That's too bad, he was playing pretty good ball. Should be back next season.

Just before that I think he showed really good closing speed on a ball to the boundary.  We had a roomful.  When they showed the replay we were immediately all like he’s done When a guy goes down like he’s been shot with no one around it’s usually a season ending type of deal

Ton of Achilles injuries this season. 

 

I wonder if it's the artificial turf ?

I think it might be over training.  Ruptures do appear to be increasing.  It be interested to know if that’s factual.

 

one thing is certain though these guys put more pressure on this body part than nature intended.

This really sucks.  He was quietly playing really well.

Secondary is absolutely scuffed right now. We need Jaylon Jones to come in lol. Ballard and the staff were super high on him, let him play now.

He’s the one who came in when Flowers got hurt Sunday.

Hasn’t the league reduced practice time?

 

Sure is weird though right!

I’m talking work out techniques.  High intensity training is probably leading to tendinitis which makes the Achilles more likely to rupture.

 

Football practices aren’t the junction boys style any more.  These athletes body and conditioning work is done in the gym.

Baker was a healthy scratch for the game, he will at least be on the bench and rotating in now I would have thought.

Jaylon will get a shot to show what he can do though. If he can play well enough, I would imagine that he could keep Baker on the bench. Just a lot to ask of a late round rookie.

Unfortunate for Flowers, he was really starting to blossom!!!!!

 

Next man up…..

 

Jaylon Jones. He and Brents on the boundary and Moore in the slot.

 

They just released that Darren Hall kid from the practice squad so I would bet they sign two DB’s this week. One to the active roster and one to the PS!

Ruptured Achilles according to 93.5 the fan radio! Sry dont have a link.

Very unfortunate, I wonder who the sign to come in and add depth. Greedy is available, could also bring rush back if they sign him off of the Chiefs PS.

Gus Bradley plans to rotate secondary

 

...Los Angeles converted 27 first downs, second-most behind San Francisco (30) in Week 4. Rams rookie receiver Puka Nacua cooked the Colts with nine receptions on 10 targets for 163 receiving yards and the game-winning touchdown in OT.

 

The Colts’ secondary had a critical lapse of miscommunication on the final play of Sunday’s loss as Kenny Moore II signaled rookie cornerback Juju Brents to roll with Nacua’s route post-snap, but it was too late. Stafford found Nacua wide open for a 22-yard touchdown to secure a walk-off 29-23 victory on the road. Nacua accounted for six of the Rams’ 10 longest plays from the Week 4 victory and seven of his nine catches were against zone coverage...

 

 ...During Tuesday’s coordinator zoom meeting, defensive coordinator Gus Bradley mentioned Darrell Baker Jr. and rookie seventh-round draft pick Jaylon Jones will rotate as the third CB in Week 5 against Tennessee...

 

... With the indefinite loss of Flowers, Bradley has not ruled out the option to move Moore back outside the numbers.

“I think you will see Kenny (Moore II) playing both still,” Bradley said. “He will play inside and he will play outside.”

    • I gotta say you make arguments that you’d never accept from your students because they’re so superficial.      So saying Ballard has been mediocre to bad is tissue paper thin.  Why hasn’t Irsay fired this mediocre to bad GM?  Because he signed off on what Ballard did each year in real time, not after the fact.   Irsay knows Ballard has an eye for talent.  And as Ballard freely admitted in January, the Colts haven’t had more success because he failed to get the QB right.  These aren’t excuses, but it IS badly needed context — which you’d realize if you weren’t always looking for new ways to hate on CB.      As to what you and Moose “supposedly said”  there’s a simple way to verify.  Go to the Day 2 draft thread of Friday April 26.  It was between 3a and 4 my time when I saw it.  I believe it was recent.  Just add 2-3 hours depending on your time zone and you can see your conversation with Moose.   What was so astonishing, what makes me “prattle on” as you put it is how you two ever thought you were right?!?   Given your career choice you jumped to conclusions I’d like to think you’d never accept from your students.   Why you thought Ballard didn’t know more?  Why you thought you two knew better?   Ballard not only knows more, he knows dramatically more.  As I said in another post, he shared the tip of the iceberg.  He doesn’t share the part of the iceberg that you can’t see.  The 90 percent.  The absence of curiosity is stunning given your occupation.    Now, at the bottom of your post you brought up a new line of attack on me and I have no idea what you’re talking about?   I’m not an optimist?   Since when?  Based on what?   In my 12 years here, only 1-2 posters have ever made that claim.   So what are you talking about?     Finally….   You can stop calling me Sir.  It’s normally said with respect.  You don’t respect me at all.   I’ve extended olive branches publicly and privately, and both have been rejected.  Your choice.  So calling me sir is intended as an insult.   It’s old and boring.   Move on.   I don’t know why you “enjoy engaging with me”.   You take a beating.  But if that’s what you’re in to, be my guest.    Sorry this went so long….       
    • He loves you, you just don't know it (sarcasm) 
    • Cubs actually won one - beat the Giants finally.
    • Jared, put $50 on the Lakers to win it all. They are getting +4000 odds, you would win $2000, if you lose, you lose just $50. Hear me out, those odds will drop bigtime shortly because I think the Lakers will make a huge move to bolster their roster.    LeBron wins his 5th tying Magic and Kobe, Lakers tie Boston with 18. Perfect ending because LeBron looks like a hero + he just beat Kareem's record too. 
    • So….  You’ve been absent 7-10 days (more?) and you’re back looking to start not one, but two fights!  Okie-dokie!      If you want to call me names — fine.  I’d simply respond that my knowledge is counter-balanced by those who THINK they know a lot, but clearly don’t.   On to your other post.  That one is longer, and so will be my response.
