PFF Grades Colts starting lineup.

I see the packer guy we brought in starting as he is suppose to be good at setting the edge on the run. Pagono wants to stop the run. I think Werner plays alot & could start in time.

No big deal. He'll be back and fine sharing time with Ballard.

[Narcosys]

I think we'll use multiple fronts, and in some games, Werner will be on the field for the first defensive snap of the game. Others, he won't be. And I think that goes for other so-called starters as well. 

 

That's why I think these charts should go two-deep. Or at least give a rating for the top 15 players on each unit, so you have your nickelback and pass rush specialists included, as well as your two backs and your slot receiver/second tight end.

 

 

Gotcha.  A lot of players are potential starters, dependant on the package being used.  makes sense.

Why would Fleener start over Allen? Allen was the starter the majority of last year and he's (as of now) the better player.

They both will get playing time but i think Fleener has more potential and tall,fast TE's like him usually make huge leaps in their 2nd year. Fleener has Graham type potential once he gets the mental aspect of the game he's gonna be a great one.
