NT: Chapman, McKinney, Johnson

DE: Nevis, Redding, Moala, Mathews

OLB: Mathis, Freeney, Fugger, Hughes, Hickman/Addison

LS: Overton/Snow

Is this about right?

[gthatch15]

Yes, I would say this is pretty accurate. With everything the Colts have done in the off-season, they actually have good players to go out and play and start. I would throw Cameron Chism in there as a CB and the Safety from North Carolina in place of a couple players as I really like Chism a lot, but that's just me.

[NWGirl227]

do you guys think the team will go with two wr's to start or two te's? Luck seemed to thrive last year with multiple te sets. just curious.

[CR91]

why would we carry two LS

[Balzer40]

why would we carry two LS

The ( / ) means one or another.

[CR91]

The ( / ) means one or another.

oh gotcha

[colts52761]

3 nt's?

[CR91]

3 nt's?

NT is a very tiring job for the big fatty's plus who knows how healthy chapman is and if he can be effective his rookie year.

54 and no Hughes,Whalen, Overton PS close but we will se I expect a Diff roster.Evans also too many backs and can Karim be on PS since hes been in league?

[alawai]

Thanks OllyD, you guys are great to do projections, mocks and all. That takes time, study and yes a little guess work but a big cheer for you guys in keeping the Colts spirit alive.

[Playoffs2013]

i actually think Whalen will make it over Ross for the Practice Squad and i think Antionio Johnson will be cut and we will instead put Anunoby just because of the fresh start

[LUCKyday]

You think they cut Hughes?

No sorry i just forgot him cuz hes never on the feild

[Balzer40]

i actually think Whalen will make it over Ross for the Practice Squad and i think Antionio Johnson will be cut and we will instead put Anunoby just because of the fresh start

I was thinking the same thing about AJ. IMO he sucked as a 4-3 DT so I don't see him being able to take on 2 blockers as a NT in the 3-4. I don't know a lot about Anunoby, but I know he is supposed to be very stout and hard to move off the line.

[MTC]

NT is a very tiring job for the big fatty's plus who knows how healthy chapman is and if he can be effective his rookie year.

Usually you don't roll with that many traditional NT types on your 53 man roster because those guys tend not to be special teams contributors. Instead of going with three NTs, most teams just seem to go with two and will have DEs ready to move inside in a real pinch. Your big space eaters also tend to get enough rest just by virtue of the fact that they tend to be 2-down players and get moved off the field in nickle packages and obvious passing situations.

Of course, in this case I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson was primarily a DE.

[GrizzColt]

Add TE Dominque Jones to the list. Pagano actually mentions his name in an article looking pretty good.

[Moncrief]

Well here I go....

QB: Andrew Luck

RB: Andrew Luck

WR: Andrew Luck

DL: Andrew Luck

.....oh wait we don't have Bill Polian anymore. We don't center our team around 1 player.

But in all seriousness I appreciate what he did for our team up until 08

2TE.. although I think there will be a ton of different looks... 2 TE is rookie friendly.

you have karim on the practice squad and the roster but i think he will make it over someone like Darren Evans

i like karim as our KR and hilton as the PR

[bahhummbug]

i actually think Whalen will make it over Ross for the Practice Squad and i think Antionio Johnson will be cut and we will instead put Anunoby just because of the fresh start

I cannot see where Mookie would fit in he could be a casualty soon.
