Training Camp Tidbits
As usual, a thread for training camp updates that probably don't warrant new threads:
Zak Keefer@zkeefer 20m20 minutes ago First look at Colts o-line has Jack Mewhort moving to RG and Joe Haeg at LG. Makes sense: Mewhort could really help Le'Raven Clark on edge. Interesting... |
Blue HQ Media @BlueHQMedia 25m25 minutes ago
First team offense goes three wide. Hilton, Moncrief, and Rogers are the guys currently. #Colts #ColtsCamp Also interesting. Dorsett seems like a potential, surprising/unsurprising camp cut. |
I was there and the highlight of the day was a pick 6 by Tevin Mitchel.
TY was TY, he looked great- Turbin looked to have some burst too From what I saw, 1st team d on field of note-- Safeties Butler/Farley MLB Jackson/Bostic D Line- Al Woods was NT with Hankins and Ridgeway playing the ends I'm sure all this will change when guys return but interesting to see what coaches think of these guys Overall great experience nice to have practice at LOS as opposed to Anderson or Terre Haute out there baking in the sun on shitty bleachers I had no idea who Mitchel was before today but I'm gonna keep an eye on him because the pick was beautiful and he ran it in high steppin and took the ball over to a young fan, watchout for this guy |
I am curious how mewhort does at rg

RG is typically the "harder" of the two OG positions to play. Since most teams traditionally have put their best pass rusher to the offenses' left, you typically slide protection that direction often leaving the RT one-v-one on their guy and the RG one-v-one on their guy.
Obviously, that is an over-simplification but the LG typically is in more of a zone/gap protect duty or a double team duty than the RG. Plus, obviously having a more experience RG to pair with a less experienced RT makes since just like pairing a more experienced LT with a less experienced LG. If Philbin can work a 2nd year of magic with Haeg, Kelly and Clark, then I think our O-Line will be in pretty good shape for 2017. Cheers, |
Pairing two new linemen with two veterans, assuming the guards can both handle the switch, seems to make sense. Really depends on how well Mewhort does at RG I think, Haeg seems versatile enough to play almost anywhere, and should improve playing between Castonzo and Kelly.

I don't love Hankins at DT. I think it's a waste and a stupid idea. Pagano and Monachino getting to cute. We'll see.

Hankins anywhere but NT is stupid.
We should start a yearly award for the worst move by the Colts. I would call them the Clappies, in honor of Pagano. |

Training Camp Tidbits is right.
The real downside to a camp at the Colts complex? VERY little reporting about the day in and day out perceived performances of players. There is very little for fans to chew over. I hope this is the only year that they do it at the Colts complex. This sucks. Walk Worthy, |
So, because of the lack of camp observations, I went looking.
A very good Day 3 (Tuesday) camp report out of Stampede Blue (here). Their opinion on the Hilton / V Davis tussel (here). Their preview of who they want to observe for Day 4 (Thursday) (here). Wednesday was an off day for the players. Walk Worthy, |

At the end of a shitty season ok I get it, but I'll never understand calling for the coaches job when were a fucking week into camp. I mean honestly Colts get 10 wins or better and he's not going anywhere, and I think they'll do that this year |
Quote:
yes no longer soft as in competition for positions and more physical practices tell me the last time the Colts had a scrap at training camp? Theyre being pushed and called pussies isn't that what we want the coach to do? |
I'm still not buying it but whatever. Certainly not losing sleep over it.

or maybe the tackling in full pads was more wwe shit from Pagano |
Maybe this deserves it's own thread...but whatever?
Kevin Bowen has been fired from the Colts. https://twitter.com/KBowenColts/stat...51316405436416 Now we will get even less training camp info? WTF! |
Ryan Kelly injured somehow. He left practice on crutches. Uh-oh. :eek:

So the Andrew Luck injury front has been very quiet, is it the Colts trying to keep a poker face?

My expectations for the season are diminishing day by day.

Denzelle Good left practice early with some type of injury.

With Kelly and Schwenke unavailable, who takes reps at center? This sucks.

“From what I understand, he should be available ...” That's Reggie Wayne on QB Andrew Luck for Week 1. indystar.com/story/sports/n…
