Updated Colts 2008 Roster Guessing

by Brad Wells on Jun 8, 2008 1:34 PM EDT in Colts Analysis

With Luke Lawton traded and the possibility of Rosevelt Colvin getting signed, here's my updated guess as to what the 2008 Colts roster will look like:

QBs: (2) - Peyton Manning, Jim Sorgi

RBs: (3) - Joseph Addai, Dominic Rhodes, Kenton Keith

FBs: (1) - Mike Hart

This is more of a goal-line specialist position than a true fullback.

WRs: (6) - Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Anthony Gonzalez, Devin Aromashodu, Roy Hall, Pierre Garcon

TEs: (4) - Dallas Clark, Tom Santi, Jacob Tamme, Justin Snow

OL: (9) - Tony Ugoh, Jeff Saturday, Ryan Diem, Ryan Lilja, Mike Pollak, Charlie Johnson, Michael Toudouze, Daniel Federkeil, Steve Justice

DT: (5) - Ed Johnson, Quinn Pitcock, Keyunta Dawson, Darrell Reid, Eric Foster

DE: (5) - Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis, Marcus Howard, Raheem Brock, Josh Thomas, Rosevelt Colvin

Colvin added to the pass rushing mix here.

OLB: (4) - Freddie Keiaho, Tyjuan Hagler, Clint Session, Ramon Guzman

ILB: (2) - Gary Brackett, Philip Wheeler

CBs: (6) - Marlin Jackson, Kelvin Hayden, Dante Hughes, Michael Coe, TJ Rushing

Tim Jennings gets cut to make room for Colvin. The Colts seem more obsessed with pass rushers this season than depth in the secondary. Likely, Indy will retain one or two DBs on the practice squad.

FS/SS: (4) - Bob Sanders, Antoine Bethea, Matt Giordano, Brandon Condren

Specialists: (2) - Adam Vinatieri, Hunter Smith

Colvin

Every day I get less and less excited about a Colvin signing. I just prefer Curtis Johnson, who isn’t getting washed up and is not injury prone.

Colvin has 52.5 career sacks and two 10+ sack seasons in the NFL. Johnson had 18.5 sacks in DII and 17.5 in JuCo. Colvin’s top 4 NFL seasons have more sacks than Johnson’s college career against far far far lesser competition. I hope Johnson will become a great player for the Colts but even if he’s Robert Mathis the second he’ll need time to adjust. Mathis had 3.5 sacks his rookie year and he was more highly thought of coming out.

And while were talking about Mathis, Colvin has more career sacks

The Colts should be able to stash Johnson away on the practice squad. To any other team he’s a project player as a OLB. While Johnson learns Colvin can produce at a high level.

still not excited about colvin.

for a multitude of reasons, but the big three are:

1) he has a significant injury history and he’s up there in age.

2) the patriots’ personnel moves are almost always on point, and even though colvin getting cut was in part due to salary, with as thin as the pats are at lb, i have to believe they would have kept him around if they thought he’d continue to be productive.

3) like colts homer i would rather see howard, johnson, and co. log those snaps and gain that experience, and save the money and roster spot for toudouze or lb depth.

He was owed 5.5 million

and was going to count 7.6 million against the cap. He’s not worth that. That’s why he was cut.

Not sure I see Jennings getting cut here.

More than likely they use one less DE, DT or maybe WR. (I think no Colvin)

Besides that, this is a great roster prediction. I like the Eric Foster call. I expect we will see him in uniform this season. What a position of depth that has become for us.
