On changes moving forward after a disappointing season. “I think the way the season started was obviously pretty special, then down the stretch obviously with some unfortunate circumstances.

Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts have been at an advantage thanks to strong tackle play this decade, with a brief transitional period at left tackle that otherwise found its footing rather quickly.

The Colts finished their 2022 season in embarrassing fashion.

Chris Ballard loves his picks. The more darts he has to throw at the board, the better in his opinion.

Entering the weekend, the Dallas Cowboys announced that the team released veteran linebacker Logan Wilson, which raises the question of whether the Indianapolis Colts could be interested given his clear familiarity with their defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo: Originally a 2020 3rd round draft pick of the Cincinnati Bengals, the 6,2”, 245 pound linebacker played under […]
Daniel Jones was given a golden opportunity to resurrect his career with the Indianapolis Colts.

Tight end is the position that looks simple on paper and becomes complicated the moment you turn on the film. At a glance, the evaluation process seems similar to wide receiver: can he catch, can he run routes, can he block? In reality, tight ends live in a completely different world. They’re bigger, slower, more […]

Alec Pierce is heading into the offseason as one of the Colts most coveted free agents. Similar to how Michael Pittman was after 2023, locking up Pierce will provide some necessary certainty to a position group that has never had a cornerstone player. Two years ago— that might not have been the sentiment. Pierce was […]
When the story broke that Chris Ballard would be returning for his tenth season, I received it with a sense of numbness.

Time and time again I have criticized Chris Ballard, so this time I will leave in writing what I would (or at least try to) do if I were in his shoes. A lot more than we know happens behind the scenes, so take this with a grain of salt. Its February 18th, Wednesday. Suddenly […]
