Thanks.  Reich has talked about 2 minute drills being critical. He needs to get some TD though.

In fairness to Jacob there were no timeouts and the clock was running when it wasn't supposed to.

 

It was only a field goal because the time ran out.

We still have one player to cut today.  Maybe Hundley now that Carson is practicing again.

It very well could be unless they want him to play a portion of the game Friday. 

 

He's only gotten a handful of reps these last two days.

I think we're down to 79 players right now. Below the 80 we need to be at. At least according to the Colts website. I think Ballard may have cut Pineiro early to give him a chance to get a job elsewhere.

A cut must have slipped through the cracks then.

Not putting you down, but that sounds more like a fantasy world.  Sam isn't as fast as Hill, and D's will know they only have to pass defend a portion of the field.  I'll be surprised if they even set up Hill type packages for him.

I’ll never forget when Taysom Hill absolutely shook Pierre Desir against the Saints on Monday night a couple years ago.

That never happened.  That game never happened.  That night never happened.  
 

(At least in my mind)

If it was me I would want to give reps to the QB’s that will make the team at this point.  Reich knows best though.

I agree.  Hundley isn't making the cut, let him go now.

Sam tested with slightly better velocity than wentz.  But by all means keep throwing that out there. 


Not that it matters, but Wentz threw a 57 at the combine.  I never saw Sam’s numbers.  What I read was that he has good velocity when he can set his feet and fire away.  
 

But, to me, the eye test shows that Sam just doesn’t have an NFL arm.  The only two one passses he threw were 50/50 balls against backups.  They were probably picks in a real game. 
 

I love the guy just because of the heart and competitiveness he showed in college.  IMHO, I think his future is in coaching.

One quarterback throws just about every throw has hard as he can the other throws with touch. Glad the coaching staff disagrees with you. Sam threw a 58 at his pro day.

 He has long arms , so lessons the height issue. 

 

So does Kenny Moore. From what I recall, they have similar wingspans. And as good as Moore is in the slot, he can't play the boundary. It's not just height, it's also strength.

 

I think Rodgers can definitely have a role on the defense, but I doubt it will be on the boundary. But who knows.

Respectfully, I would have to disagree here. 

 

The throw that Sam made to Vaughns was over the shoulder of Vaughs, away from the defender. It was placed only where the receiver had a chance to make the catch. The same scenario on the throw to Black. you can see those throws in this video.

 

 

I also think that the pass from Eason was more of a 50/50 ball than any throw made by Ehlinger, however, this could be my own bias on how I see things. You can see that video here.

I have to say, all the talk of whether we keep Ehlinger or not or risk him on PS amuses me.

The Colts front office isn't blind.  Nor stupid.  They know Wentz's injury history.  They know that at any moment Wentz could stub his toe, or get the flu, or a splinter, or a mosquito bite, and be on the injury list for a month.  They need Eason to be available, and they need Ehlinger to back him up.  All three QB's are going to make the 53-man squad.  All three of them need to.

Let's not forget that on consecutive plays versus the Bills in the playoff loss he picked Josh Allen, playing boundary corner......both plays were negated by penalties on other defensive teammates.....

 

He's been playing boundary corner his whole life as an undersized corner, he's used to it and if he can cover, who cares about his strength.

 

Kenny Moore played more FS/SS in college and roamed around the field a lot, as he does in his role as a Nickel Back for us - again, he was used to playing like that.

      AR has similar if not superior physical traits of AL and I just saw something on his ability to recall is similar to PM.

      Ballard does have thick skin.  You just choose to not to see it that way.      Ballard is the face and voice of the franchise.  Irsay’s health does not make him an effective public face of the franchise.  Frank was OK, Steichen less so.   So Ballard does the lion share of teams PR.    And Ballard has always said he’d rather the fans be angry than be apathetic.  Shows they care.  Of course, you know this but choose not to acknowledge it because it undercuts your distorted view of CB.   I don’t know what CBs relationship is with Kevin Bowen who I like.   So let’s say it’s complicated.   But on balance I think Ballard has a good relationship with the local media.  I’d be surprised if he didn’t.  He is loved by national media.  He’s got a personality and a sense of humor.  I’m sorry you don’t care for it.    Of course you have yet to acknowledge that you and Moose literally said that Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy.   For a man in your profession, THAT is a whopper.  Why you thought that is a mystery?   By the way, hope you notice that at least twice I’ve now said you’re smarter than you show.  There’s a compliment in there somewhere if you let yourself see it.    But I think you’ve painted yourself into a corner.  You come across as someone who’d rather be right about Ballard being bad even if it means the Colts do poorly than be wrong and have the Colts do well.    The reason Irsay hasn’t fired Ballard for the teams record is because Irsay approved of what CB was doing in real time.   Believe what you want but Irsay has done the GM job himself so he knows how it goes.  And he has chosen to keep Ballard.  Unless you don’t like Irsay too, you might want to consider that.  Life is more fun being optimistic than negative.     Sorry this went so long.

      I think it’s backwards.  MPJ is definitely Reggie based on skill set and tendencies.  AD can become Marvin with his explosiveness.   Raimann - I think he’ll be Castonzo.  Ol reliable, underappreciated, majority won’t realize how good he was until he’s gone.   AD - if he becomes what we think he can, Ocho Cinco.  Cocky, competitive, but will perform his butt off and will dance every chance he gets lol   Jelani Woods - Jimmy Graham, fast for his size, walking mismatch.

      speaking of which, I’m about to win some good money.  I bet that brown would be FMVP, the Celtics would win the series, and it last at least 4 games.
