90 Man Roster

Here’s what the Colts call a refresher. A position by position breakdown of the current roster. 

 

15 offensive linemen, I expect they’ll carry about 10

 

13 wide receivers, I expect 5-6 to be on the final roster 

 

15 defensive linemen, Reich preached about rushing the passer in “waves”. So could they keep 10? That’s the position I’m most interested in heading into TC and the 53 man cut down

 

Also, this roster turnover/overhaul is insane. So many names and faces I have to learn. Won’t worry about learning jersey numbers really until the final cuts happen

Couldn't agree more with that last statement. Not sure I ever remember a training camp like this one will be. With very few exceptions, every spot on the roster seems like it is "up for grabs."

Exactly. I’m not usually one to really watch preseason so to speak but this year I’m thinking I’ll be watching all 4 games. So much depth here on this team and new faces

Reich has already gone on record saying they’re not showing anything in the preseason games, so we may not get a true feel for who’s doing well by watching the games.   At least we should have QBs who don’t stink this time.  

 

The Dline and LBs are going to be interesting to see who emerges.  Assuming health, the 3-5/6 WR spots are going to be wide open.  I’m not betting that Grant makes the team, except he’s one of the few with experience.  

 

Cant wait!

I would not be surprised if we keep more than 10 DL. Sheard, Basham, Turay, Simon, McCain, Autry, Lewis, Woods, ridgeway, Laulile, Stewart, and Hunt are the ones I see making the roster. 5 DTs, 5 DEs, and 2 hybrids. The hard part is getting them all playing time. McCain depending on his legal investigation could be off.

Are there any of these you think won’t make it?

is that with father time factored in or without ? probably makes a pretty big difference one way or the other.

Not sure. Just would image it’s all ages added up and find the average 

 

And then the number will again change once the cutdown to 53 happens

That’s a lot of DL to keep. 53 man roster and 10 are DL?

Who do you think is getting cut? From the DEs Simon and McCain are the only ones that can be cut, but it’s hard to see them getting cut. The others are locks. From the DTs maybe Hunt and Stewart are possible cuts. Laulile I think has too high of a ceiling to get cut but it’s possible

They won't keep 12 DL for certain, no way one position group is 1/4 of your roster.  10? maybe......  I see nine.  Sheard, Basham, Turay, Simon, Autry, Ridgeway, Woods, Stewart, Lewis.  Laulile to the PS more likely than roster.

Simon may get traded. Not sure how he’d fair as a DE. If I’m Ballard I’d call KC Chiefs about shipping simon there since they run 3-4 and Ballard is cool with them

Without averaging Vinnie in the age drops another year to 23.6

    • I'm all for doubling down and going EDGE in the 1st again. Just got to make sure we get the right one. Depending on where we draft, I'm okay with trading up a couple of picks to snatch the better pass rusher of the bunch. Since there will be a good amount of rushers, I hear, let's go get the better one. I can also see the draft being the opposite as this years. Most teams will go defense now in this draft, and very good offensive players fall. I think we are perfect on offense, that's why I'm okay with trading up to get the guy we need on defense.
    • IMHO , its all about perspective   If you treat Pierce as WR1, you will be disappointed   If you treat Pierce as a solid contributor, you will be pleased   - The man can block, maybe the best blocking WR on this team - The man has speed - The man can rotate in with our other WRs   I do believe that AD Mitchell will take over as a starting outside WR   The reality is, 17 games is a LONG season,    Pittman and AD Mitchell will be "fresher" for the end of the game as they are rotated in and out   The odds say that there will be injuries, and we could see Pierce be a starter on either side   I for one, WANT to keep Pierce thru his rookie deal (We will see after that)      
    • Zach Moss is no RB1.  If he showed signs he was the Bills wouldn’t have traded him for Hines who also is no RB1.  Moss is a RB 2.  A good one too.  Fortunately for him a season playing behind the Colts OL worked out favorably for him. Moss became available because we have an RB1 and the Bengals jumped at the chance to fill a hole in their lineup and Moss can do that like he did for the Colts when Taylor wasn’t available.  He is not a back teams have to worry about like they have to do for Taylor.  Every team needs an RB1.  He was the Bills RB1 for a short time and shipped off to the Colts for Hines.  And they drafted him.  He certainly belongs on a NFL roster.  I wish he stayed to back up Taylor.  But money and opportunity always talks as it should.  I worry about our RB position if something happens to Taylor for a long period.  I think we should be looking for a proven player who would be that true backup you can rely on behind Taylor.  Right now that backup position is a position that concerns me.   The other being starting FS.
