Colts release first depth chart

by Aerostar193 on Aug 10, 2009 5:43 PM EDT

Few notes:

PUP players were put at the bottom of the depth chart. So please don't go jump off a bridge after seeing Bob Sanders listed as a third-stringer.
Antonio Johnson is the starter at NT over Daniel Muir. This shouldn't come as much of a surprise, considering most of us were very high on Mookie during the offseason to win the job. Whether it's Johnson, Muir, or even Taylor, I think the Colts are going to be very comfortable at the position this year. Also, we need to come up with a nickname for DT's now, providing they preform well. The Vikings have the Williams Wall, so what could the Johnsons be? The Juncture? Help me out here.
Robert Mathis has once again been inserted into the starting lineup over Raheem Brock. Personally, I prefer Mathis in a situational pass rusher role, but I doubt it will matter much come game time.
Chad Simpson is listed as the kick returner, ahead of T.J. Rushing. I had him written off my mock roster, but I guess he's going to stick.
Pierre Garcon is listed as the 3rd receiver, but I'm guessing that's subject to change, as is the entire depth chart throughout preseason.

this might be a good sign for ugoh

seeing bob at the end of the depth chart. I understand he is on PUP and that is a different situation when compared to Ugohs, but I still think it might be something postive.

Johnson-Johnson Gap Nickname

The Johnson Joint?

Yep. Resorting to weed humor.

Things that I think will change

I’m mad that Moala isn’t starting. He’s a rookie, but I think he’s got more upside than any other DT on the team. Except maybe Ed Johnson.

Roy Hall is ahead of Austin Collie? He must’ve done something amazing during Training Camp.

Chad Simpson is ahead of Lance Ball. And he’s returning kicks. I think collie and powers should have the KR job.

Gijon ahead of Tamme at the H-B spot. AND he’s ahead of Santi at the TE spot? what did he DO in training camp?

only a first draft

Remember this is only a first draft for the final team. I don’t think this means much at the moment. I am surprised at a number of the placings on the depth chart. None of this means much I think until they have seen how these guys do in preseason. Practice field is one thing, game day is another.

An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...

Hope to see a lot out of Jarraud Powers, namely to not have Tim Jennings as a second stringer.

drink your milk, eat your cookies, and put your heads down on your desks . . . . . .

We just began our second week of camp. Relax. Stuff will sort itself out and cream will for sure rise to the top.

I guess I still don't understand the difference between FanPosts and FanShots

Not that I want or need the credit, I just had posted a FanShot about this prior to the FanPost. Sorry for using the wrong tool.

How I see it

If you have enough to actually say to meet the required length it’s a fanpost. If it’s just a link, video or quote that you don’t have much to add off the top of your head it’s a fanshot.

It's shocking what you can miss sometimes. The amazing color changing card trick.

Got it

So it has more to do with content than context. Thanks for the clarification!

Oops, sorry

Didn’t see it. I thought for a second I was first to post it, and I just wanted to add my 2 cents. My bad.

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Cursed players this year (via my autograph curse): Donald Brown, Fili Moala, Jerraud Powers, Austin Collie, Terrence Taylor, and Curtis Painter.
