Colts agree to two weeks of on-field work

I know it some wont like it because ,its new. If the players can maintain and stay in shape in their own time, it will be a benefit. |

I have mixed feelings. I like that it will garner goodwill with players and agents, but with a new QB and a young team less off-season work could be a setback, it will be interesting I guess.

If this is the going trend, then it makes the learning curve for rookies and younger players joining a new team even harder.
Part of the reason the Colts went with Rivers last year was the shortened spring / summer work due to COVID and they knew a vet of his experience would be ready. Much, much, much harder now to put your potential playoff ready team in the hands of a rookie or 2nd year QB if the off-season work gets shortened. This will impact the quality of play in the fall. The question is "will it impact it enough that the average fan gets turned off by low quality play early?" Time will tell. |

Reich is treating the players like adults. The team has made it a point to sign men of character and put the team first. I’m not sure I would want to explain to Nelson, Bruckner, or Kelly why I didnt put my time in. Guys who dont show up ready, probably will be playing somewhere else. |

This is an advantage for well run organizations with quality people as players. Same rules for everyone I completely agree with JAFF on this one. In others words a win for the Colts.

I also wouldn't be surprised to hear that Wentz organizes informal get-togethers with his TE, WR, and backs so they can literally get on the same page of the playbook together. No rules in the CBA against that. |

Hate that Wentz has not been there last two days, but we already know that he is eager to gel with his receivers. He’s already in Indy; hopefully that makes it easier for everyone.

If this is good with Ballard and Reich, it’s good with me.
