It’s really amazing how quickly things can change during a 6-day vacation. While I was away the Colts traded a cornerback (Kevin Thomas) and brought over two fringe linebackers in return. Two waived players (G Ben Ijalana and DT Eric Foster) return to the team on the IR list since they both cleared waivers – no real shock there. And now the team released its first depth chart of the pre-season. Being that we are still in training camp an approximately four weeks from “real” football being played, there should not be too much stock taken into this first listing of players, though there are still a few surprises. I’ll list the depth chart as it stands now (per Colts.com), then I’ll get into the things I think I think, to steal a phrase from the great Peter King.

It seems like Moise Fockou and Greg Lloyd have already formed a tight bond.
Perhaps it was last season in Philadelphia, especially the final five weeks, where both were on the 53-man roster, but both were also inactive for all of the final four games.
Perhaps it was this summer, both knowing that their shot at contributing was minuscule.
Perhaps is was simply a product of...

Colts haven't decided on Luck's playing time
Andrew Luck isn't sure how much he'll play in Sunday's preseason opener, and he's not lobbying for more time.

I just need a little Luck Juan..
Austin Collie has been solidified as the #2 WR in Indy. He will play opposite Reggie Wayne in 2-WR/2-TE sets and will play in the slot when they go 3-wide. He has already gained a nice rapport with Andrew Luck and his hands/route running ability will make him a favorite target during the season. A great lat round grab with little risk and huge...
