategy.  Traded back a few times to get 6 picks in the top 85.  Opinions?   26. Adonai Mitchell, WR Texas 54. Trey Benson, RB Florida State 56. Ruke Orhorhoro, DT Clemson 57. Payton Wilson, LB NC State 82. Max Melton, CB Rutgers 85. Will Shipley, RB Clemson 234. Prince Pines, OG Tulane 2025 DAL 6th   Didn't realize I had drafted 2 RBs until done, so, probably wouldn't have done that.  But Shipley was the best talent available at that pick.  And he is a great receiving RB, which could've helped vs Texans in the last game.
    • Absolutely... Ballard just is very high on... himself. He likes the guys he has liked before and there is noone that likes his guys like he likes them(thus he's the one resigning them)...   My soccer team is in deep financial trouble and can't afford much of any new signings of substance so when asked by reporters about his roster our coach said "If you can't have what you like, you better like what you have". I feel like that with the Colts. Except there is no financial reason for the Colts to limit themselves like that. It's purely philosophical approach by the GM. 
    • I think with the positioning in the draft will be fine with or without him . I’d like to lock up a FA saftey while we wait . 
    • You can’t have it all looks like a WR , OL,DL,QB heavy draft .
