[dudeski]

No to Donald brown and adongo being a de or on the team. Way too weak at de

[Dustin]

Adongo is a linebacker.

[Caleb3502]

Adongo is a linebacker.

I think Adongo could make a transition to DE

[Dustin]

I think Adongo could make a transition to DE

 

Maybe if he puts on 50 lbs.

[TKnight24]

I think Adongo could make a transition to DE

He went from rugby to OLB

They're not gonna make him a DE in a 3-4 just so he can get blown off the ball every down

He's an OLB, period

[dudeski]

I think Adongo could make a transition to DE

no

Is this better

Not bad

That team isn't winning a super bowl

I beg to differ

[CanuckColt]

That Colts 'D' stands for Depressing.....yuck!   40 pts per game allowed again in next year's playoffs.

[Kurtis Patrick M]

I beg to differ

All Colts fans should realize by now that one man cant win it all for you.

[Kurtis Patrick M]

We need a DEFENSE. The office is well off

[COLTS449]

Wootton is a DE in a 43 scheme. He weighs 270. If for some reason we did sign him, He would be an OLB. Adongo will never be a DE in 34 scheme.

[RomanianColtsFan]

I have no idea how you came out with all those players that are not on the end of the year roster.

[coltsfanatic24]

We can't come back next year with the same entire d-line and Toler as starters if we want to have a top 10 defense. Chapman even though he hasn't showed much is still young and can improve so i wouldn't mind if he starts, but he does need competition. RJF, Redding, and Toler has to be replaced. Redding could be good on 3rd downs but his days of starting should be over. RJF and Toler were backups before we signed them and should be going into this year. I also don't think will resign Bethea, Brown, or Vaughn. 

 

FA

Sign: Brian De la Puente C, Arthur Jones DE, Corey Graham CB

 

Draft

2. Yawin Smallwood, ILB, Connecticut  

3. E.J Gaines, CB, Missouri

5. Beau Allen, NT, Wisconsin

6. Kenneth Acker, FS, SMU

7. Ben Malena, RB, Texas A&M 

[NewColtsFan]

I think Adongo could make a transition to DE

 

Not in a 3-4.

 

In a 4-3,  maybe. 

 

But we don't play that.

 

He's 6'5" and 250 and athletic.    He's an OLB.

 

[Deathiltis]

I think Adongo could make a transition to DE

Not gunna happen.

[Solon]

I feel like we're going to sign Jairus Byrd or Hakeem Nicks. I don't see Jim Irsay allowing Grigson to sign these no-name undrafted free agents with the money we have available. Look forward to a big signing this offseason.

[GoColtsGo5150]

My roster ( following my mock)

 

Quarterback: - Andrew Luck, Matt Hasselbeck

Runningbacks: Vick Ballard, Trent Richardson, Chris Rainey (KR), Stanley Havili (FB)

Wide Receivers: Reggie Wayne, Allen Robinson, T.Y. Hilton, Griff Whalen, Da'Rick Rogers, LaVon Brazill, DHB ( ST)

Tight Ends: Coby Fleener, Dwayne Allen, Jack Doyle

Offensive Tackles: Anthony Castonzo, Gosder Cherilus, Xavier Nixon, Corneilus Lucas

Offensive Guards: Donald Thomas, Hugh Thornton, Jon Asamoah

Center: Alex Mack Khaled Holmes

 

Defensive Ends: Ricky Jean Francois, Cory Redding, Arthur Jones

Defensive Tackles: Josh Chapman, Montori Hughes, Justin Ellis

Outside Linebackers: Robert Mathis, Erik Walden,  Bjoern Werner, Andy Studebaker, Daniel Adongo

Inside Linebackers: Jerrell Freeman, Kelvin Sheppard, Josh McNary, Shayne Skov

Cornerbacks: Vontae Davis, Jimmy Smith, Darius Butler, Cassius Vaughn, Sheldon Price, UDFA ( or someone like Marcus Sherels-Return purposes)

Safeties: Jairus Byrd, LaRon Landry, Sergio Brown, Sean Parker

 

Kicker: Adam Vinatieri

Punter: Pat McAfee

Long Snapper: Matt Overton

 

Altogether, that should make 53.

[The Peytonator]

I think Adongo could make a transition to DE

 

 

You should honestly pursue a career in standup.

[Crunked]

Isn't Zombo and OLB? 

[Gavin]

Isn't Zombo and OLB? 

Yep

[Crunked]

I think we are going to see a lot of these threads where someone will eventually plug Byrd as an option at Safety, and although I would love to have him, I don't think generally speaking I would like our biggest FA splash being at the safety position when the O-line and LB'er core are the areas in biggest need of upgrade.......Maybe Werner bulks up and fills the other outside hole this upcoming season, but Mathis is no spring chicken, we should still be looking to the future....and Angerer, I really rallied for him, but injuries.....it just "aint-a-gonna work" ....so another ILB......The O.P. in this thread I disagree with Zombo out of position he is marginal at best at his standard spot, Adongo a gonner after you ride him through the learn what football is phase, why dump him when you are about to find out if you were right about his ability.....Having said all of that, its early and we may see someone we didn't anticipate available for whatever reason, or a trade open up that we cannot yet forsee....so this is as good as any.

You may feel that way about "no-name" free agents we signed, as a fan, but thank goodness we don't have an owner that is in the middle of personnel the way you are suggesting.  

[GoColts00]

I think we get a Safety, D-Lineman, OLB, and a P in the Draft. An ILB, OG, C, CB in FA.

 

Ed Reynolds, Jeremiah Attaochu, Ryan Carrethers, Cory Webster in the draft.

Perry Riley, Geoff Schwartz, Aqib Talib, and De la Puente in FA

[Solon]

I'm not talking about Jim taking control over roster moves. I see it more as a "Hey Ryan, try and sign someone big this offseason. I understand you hit the jackpot with Jerrell Freeman, but let's not put our focus on undrafted free agents." I see it as more of a hallway discussion.

Oh, I see.  Well, I hope that doesn't work either.
