If NFL teams (and the Colts) had a CFN Scout preview

[rock8591]

I've always liked CFN (formerly www.CollegeFootballNews.com) previews of each team, from year to year. Detailed but also not too difficult to understand for the average fan.

 

e.g. http://cfn.scout.com/2/1084517.html

 

If the Colts had their preview...here's what I can see.

 

 

 

10 best players -----

1. Andrew Luck

2. Vontae Davis (Robert Mathis out for season)

3. TY Hilton

4. Dwayne Allen

5. Reggie Wayne

6. Hakeem Nicks

7. Arthur Jones

8. Jerrell Freeman

9. Ahmad Bradshaw

10. Gosder Cherilis

 

Offense -----

Star of the offense: Andrew Luck

Playwer who has to step up and become a star: Trent Richardson
Unsung star on the rise: TY Hilton

3 pro-bowl candidates: Andrew Luck, TY Hilton, Reggie Wayne

Strengths: QB, WRs, TEs

Weaknesses: Offensive Line

 

Defense-----

Star of the defense: Vontae Davis (Robert Mathis before injury)

Playwer who has to step up and become a star: Bjoern Werner
Unsung star on the rise: Arthur Jones

3 pro-bowl candidates: Vontae Davis, Arthur Jones, Jerrell Freeman

Strengths: Defensive line, ILBs

Weaknesses: Pass rush, safety

I think I mostly agree, though I'd replace Jones with Redding on the best players list, and Jones with Chapman for unsung stars on the rise. Not hating on Jones, he's a known quality vet. But Redding is a team leader and occasional brings badly needed pressures on the qb. Chapman is definitely unsung and could anchor the run defense this year.

I couldn't help but notice the spell of "player" as "playwer"...

Good post though!! Although I wish our offensive weakness was a strength! If it was we could be the best offense in the NFL! ;)

i agree with everything except the inside lbs. i think that is one of the weaknesses.

What about this?

 

Strengths (offense) - loss of Samson Satele and Mike McGlynn.

 

Strengths (defense) - loss of Fili Moala and Ricardo Matthews.

CBs are more of a strength than ILB.
