Then why exactly are they on the Covid list? Other than Reich testing positive, I couldn't find the reason for these players being on the list. 

Like I said it could be contact tracing, they may have had close contact with someone who has tested positive recently.

If the colts truly are over 50% that number very well go up once their are roster cuts depending on where the percentages are. If it’s players who are assured a spot they could end up close to 100%.  Maybe once roster bubble guys actually make the team they get it too.

If I'm on the bubble and want to make the team, I get the poke proactively, on my own, way before this point.  It just seems like a smart way to help my chances.

It’s not contract tracing most likely. Players had to start being tested yesterday. It was just because the start of camp. They were most likely positive. Carrie and Rhodes might of been because of contact tracing because they play the same position. Most likely though just a positive test for both.

Elaborate, because I'm not struggling to think of reasons that's an officious, manipulative, not really following the science kinda rule.

 

Sure, if you catch CoVID despite being vaccinated, youve made your best effort to protect the people around you.  You just got unlucky.

 

If you aren't vaccinated you've just proven that you are either lazy, underinformed, or indifferent about posing a health hazard to others.

 

I see very good reasons to treat the two groups differently.  a vaccinated person has tried to do his duty to be as safe as possible to be around, I don't see an equivalency to someone who hasn't.  And that's why the unvaccinated person should be more susceptible to penalty.

There was an Olympic athlete that ended up on the list because he sat behind a person who tested positive.   So it maybe contact tracing.

I always thought the COVID list meant exposure...not necessarily a positive test.

And made him less likely to spread it to others. 

That's a point that really needs to be emphasized more.  The vaccine makes it mugh harder for the virus to propagate in your body and spread from you to others.  even if you develop symptoms, which happens at about 2% of the rate it does among unvaccinated people, you are still far safer to be around than someone who never took steps to protecr yourselves

What if a player is vaccinated and gets the virus and he infects an unvaccinated player who was following protocol. Will the unvaccinated player get punished ?

Yes.  Because the unvaccinated player is a far greater risk to further spread the virus among his own teammates.

 

It doesn't really matter where an unvaccinated person got the virus from, he's as much of a walking bioweapon regardless of origin point.

Well there is the answer 

 

 

 

Yeah I was afraid of that.

 

Sorry dude, the health of a leader isn't a personal decision anymore.  You're there to lead your team into battle, if you can't do that because sometime around Week 10 you're hacking up a lung in some ER, that's not leadership.  Especially if all you had to do to avoid it was get a couple pokes in the arm a few weeks apart

 

Someone earlier was talking about the long term risks of vaccination.  Consider the longterm risks of unvaccination

I am not that worried if Carson isn’t vaccinated. He seems like a guy that will be going to work then just going home to his wife. Hopefully she is smart. 
 

Rivers has nine kids who were in school last year and he avoided the virus.  Carson should be fine. He got pretty detailed about having to be smart during the season so it doesn’t wreck the team. 
 

Paye is vaccinated because he had no mask on.

I think what Kent Sterling says here about players not wanting to share if they are vaccinated is right. Why not use this time to educate why you decided not to get vaccinated. It could be a good convo.

 

 

I can see his point, but I can also see Wentz not wanting to alienate any of his teammates, vaccinated or not. Whether that is Wentz' reason for not going into detail or not is something we will probably never know. Not everyone wants to be a vocal advocate and it looks like Wentz is choosing to keep his decision and his reasons to himself.

For all we know he could be vaccinated. Just using extra mask protection. And like you said not taking a side keeps him neutral so he doesn’t alienate any team mates.

For all your superlatives, it's not a battle either..... You know no more than these players have been informed of, trust me.... They've been provided more info than we have available without doing extensive legwork on our own.... They are an investment, and the investor made sure to have info/drs/scientists on hand.  These guys have made an informed decision.  You and I might not agree with it, but so what.  (I'm fully vaccinated btw) and think everyone probably should be.... But no one cares about what I think either....

I support most peoples decisions on whether or not to get vaccinated.    However, I think that if you are making millions of $$, maybe you should suck it up and get the vaccination so that the team doesn't have to deal with as much crap.  They are putting the team that is paying millions at risk.   

Heck, I got vaccinated to go to Maui for my daughters wedding.   I wish the players would get vaccinated to help the Colts win.

It was pretty much the number one story…..   Yesterday!    Old news.   But thanks anyway! 
 

Figured as much. Probably in one of the many pages of unread training camp stuff. I just looked at the topics under Colts Football.

No worries.   We’ve all done that.  I’ve done it several times.   Sorta comes with the territory.    No biggie.    :thmup:

It was so fun to have football back. I am getting to the point I think where I don’t care who is vaccinated. I can’t control who is. So just going to enjoy football and pray it doesn’t effect the season.

 

Lamar Jackson is now on the covid list again. He has had it twice lol. So expect the unexpected.

Same boat, it doesn't effect me lol. I just can't wait to see some football again haha. At least it seems everyone is in agreement in the thread

I don’t hold any negative feelings towards those who aren’t vaccinated. I wish our guys would get better informed and get the vaccine, but it’s their choice to do so or not. Honestly, I feel like the protocols put in place for those who aren’t vaccinated would maybe wake some of them up knowing it could cost us games, but, again, that’s their decision. Just hope it doesn’t keep us from making the playoffs or beyond.

I don’t know if Keefer is just guessing here or if he knows this as a fact.

 

Maybe Wentz doesn’t want to create any division by answering it.

 

 


I’ve been vaccinated since April but continue to wear a mask indoors because my son is too young to be vaccinated. Nowadays with Delta being so infectious, it makes even more sense to continue wearing a mask indoors. 
 

I don’t know whether Wentz is vaccinated or not. And I understand the perspective of not trying to create division within the team by disclosing his status.

 

However, as a purported leader, it would also make sense to lead by example on an issue that is clearly so divisive and whose impact can make the difference between playing in January.

With their position on a team and the money they are making, I think they should suck it up and get the vaccine.

From the video I’ve seen, Taylor refuses to disclose his status.

If you listen to the entire thing he talked about friends who ended up in bad shape from covid. He said he wants nothing to do with covid and is doing everything possible. He also did not have the mask on his face when talking to the media.  It did seem like he was saying he was vaccinated.

    • Rashee Rice is honestly very good. He's their no1 receiver and a lot of the time outperformed Kelce last year as a rookie. They also have two elite CBs (we don't have one) so that allows them to shut down the passing game (as evident by their defense last year and their run in the playoffs). Mahomes is elite, but Ballard didn't even try to get a QB in the draft until 2023 after Luck left. We can blame it on Reich and all that, but it's a fact. 
    • Nice mock. Most of the players you took, end up with the colts in my mocks,too. Really like it!
    • Does anyone really think that Chief roster is good enough to make the playoffs minus Mahomes? I don't. If it weren't for mahomes, their running backs would scare no one. They would have one reliable pass catcher who be be able to make plays(Kelce). And there defense would suddenly look very ordinary and wear down from an offense that would go three and out way to often(think our offense with Matt Ryan and his ability to not throw the ball downfield). When you have a qb the caliber of Mahomes you can do things differently because Mahomes makes everyone else on the team look better. Question, how many superbowls did Reid win in his career before Mahomes became his qb?
    • Nice mock.  Don't have anything negative to say about it.  Would be happy if Colts got these players.
    • 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
