Once Again, Let's Re-Visit That 2010 Colts Roster Prediction From BBS

personally i think they just keep painter as terrible as he has been and if the unmentionable happens they would just go out and sign a veteran right away

but other than that i agree with everything else . good job

at the OL and hoping there will be another name that goes on that list for Linkenbach. He just really looked lost last game. I have no clue who that person would be. I just keep hoping. Depth is critical in the NFL and that’s the only spot that worries me.

They are serviceable at best, so I hope, Jaime Thomas or Tysovnitsky beat one out.

Agree on the defense. Favorite is the only one I think is still on the bubble. I might also put Newton on the opening day roster because I don’t that they will have a veteran signed by then.

I doubt they carry 3 QBs. Brandstater probably just misses the cut and I am tempted to add Blair White. I’m also 50-50 on the Linkenbach vs. Terry thing. They might keep Terry and send Linkenbach to the PS.

I have no changes on the offense side of things. On defense, I would take out Marlon Favorite (DT) and add Ervin Baldwin (DE). Additionally, I think Mike Newton (FS) still has a legit shot on making the team so I would add him to the roster. Other than that, this is one of the few roster predictions that I almost totally agree.

I see all your points on D, but I’d bet against that 7th LB being kept (Glenn). Plus, I’d bet that Newton has shown enough play-making ability and athleticism that he sticks on the active roster. Also, I have Mathews making the team over Favorite…though, I admit that Favorite is more NFL-ready right now and therefore you could be right on that one. I also flip-flop between Baldwin and Chick, but agree that one of the two should make the roster. Nice calls on Lambert and Dawson.

The offense I have more disagreements with. I think we keep five WRs in addition to Brandon James, who I consider to be more of a STer. That 5th WR would be Blair White, who I don’t see us risking on the PS. On the OL, I think that Pollack has had his last chance, and Jaime Thomas will get that final OG spot. But the big complaint I have is that there’s no way I see us keeping three QBs. Painter makes the Active Roster and Brandstater is on the PS. I also think that Gijon sticks, at least initially, as a 4th TE (and #2 blocking TE). Agree with your calls on Devin Moore and Jeff Linkenbach, particularly your comment about versatility tipping the balance for Jeff. (He played both OT and both OG spots vs. the Bills!)

I know he was being tried out at a number of different spots against Buffalo, but I’m not sure that necessarily means he’s versatile. I admit I’m not a great judge of O-Line talent because I have a tendency to watch the skill players instead, but our QBs never seemed to have a lot of time out there before they had to fire the ball away.

Nice stab BBS. I must say that my initial shot had plenty of udfa’s and now it appears a good many won’t make it due to injuries or just flat out not getting it done. In any event, I agree with several readers that Brandy goes to the PS. He is intriguing but we just don’t need 3 qbs especially one that overthrows the deep ball. I also think baby J takes Harts place on the roster. On defense, according to BP, Chick needs to be more productive (per the Buffalo game) and I agree. Therefore he’s out and Baldwin is in. I know folks won’t feel this one but……Mitch King is OUT! He has no stats to speak of and seems like a bit of a bone head. I would rather see Mathews develop in that position bc atleast can bat balls at the LOS. Re: the o-line, I thought Martinez looked good and could possibly make the roster. My big question surrounds Pollack. I think the guy is best suited at center. However, whenever he plays, it just seems like the guy is missing something. I would be ok with cutting our losses and moving on. No finishing blocks, no nasty streak, no passion..no roster spot. At lb, someone may not make it and the spot may go to a cb like McCauley. Who knows, he may fit at FS too. If not, then I think Newton gets the nod. If not then maybe Mike Brown could fill in or a young special teamer like Eric Bassey from OU.
