In case you're unaware, the Colts released their first unofficial depth chart for the 2012 season, the one that will be in place for the first preseason game against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, August 12th.
The depth chart IS unofficial, and is not yet completed on the team's website. The team did however, release pictures of the base depth charts on Instagram, and tweeted them out for the public to see, as well as providing them to the local media.

Some notes and thoughts on the depth chart after the jump.
Offense:
Starting offensive line is: LT Castonzo, LG Linkenbach, C Satele, RG McGlynn, and RT Justice
As I've stated multiple times, I fully expect Reitz to win the left guard spot, and Linkenbach to primarily be the backup right tackle (which is w...

There are a lot of new players on the Colts. At last count, at least 54 players are either new or have a year or less of experience.
This leads to a lot of moments where I read and update, see a name, and a blank slate just replaces my mind. Never before can I remember mixing up so many names, and being so unfamiliar with a roster.
The roster is filled with no-names, and it...

Thankfully, that attention has been all positive.
Coaches and teammates have expressed great surprise in just how good of a receiver he is, and his blocking (which was expected...

Joe Reitz Reportedly Gaining Ground on Starting Left Guard Position

August 06, 2012
As I've been saying from Day One this offseason, I was pleasantly surprised with Joe Reitz' play at left guard. While the former basketball player wasn't an All-Pro by any means, he did a more than servicable job, and it was essentially his rookie year. He and Anthony Castonzo formed a very good team on that left side before injuries put a damper on the season for both...

The Colts have changed a lot in many ways, and the speed of the team is one of the things that changed the most.
Everything’s new, the quarterback, the tight ends, most of the offensive line, the defensive scheme, THE COACH! The biggest change that everyone is noticing is obviously Andrew Luck, as he is succeeding one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Peyton...

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...

Austin Collie's NFL career was off to a great start with a solid rookie season and a solid stats in year two (59 receptions, 649 yards, 8 TDs in nine games) before head injuries and then historically bad QB burst his bubble.

Indianapolis on mission to fix offensive line
Indianapolis' offensive line has a mission.
It must protect No. 1 draft pick Andrew Luck from oncoming pass rushers without self-destructing, and it won't be easy.
The Colts have changed their philosophy, bringing in lots of fresh faces and bigger bodies to help produce a stronger ground game. The hope is by bringing more balance to an offense that relied so heavily Peyton...

Indianapolis taking new approach on defense
The Indianapolis Colts are hoping bigger players create a better defense.
New coach Chuck Pagano has changed the team's defensive philosophy after a dismal 2-14 season.
Gone are the zone coverages and Tampa 2 principles that have been a mainstay for the Colts for nearly a decade. Instead, Pagano has implemented a 3-4 hybrid defense that relies more on blitzes to pressure quarterbacks...

Andrew Luck is busy breaking down film of his daily practice sessions, so the Colts' rookie quarterback hasn't had time to build up nerves for Sunday's preseason opener. In fact, he doesn't even know how much action he'll see against St. Louis. No worrying and no lobbying. He'll start the game and play until he's told to take off his helmet. "...

Colts rookie quarterback Andrew Luck shouldered his heaviest throwing load of camp after Saturday's rain-shortened work. He completed 28-of-41 passes with no interceptions and at least five touchdowns. Considering the restriction on defensive players to not bring receivers to the ground, it's difficult to determine whether a receiver might have scored on certain plays. Overall...
