Makes him harder to sack

I doubt it. There are diminishing returns after some point. And his best attribute is his speed and athleticism at this size.

I actually don't mind it because he can take more hits if need be and probably be more ok than before.

I don't agree. After some point, adding more weight becomes a negative. He was plenty big enough already.

AR has the personality and tools to be one of the biggest superstars in the league. All he needs now is to be good at football

So anyway,   besides the obvious JT drama, I’ll recap my notes and observations from todays practice that I saw.     1: It was HOT 2: Richardson and Minshew split reps wi

I don't think adding 10 pounds will hurt him, just makes him stronger. Most QB's add 5-10 pounds when they enter the NFL anyway. He still can run a 4.4

I agree 10 pounds undss isn't much because off his frame and strength and conditioning coaches in the NFL. They  will train him so he can adapt to the minor weight gain with no loss of speed and/or athleticism.

They won’t. We probably won’t even know going into week one to keep it on the down low.

That was the least part of that tweet I care about.

 

Definitely not naming a starter any time soon.

Pump the breaks on this.  The Colts aren’t going to alter their plans based on one week of training camp, let alone before he’s even played in a pre-season game or even had a padded practice for that matter.  It’s easy to look good in training camp.  Looking good in a real game or even a pre-season is whole different monster.  I am not saying AR can’t get there but calling for it now is way too soon.  

 

I feel the plan right now is to start Minshew and sprinkle AR in slowly increasing the amount of time AR gets until he takes over as the starter.

AR has already added 10 pounds.   He used to be listed at 234.   He’s now 244, bigger than Luck.   The change happened at the Combine. 
 

Why does Richardson need 10 more pounds?   
 

NOTE:   I’ve scrolled more and now seen the tweet saying AR is now 255.

Honestly... I don't think I love this. He doesn't need to get bigger and heavier. 


I’m with you.   I’m hoping he put on weight with the intention of sweating it off during training camp.   At some point the returns do diminish.

Just saw this. Haven’t listened yet so don’t know what he talks about.

 

 

Finally got to this.

 

 

Pretty solid interview and questions.

 

Guy on the mower kept getting to close.

My hunch is Steichen will make that call in about 4-5 weeks.  After the pre-season games.  

I was thinking this as well, but it’s not doing any of the rest of the 1st team any favors by the QBs splitting reps. But I guess waiting until after the first two preseason games maybe would make sense.

We will likely know by end of next week. Pretty sure that the plan has always been to throw away this year as a training year

not sure if this was posted yet.

 

Looked like Jones slipped at the top, but recovered nicely. Been nice to get the INT, but the slip at the top probably threw it off.

 

 

Richardson on the throw.

 

See discussion about it but not the video.

At some point SS is going to have to crap or get off the pot.

 

Give all the number 1 reps to AR !!

I don't think they make that call until at the very least the first joint practices are over and he's looked solid against another team too. But so far so good. He's been checking all the boxes since he's been in the building. If you told all those "AR is the rawest prospect in history" draft experts after the draft that AR would be splitting QB1 reps and looking like he belongs, not overwhelmed, making plays, having good command of the offense by training camp, they would have thought you are crazy. He's progressing well. Hope it continues not just during training camp, but during the season and in the following years :)

      AD Mitchell Not Signed

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      I have read numerous scouts and they had him ranked as the  #3 WR in the draft based on talent. I loved the pick but let's not fool ourselves, there is something that made him drop to the 2nd. I am not going to say it is character and/or lack of production. Ballard can go on his rant all he wants, but there was a reason. If he succeeds and becomes a legit #1, then we will wont care. My guess is if he fails to live up the hype, then we  it will leak out why he never reached his full potential. At this point, I couldn't care a less, as I loved the pick at the time and it was the Colts taking a chance with some questions about Mitchell. The one thing I did not like was Ballard going on his rant is he should have just kept quiet and said we like he player. Him going on a rant leaves him open to criticism if for example Mitchell does not work out and say it comes out that he has a poor attitude, work ethic etc.

      Your surprise opening day starter

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Actually,  I don't think you can really say who is the #2. I think, they actually want Pittman to be relegated to that role as they are hoping that Mitchell or Pierce can finally assume that take the top of the defense  #1 wr.  I don't put to much stock in Mitchell unseating Downs as they play to different positions. Downs is the slot and Mitchell is hopefully that legit #1 that the Colts have never had. So in saying, Mitchell will not be unseating Downs, as they will be asked to do different things. I think the Colts are just hoping to have that legit #1 guy and then everyone else can play the role they were drafted for. If Mitchell or Pierce break out, you will see the ball spread out to the remainder of the WR's and TE's.

      Interesting Note on Last 2 Colts Receivers Drafted High

      By csmopar · Posted

      Keep in mind, with drops, it has always been very subjective to whether it was a “drop” or not. Which is why the rates vary so much

      Wide Receivers are getting paid!

      By NFLfan · Posted

      That is about how much I heard he might get. I am glad it is over and we are not waiting for the other shoe to drop (leave in FA or choose not to play).   Now, all the pressure is on him to perform
