INDIANAPOLIS – One would understand if a bit complacency started to creep in. Hell, Quenton Nelson has had as good of a start to an NFL career as anyone could ask for from an individual standpoint. Two years. Two first-team All-Pro selections. Good thing for the Colts that the word ‘complacent’ is not in Nelson’s […]

INDIANAPOLIS – You think you know, but you are never 100 percent sure. That’s life for NFL teams when projecting college players to the next level. During the 2020 draft process, the Colts were pretty confident that Michael Pittman could make such a transition, and probably do it earlier than most rookies. So far, the […]

INDIANAPOLIS – Faster at the age of 30? Bigger heading into his 9th year in the NFL? That’s what T.Y. Hilton says as he possibly embarks on his final season with the Indianapolis Colts, a thought he admits that has entered his mind. When players like Hilton (wideouts on the smaller side, who have missed […]

INDIANAPOLIS – No fireworks from Butler vs. Warren and not much life from the Pacers. That about sums up what we saw from Monday night’s anticipated matchup between Indiana and Miami. Terrible starts to each half from the Pacers had them playing from behind for virtually the entire game, which led to a 114-92 win […]

INDIANAPOLIS – DeForest Buckner views himself as overlooked, which could be viewed as surprising considering he was a top-10 pick, has played in a Super Bowl and was just traded for a top-15 pick. But when you look at Buckner’s resume four years into his NFL career, you can see why he’s knocking on the […]

INDIANAPOLIS – It’s time for the Colts to take the next step towards having full practices. After only strength and conditioning, along with team meetings, on the schedule last week, this week allows for the Colts to get on the field with helmets. Beginning Wednesday, practices can occur in a non-padded manner, and that will […]

INDIANAPOLIS – Now LeBron and the Lakers have experienced T.J. Warren in the bubble.   One of the greatest 5-game runs in Pacers franchise history continued on Saturday night, with Warren pouring in 39 points, and clutch bucket after clutch bucket.   It was Warren and the Pacers out-closing LeBron and the Lakers for the […]

INDIANAPOLIS – Well, T.J. Warren and the Pacers won’t be going undefeated in the Orlando bubble.   A team with a clear sense of urgency, and inevitable rebounding woes, caught up to the Pacers on Thursday afternoon.   It was a couple of big runs by Phoenix that led to the Pacers dropping their first […]

INDIANAPOLIS – It’s time to feel the return. The decision was called ‘easy’ by general manager Chris Ballard. That’s how much DeForest Buckner’s presence means to the Indianapolis Colts. “There is no question that on the d-line, you know I’m driven by it,” Ballard says. “You know we have to be great there. So I’m […]

INDIANAPOLIS – It is one of the core traits Chris Ballard seeks out in player evaluation, and it will be critical to overall success in the NFL this season. You won’t find Ballard speaking on the keys to building a roster, without talking about the importance of the locker room, and finding self-motivated guys who […]
