Multissimo obrigado

BTW the avg experience is 4.208 yrs/player.

There are 8 rookies (6/7 picks made the team plus two undrafted rookies, King and Linkenbach). 11 players began their careers with the Colts as undrafted rookies. 34 guys were drafted by the Colts. 6 joined the Colts as various kinds of FAs, 1 was a waiver pick up (Muir), and the new guy, Tryon, was actually traded for (shocker!!!).

no offense whatsoever. my childhood best friend was half-hoosier/half-brasilian

Ay caramba kika ralu! I have no idea what that means, but he’d shout it when he was upset.

Don't apologise. It's always refreshing to find people who care about language.

Also, I love your women.

Defensive depth > offensive depth

Who knew it would be so hard to make this team? Polian and Co. obviously had a handful of spots to fill, briefly looked at upgrading a few more spots… and that’s it. Is the depth chart always so biased to the defense? I’ve never noticed before.

I think the biggest "huh?" I keep coming back to

is the fact that we only have four wideouts. I can only imagine that, if we don’t pick one up in the very near future, the team is content to use the roster spot for depth elsewhere, and is making the assumption that no fifth receiver could possibly ever see the field with the overwhelming amount of talent we have.

Three safeties is also weird. I expect this to be addressed shortly, though.

well, Dallas Clark is essentially a WR who occasionally lines up tight, so he's #5.

He’s usually lined up in the slot. Actually last year we kept only 4. When Gonzo went down wk 1, we added Baskett. Then wk 17 Giguere got promoted from the PS for a quick cup of coffee in the big leagues (actually it was probably a thermos-ful, considering the game conditions that week in Buffalo!)

Think of it this way. It’s better to have that extra RB or Def player than a 5th WR. If you’re losing the game, you’re gonna need your best players, WR especially, out there to catch up. If you’re winning, and you wanna rest people, you’re gonna be running the ball to eat clock, not whipping the ball around to your “scrub” WR. There won’t be a lot of work for a 5th WR that doesn’t return kicks, but there might be role for an extra RB.

Plus we got 2 on the PS, Blair and Brandon. We’ve got enough.

Good point, but it's certainly unconventional.

I do feel more comfortable with an extra body on either line, though, than a fifth WR. I had this conversation with a friend, actually, before I first posted above. We were nearly salivating over the prospect of having a five-set with either Dallas or Joe near the line.

Just a few more days to go.
