Exactly How Many Colts Are Still Here From 2009?

[oldunclemark]

This is not my list......Its a past poster...but I have had this list challenged in off board debates

Of the Colts who started the Super Bowl in 2009...

..exactly how many started opening day of 2011

DEFENSE

Jacob Lacey

Melvin Bullett

Antwan Bethea

Gary Brackett

Robert Mathis

Dwight Freeney

Phillip Wheeler (I believe)

Antonio Johnson (this is the one I'm not sure about)

OFFENSE

Ryan Diem

Jeff Saturday

Reggie Wayne

Dallas Clark

Joe Addai

Pierre Garcon

NOT INCLUDED:

Austin Collie and Donald Brown (who were not listed as starters in the Super Bowl)

Pat Angerer, Kavell Conner and Anthony Costanzo (who were still in college)

..and Adam Vinateri..who was injured...

Is this list correct? Do we REALLY still have 14 starters (minus the old country boy) from the Super Bowl team?

Cant the person who made this post originally (or anyone) fact check this ?

That can't be true if you listen to had bad some posters think this team is.

From that list going into 2012

the only starters that are NOT free agents

Peyton Manning

Joseph Addai

Austin Collie

Dallas Clark

Dwight Freeney

Gary Brackett

Jerraud Powers

Jacob Lacey (RFA??)

Melvin Bullitt

Antoine Bethea

Antonio Johnson

I glanced over it quickly so I may have forgotten some

so 11/22 starters

10/22 not counting Manning

8/22 that were not on IR last year

Forget starters there's not much difference, its basically the same team. We don't have Brock or Session and now we have Sims, Hughes, Angerer, Nevis, Thomas, and Rucker. There's not much difference except depth.

..so the number of players who started the Super Bowl and who started the 2011 season is 14

..not counting Collie and Brown (who didnt start the Super Bowl)

and Peyton Manning (who didnt start the 2011 season).

The number is 14 or 15 with Wheeler, right? Did Phillip Wheeler start the Super Bowl?

well it depends, do you mean from opening day 2011 or any time in 2011?

[oldunclemark]

opening day..AL...that's the debate I was having

[WSO]

I dont know about 2009 SB starting roster but my guess is 17

17 out of the 22 2009 roster that started at any point are still on the current roster.

Take into account free agency and that number is cut in nearly half.

True.........but its starters..that is the technical point

(Brown and Collie dont technically count as they didnt start the SB) and Brackett..Johnson, (who I know may never return due to his injury) Bethea didnt finish the 2011 season but they did start it....so the number is 15.

[WSO]

Ok I checked.

7 of the 11 offensive starters are still on the roster.

10 of the 11 defensive starters

Manning

Addai

Wayne

Garcon

Clark

Saturday

Diem

Freeney

Mathis

Muir

Johnson

Wheeler

Brackett

Lacey

Powers

Bullitt

Bethea

I thought Clark was hurt that whole year? maybe that was 2010
