A Monster...One Piece at a time

[jtrester]

Here are my projections, looks like we are starting to fill in some gaps.

BASE 3-4 Defense

DE - Redding

NT - Chapman*

DE - Nevis

OLB - Freeney

ILB - Angerer

ILB - Conner

OLB - Mathis

CB - Powers

S - Bethea

S - Zybikowski

CB - Rucker

* Denotes Rookie

Offense

LT - Castanzo

LG - Justice+

C - Satele

RG - Ijalana

RT - McGlynn

TE - Allen*

WR1 - Wayne

WR2 - Collie

Slot - Fleener*

QB - Luck*

RB - Brown

* Denote Rookie, + Denotes best guess at this time

I don't feel like the sky is falling. We just need to get some depth at OG and CB with our last 4 picks. It is looking far better than last year!

Brandon McKinney is our 3-4 NT, did u forget?

[bahhummbug]

Justice is a T and McGlynn a OG

[spoonfish]

I think there are going to be some decent undrafted players we can get too. This ain't over yet.

[tt54l32v]

You will have to pardon me, cuase Im new but why is everyone saying corner? How many do we have? Where can I find a current roster?

[chad72]

Moala is our other starting 3-4 DE

Aj is our 4-3 NT, Nevis our 4-3 UT

[Andy]

There are still 4 picks left and the UDFA's... This is scheduled to change.

Defense

DE - Redding

NT - McKinney

DE - Moala

OLB - Freeney

ILB - Angerer

ILB - Conner

OLB - Mathis

CB - Powers

S - Bethea

S - Zybikowski

CB - Thomas

Offense

LT - Castanzo

LG - Reitz

C - Satele

RG - McGlynn

RT - Ijalana

TE - Fleener

TE 2/FB - Eldridge/Gronkowski

WR1 - Wayne

WR2 - Collie

QB - Luck

RB - Brown

That's what I think at least to start the season. I would expect it to change as the season goes along and player progress.

[chad72]

sounds good to me, GC

[jtrester]

I look for Ijalana to go back to Guard. He played guard collegiately. Chapman may end up being a better option at NT, especially on running downs.

People might be against it but I say take a chance on burfit as an UDF.

[spoonfish]

Unless I missed it, we might be able to get Chris Owusu as a undrafted player.

[GoColts8818]

He played left tackle at Villanova not guard since his freshman year. People think he can make the move to guard in the NFL but he was a tackle in college.

For our 4-3 defense look I see this:

DE - Freeney

DT - Nevis

DT - Johnson

DE - Mathis (could be Hughes if we leave Mathis at OLB)

OLB - Conner

MLB - Angerer

OLB - Edds at the moment but this could easily be Mathis or someone else and maybe play Hughes at end

CB - Powers

S - Bethea

S - Zibikowski

CB - Thomas

[HtownColt]

Now is the time to take Vontaze Burfict

[colts1993]

i cant wait until the season starts so we can seee how this defensive group attacks offenses!

[number28]

I love it how Freeney and Mathis are LB's now.

It's about time!!! thank you god!

This is just speculation, but I think we'll run more nickel than 4-3, which will leave the line-up above and a 5th DB instead of the mystery OLB.

could very well be if that's the case I'd slot Rucker in as the third CB.

Yeah, or even Caldwell/Lefeged.
