JT probably wants one of those $100 bills Irsay hands out.

Irsay handed me one of those $100 dollar bills a few years ago. Irsay is a very generous person when it comes to the fans in person.

We will probably keep 6.

 

Not if we keep 4 TEs

As long as Richardson is doing well they do need to start increasing Richardsons snaps with the ones.

Deforest will be live on set after practice. NFL Network

 Thanks. I know. 

 It was intended for Jared who pushed Smith for the 53. I would have bet he wasn’t well informed regarding the competition, doesn't appreciate that everyone has a clean slate, or that we couch reporters know next to nothing as to how well our marginal competitors are fitting in per the coaching staff. 

 Probably best I put him on ignore for awhile. He easily and often annoys me. It's a personal problem of course. lol

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Ballard probably telling Irsay to fix this Taylor thing lol.

 It is POSSIBLE, that he is better off sitting with the QB coach reviewing the plays he ran and getting coached up in the moment. It could possibly help him be even better prepared when he next is put out there.

 But you would have a good feel for what is best.

That’s a really great point.

I have been thinking they will probably come up with a compromise. Maybe increasing his pay this year and adding a year so he isn’t franchised in the spring.

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

 

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

How the heck they going to get him back on field if they aren’t discussing some kind of renegotiated contract.

 

 

[w87r]

Steichen interview finally about to happen on NFL Network.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wrong 

[cjwhiskers]

Pittman and AR will be a good fit. You have a guy with AR's arm strength you want big WRs with strong hands that can catch rockets on the cross. I think our WRs/TEs actually compliment AR incredibly well. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

There is a good twitter space going on right now with drake Walley from horseshoe huddle.

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 with the 1s from what I saw. Not sure of the total number break down but to the eye test, Minshew had a better day. I did notice that when Minshew was in, there were a lot more short routes called than the deep verticals when AR was in. I did see both Shane and another coach, didn’t recognize him from the distance, after ARs first series, once again intensely working on ARs foot work. 
3: It was HOT
4: AR has some power for sure and can drop it in deep. However, I noticed his ball placement on the 1-10 yard stuff appeared to almost always be high. This led to a couple deflected passes and passes tipping off finger tips. I’m glad we have BIG WRs and TEs, we will need them. AR looked better yesterday I thought vs today. Which isn’t unsurprising for a rookie. But he seems to be handling it well. Minshew definitely won the day. Sam E isn’t beating Minshew out for QB2. 

5:WRs Pittman and Pierce route running does look improved vs last season. 

6: It’s Hot
7: Zach Moss vs JT, Moss isn’t a home run threat but he does look serviceable will know more when pads go back on.

8: Our new Place kicker has a LEG!

9:CBs looked better today and not as lost as yesterday. Hope that continues. 
10: it was HOT
11: our Edge guys look good in drills. can’t wait to see the pads on. 
12: Did I mention it was HOT!!!!

 

Lastly, Shane is INTENSE on the field. I mean INTENSE !!! The difference between him and Reich and even Pagano is HUGE. But one thing that stood out, he’s a lot more active on both sides of the ball and with all players when he sees things he doesn’t like. Or even things he does.

I know it’s a hot button topic, but can we put all the JT tweets and such in the JT thread so we can discuss the rest of training camp ? @w87r

Just wondering any update on Leonard?  I know some media have been posting his snap counts.  Maybe I missed it?

He seems to be fully healthy. Practiced again today. He is taking most all snaps. We will see what happens when pads go on Monday. 

 

Alec  Pierce had another great day today. He is going to have a great year.

There will be some national media on Indy tonight. Daniel Jeremiah is there.

 

 

I ended up getting a selfie with Rapaport just before he went and broke the Taylor news. He seemed like a chill guy and was cool for my nephew

My Fiancée and I were talking at it tonight and we're like it's actually nice out here. Been 102 in st louis this week. We were much happier by this

He's been slowly more active and seems to be moving well, was able to dive a bit

Yeah I was just curious what his ratio of snaps was today.  Hopefully he’s cleared for contact soon.  Even if he is I doubt we see much of him until the season opener.

While I am still worried about the RG spot I think the line is going to bounce back this year.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

 

[GoColts8818]

What I am curious about is what’s going on with Pittman’s contract?  Did Ballard address that at all the other day in his presser?  Did anyone even ask about that?  I am wondering if Ballard is quietly negotiating something with him while all the Taylor chaos is going on.

I don't think he gets an extension this year either. Need to see him in new system as well

He's probably wanting $25m a year.

Ballard did not address his contract but he talked about him like he is Ballards favorite son. What’s interesting when talking Taylor he said twice we have new coaches ect. Never said that when talking Pittman. Steichen mentioned Pittman when he first got hired so I think he likes him alot. It would look bad to get pittmans extension done and not even talk with Taylor on one.  He maybe they are waiting to see on Pittman too.

I would bet he doesn't go full contact on Monday, which is fine.

 

I've been more than happy to see him back out there the first 3 days.

The important thing is he is on pace to start game one. I would be shocked if he doesn’t.
