2021 Preseason Game 1: Carolina @ Indianapolis 1pm

Seems like one of the most anticipated Colts preseason games in a while. Understandably so, as we have 2 young QBs making their NFL debuts, while battling it out for potential starter minutes. 

 

After a couple days of joint practices, the 2 teams square off in what appears will be a pretty vanilla matchup.

 

By all reports, the joint practices seemed pretty 1 sided. Hopefully that continues today as Panthers are said to not be playing starters.

 

Great day, we've been waiting for this for a while.

I really hope we see Eason and Ehlinger get almost two quarters each. I'm all for protecting guys in preseason, but these two need legitamite game reps, to see if they can even play in this league.

 

Feels like its been forever since watching a colts game. 

Reich said about 1.5 quarters a piece. He can’t protect them. He needs to open the game up to see what they can do.

I'm glad they're finally playing "games" against other teams - I'm looking forward to see how our 2 young QBs match up but will also be cognizant of who is playing when and whether Carolina is playing alot of their defensive starters in relation to how effective each guy looks.

    • Idk?   I think Ballard has a lot more control on how this is disseminated than you are giving him. I'm sure he has final approval, this isn't like the in season NFL hard knock thing.(Which we still controlled what was put out there) This is a team made draft video to get fans hyped.     It did the job for me     I do agree that, that was just a random comment about a guy(being there at #15) they were actually generally talking about in natural conversations and the sound bite was used there. I don't think it was just a comment made to place at the end intentionally. Whether that guy might be there, or is someone who should no doubt be there is the question, and what should we take from it ending that way    And it might not of even been his idea to put that at the end, but when presented how to end it, agreed this is the best way to get the fans talking about it.     Either way it was a great cliff hanger. Like I said it brought about some conversation, so I think it did it's part.
    • I watched the semi final game between Washington and Texas last night and Odunze and Polk just destroyed Texas. Penix had around 400 yards. 
    • I’ll have to search for Hicks’ break-down.  I hadn’t seen much tape of Bowers until a couple of weeks ago when I watched a highlight reel, and that was very impressive.  I’m just nervous about how hard it seems to be to predict TE success…
    • I was thinking a bit about what Ballard said in that clip from "Behind the Colts", about "he's not going to get much bigger". No idea if he was talking about Worthy... but if he is... he's right. Whether Worthy ends up playing at 165 or 176... this is still extremely small and light. Whether he's in the 1st percentile or 5th percentile of athlete's in weight in the league, this doesn't change the type of player and type of worries you would have about him with any significance. So... in a way, I kind of find that conversation a bit pointless. IMO the question should be - okay. he is small... and he will always be small. Can we work with that? And can we live with the risk of injury for that small of a player? And the answer can be no here... I'm not saying we necessarily need to take that risk. 
    • You think the Ed Dodds you see in edited clips here is the same as the Ed Dodds who interviews with teams?   I don’t know you or anyone would think that?      He’s very much respected around the NFL which is why multiple teams ask to interview with them most every year.
