The Colts just need to make smart moves, regardless of cap space.

I'm not even saying that this was necessarily a bad move in an of itself, merely that I was surprised by it and that I hope that it doesn't signal a change in the approach that has been working so well. However, comments like yours are troubling and all too common unfortunately.

I agree. I just have a feeling they will have Lewis starting at re and sheard at le. I could be wrong

The plan last season was to get Lewis playing more 3-Tech, which according to Ballard is what he is best suited for.

So, I expect Lewis to take snaps away from Autry and possible unseat him as the starter. The Houston signing allows that to happen.

No it didn't and Lewis played mostly or all the time at DE last season. My point was the direction that they have been planning on is Lewis at 3-tech.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out for sure, as the draft may influence those plans as well.
