I don’t know that we had many 4TE sets to be honest. I think Mo, Woods and Granson should be able to get the job done. Can always swing and extra lineman in to block if that’s the case.

 

From what I said you think I'm talking about 4TE sets? Well, I'm not. 

 

What I was inferring is that since we just lost a main TE on our roster, they might sub in another type of receiver in replacement. May that be in 2TE sets, or whatever.

What’s sad as a rookie he is going to be rehabbing instead of working on his skills which will put him behind next season. 

I have just never understood how a well conditioned athlete can blow out an Achilles or even injure their ACL while they are in their 20's. I played several sports in high school and ran for 20+ years on concrete and treadmills when I was my late 30's/early 40's, ran in a marathon and never had a problem like these guys have. Are they doing something wrong, is it training, not stretching, just trying to figure out why some get these injuries?

It’s a 9-month injury.   That puts him back around next May.   He’s young and resilient.   He should be fine.   You’ve already seen how fast Blackmon came back from two major injuries.   Ogletree should be ok as well.

Their not running in a consistent straight line like you did. They are three times as athletic as you and run full speed, cut, break, bend, sudden stops, blocking of incoming linebackers in all sorts of straining positions that compromise the knees and tendons. I promise you its nothing like your amateur running career lol.

Today's athlete's muscle strength and speed has increased dramatically from years past. The ligaments and tendons are not strong enough to support the increase of muscle mass and strength.

  They have the finest professional trainers so i wonder, is your body mass similar to pro football players, did you do a lot of sprinting, did you lift extremely heavy weights like these guys surely do, and did you do a lot of hard cutting as they do?

  I'm thinking they put much more stress on their joints and connective tissue.

 I would think that they did not properly stretch and take care of their injuries as young athletes so that it could be the source of later bigger injury.

 My cousin was an all-state 300 lb player and by the end of high school he had many broken fingers, an ankle, and played through lots of other injury.

 He would tell you that he was within the norm of what happens in the land of the giants. Post college physicals must look interesting.

Hes going to be a really good player. Standing next to Jelani Woods on that little Behind The Colts preseason show he seemed to be a hair taller than Jelani. Didnt realize how big bro is!

He's listed at 6'5 and Wood 6'7 so one of those numbers is off, could be both ..maybe Ogletree 6'6 1/2 and Woods 6'6 ?

Are we assuming he was going to start over MAC? How is he a “main” TE? He’d probably be listed as TE number 3-4 on the depth chart.

Don't know but I think he's bigger than 6. 5"


For whatever it’s worth….  At the combine Woods was measured at 6’7” and an 1/8.

 

Ogletree was measured at his Pro Day at 6’5” and a 1/4. 
 

Pictures can be deceiving.

    • Any news on the attempted talks with Blackmon?   Worst case scenario:  we don't sign Blackmon, or any other safety FA, miss out on what few guys there are in this very non-deep safety draft, and wind up going into the season with Cross and Thomas as our best two guys.  Ewwww.
    • My follow up is about what you think is the most cost-efficient way to acquire the needed players to make the defense work as designed.    As to your point about risk, I guess... If you think specific DE prospects just aren't that good, that's one thing. I'm definitely against propping up a prospect just because he plays a position of perceived need. But I would think that if the Colts take a DE at #15, they see him as a potential game changing pass rusher, and the expectation is for him to exceed what the guys on the roster have shown so far. No one can know for sure, but that's the nature of the draft.   At corner, I just think that a fundamental reason why the Colts prefer their zone heavy scheme is because it's easier to find corners who can excel at zone coverage. So there's less of a premium on the position in this scheme, and that's by design. I also don't think the top 4-5 corners in this class fit Ballard's preferred profile. (Side point: This is not conventional thinking, but I think the order of importance in this defense is 3T, Edge, Will, FS, then CB. I think the objective is to take away big plays, funnel routes to the middle, and have rangy playmakers at Will and FS who can create turnovers. I'm not saying that's how I would build a defense, but I think that's the intention. Which also influences my thinking on Ballard's preferences in the draft.)    The scheme element doesn't necessarily apply at WR, but I think the value at WR favors taking one on Day 2, and I think Ballard's appetite for second round WRs is well established. I'd be open to drafting a WR at #15, but I don't think the Colts will do it.   So if I was an oddsmaker, I'd favor the Colts going DE or DT at #15, just based on how I think the top of the draft will fall, and the players available. I think most fans prefer corner or WR, mostly because of perceived need, but I don't see that happening. Nothing would shock me, though.
    • Ballard on Free Agency:   “No doubt we looked into free agency in totality,” Ballard said. “I mean, we looked at everybody. It kind of worked out where it ended up being a lot of our own guys, which are all good players.”
    • I know you're joking, but I hope they do sign an older vet for a year.  They young guys have so little experience, they need guidance.  I was hoping it would have been GIlly or Nelson but there's no noise there.  I think Gilmore may be headed back to Carolina.   I'd rather sign a veteran than spend the first pick on a CB.  It's a crap shoot and we haven't had the best luck.  JuJu has yet to prove himself.     I'm not buying the hype on Mitchell until he starts facing NFL talent.  The MAC isn't exactly a hotbed for WRs.
    • I’ll take Ravens or 49rs. either one is fine with me.
