The preseason has ended, and everyone can take a sigh of relief the games that don't count in the standings are over.
The Indianapolis Colts picked up its second win of the preseason in defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 20-16 on Thursday, Aug. 30 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Andrew Luck and all players who appear to be the starters only played in the game's first series, with the majority of playing time going to guys trying to play their way onto the team. And there were a few standout performances that earned guys spots, but for others there doesn't seem to be enough roster space for everyone.
Here is my projected view of what the 2012 Indianapolis Colts 53-man roster could look like after the final 22 cuts are made this weekend.
Quarterbacks
Andrew Luck, Drew Stanton, Chandler Harnish
No surprise here as all three quarterbacks are safely going to be on the roster.
Running Backs
Donald Brown, Delone Carter, Mewelde Moore, Vick Ballard
These four have been t...

Austin Collie: Should the Indianapolis Colts release him?

September 01, 2012
Should Austin Collie be let go in Indianapolis? I say yes and the first reason, has nothing to do with his talent because he is a talented wide receiver. The problem is he can not stay healthy. Collie has been plagued by concussions and has not started in more than six games in his three year career. He his career high in receptions is only 60 and he has never had over 1,000 yards...

In their final tune up before opening the season in Chicago, the Indianapolis Colts were anything but sharp. To this point, Chuck Pagano's patchwork squad had played with a precision that belied their inexperience. Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, they looked lost.

The Colts came back to beat the Bengals in one of the more boring Colts games in recent memory.
Well, Andrew Luck and Drew Stanton didn’t see much time on the field. Both saw a total of 3 series. It was Chandler Harnish who got most of the snaps, and actually didn’t do that bad. His decision making wasn’t great, but he made some great throws and his mobility was pretty good...
