ANDERSON, Ind. – A first look at the Colts’ first unofficial depth chart gives us some nuggets to consider:

Jacques McClendon is the starting left guard over Joe Reitz, though they’ve practiced in the other order.

The base offense is three wide, with Austin Collie in what’s technically the H-back spot.

Tommie Harris is fifth at left defensive tackle, a spot he’ll surely move up from.

Rookie Drake Nevis is the No. 2 left defensive tackle behind Fili Moala.

Eric Foster is the No. 2 right defensive tackle behind Antonio Johnson.

Undrafted rookie Joe Lefeged is backing up Melvin Bullitt at strong safety.

Al Afalava is backing up Antoine Bethea at free safety.

Devin Moore is the punt returner.

Undrafted David Gilreath is the punt returner.

& Chapell article above ( mistakenly blue says is by said by phil wilson ,) and Ashely Adamson of WISH-TV in Indianapolis.

STAMPEDE BLUE MAKES THIS LISTING based on all info he finds

Starting offensive line

is Jeff Linkenbach (LT), Jacques McClendon (LG), Jeff Saturday ©, Mike Pollak (RG), and Ryan Diem (RT). Anthony Castonzo backs up Linkenbach. Ben Ijalana backs up Diem. Joe Reitz backs up McClendon. Kyle DeVan backs up Pollak.

Starting defensive line

is Dwight Freeney (RE), Antonio Johnson (NT), Fili Moala (UT), and Robert Mathis. Drake Nevis backs up Fili. Eric Foster is the back-up NT. Tommie Harris is listed as fifth DT. Jamaal Anderson backs up Mathis. Jerry Hughes backs up Freeney.

Starting linebackers

are Kavell Conner (WILL), Gary Brackett (MIKE), and Pat Angerer (SAM). Ernie Sims is second string.

Undrafted rookie Joe Lefeged is the backing SS behind Melvin Bullitt. ( I DONT SEE THIS IN INDY STAR )

Base offensive set is three WRs, not two TEs. Austin Collie is a starter at slot receiver. ( I DONT SEE THIS IN INDY STAR )

Starting corners are Jerraud Powers and Jacob Lacey. Justin Tryon and Kevin Thomas are primary back-ups.

Hmmmm I'm surprised they didn't mention the running backs. I'm assuming that is because there are so many RBs on the roster that they have not made their decisions yet. I'm fairly certain it will be Addai, Brown, and Carter respectively to start the season. I'm not sure if we will have a 4th RB on the roster though. I'm also surprised that Costanzo isn't starting. I'm sure if he proves himself in pre-season, he will be able to get a starting job soon enough. I am also surprised Ijalana is listed as a RT and not a RG. I still feel McClendon and DeVan are openly competing for the LG position, but we will see. I also hope Harris will see some action this season. being fifth on the depth chart might not equate to a lot of time. I do like our depth on the lines however.

[Rich Cannon]

Yea this is just for now. Im guessing Harris will slide into the starting role for the 53 man roster and Moala will back up Harris. Good to see some changes on the offensive line. We can see what McClendon has to offer. I am also guessing sometime during the regular season Ijalana will take Diems spot in the starting lineup as well.

[Coffeedrinker]

Here's the link from the Colts site.

The only thing really suprising at this moment is Austin Collie as the primary FB/H Back. :FBshocked:

[Mrfox]

Wierd that ljalana is at tackle backing up Diem, wasnt he drafted as a guard?

[Rich Cannon]

Wierd that ljalana is at tackle backing up Diem, wasnt he drafted as a guard?

Thanks Before when I wrote it it wasnt there, Now it is

Did u note that our 3 free agents arent included in the official report link on the D while my initial 2 articles does include where they are in my OP

[coltsuser21]

looks good but we will ahve 4 runningbacks becasue devin moore is ourkick returner

[Coltswarriors]

A lot will change with the depth chart, that's for sure.

[coltsuser21]

INTERESTING....my boy javaris james is 3rd string runningback then Carter

[BlueCrew]

What's up with Collie at FB/H-B? :blowtop:

Interesting how Harris and Sims are going to have to climb the deoth chart (I'm assuming because they are vets?) and Jamaal Anderson is being set immediately at back-up DE..

If Javaris James stays at 3rd on the RB depth chart, and Devin Moore stays at KR, looks like we're keeping 5 RBs because BP doesn't cut draft picks!

[il vecchio]

A lot will change with the depth chart, that's for sure.

Yep. The first edition changes quite a bit every year.

[austriancolt]

Mike Pollak starting RG? Are you kidding me?

[Hawkeyecolt]

This depth chart means very little when so many players just started practicing on Friday.

