The Indianapolis Colts disastrous 2022 season has finally come to a close and it is time to look towards the offseason. It’s no secret that quarterback play was a major weak point for the Colts and they should look to take their signal caller of the future at the top of this class. The Colts possess the fourth overall pick in the draft and will have a bevy of talented players to choose from, but Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud has a legitimate case to be the best quarterback in the class and should be strongly considered by the Colts.…

2022 has been an abject failure for the Indianapolis Colts and it is clear the team is headed towards a rebuild. There are holes throughout the roster but perhaps the most important decision the Colts need to make will be the hiring of their new head coach. The Colts shockingly turned to Jeff Saturday as their interim coach but may look elsewhere for a long term solution. Let’s look at five potential candidates for the Colts head coach job in 2023. Shane Steichen – Philadelphia Eagles OC This wouldn’t be the first time the Colts turned to the Philadelphia Eagles…

2022 has been an overwhelming failure for the Indianapolis Colts. Entering the season the Colts had serious Super Bowl aspirations and were a team on the rise. Now, nine weeks into the season, the Colts have benched their quarterback and fired both their coach and offensive coordinator. Despite the turmoil, the Colts rookies have been impressive overall and it appears that Chris Ballard has put together another solid draft class. Now, at the halfway point of the season, let’s check in on each rookie and hand out grades. Colts Rookies: Alec Pierce WR Cincinnati The Colts selected Alec Pierce with…

Since Andrew Luck’s shocking retirement in 2019, the Colts have cycled through a bevy of temporary quarterback solutions. From Jacoby Brissett to Phillip Rivers to Carson Wentz to Matt Ryan, the Colts have turned to aging veterans to provide a short-term “Band-Aid” to the quarterback position. Matt Ryan, the latest veteran in the Colts quarterback carousel, has struggled mightily this year with nine interceptions and eleven fumbles and the Colts are currently the 4th worst scoring offense in the NFL. With  Ryan’s struggles this year, the Colts have finally decided to rip off the “Band-Aid” and turn to second year…

For 14 seasons Adam Vinatieri brought a level of consistency to the Indianapolis Colts kicking game that has been rivaled by few others. The future Hall of Famer and four time Super Bowl champ was as close to a sure thing you can find at the position and never shied away from a clutch kick. However, since his retirement in 2019, the Colts have struggled to find a suitable replacement. After waiving 2020 and 2021 starter Rodrigo Blankenship following his shaky week 1 performance, the Colts turned to journeyman kicker Chase McLaughlin to fill the void. In now his second…

Parris Campbell’s NFL career has been defined by injury. The 2019 2nd round pick out of Ohio State came into the NFL with high expectations after putting up 90 catches 1068 yards and 12 touchdowns his senior year. Campbell has electrifying speed and has the ability to break free for big plays any time he touches the ball. However, he has never played more than seven games in a season in his NFL career and has struggled to produce consistently at the next level. 2022 has been a different story for Campbell as he has played in all six games…

With All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard missing all but two quarters of play so far this year, the Colts needed a player to step up in his role. Many assumed linebacker Bobby Okereke would fill in this role and lead the linebacker corps. Okereke has played well, but 5th year linebacker Zaire Franklin has stepped up in a big way and has become one of the unsung heroes of this Colts defense. Franklin, a Colts team captain, is currently tied for the NFL lead in combined tackles and has shown great strides in pass coverage as well. While he doesn’t have…

Last Thursday night’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos was ugly. The teams combined for four total interceptions, ten sacks, six fumbles, seven field goals, and zero touchdowns. Two teams that many considered to be dark horse contenders looked more like teams that will be picking at the top of next year’s draft, but the Colts were able to squeak out a 12-9 victory in overtime to improve to 2-2-1 on the year. Despite the win, the Colts showcased many of the the same flaws that have plagued them all year. However, if the Colts are able…
