Has Carlies played today? What's his number?

 

Carlies is #57. And I honestly didn't even recognize. Feels like I saw him out there.

From what I’ve read, they’re mostly air cushions, maybe a pound or so heavier at the most

 

I was reading an article about those helmets when Abraham stripped the ball and scored. Kevin Zeitler, Guard with the Ravens, said they are heavier and warmer. In the past, I have read that it may give players a sense of false security. If I were a player, I would use it. JMO

 

Good play by Brooks!

[Patrick Miller]

Great play by Brooks! Too bad he couldn’t have snagged it!

I would probably use it, if I were confident in my fundamentals. And especially if I had concussion history. 

[Solid84]

Good play by Brooks. Unfortunate he couldn't bring it in.

[ColtStrong2013]

Trying Simpson on the outside. Looks confused out there.

Wow these scrubs are brutal to watch 

They look like high school players playing against nfl players. Ballard deserves every bit of this.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Denver made that look easy. 

[DEColtsLover36]

That TD drive was way too easy for them. Good grief

[Solid84]

Noone out there...

[ColtStrong2013]

Stuard looks lost as well. 2nd time biting hard on playaction.

That looked real bad!

[ColtStrong2013]

Wow... UGLY. 

Abraham and Moore the bright spots at cornerback today. Outside of that, not great.

I think it’s a double edge sword. Would not be surprised to see more neck injuries but less concussions. 
 

and they weigh 11 ounces. Barely over half a pound. I can see them blocking air flow and being warmer

Jones looked ok. But if jones or Brent’s can’t play we are in trouble.

This was JJ Watt's take I'm fairly sure. He just thinks it will lead to more issues in the regular season. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Sam is going to earn that 3rd spot.

He made a play. Some say it was PI, but it wasn't called so it wasn't PI. lol. 

 

I'm not super concerned about him. I hope he continues to grow. But they've got to work out the room or it's going to get ugly. 

[TheNewGuy]

Helmet to the head...

Sam is good. We will keep 3 QB's.

Yep. I think it’s a good idea for practice but I think it’ll lead to guys having this false sense of invulnerability 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Woods still out there isn’t good for his future here.

Speaking of

[Colt Overseas]

Some of the backups looked confused as to where to line up when Denver went up tempo in bunched formations.

 

Im worried about our depth on defense, not just in the secondary but also at LB, and we really need Raekwon Davis on the field.

[ColtStrong2013]

Not super happy to see Jelani Woods out there so late. Hoping he gets more reps the next few weeks. I want him on the roster.

I don’t have an issue giving a rookie the chance  going into year two. The bigger issue is no insurance in case it doesn’t work.

That's a coaching problem. Gus isn't going to make Defensive Coach of the Year.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Woods has pretty good hands, nice catch by Mallory.

Agreed. Not a good camp for him.

Mallory and Woods battling. Maybe Ogletree is the odd man out of this room. 

[azcolt]

Slovis looked like a world beater his freshman year, then started transferring. Could be interesting to see if he sticks instead of Sam.

Eh. Idk about that in a rookie's first preseason game. If they still look confused in a few weeks, then yeah, I'm going to point to the coach a little bit. 

[Colt Overseas]

Think Woods just needs snaps folks, he’s missed so much time.

Yeah. He needs reps. 

[Crush22]

Why do our jerseys always look bunched up and wrinkled?

That's probably why he's still out there.  Just to get the reps and reps and reps

I agree. As young as our team is I think keeping Mo and not letting the young guys play is a mistake.

Yeah especially considering he was such a raw prospect coming out of college.

[NFLfan]

Poor Treadwell. I'm rooting for him. He was a great college player. Not in the NFL.

[TheNewGuy]

TD!

[ColtStrong2013]

Goodson with a nice run. Wide open in the flat next play. Would have liked to see him thrown that ball. 

Stuffed on 2nd and goal at the 1. Gets in on 3rd. Woods lead blocking. We've got a runningback battle for RB3. I've liked what I've seen from both Hull and Goodson. 

Maybe Sermon isn't RB2 and it's up for grabs by all 3. Do we keep 4 runningbacks?