[Colts20593]

You know that depth chart is crap when Tommie Harris is listed behind Ollie Ogbu and John Gill.

Also, I bet Castonzo wins the LT job, I'd rather see Ijalana play RG istead of Pollack.

[jskinnz]

I guess it something to talk about but there could not be a more meaningless thing than the depth chart after one week of camp.

Carter above James means nothing.

Link in front Costanzo means nothing.

Look who they have in front of Tommie Harris. Seriously?

[Coffeedrinker]

I guess it something to talk about but there could not be a more meaningless thing than the depth chart after one week of camp.

I don't know about that. Referees for professional wrestling are probably more meaningless.

Walmart greeters are probably on the same level.

A speech by President Obama is more worthless. (Ohh bad poster.)

I think I'll stop there.

Carter above James means nothing.

James is above Carter does that mean anything?

Link in front Costanzo means nothing.

Oh yes it does mean something. It obviously means the Colts made a mistake in drafting Costanzo and that he's a first round bust and the Colts should have drafted Saffold the year before and Polian has lost touch with reality and the game has passed him by and Manning is going to get sacked 25 times a game and he's not getting in younger so Polian just cost the Colts the chance of ever getting another Superbowl all because he won't ever admit he's wrong. And if he just drafted the way the fans want then the Colts would have won every Superbowl since 1998. HOW CAN YOU SAY IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look who they have in front of Tommie Harris. Seriously?

Oh well, you may have a point.

[Gunsdontkill_Bullitdoes]

Why is Nevis and Harris not starting? Last thing I heard was that they were better than Moala and Johnson

[coltsin06]

yeah most of the scouts said Ijalana would be a better fit at guard in the NFL i think they should move him inside to guard and try him there we need just as much help at guard as we do at tackle

[BCMak24]

wow james is ahead of carter and moore hmmmmm

[BCMak24]

word chris rucker is 3rd string I figured that would happen

[Smitto]

Im not gonna put much stock into that depth chart havent played on game yet some players are definitely gonna move up or down.

[CR91]

there is no way pollak makes the 53 man roster let alone starts

[jskinnz]

Well done sir. Well done.

you cant call him a first round bust because he isnt starting it's happen plenty times before

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

I don't think this chart means much right now. :rolleyes2:

[Smonroe]

word chris rucker is 3rd string I figured that would happen

Which illustrates how meaningless it is. He hasn't stepped on the field and he's ahead of a guy with some NFL experience.

Take that chart with a huge grain of salt.

[Andy]

What I noticed:

- Didn't see Dominic Rhodes

- Javarris James = #3 running back... told ya

- Ijalana backup RT

- Jacques McClendon starting LG... you told me

- Tommie Harris = #5 DT

- Jacob Lacey = starting LCB

- David Gilreath = starting PR

- Chad Spann and Devin Moore = KRs

- Jacob Tamme #3 TE

- Austin Collie = #1 FB ???

Some surprises, especially McClendon, but everything is generally good and there is obviously going to be some cuts so... let's see what happens.

[BCMak24]

someone like brandon king? lol dude is a bum

[Hawkeyecolt]

This chart means absolutely nothing when a good number of players have only been practicing since Friday. I would bet darn near anything that J.James doesn't make the final roster.

However, it will be good to finally get a look at McClendon.

[everybodysgotone]

A depth chart in an NFL lockout year with a frenzied/dust barely settled FA period and one week of official practice/OTAs. There's virtually nothing to tell here except for a few common sense items.

[CR91]

Oh well, you may have a point.

i dont know how you can call him a first round bust when he hasnt even been in a real game yet? like many posters already pointed this is a depth chart after one week of practice which means a lot can change and if your scared because we continue to hear hes getting beat my freeney and mathis dont be because thats what suppose to happen i would be shocked to hear hes dominating freeney and/or mathis. we would then starting asking whats wrong with them? how can they not beat a rookie? give it some time and lets not jump the gun.

[ColtsHoosiersBB]

Why is Nevis and Harris not starting? Last thing I heard was that they were better than Moala and Johnson

I hope your source is correct. The rotation will be pretty solid, without much of a dropoff.

The D-line may be very formidable this year.

[Malakai432]

Ouch = still worried about the offensive line!!!!

[Flaming Spaz]

if that's the starting o-line were toast in week one but I believe it would change

[Coffeedrinker]

Really guys? Wow... just wow

[CR91]

Really guys? Wow... just wow

really what? i cant tell when your joking or not

[Coffeedrinker]

really what? i cant tell when your joking or not

I thought it was enough over the top but apparently not. I guess there is just a communication gap between us white boys and guys from the hood. ;) :highfive:
