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...

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...

YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) My guess is they unpack Morse from his bubble wrap after they return from Carolina.

I understand there are those who don't like McDermott. But you cannot deny that he will think everything through and be prepared. I don't think I've seen any regular on TSW who wants McDermott fired. But opinions like you just expressed above are not supported at all by fact...............you don't get blown out as often as McD's teams have or get casually, uncompetitively swept aside in your first 4 matches with your biggest rival like McD has and be totally "prepared" for opponents. Prepared to do just what is expected to get your ass kicked is not being prepared. Now defensively McD is tight........but this is a guy who is on his second ST and OC going into his third year..........mistakes have been made. The strength of McD's game is getting players focused on football...........but how does McD matchup as a game planner and on game day? He HAS to get better in these areas. It's not optional. It hasn't been a pretty ride to 15-17. That doesn't mean people who say this assume he is hopeless but the bar needs to be set a lot higher if winning and consistently becoming a SB contender is the goal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
