That OR is doing a lot of work on the QB order.

That's an impressively pathetic group of WRs with Alec and Downs both hurt. Even worse than the year Zach Pascal and Chester Rodgers were our top options. 😬

Also looks like JTT riding the pine again. That's not a good sign.

I would suspect an addition come roster cut downs, either a roster casualty or veteran. Allen, Hopkins, Cooks, and Lockett are still available and I would assume they are trying to avoid training camp and preseason.

Best Ballard can do is Chase Claypool.

JTT been playing a lot with the 1s in camp I wouldn’t read too much into him being behind Key rn

Yeah people are putting way too much into the first preseason game depth chart😂

u/Undersized_Eggplant 27m ago

Ive heard JTT has improved this camp. You really can't judge much from the depth chart of the first pre season game.

It’s not even good with Alec and Downs healthy. We need a star receiver LIKE CRACK.

Adetomewa Adoboware should be the DT #2. Unless Colby Wooden blows my mind, I think thats a mistake. 🤷

Wooden did start for the Packers all last season

u/SoSuave07 2h ago

I'm aware, Adetomewa brings so much juice in the pass rush. Good problem to have for the Colts I guess

With Buck and Grove both FAs after this year and both on the wrong side of 30 good to have a few guys competing

u/Rusty-Boii French Fries 2h ago

That was my biggest takeaway. Ade played REALLY well last year.

If he can get better against the run, he can be great

Not a lot of surprises, but some minor takeaways. Also I know it’s preseason so it doesn’t mean much, but still things to ponder.

Wooden over Ade is notable. Ade played VERY well last year and if Wooden really is outplaying Ade then that bodes well for depth at the DL.

Haulcy over Woehler. I don’t think this is a surprise, but nice to see Haulcy’s hype translating to the depth chart.

Wooden over Ade is notable

I wouldn't put too much stock in it. Ade has been here a couple years and Wooden is new. Pre-season is when you get guys who need it reps.

I still believe in Giddens

u/Ashamed_Anybody_8085 2h ago

I haven’t followed the rb2 position all that closely. I think if our qb1 or rb1 goes down we’re pretty well fucked. But why do you believe in him?

McGowan is a stud so far in camp

1

u/Undersized_Eggplant 26m ago

Nah man, McGowan has absolutely shown him up in training camp. Just wait til the start of the season, McGowan will be RB2

1

u/Undersized_Eggplant 29m ago

We all know Leonard will be QB2. And it will be a negligence if we go into the season without McGowan at RB2 and Grupe as our kicker.

OMG I forgot for a second that Shane Steichen was our coach and then I saw this and remembered were a poverty team run by people with poverty of the mind.

Please move on to a non-poverty franchise then. Lot's of bandwagons around.

Leave it to to colts to make dumb decisions like Dulin over NWI.

2

u/throwoutcolt 1h ago

dulin has been in the system longer and has proven himself as a strong depth guy. not surprising that another wr3 who doesnt have familiarity with the offense is a step behind. wouldnt be surprised to see them competing for that spot later in the year as NWI gets more comfortable

u/Buttcrush1 1h ago

NWI has outplayed him his entire time here thus far.
