Well, here it is, folks! The Reaper has killed many an NFL hopeful and that depth chart – your Boys in Blue – has been released.
I am sad to say that I’ve been calling for Dede Dorsey (getting tackled in the Colts last preseason game against the Motor City Kittens) to be at least a 3rd stringer, but Dede just didn’t shine during this preseason. But the Colts have always had a deep roster, especially at the RB position. Let’s see if Addai’s got some support in the Consanant Duo: Kenton Keith and Luke Lawton (who is also the starting FB). PM and JA might have serious TO’s with TD b/c KK and LL might not be up to the needed PT thoughout this year’s SB run.
But my fingers are crossed: Polian and Dungy have made few mistakes in picking the best talent available, so I’m not too concerned. I’m just a little upset that my pick didn’t make it. (I’m a softy for underdogs…Give ’em hell next year, Dede!)
But let’s give it up for rookie Ed Johnson fresh out from under Old Joey P’s wing at Penn State! Damn, he’s a big boy, and he’s now your new Defensive RT to hopefully fill that enormous gap that the loss of Simon and Booger left. More on Eddie later, though.
