2009 Colts Training Camp: News and notes from 8/12/09 morning practice

This morning the Colts were in shorts and helmets again, performing a glorified walk-through. As always, the immortal Eric Hartz is tweeting a storm from Rose Hulman. Here are some notes from his tweets:

More after the jump...

Star-divide

  • Reggie Wayne and Austin Collie alternated reps at the slot receiver position.
  • Pierre Garcon played many reps at right receiver position. The Colts are not using Garcon as a slot receiver.
  • Colts experimented with having Fili Moala at DE. Eric says that it seems more "scout team"-like than anything else (meaning Moala is emulating what the Vikings like to do on do line).
  • Antoine Bethea also sat out the walk through. Matt Giordano replaced him.

There is an afternoon practice scheduled as well today. We'll have news and notes from that practice as well.

a tweet from Hartz...

“Charlie Johnson just slipped and fell on his rear while blocking Marlin Jackson. Half speed. It was a bit comical.”

Not a good start CJ…replace Jackson with J. Allen and half speed with full speed and Manning would have been toasted. Then we’ll have to replace “It was a bit commical” to “it was the worst thing ever to see”.

It irritates me that they (coaches) are stubborn enough to keep CJ at LT.

Now that Diem is down (not a huge loss) CJ would be fine at RT. ugh

Great.

Optimism is not winning out here.

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Cursed players this year (via my autograph curse): Donald Brown, Fili Moala, Jerraud Powers, Austin Collie, Terrence Taylor, and Curtis Painter.
