Nickel and Dime.

 

As in, “the Colts are nickel and diming the Jags to death”.

5 and dime stores used to be a thing. (I'm old)  But I totally get nickel and dime as well

Do remember spending time at 5 and dime store in Lafayette as a kid.  Very popular for sure.  Still got an old air hockey table from the 70's from Service Merchandise (still works).

My first job was a stock boy at Woolworth's.  Great memories and fun times.  Loved the food counter.

This was honestly an underthrow by AR.  Looks to be some sort of drill.

 

actually liked the defense Brents played up until a few moments before the catch.  He was too focused on trying to catch up and didn’t turn his head around until it was too late.  Should’ve turned his around and used his length and wingspan to either swat the ball or make the catch difficult.  But hey, this is why we have OTAs and Training camp

 

Good to see AD putting that burner speed to use.  If AR had put some more air under it he would’ve burned brents

I agree; he had to turn around to catch the ball. It was still a good ball, but if the DB was aware of the ball and turned his head, it would have been broken up. All deep throws aren't always on point, so I'm glad AD is good enough to catch that ball with the DB right there.

I think it was thrown that way by design to show off Mitchell's  ability to come back to ball while going up to get it.

Pretty good throw. Some are saying "under thrown" . Yeah ... maybe so but I've never seen an over thrown ball caught . I've been watching for 65 years.

Really? I see overthrown balls being caught all the time, honestly.

yeah, with that speed, if I had ARs talent I’d just throw it up and let him go get it.

 

i know it’s only OTA, but in game that honestly looks like an almost interception to me.

 

meh, like I said above, I’m not worried or anything, just was giving my observation and commentating on the footage.

Exactly as I had to describe them to my 10YO...

I was born in '88. So imagine some of those types of stores existed while I was alive, but I was probably too young to remember. 

 

My town used to have an old school pharmacy with a soda fountain and candy, would go there all the time growing up! I wish my kids had something similar.

Explain how an overthrown ball is caught.  By my knowledge of the English language , overthrown means beyond the reach of the intended receiver. So yeah... really. Example .. if the ss "overthrew " the first baseman , you are saying he can catch the ball ?

An overthrown ball can still be caught because a WR would have to dive for it just to catch it. That is an overthrown ball, just like an underthrown ball, which is still catchable. QB is supposed to drop it in his hands in stride usually, but sometimes it's overthrown, and the WR has to do extra work just to catch the ball, like diving for it or even some one-handed catches I've seen where they could only reach with that one hand.

That , IMO , would not be considered an "overthrown ball." It  just would be considered not  a perfectly thrown ball. An overthrown ball would be a ball thrown too far for the receiver to catch it. You're referring to a ball that didn't hit the receiver in stride. Going back to the baseball analogy and I use that because they assign errors. If the ss throws the ball 10 feet over the 1st baseman's head , he gets an error for the " overthrow." If he throws the ball imperfectly and the first baseman elevates to catch the ball and comes down on the bag , there is no error and no "overthrow' is recorded . We are disagreeing over semantics and not worth continuing.

Like any emotionally damaged Colts fan who lived through the Luck shoulder drama in 2017-18, just seeing Richardson throwing "The Duke" in an offseason team practice is such a relief.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By NFLfan · Posted

      https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-tried-to-trade-up-for-brock-bowers-then-byron-murphy   You seem to be right.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By w87r · Posted

      Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      By Solid84 · Posted

      Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly.

      This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.

      I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….
