(*indicates starter)

Offensive Strategy:
Base set of 3 wide with indicated starters. I think the Colts run an awesome offense right now and with these players that type of offense could absolutely flourish. Alternate sets would include a 4 wide in which case Shaun McDonald would be the most likely candidate for the fourth receiver for possession/slot. Also a 2 wide/2 rb set would be used to be able to give time to Joeseph Addai. Lining up TJ Houshmandzadeh, Plaxico Burress, Dallas Clark, Joeseph Addai and Adrian Peterson would be quite the power 2 back set. Drew Brees is capable of making all the needed throws on the field and has some limited escapability.

Defensive Strategy:
I really enjoy watching the Chargers defense and all the turnovers they are able to force because of the personnel they have and the scheme they run. This scheme asks a lot out of your front 3 but I believe the caliber of players that start on the line can more than make up for how much harder their job is without another DT. An explosive and hard hitting linebacking core and secondary should be able to disrupt the run and pass game of the opposing team efficiently as well as consistently cause turnovers. Look out for young Eric Weddle, little known but extremely talented, I think he could be a real sleeper who could come into a starting spot once John Lynch gets to old and retires.
