Colts head coach Chuck Pagano talked about how Bjoern Werner is now playing strongside outside linebacker instead of rush linebacker and what that means.
Shortly after training camp began, I pointed out the fact that Bjoern Werner appeared to be practicing at strongside outside linebacker rather than at the rush linebacker spot where he played last year. And with the release of the Colts' first (unofficial) depth chart yesterday, more people began noticing that Werner was listed at the strongside linebacker spot.
It has been a rough first two years in the league for the former first round draft pick, and last year he played at rush linebacker as the Colts needed him to step up in place of the injured Robert Mathis - something he didn't do but that rather rookie Jonathan Newsome did instead.
