So am I assuming that all the players in the pressers wearing Masks are the non-vaccinated ones? Not that I really care what choice their choose, it’s theirs. I’m just curious if that’s why some have them and some don’t ?

I think that would be correct. Of course, vaccinated players could still choose to wear masks, but I think unvaccinated players would definitely have to.

Well the ones not wearing them said they were vaccinated. Khari Willis didn’t really say. Hilton said he was on the fence. Taylor I am not sure. He was wearing it but not on his face. His comments make me think he is. He talked about having friends who had a hard time with covid. Said he wants to keep covid far away. So it sounded like he was just taking extra protection.

Yeah, I'd definitely say TY is not vaccinated that's a pretty safe assumption.

He basically said he wasn’t. Said he was in the middle which meant on the fence still.

I just want to say I am falling more in love with Kenny Moore everyday.  He is probably my favorite player on the roster right now.  Him or Hines.  

I love how he has embraced Indy and really made it his home. You would never know he plays football with as small as he is. 
 

Franklin made a really good point in his. The colts play arizona on Christmas Day in arizona. One of the reasons he got vaccinated was so his fiancé could come spend Christmas with him while they are there. Non of the non vaccinated players will be able to have their families with them on Christmas in AZ.

The one thing about being vaccinated for the player is if they test positive and have no symptoms they can come back after two negative tests in a 24 hr period. So there is always a chance a vaccinated player will not miss a game.

 

Blackmon and Pittman are both wearing masks as they entered. We will see if they are unvaccinated.

 

I think players may believe that since the team didn’t have issues last season, why do we need vaccinated. They may think there will be none this season.

Being 80% vaxxed isn’t possible.  You can be zero, 50 or 100 that’s it.  
 

As for Nelson no idea.  Honestly I don’t really care who is or isn’t.  I get why the media has to ask and why fans want to know but I have no problem with a player who doesn’t want to answer.

Tomorrow we will have a training camp day one practice thread and any player intreviews tomorrow can go there.

 

Pretty sure Taylor is vaccinated even though he had a mask. He said he wants nothing to do with covid and it sounded like he is just taking extra precaution. He did not have it on his mouth when he talked. Some of them like Campbell said he still needs the second shot so he still has a mask on. So some of the masked players have been vaxed or have had one shot. There are probably about 20 players who are still in the process of getting the second shot. On the colts AP they have a bunch of pictures and you can see who is wearing them and who isn’t from the players they showed.

Kelly mask

Smith mask

paye no mask

cox mask

Pinter no mask

Tell mask 

Pittman mask 

I didn’t recognize some of the other players.

He is now saying his info might of been wrong lol. Maybe for the Colture guys should stay out of the insider business lol.

 

Oops. Yesterday, on the Vikings site that I follow, I wrote that I thought Wentz was vaccinated. That was based on what I have read here. (Wentz is well liked by Vikings fans who know him from North Dakota. He grew up a Vikings fan.)

 

I guess I was wrong about him being vaccinated. Me: :facepalm:

