2010 Colts Training Camp: Notes from tenth practice (Aug. 7th Blue v. White scrimmage)

Stay connected for news and updates

The Colts held their annual training camp Blue v. White scrimmage today after the players had a short meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The scrimmage is a mock game with a special scoring system for the offense and the defense. Both side gets points for sacks, INTs, touchdowns, third down conversions, etc. 

We were lucky enough to have @andrewmishler Tweeting up a storm from the scrimmage. He also provided us with a little comedy, what with him making fun of back-up quarterback Curtis Painter during the mock game only to find out that Painter's mother was sitting right in front of him!

Thanks to @andrewmishler and others (like Phil Wilson) for feeding us scrimmage gold today. Here are the notes:

  • From Javarris James: "Just got done with the mock game had a good first week in camp got the rest of today off bout to head to indy and chill."
  • Pat McAfee continues to boom punts. Some were 70-plus yards.
  • Sam Giguere returned kicks. Anthony Gonzalez returned punts.
  • Brandon James worked with the wide receivers, as he has done all camp.
  • In warm-ups, Reggie Wayne burned Deshea Townshend for 40 yards.
  • Brandon James continues to get in with the first team offense as a specialist.
  • Tony Ugoh sat out today, as did Charlie Johnson. Still no word yet on CJ's injury.
  • Jeff Linkenbach played left tackle, and did not do well. Defense was able to get consistent pressure on Peyton Manning and the other QBs.
  • Because of pressure, Manning had a pass intercepted and returned for a touchdown by Gary Brackett.
  • Mike Newton had himself a day: Three INTs. All of them were on Curtis Painter, who was awful today. Simply awful. And yes, I'd say that in front of his mom as well.
  • O-line for first unit today was Linkenbach, Jamey Richard, Mike Pollak, Jeff Saturday, and Adam Terry
  • Mitch King played fullback on offense and caught a pass from Manning. If King is playing FB, this means the Colts likely do not foresee Brody Eldridge as a FB or H-Back.
  • Speaking of Eldridge, several fine catches today, including one along the sideline.
  • Secondary really impressed, with Jacob Lacey standing out along with Mike Newton.
  • Defense defeated offense 52-24. QBs threw 4 INTs.
  • From Robert Mathis: "Great day today at practice...Defense getting better and better!"
  • Adam Vinatieri showed a string long, but made only one of three FGs.
