lol welll if he can run block better than constanzo with a slight drop off in pass protection I’ll take it we need to run it nonstop to keep rivers from throwing those crucial untimely picks

Huh?   Castonzo is considered a very good run blocker....

I wasnt discrediting AC but those kinds of blocks he was making in the run game was excellent ofc if we were grading them by how consistently they do it I’d have to go with AC bc idk much about JV

He did grab a shirt in the 3rd quarter, and the JAX defender raised his arm to alert officials. That certainly looked more offensive than Glowinski's imaginary 'block in the back' vs Tuitt. JV released the shirt, maybe just in time, or maybe JV knows how to release his grip in time.

He does not look fat.

Jared may be a blessing in disguise. He played for the Packers in the frozen tundra and knows what it takes to play in the cold/ bad weather. He is a great source for telling players how to deal with the weather conditions that are thrown at them. Go Colts!!!

I'm definitely a blessing in disguise! :) :thmup:

2 points on him:

 

1.   Green Bay’s LT (Bitoni?) went down for season right after we picked him up. Not a stretch to believe he’d be on GB’s roster now had we not called him.   VERY fortunate for us.

 

2.  Was just reading a Colt/Bill matchup  on CBSSports.com and they mentioned AC and Clark being out as well as Holden.   Said Smith would be at RT but that CHAZ GREEN would start at LT.   No mention of Veldeer even being on roster.  As i see nothing on this forum, i’ll assume CBS missed him.

 

I’ll add a 3:  He looked agressive , smart, and strong last game., especially run blocking.   Heres hoping it wasnt because it was the jags.

 

  I’d feel alot better if Holden was healthy.  For depth at the very least.

    • Any chance we take a OT with the 1st pick?
    • FWIW:   Today I listened to a guy from The Athletic interviewed on ESPN.   (Darren Lee). He said interviewing GMs at the combine, almost all view DeJean as a safety except two teams.  He thinks the Colts and Jags view DeJean as a corner.     I don’t know this reporter, never seen him before, so I can’t speak to his credibility.  But it sounds like he did a lot of homework.     And I appreciate your view on pro day times being reliable or not.   I’m always skeptical on pro days.  But I thought DeJean helped himself on his testing.  
    • I could care less what he does. Been too long ago.
    • I’m with ya..     I'm not sure we’re going WR at 15 either.  I think we could go DE, and it’s possible we could go CB as well.   Gosh,  I love Mitchell and really like Arnold as well.  And if we trade back I would be fine with McKinstry or a DE on defense or one of the 2nd tier of WRs that could be there in the 20’s.  So many options.   I keep reminding myself, every pick could produce a surprise, because I think Ballard will have so many options to choose from.      Im also not sure Ballard will use all 7 rounds.   He finished in 5 rounds in his first draft 2017,  and he finished in 6 rounds in 2019.   Maybe he uses all 7 rounds, but I’m not confident we will.     One week from tonight.   
    • My Final Mock Draft   15. Brock Bowers, TE,  6’4 245 Lbs, Georgia - Blue Chip Prospect.  Rare combination of acceleration, speed and body control. Hands-catcher operating with good coordination and technique. With Pittman on the outside Bowers will control the middle of the field and seams. AR Will develop much quicker into a top 10 QB with Bowers as his TE.  46. TJ Tampa, CB, 6’1, 190 Lbs, Iowa State - Elite physical traits. Plays with good positioning throughout routes. Very good in press Coverage and Zone. Expect him to compete in training camp and be named a starter.      82. Calen Bullock, S, 6’2 190 lbs, USC - Elite physical traits. He has the range to play single-high safety, the athleticism to line up over the slot and the ball skills to chalk up impressive on-ball production. Expect him to compete in training camp for the starting S position.    117. Tez Walker,  WR,  6’2 195 Lbs, UNC - Elite speed with very good body control. Career average of 30.7 yards on touchdown receptions. Gives us very good depth and competition with Pierce.    151. Grayson Murphy, DE, 6’3 260 Lbs, UCLA - Shows impressive quickness and change of direction to help turn speed to power as a rusher. Good depth.    191.  Keaton Bills, G, 6’5 320 Lbs, Utah - Cerebral player, quick to react to twists and stunts up front. Very good depth.