    • That's fair.   So, let's say AR pans out - are we serious Super Bowl contenders then? As the roster is right now, with a high-level AR?   I don't think so. I think our roster - disregarding the QB - is a ways behind other contenders. And even worse, I think the roster is just built wrong. This year Ballard has spent a lot of money making sure our defense can defend the run while everyone else are building to stop the passing game. Everything Ballard does is just contradictory to what works in the modern NFL.   So what about the other 9 guys I mentioned?   Wilkins would've been a Buckner level DT to seriously improve the pass rush up the middle. Huff had at least 28% more pressures than ANY of our guys (Buckner highest) while playing 161 FEWER pass rush snaps. And he was signed for a hair over $17m/year and you have "no idea why I'd think Ballard should have considered the 4 big name players who Ballard didn’t pursue"?   Do you think Geno Stone and Frankie Luvu are "bright lights"? I think they are affordable players who would improve this roster in areas of weakness. Same with the other 7 affordable guys I mentioned. The times the McLeod signings work out are so far between it's laughable, but the few who do workout somehow always make people forget the tens of 1 year jags he signs that don't.   We do know, but we also all see the results and that's what people want to see change.   I respect your opinion on this and I don't want to come off as harsh towards you (or anyone else). 👍  But I very much disagree that what Ballard is doing is working.
    • Kind of my own assessment as well with this year's RB Class.  What one lacks another has and so on. Not one complete back and maybe one worthy of being drafted on Day 2, none on Day 1. 
    • I think this is probably deserving of it's own thread, but I'll leave this initial response here. I'm happy to continue the conversation in another thread.   There are a couple of pertinent details that I don't think you're considering.   First, signing bonuses are due upon signing. They aren't necessarily paid upon signing. This article suggests signing bonuses can be paid over the course of 12-18 months. Some signing bonuses are paid in installments. So just because a player contract includes a $20m signing bonus doesn't mean the team is paying the player $20m the day he signs; the player might not receive that $20m for several months, a year, or longer. The pay dates for signing bonuses are almost never reported.   Second, a more comprehensive look at the contracts you mentioned would include roster bonuses. For example, while Buckner's contract did not include a signing bonus, it did include an $11m roster bonus. Spotrac shows the roster bonus was due to be paid on 3/20/2020, which was four days after Buckner's contract was signed. For cash flow purposes, there isn't necessarily a difference. (Ryan Kelly, $10m roster bonus; Kenny Moore, $8m; Mo Alie-Cox, $5.1m.)   Take a closer look at this. Buckner signed a four year extension for $84m, on top of his 5th year option, for a total value of five years, $96.4m. No signing bonus, but the $11m roster bonus, plus a base salary of $12.4m in 2020. The total cash paid to Buckner in the first year was $23.4m. The same day the Colts signed Buckner, the Niners signed Arik Armstead. His contract was five years, $85m, and included a $17.5m signing bonus (no details on the pay dates of the signing bonus). His base salary in 2020 was $2.5m. So the cash paid to Armstead in the first year was $20m, and that's assuming all of his signing bonus was paid out in 2020. In both cases, the Year 1 cash was about 24% of the total value of the contract.   Another example from the same year: Myles Garrett signed for five years, $125m, and his signing bonus and salary totaled $22m, less than 18% of the total value. The previous year, Frank Clark signed with the Chiefs for five years, $104m, with a $19m signing bonus, and a salary + incentives of $1.3m, totaling $20.3m in Year 1 cash, less than 20% of the total value.    There's also the funding rule, which requires that deferred money and fully guaranteed money is placed in escrow when the contract is signed, minus $15m. So if the Colts were offsetting lower signing bonuses with a higher percentage of guaranteed money, they would still need to fund the guaranteed money upfront. So there's really no cash flow benefit to the team; in fact, it would potentially cost the team more to fund the larger guarantees.    All of this put together, I don't think that the Colts are avoiding signing bonuses for cash flow reasons. I'm sure Irsay doesn't have the cash flow of the Rams or Broncos, etc., but I don't think the Colts are using contract structure to help cash flow. 
    • Nothing contradicts anything.   J’Ville if bad reckless spending and it got them one year of success out of 10.   No contradictions here.     As for Ballard, as he said at his year ender, the problem hasn’t been the FA spending or the roster.   The problem has been not being to get the quarterback right.  If Wentz had worked out, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.      I have no idea why you’d think Ballard should have considered the 4 big name players who Ballard didn’t pursue.   They went for HUGE money.   Ballard has zero interest in those guys.  As a fan who follows football closer than most I had zero interest in any of them.   And I had zero interest BEFORE they signed and it was expected they’d go for less.   I didn’t want them at most any price they would’ve wanted.    Of your longer list….  Frankie Luvu had some interest for me.  Maybe Geno stone.  Otherwise I believe there’s a list of safeties who are still available.   Remember Rodney McCloud?   Ballard signed him and he had perhaps the best year of his career.  Graded in the low 80’s for 1.7 mill.   That’s a Ballard signing.   People forget them.   They want bright lights and shiny new toys.     We should all know by now that’s not Ballard’s way.  
    • So spending to cover flaws works now? Seems to contradict you comment about the Jaguars.   To be clear, I don't want or expect Ballard to sign $35m/year players left and right. But there are plenty mid-range (pay-wise) guys who sign with other teams EVERY year that could've improved this roster.   This year OTOH: Frankie Luvu Sheldon Rankins Geno Stone Patrick Queen Jeremy Chinn Kevin Byard Jordan Fuller Sean Murphy-Bunting Kamren Curl   And several more expensive guys: Arik Armstead Christian Wilkins Bryce Huff Xavier McKinney Every year guys like these pass us by.
