I can get the delusional portion of the fanbase continuing to be stupid the rest of ya'll need to chill. We get more reps tomorrow and throughout the preseason. Some of these deficiencies will get sorted out(secondary specifically, IMO). 

We aren't going to the Super Bowl in 2021. There, let's get past that. Just focus on being better as a TEAM. If the OL, QB, LB's, etc suck that is a correctable thing. We can fix a couple of units on the team. 

Think about this, how exciting was our DL against one of the best OL units in the NFL?

I'm sorry, but you can't insult part of the fan base. Then tell the rest to calm down. That's not how this works.

The Panthers kept calling Thursday a measuring stick, and you can only say they didn’t measure up to the Colts. Matt Rhule didn’t love the play of his receivers (a lot of dropped balls), and his offensive line didn’t hold up particularly well against a good Colts front either.

 That is just plain a better team than we are. The secondary getting beat like that is mildly disappointing but I wouldn't get worried about that yet.

I wouldn't be as disappointed if it wasn't borderline NFL QBs who were doing it. Indy is in a near panic QB situation right now with Wentz's health in question and we made them look good.

It's a process. Consider how far we stripped the roster down and how much building had to be done. We can debate the finer points of what we should have done or shouldn't have done but if we are ultimately getting better as a team, we don't need to lose our poo. 

I don't love the moves we made this offseason but I do think our staff is capable of learning from their mistakes. These deficient units will get corrected in future offseasons.

It's the normal game day thing. Except this game is an actual Practice. It would be funny, if it weren't so sad. Why put yourself through all this? Especially for something that's supposed to be entertainment?

 

I guess we should have known it was coming. 

I was excited to see guys in pads getting some live action. Rhule is doing exactly what he said he was going to do. He is rotating guys everywhere evaluating their fit. The goal today was not to beat the Colts or look better or worse but try different guys at different positions to see how they do.  All that reporting was by fans for fans of each team to create excitement. It was a healthy competition to evaluate individual players and develop film to evaluate and teach with. Hopefully wiffing on a pass block assignment onlt requires some technique adjustment rather than serving as a harbinger of portending events.

WESTFIELD – The Indianapolis Colts offense didn’t start well in Thursday’s practice against the Carolina Panthers.

But the finish certainly was cause for optimism.

The first and second teams scored three touchdowns in red-zone drills – and just missed a fourth by the length of wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr.’s foot – to cap a physical and productive day at Grand Park.

 

PLAY OF THE DAY

After dominating their own offense for the first two weeks of camp, the Indianapolis defense continued the trend against the Panthers.

On six snaps inside the red zone Thursday, the first-team defense did not allow a touchdown.

 

THEY SAID IT

“I think we won the physical battle, and that was the most important thing for us.” – linebacker Bobby Okereke on the battle against the Carolina offense.

TC, and preseason are for evaluation. Moving guys around is part of that process. Perfectly natural. Not sure what folks were expecting from a practice?

 

If this was year 5 of the Rhule era. Yeah, we can be a little concerned. But year 2? C'mon man.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
