Bray Wyatt Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 4 minutes ago, thebandit27 said: Ironic statement. I can't believe that this part needs to be explained, but here we go: When you work an injured player back into practice, especially when he hasn't been cleared for full activities, then you get him snaps with the backups. I honestly have no idea what you're even arguing at this point. McDermott himself, by the way, said (in his interview today) that the goal with injured players is to try to get them some reps in any format that they can, starting with a walk-through. That would certainly describe what's happening with Morse. So what you're saying is, when working a player back from injury, it takes time??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh is still working on his touch is all aspects of the game. Even his snap it now ass slap has too much power for a guy in the protocol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Gotta have one for Morse ! https://www.google.com/search?q=pictures+of+Mark+Kelso's+Helmet&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=dTLh99eH78ytjM%3A%2Cm9MuVSK79gZgOM%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kRQz8HUlrc19LQLEO3DYQ2FKOPpJQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiIy8nZ6fPjAhVJRK0KHQQ_D-IQ9QEwA3oECAkQDw#imgrc=3nehOEg-jta4pM:&vet=1 Why don't more players use these things it definitely made Kelso's career last a lot longer that it would have if he wouldn't have you would think the NFL might make it mandatory after the 3rd concussion or if someone has a history of being concussed especially if they were truly worried about the players health as they say they are !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget about the ridiculous contract we handed him in making him the centerpiece of a very aggressive offseason, but if we are back to square one with a guy like Bodine or Spencer Long starting at Center for most or all of the 2019 campaign I wouldn't be surprised if JA struggles or gets hurt again. Either way it's not looking promising for a guy that has had way too many concussions the last few years and couldn't even make it through the first padded camp practice this year. missed this guy! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean in Allen’s last media session after practice, he talked about them working on things they expect the Colts to do...because they were studying them on film. It’s not anywhere at the level of a regular season but you still need to evaluate players. How are you going to get a true evaluation on position battles and depth players if they have zero preparation going into a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I honestly hope he's ok as a human being, and retires the moment the doctor tells him it's needed. I know it's hard to step away from the game, and you just got this fat new contract, but life is more important. Getting another concussion this season should be the final straw... Coaches & trainers should put him on the IR the moment that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodine is not NFL material...my bud is Bengals fan..lives down there..no tears were shed when he shuffled off the Buffalo. Long is the most important player to watch now...he was limited last night (Barkley first drive)...he held his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
