Keeping up


In other news:

• GM Ryan Grigson say the Colts will use a fullback extensively nest season. I could not be happier. The offense picked up last season after they began to use a fullback, in a large part because Donal Brown became a much more effective runner. And since Joseph Addai was cut recently, it looks like Brown is the team’s feature back at least for the time being.

• The Colts received three compensatory draft picks, including the last pick of the entire draft. The picks are: 5/170, 6/206 and 7/253. Perhaps one of them could get a nice blocking fullback Chad Diehl.

• Grigson also said the Dwight Freeney will be a Colt next year. Makes sense. The new defense is based on exactly the kind of pressure he and Robert Mathis bring. Okay, coverage will be awful, but that’s the safeties’ job, right?

• If the season started today … there would be a huge investigation. But seriously, if it did, these would be the Colts’ starters:

FB Chris Gronkowski
HB Donald Brown
FL Reggie Wayne
TE Brody Eldridge
RT Winston Justice
RG Ben Ijalana
