Pre-season, At Indy - Who/what Are You Looking For?

[SpringStein]

We all know the PS games are relatively worthless in projecting regular season performance. But it’s especially interesting to watch some of the rookies and other young players and see where they are in relation to more experienced players.

I’m watching for :
Bailey - or if you prefer Bentley that’s also ok - to see what Payton, Mingo, and DC are enthused about.
Incoom- I keep seeing his name pop up in camp reports as getting sacks
Vele- no doubt he is making the 53, but is he ready to contribute right away?
CB - who is going to compete for the spot opposite PS2?

Bo? Nah, he has no chance of being any good.

Who are you going to be watching for?

WR: Will Tim Patrick play, how is Mimms' route running, can Vele create separation
TE: Krull (everything)
RB: how does Javonte look, is Estime agile enough to get through traffic
OL: can they pass pro
QB: Nix
CB: who is CB2?
Safety: can they cover
ILB: are they dumb
OLB: can they contain
DL: can they penetrate

all of what you said but there is a ILB from SD state that is a impact player in college and he has made some good plays in practice.

But Payton has said he is not worried about that so much when talking about ILB players on our team because all of them are being judged with all the players getting cut in the final cut downs .

I am guessing they are not going with one of our players at ILB and have someone in mind on finale cut down for the last ILB .
My Guess is also they are thinking the guy from SD state will go to the practice Squad

OLB that can Contain is the big dude XFL that played for wade .

The things I'm interested in:

QB Play
WR competition
Javonte - is he back to his rookie form
How will I feel about the new uniforms
The new kickoff format

TE is going to be interesting for me as well..

Awesome list. I want to see Jonah Elliss, and how he stacks up. He might’ve been a steal

 

[Draft Crazy]

What’s up with everyone adding the second M to Mims last name this week?

Hard for me to narrow it down as to what I am looking for but everyone pretty well hit on the main things.

I’m excited to see the tee on the field.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Is Wattenburg beating out Forsyth at C right now?

As long as both are beating out Mustipher I will be cool.

Interesting for sure

Mmmmmimmmms!

 

[Mingo]

Are you saying Mims the word? With minimum M's?

I do want to see the Kickoff set up - I don't expect the Broncos to bust out any fun things they might have planned for it. I'm wondering if we will see another kicking specialist - one who can knuckle a football down to the zone and hit it with regularity.

Things to watch - Nix - play execution - pass rush - run defense - run game - CB play - Inside LB play.

I'd say there are 65 guys who can make these 53 roster spots - depending on decisions by Payton on where he can get depth or guys he can safely stash on the PS.

in the first quarter...

WR's look like garbage
bring me Krull
Javonte looks good
OL can pass pro but lose the stupid penalties
QB: Stidham is nothing special
CB's mediocre
Safeties are doing OK
ILB playing smart
OLB are containing
DL not penetrating consistently

This Offense has looked very mimsy so far.

 

[listopencil]

Nix in with the starters and he looks good. I have to remember that he's a rookie and this is his very first NFL game ever, because he's not playing like it is. The Offense was immediately better with him in there. I mean...this is like 2015 when Kubiak pulled Osweiler and put Manning in. It's that plain to see. He is very obviously mentally quick. He's precise in his physical movements. He even throws well on the run. He's feeding the ball to his players and giving them chances to make plays. Nix is QB1.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Impressed with
Bo Nix
DeVaughn Vele
Riley Moss
Jonah Elliss

 

[megalodon30]

Good first half. Nix looks pretty good so far.

Will be even better when he’s more comfortable in the offense and has more rapport with the receivers.

 

[megalodon30]

Looks like Nix’s day is over. Wilson in. Very positive after this one.

Hard to believe Nix will be anything but QB1.

 

[MileHigh64]

I've been very impressed with all of our running backs. Also, good balance with play calling. I know it's only preseason but Payton seems to have this team ready to play.
