I headed back to TerreHaute today for another look-see of the Indianapolis Colts training camp. This time (for obvious reasons) I drove a car there. I took I70 and got there by 8:20 AM. I was surprised to see that the practice was moved from the Rose-Hulman Stadium (Cook Stadium)to the adjacent practice fields. That turned out to be a much cozier venue for observing practice. For here, you get much closer to the players as they go through their drills. The practice lasted much longer that the one I went to in July. It was way more intense. There were offense, defense and special teams squads all practicing separately followed by team-versus-team drills. It was a lot more fun to watch and photograph. A couple of things seemed quite interesting. First off, Marlin Jackson (cornerback) has definitely arrived as a team leader. He was quite a stud out there. I was also surprised to see backup quarterback, Jared Lorenzen (13) practicing as a long snapper (Justin Snow's position). It made me think that they are trying there best to find a place for him on the team.
