OFFENSE

— In his first throwing performance with full pads, quarterback Andrew Luck was 19-for-22 passing with two touchdowns — one each to tight ends Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron. Both were from about six yards out. Ebron had another one taken away. It was an odd situation because the end zones were moved 10 yards up after wide receiver Chester Rogers had suffered a scary fall earlier in the session in the back of one of the end zones. On the touchdown to Ebron that did count, it was down the right side near the back of the end zone. Ebron had to jump up and adjust himself in front of the defender. The one that didn't count was very similar, but was on the left side.

— Luck's passes had a good amount of zip on them, and he appears to be able to make every throw on the field. Short, intermediate, deep — he's thrown them all. And to all zones of the field. Luck is even throwing accurate passes while rolling out of the pocket.

— The size of the Colts' receivers was very evident during end zone passing drills. The quarterbacks would be lined up from about the six-yard line and were throwing posts and corner routes, giving the receivers challenging throws that had them testing their length.

— Rogers' route running was in excellent shape during one-on-one drills, pitting receivers and tight ends against defensive backs. That was even after Rogers got shaken up just about 10 minutes prior after slipping outside of the end zone.

— This isn't necessarily a clear view of the depth chart all the way through, but in quarterback-center exchange drills, Ryan Kelly snapped to Luck, Joe Haeg snapped to Jacoby Brissett, Deyshawn Bond snapped to Phillip Walker and Mark Glowinski snapped to Brad Kaaya. For the most part, the Colts have only used Kelly and Haeg at center during scrimmages.

— The first-team offensive line appeared to be: Mewhort (LT), Quenton Nelson (LG), Kelly (C), Matt Slauson (RG) and Denzelle Good (RT).

— Le'Raven Clark (LT) and Braden Smith (RG) even got occasional reps with the first-unit offensive line.

— Deon Cain, K.J. Brent and James Wright got occasional snaps with the first unit at receiver, as did Mo Alie-Cox and Ross Travis at tight end.

— We saw three tight ends used at once with the first team on occasion; Doyle, Ebron and Erik Swoope being the three.

— We saw our first vintage Luck-to-T.Y. Hilton performance of camp, as the pair hooked up on a couple of deep gains. One was a corner route to the left sideline for about 25 yards. The other was deep down the left hash about 35-40 yards on play-action. Luck drew the safety out of the frame and uncorked it to Hilton.

— There continues to be no clear front-runner at running back, as they all continue to rotate through each unit.

— Considering how physical practice was tonight, the running backs looked pretty good. Marlon Mack, Robert Turbin and Jordan Wilkins all looked very effective. Mack continued his effort in getting physical as a runner, and his surgically-repaired left shoulder has not looked to hamper him one bit. Wilkins in particular contributed well as a pass catcher and showed patience by following his blocks.

— We continue to see rookie running back Nyheim Hines used all over the field. He got a couple of jet sweeps tonight after seeing some reverses in earlier practices. Hines also received some punt returns.

— Cain continued his hot camp by scoring two touchdowns tonight, both from Brissett. Both scores were from about six yards out. On the first play, Cain made a defender miss and strolled into the end zone. The second one, he leaped up over the defender and snatched it. His body control throughout these first several practices has certainly been special.

— Speaking of Brissett, he looks pretty good. We're all paying attention to Luck at quarterback, so it's easy to miss the progress that Brissett has made. Tonight, he threw three red zone touchdowns (two to Cain and another to Ross Travis) and ran in for another. They were all from about six yards. The ball on the touchdown to Travis looked like it came out of a rifle. The strong throws means some occasional overthrows, but he has been in sync with his pass-catchers.

— Because of how out in the open Cain has been, many people ask about fellow rookie receiver Reece Fountain. He has had a pretty routine camp to this point. Tonight, he caught a nice 15-yard in route on a beautiful ball from Kaaya.

— On the second play of 11-on-11s, Turbin took a handoff and lowered his shoulder into safety Matthias Farley, who rolled back onto the ground. It was one of the bigger hits I've seen at Colts Camp in the last few years.

— The Colts offensive line has stressed nastiness and toughness, and it showed tonight. At one point, a defender took a rough shot on Hines and Slauson was having no part of it. Tempers flared after that and it caused a large commotion. Slauson had another play shortly after where defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway came in low and Slauson threw him to the ground. Safety T.J. Green and Nelson also got into it a bit later after a screen play.

— Especially early on in the 11-on-11s, the team was very physical. There was a lot of pad-popping and being as rough as they could. There were even some actual tackles.

— Smith and Clark both had false starts on the line and were replaced in the lineup, showing some accountability on the coaches' part.
