Colts Training Camp 2008: Early reports say Session is starting SAM

by BigBlueShoe on Jul 25, 2008 9:52 AM EDT in Training Camp Comment 9 comments

Some early reports trickling in from the first practice today say that Marvin Harrison is "not holding back" and looks healthy. Marvin even waved to the fans when he entered, something he's not known for doing. Another player looking good in the first drills was Roy Hall, who really seems poised to make a big, positive impact in 2008. The receiving corps is a bit of a question coming into this season. That question will get answered big time if the 6'2, 240 pound Hall proves he can play WR in the NFL.

Our own TheMatic is "Twittering" from camp. Funny line from his live blog:

Gijon robinson is a BIG BOY!

TheMatic also passes on this bit of hot-off-the-press news: Clint Session is practicing with the starting defense at SAM.

More details from camp as we get them throughout the day.

I'm really happy for Session

and will rooting for the kid, unless of course the Colts play the Boys.

Absolutely loved him at Pitt.

In Romo we Trust

cool idea

I love the use of Twitter for TC updates. Sadly, I’m not sure if I’m going to make it down for any traininig camp this year. I’m shorter on vacation days than I expected, and I have a wedding to go to next week so I’ll already be using some days for that. :(

Hmmm

I would like to see wheeler play some SAM in the coming days. I have no doubt that Session is a great linebacker (see san diego) but Wheelers body type and physical play seems to fit the position better.

I agree

I do love what Session did last year in limited time, but I can tell that he’s built to play the WILL. If he starts against the Bears, I”m worried that he’ll look out of position. Morris and Wheeler were built to play the SAM, and that’s how it should be. Hopefully he can really impress the coaches Bethea-style to make them consider the switch. Or, hopefully I’m completely wrong and Session will be a good SAM.

BTW

I didn’t end up going today. I might go tomorrow and maybe a day by the end of camp as well. Thanks for the update TheMatic.

Wheeler

I really want to see what Wheeler can do at SAM. The SAM position in our defense is more about power and size than it is about speed and Wheeler is fast, big and strong! We could even use him in blitzing situations.
