I don't know tbh.  Googling around, there appears to be very little difference from high school to the NFL.  I'm not sure why Luck was using one.

 

I just read it was a high school ball and saw the Luck quite here:

I saw the Mental block thing, but I also saw that he stated in an interview that he threw the normal NFL ball one on one with Reich.

 

Honestly it may just be a difference in the feel other the leather and him using that for comfort to get back in the normal routine of throwing short routes with the team. I truly dont know the answer tho.

Don't HS and College use the same size?

I can confirm HS and NCAA use the same ball. Pretty much the same material as well with the only differences being between brands.

Thank goodness.  That was weird

I liked Simon last year, hopefully he does handle the switch in schemes well

I didnt realize until today that Coach Reich is also the QB coach. Reich will be a huge improvement/help for Luck over the previous regiment. Not to mention Coach Reich had the same surgery Luck did when he retired.

Deon Cain apparently is looking good. So thats cool, I liked his pick quite a bit

 

Our weakest unit, linebackers, took a hit with Walker getting hurt, again. He was getting as many first team reps as anyone......

I'm excited about Cain. He's got good size, and hes only played WR for 4 years so I think he'll be good. I also saw that Turbin apparently looked really good in minicamp. The guy has always had loads of potential hes just never fully tapped into it. He's still only 28 and doesnt have a lot of carries on his body so we definitely will have options back there.

 

I saw it was a concussion, hopefully its not one of those cases where he has lingering effects.

Turbin is that dude that people hate for no reason. Guy was one of the best short yardage backs in the league last year before getting hurt, but lots of people don't like him

Really like how the RB and WR situations are playing out. Excited to see more in training camp.

Deon Cain is working out with Randy Moss. I love this kid, dude is gonna be one of the steal's of the draft

And once training camp starts he'll be learning from Reggie Wayne and TY.

[KingPG21 6,582]

Jack Mewhort is retiring. Guess not too surprised, dude couldn't stay healthy

[Dalton26 16,892]

Some recent tape of Luck has been looking damn good. I've also read that apparently our rookie Quenton Nelson has a bit of a much needed mean streak.

[KingPG21 6,582]

Malik Hooker expected back for 3rd preseason game. Deon Cain looking good in camp, Marlon Mack making big strides. Can't wait for this Thursday

His head smacked the ground pretty hard there, good to see him bounce right back up

[KingPG21 6,582]

It is nuts that EJ Manuel was once a first round pick. 

[TheWatShot 13,641]

I think this preseason has been the least amount of time I've spent following the Colts. Don't get me wrong, it's great that Luck is recovering, but everything else is "The Colts are so banged up at such and such positions" or "The Colts are so thin at this spot and that spot, need more talent all across the board," etc.

 

It's honestly depressing what Irsay, Grigson and Pagano have done to this franchise.
