Default Notes from Colts camp

https://twitter.com/zkeefer/status/1295372653939875841

Quote:
Early observations from Colts camp:
— Philip Rivers likes throwing to TY Hilton
— The d-line just *looks*completely different with Buckner in the middle
— Kenny Moore back to his usual self, blowing up plays
— for the 100th time, don’t sleep on Marlon Mack just bc Taylor is here

Quote:
Colts will have just 11 padded practices before the opener — "nothing compared to past years," says center Ryan Kelly.

Frank Reich's message to his team: We're gonna go hard during these. With no preseason games, team has to ramp up the physicality fast.

28 days to kickoff.

Quote:
Frank Reich happy with the physicality of today's practice, first in full pads. Liked what he saw.

Quote:
Colts' rookie RB Jonathan Taylor is listed at 510 and 226 lbs — but looks way bigger. This dude's built.

"My coaches always told me the most physical guys are the ones who move the chains. I take pride in that."

Quote:
One of the biggest differences between a Wisconsin practice and a Colts practice, Jonathan Taylor says, is everybody knows where to go and what to do.

Frank Reich says the kicking competition isn't going to come down to just percentage. McLaughlin's experience weighs in; so does the way the ball comes off the foot. Not all makes are the same, not all misses are the same. Will be a comprehensive evaluation.

Colts held DE Justin Houston out of practice today with a minor neck injury; he had an awkward collision in Sunday's practice.

CB Kenny Moore strained his groin this morning. Colts will monitor over the next day or two.

Braden Smith has been battling through a foot issue. Colts don't think it's major. Reich says team wants to get started on the right foot, don't want somebody to push it on something minor.

Completions for Rivers to Mack, Taylor, Hines. He does love the RBs

Frank Reich talking about Jonathan Taylor's vision: It's very evident for us watching him; he's moving vertically through the hole and then suddenly slide steps into space.

I've put out a lot of Jonathan Taylor tweets, but Marlon Mack has looked really good the first two days, too. Vision and quickness on display, and he's been catching the ball more than usual, too.

Colts are splitting up the roster by number -- 0-49 with one kicker, 50 and up with another -- and the kicker who "loses" the day, those teammates run.

That’s a really cool idea to place more pressure on the kickers.

Seems Parris is making up for a lackluster rookie season.

Rodrigo Blankenship knows he earned a little bit more attention from college football fans than the average kicker.

He tried to focus on what he was doing. "The rest is kind of just the icing on the cake."

The bigger guys (linemen and lbs) usually have the bigger numbers. I'd hate to be the kicker with 50+ and lose. That would not be a happy locker room.

Quick Colts practice today:
— Rivers was sharp. Couldn't have had more than a few incompletions.
— Really nice day for Trey Burton. The TE caught a bunch
— Tyquan Lewis continues to look strong in 1v1 drills
— Rock Ya-Sin with a nice breakup in the endzone against Michael Pittman

Colts OC Nick Sirianni believes this is the best running back room he's worked with in his 12 years in the NFL. Mack, Taylor, Hines, Wilkins — the depth and versatility, he says, this group can do it all.

Did Eberflus really say Grover Stewart “broke out” last year?

Grover Stewart was slowly progressing the past couple years. He just doesn’t get much love for some reason. And considering he was drafted for a 3-4 and had completely reshaped his body for a 4-3, not to shabby.

Nice to see the blurbs about Lewis. He had tons of potential. Statistically he was the most effective pass rushing lineman at OSU of the entire group. And that is impressive considering who his teammates were. Sometimes it just takes time for a lineman to develop. Few rookies come charging out of the gate and most take several years to really contribute. I had almost written Lewis off. Hopefully he can start putting it together in games.
