Strangest thing to me about all this was why Jay refused to comment on Colts injury yesterday, saying he wasn't revealing that until today when teams are required to list the injury report.

Led to all sorts of unneeded speculation. I have a theory that the reason Colts minor foot cut injury leaked out late yesterday was a result of the QB2 speculation for the Eagles game.

I thought it might have been sort of a feeler move too. He could have deflected all of the speculation by giving any number of other reasons why Colt was not practicing.

Feeler move for what exactly? The only opinions that matter are in the front office and that won't be changed by the media speculation angle that resulted.

I think it was simply a poorly thought out statement by him myself.

Injury reports aren't due until Wednesday. Media noticed Colt not practicing. Jay isn't very articulate at times.

He certainly provides the media with sound bites. Needs to take a lesson out of what he's probably told he who shall not be named, heh.

Can't say that I disagree with you, however, sometimes those slip ups reveal more than what is publicly known. It would not surprise me that Gruden suffers from short leash syndrome. So far, we saw it a season ago at QB and there's an inkling of the same at RB this year.

I'm absolutely positive he's on a short leash. And his comments do reveal that he often seems out of his depth. Of course this is also expected with a young first time head coach with a losing franchise and patience needs to prevail.

Surprised they are not choosing to practice (at least some) outside the bubble. Then again, with all the injuries, maybe not smart to tempt fate.

Really wish we used Darrel Young more. There has to be a way to implement him more effectively.

I fucken hate Gruden at this point. His blaming everyone but him act is lame. No excuses Jay, just shut up and coach. Follow the advice you gave RG3.

In as much as I wish that was not so, I must agree with you about that short leash and the need for some patience.
