Few thoughts from #Colts first OTA practice:
» Both Devin Funchess + Parris Campbell looked good
» Gonna be fun to watch Justin Houston vs. Anthony Castonzo in camp
» TY Hilton was full-go and didn't look slowed at all

:cool:

Couple picks today for Rock Ya-Sin. One during a session with other rookies/young guys. The other in a full team drill.
Also, hats off to T.Y. Hilton. If anybody had a free pass to sit out today, it was him. He was, of course, a full participant. #Colts

:cool:

Couple takeaways from the #Colts 1st OTA:

-Devin Funchess did a little bit of everything, including a ‘go get that’ 50/50 ball over Pierre Desir
-Seemed like a defensive line/edge day for Ben Banogu
-Mo Alie-Cox had a nice day. He’s going to catch a TON of balls this spring

:cool:

First look at the 2019 #Colts practicing in a full team session.

No Andrew Luck today due to a calf strain:

First OTA practice is in the books. Looked like a good day for Devin Funchess and Parris Campbell.
Justin Houston also looks like he’s wearing shoulder pads even when he’s not. #Colts

:cool:

Frank Reich said any player who has any issue will be held out this spring. #Colts being extremely cautious with the idea of getting guys to camp.
Luck will be re-evaluated next week.

Post-practice thoughts: The two guys I was perhaps most impressed with today are the two new guys: Justin Houston and Devin Funchess. Whew, Houston is going to be a handful bc of his physicality. And Funchess is going to make some freak catches.

Maybe, just maybe Carolina was the wrong fit for Funchess and he is gonna have a breakout year.

Kind of like Eric Ebron didn't fit at Detroit !

Things got a little chippy today between Brissett and Funchess.

Some fire here from Jacoby Brissett, who clearly wasn’t happy with Devin Funchess after a play here at OTAs and let him know about it. Marlon Mack calmed Brissett down.

Funchess was pissed and required a little extra attention from an assistant coach after this. Had a quick word with him and Funchess seemed to calm down.


Also saw several reports that the defense ruled the day today. The offense was probably getting a bit frustrated. Really not that surprising considering the offense's timing is probably off from the offseason, from incorporating new players into the mix and running with the backup QB. I would expect the defense to rule the early part of the workouts / camp anyway.

Read Mack had to hold Brisset back he was so pissed.

Read Mack had to hold Brisset back he was so pissed.

Heard Kevin Bowen describe the scene on The Fan today....He said Brissett's accuracy was shit today and in 3 throws he threw two interceptions. The last was picked by Hairston who took it into the end zone. Per Bowen, Funchess got in Brisset's face and was throwing F bombs and Brisset started jawing back until Mack pulled Brisset back. Per Bowen, Funchess was being a Diva Douche but he also said that Brisset was trash today and the Defense had their way with the offense all day.
