Bolts, beat the Colts. They should be stratagizing for the Sep 8 contest now. Start with a "W". The coaching staff probably did some thinking on it all summer long. It will be a very challenging start, no doubt. Oh how I hate that game. All the other 15 games I do not care about/look forward to watching. I know how good Indy is. Its a big challenge for us. The Baby Horses won't be tired being on the road because its the first game of the year. I don't want to start 0-1. GO BOLTS

Hope your pain level is better Freak. Tooth pain is the worst. If not Ghost Chili oil might help. Put a drop on the tooth. After a few hours of other pain, you'll probably feel nothing for a quite a while. I'm with McRugby, PR et-al will not play. If they play at all during TC it will be a series during PSG3. Thank you.....I think. PSG3 he gets like 2-3 quarters of work. That's the "big" starters game to get ready for regular season. I think the trend is less PS game work now. 2 -3 qrts is too much now. Would be surprised to see them go more than 1 qtr.

Oh, new times, eh ? errr…. well yeah. on one hand I tlooks like the trend is way less vet work. How much less is all guess. My initial thought was way way less. But granted they could go longer. Plus if I make it a range say like there is going to be 0-51 points scored, I'll be right.

It was clear that the Cardinals wanted a feel good take away and used us as a measuring stick. It was clear that aside from getting some guys lots of reps (Lamp) and seeing some rooks, our goal was to get off of the field asap.
Here's to Arizona winning preseason. I'll be rooting for them.

The Baby Horses won't be tired being on the road because its the first game of the year. I don't want to start 0-1. GO BOLTS Luck still isn't practicing from a "calf strain" that he suffered three months ago. I feel comfortable facing a very rusty Andrew Luck or Jacoby Brisset in the opener. About halfway through Saturday’s practice, Andrew Luck, sweaty from what looked like an early morning rehab session, strolled out of the wooded area next to the Colts’ practice fields in Westfield and made his way toward the field. While Jacoby Brissett ran the first-team offense, hitting receivers Deon Cain and Reece Fountain repeatedly on deep shots down the field, Luck mingled with Eric Ebron, chatted with Nick Sirianni and caught up with Frank Reich.
Whether it matters or not, this was not something we saw in 2017.
Amid the shoulder saga, Luck was a ghost. Weeks would pass without his ever showing up for a training camp practice. Later, we learned why: The shoulder wasn’t cooperating, rehab wasn’t progressing, and his season was slipping away.
This time around, on the surface at least, Luck appears far more connected with the team than he was two years ago. Remember his quote from July 30, the day he revealed his left calf wasn’t progressing and he wanted to let it completely heal before returning to practice: “I don’t feel quite alone like I did at times in 2016, 2017.”
That tells you something. Scenes like the one Saturday morning do, too. At this point, Luck looks much more like a quarterback ready to return to the practice field than one expecting to miss regular-season snaps.
Yet encouraging as the optics are, the facts are the facts: Saturday marked the eighth consecutive training camp practice Luck has missed, and by the time Monday’s workout is over, it’ll be 10.
Couple that with a concerning revelation from Reich on Friday regarding the calf strain the Colts’ $140 million quarterback simply can’t shake — “There is still a degree of pain he is not comfortable with,” the coach said of an injury that was first disclosed in early May — and we have, without question, the most pressing storyline surrounding this team 29 days ahead of the regular-season opener.
To be clear, the team still expects Luck to start Sept. 8 against the Chargers in Los Angeles.
The quarterback expects the same thing.
But this is an injury that has lingered for more than three months and involves a player whose body has been relentlessly battered throughout his career. Consider the toll on Luck just seven years in: torn cartilage in two ribs, a partially torn abdominal muscle, a lacerated kidney, a bum ankle, an injured thumb, at least one documented concussion, the torn labrum in his throwing shoulder and now a calf strain that’s lasted the entire summer.For the rest of the article: theathletic.com/1129551/2019/08/10/everything-we-know-about-andrew-luck-and-the-calf-strain-that-wont-go-away/#_=_

What a great bonus at linebacker if that guy pans out for us ! For a fourth round pick out of Notre Dame ?
Good luck to him and I hope he hustles and makes the team !!

When I read this it made me think of the Bolts situation. In years past, if Rivers was ever hurt we all knew his backup wasn't likely to win games for us. This year, with Tyrod as his backup, we'd be in much better position to win.

It's obvious Irsay's comment was misinterpreted. An issue with a "small little bone" is figurative, and clearly a shot across the bow of a soft player.
