Play of the day so far? Breakaway run for Frank Gore. Drew roar from crowd. #ColtsCamp15

Little pushing and shoving after the play between #Raiders rookie OL Jon Feliciano and a defender, looked like Neiron Ball.

Michael Dyer follows his blockers notably Jon Feliciano to plow in for a five yard touchdown. #Raiders

LaDarius Gunter even impressing on special teams. Coaches give #Packers CB kudos for big block to spring Micah Hyde kickoff return.

Michael Gehlken ‏@UTgehlken Aug 2
Only took 2 padded practices for McCoy to single out Denzel Perryman unprompted: "You saw 52 ... (make) some big collisions on lead blocks."

George Bremer ‏@gmbremer Aug 2
Rookie Phillip Dorsett continues to impress. Has made a couple nice grabs while draped by defenders. #ColtsCamp15

Read into it what you wish: Tomlin, any time Chickillo was up next in backs-on-backers, would make sure he announced "Chickillo is up!"

Jeremy Fowler ‏@JFowlerESPN Jul 30
Anthony Chickillo with another good day at Steelers camp. He stands out. OLB coach Joey Porter consistently good-jobing him. #steelers

Mark Kaboly ‏@MarkKaboly_Trib Jul 30
Chickillo was the one who stood out today. Looks fast. Can't wait to see him in game situations.

Kevin Jones ‏@Mr_KevinJones Jul 31
RB Duke Johnson just beat CB Tramon Williams over the middle on a crisp route. Duke adds an entirely different element to this offense

It's early but LaDarius Gunter catches the eye. #packers

Pete Prisco ‏@PriscoCBS Jul 30
Rookie corner Gunter with a **** of a pick of Rodgers. At 6-2, he looks the part

Ryan Wood ‏@ByRyanWood Jul 30
McCarthy on #Packers CB LaDarius Gunter: "He's done some good things. I think he's gone in there and competed well."

James C Wexell ‏@jimwexell Jul 30
I asked Tomlin for his take on Chickillo today, fully expecting nothing on a rookie, but Tomlin said "Good work." # Steelers.

its about team unity. the distractions are gone. the kids this year are buying in. they are process orientated
 
Ted Hendricks is affiliated with two loser organizations. The guy deserves better.

I am hoping like **** that Hank makes the Falcons. Something tells me he and Ryan would make a good combo.
 
But I thought everyone here told me Chickillo was too slow and that is had nothing to do with being made 30lbs overweight.

Good stuff. Good to see these kids standing out.
 
NFL: Indianapolis Colts Most Exciting Rookie, Wide Receiver Phillip Dorsett - Sports - AllMediaNY


With the Indianapolis Colts reporting to training camp on Saturday, we’re going to breakdown the club’s most exciting player from their 2015 draft class, wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (first round/29th overall pick):

Measurables: 5’10”, 185 pounds, 30 ¼” arms, 9 3/8” hands

Timed Drills: 4.33 40-yard dash, 37” vertical jump, 10’2” broad jump, 4.11 short shuttle, 6.70 three-cone, 13 bench press

When Dorsett broke the 4.4 mark with ease you knew his stock would be on the rise. Not just one of the fastest receivers (96th percentile among WRs according to mockdraftable.com), Dorsett can run with anyone in this draft class and more importantly, the NFL. More than a straight-line runner, Dorsett also moves well when he runs routes (75th percentile in the 20-yard shuttle) and he can change directions well in small quarters (85th percentile in the three-cone drill). In addition, he provides some explosiveness.

At 5’10” and just 185 pounds, Dorsett is among the smallest pass catchers coming out of the 2015 NFL Draft, with short arms. His size, or lack thereof, will limit Dorsett at times. The Miami man does have average sized hands, ranking in the 52nd percentile.

Skill Set:

Judging by his timed numbers it should come as no surprise that Dorsett is an elite deep threat, a big play waiting to happen. His straight-line speed and ability to cut without losing much momentum, makes him hard to contain. At The U, Dorsett was able to get behind defenses whenever he wanted. He also tracks the ball very well and has proven to have very reliable hands.

As a route runner Dorsett enters the NFL a little raw and will need some coaching up in that department, especially when it comes to short and intermediate routes. While his 40-yard dash was elite, his 10-yard split ranked in the 58th percentile among receivers so he doesn’t get off the LOS as quickly as one would like.

With that said, here's today's practice notes:

Play of the day? My pick for the play of the day today actually didn't happen in 11-on-11, so perhaps that's cheating, but rather it happened in 7-on-7 drills. Andrew Luck couldn't find anyone open and so instead rolled to his left (remember, he's a right handed quarterback so rolling to his left is the more difficult one) and saw Phillip Dorsett, who was running a route across the middle, start to break open deep. Luck then threw a beautiful pass while on the run to his left that fell right into Dorsett's arms as he then took it the rest of the way for a score. It was a fantastic play by Luck, and if he can buy time like that in the regular season, Dorsett could have more plays like it as well by getting open deep.

Didn't all the football geniuses on this board tell me Dorsett can't run routes across the middle? Maybe it's because our coaches didn't know how to use him for anything other than deep passes.

I also thought I've been told that he's only a straight line speed guy and had no agility or lateral movement, but the article you posted above by an actual professional seems to contradict that.

Seriously, some of these guys around here with their agendas just need to use their common sense. Some of the comments I see here make me feel like guys watch 4-5 plays in a game and base their entire opinion of a player based on that. Kind of like Duke had a big fumble = overrated and always costing us games.

GM's touting their investments in camps...this is ground breaking ****.
 
Zak Keefer ‏@zkeefer 5h5 hours ago Really nice night of practice for Phillip Dorsett. Has done nothing but impress since he got here after the draft.

George Bremer ‏@gmbremer 7h7 hours ago
Frank Gore follows INT with a 50-yard TD run. Then Phillip Dorsett split double coverage for a TD catch from Matt Haselbeck. #ColtsCamp15


Colts believe Phillip Dorsett has superstar potential


Appearing on Wednesday's edition of the Around The NFL Podcast, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport relayed a sentiment at Colts training camp that Dorsett's skill set is essentially a carbon copy of Redskins deep threat DeSean Jackson's.

​
"They could not be higher on Phillip Dorsett," added Rapoport, who was onsite in Anderson, Indiana, on Tuesday. "I think they think they added a superstar."

When Rapoport asked a Colts coach if he was surprised they didn't address a porous defense with their top draft pick, the response was, "Well, no. This guy's that good."
 
Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer Aug 4 At Browns today. Worth noting: They have big plans for Duke Johnson. So they'll be careful w/his hamstring. Could be out couple more weeks.

Art Stapleton ‏@art_stapleton Aug 2
Andre Williams on Ereck Flowers: "He is at a level above where I've seen other tackles play that kind of scheme. He just captures people."

Art Stapleton ‏@art_stapleton Aug 2
Andre Williams told me this today about Ereck Flowers' growth as a player right now: "The way he plays the outside zone game is special."

Ryan Wood ‏@ByRyanWood 8h8 hours ago
Joe Witt has high praise for #Packers UDFA LaDarius Gunter: "He really doesn’t care who’s across from him. He thinks he can defend anybody."
 
That fact that we won only 6 games last year is mind blowing. I have never seen a staff so utterly clueless and incompetent when it comes to utilizing talent. This is so pathetic. This staff is truly a complete embarrassment to this program. I know I'm beating a dead horse here but WTF? How are these clowns still employed?
