Weird things always happen week one. The fact jags haven’t won in Indy for a long time I am not going to be surprised if Richardson starts colts win. I just don’t know if our defense will be able to slow down the jags.

Can’t be any worse than last year!

Unfortunately I would be late. I'm on the west coast. 

Ok. Do if anyone else wants to help Tuesday feel free.

I can try. My prep for teaching will be around that time. No guarantees though, stuff always seems to happen.

Colds defense missing Moore and Blackmon. So with young starters on defense this isn’t surprising. It would be a concern if Richardson was struggling.

Part of me wonders if its Richardson getting better or we are just gonna have a bad (or below average) secondary. We will probably find out more with the joint practices coming up.

 

Obviously its encouraging to hear that Richardson had a great day and seemingly a decent week at camp. Hope it continues

Probably somewhere in between at the moment.

Wow Pittman really got into the Taylor situation there. I love how he recognizes that the market dns injury risk is so much different for WR and RB.

Any word on if the Wagner late rounder is doing well or not ?? Titus Leo.

I'm rooting for him.

Haven’t seen his name in a single TC report.  Not sure the early TC is a place for edge rushers to stand out, though…

No news is probably good news at this point. He's not making headlines but he's also not noticeably / standout terrible either.

True dat.  What’ll help his case a lot is if he can get to the QB in the joint practices coming up, even though it’ll probably be against 2nd and 3rd teamers for him…

Michael Pittman is just one of those guys.  Definitely a great teammate and leader

I honestly would expect Wagner to be on the PS this season. The jump in competition is insane from where he was playing to the NFL and I would anticipate needing a season or 2 to even get even somewhat acclimated to the NFL level of play.

I still think a 1-2 year minor league would be so beneficial to some of these guys.

All this Richardson news is very encouraging. Can't wait to see him in the game Saturday. Hope he gets to play with the 1s.

I doubt many ones will play.   I bet Sam sees the most action

AR should honestly play as much as possible unless they're truly believing he's going to be the starter for week 1.

Even if Richardson was starting, I'd still like to see him play a half. Despite what Ballard and Steichen would lead the fans to believe, they have no idea how Richardson will perform at QB in an actual game yet. Even a preseason game is huge for his development at this point.

Luck played quite a bit his rookie preseason. Though he was obviously way more NFL ready than AR...

I’d like to see AR play a half with Minchew and Sam getting a quarter for all of the preseason games.   Like you said the preseason games are going to be very important for his development and confidence.

I think AR will play, not long,  and not with many 1s.

What have Ballard or Steichan lead fans to believe?

He needs reps.  It wouldn’t shock me if Minshew plays a series and AR plays the rest of the half and Sam plays the second half.  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Texans will be starting stroud on their first preseason game despite splitting reps with mills. I won’t be shocked if Richardson starts Saturday. Because the starters probably don’t play much and I think it’s important to see him with the starters. We will see how practice goes this week. But if it goes as well as this past week I think he will start. I am so excited to see him play. Will probably know who will start from Steichen tomorrow or Thursday.

I said "would lead the fans to believe". They'll pretend they know more than they actually know IMO, when in reality, no one (including Ballard and Steichen) have seen Richardson play in an actual NFL preseason or regular season game to this point. In reality, at this point, Richardson needs the work no matter what anyone thinks, and he should play the first half. Anyone who says different is wrong, even if Ballard and/or Steichen do (and yes, what they say goes, but it doesn't make it the right decision by anything but gut instinct based on training camp at this point).
