Colts training camp is rolling and one day in we have seen organization, focus, energy, and speed from Michael Pittman, Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines, EJ Speed, Julian Blackmon and more.  One workout in, it's not time to get hyper-excited, but so far, so good.  What was good, bad, and requires monitoring moving forward at Grand Park?  

(at 12:04) Is Tom Allen the right coach to lead a rebound from 2-10 to the 8-5 and 6-2 seasons that the Hoosiers enjoyed in 2019 and 2020?

The Maniac is now the ManiShaq!  Darius told the media that he has always hated being called Darius!  Kenny Moore is ready to play - and is not thinking about a contract.  Nyheim Hines wants a personal best in catches - which means more than 63!    Chris Ballard says reports he spoke to anyone about Julio Jones were wrong, but that the door is still open to a possible return of TY Hilton.  Kwity Paye was hampered as a rookie by a bad left eye.  It has been corrected, and so he expects to be better as a sophomore!

Colts came close in 2021 - one win away from the Super Bowl Bengals tallied!  Five reasons to feel very good about the Colts chances in 2022 are led by the upgrade of Matt Ryan over the fourth quarter mediocrity of Carson Wentz.  Colts should have won 11 last year - so this year, that is the expectation!
