Colts Cast: Brissett comes through, defense stands up to get Colts to 2-1 Sep 23, 2019

Show notes

The Indianapolis Colts came into their home opener being looked at as a bit of a wild card team throughout the national audience. The left Week 3 a 2-1 team that controlled large portions of the game and featured their quarterback rising to the occasion. The Colts only had 7 drives throughout the entire game and had 5 of those 7 possessions last at least 9 plays. Jacoby Brissett was excellent, the defense came through when they had to, and several players had excellent games, both, statistically as well as in a somewhat quiet manner. Anthony Walker, Kenny Moore, Bobby Okereke, Quincy Wilson, the offensive line, Nyheim Hines and the list goes on. All of these guys played their butts off in route to the team's second win of the season. The Colts second half is being a bit misconstrued as a bad half simply because they didn't put a lot of points on the board. That's not the case and we'll talk about why that is. We'll also discuss what issues the Colts still have going forward, as well as how the trickle down from front office, to coach, the rest of the staff, and all through the roster is playing a major role in the team's success. The Colts are in a much better position than most have guessed they'd be at this point in the year, and the rest of the schedule is looking like the Colts could actually do some damage as it progresses. It's a great time to be a Colts fan despite all that the team has been through so far. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Colts Cast: Who actually fills Funchess' role in the offense; Week 2 Colts predictions vs Titans Sep 14, 2019

Show notes

The Indianapolis Colts travel to music city to take on the Tennessee Titans in a Week 2, AFC South showdown. In a sense, the Colts really need this win to avoid falling two games behind the Titans this early in the season, and to get some of their confidence back that they left their Week 1 matchup with. Today Matt Danely will go through one of the topics that have been on the tip of everyone's tongue since Devin Funchess' collarbone injury; Will Deon Cain break out and take on that role within the offense? Well, Matt isn't so sure that that's what he'll be doing, and he has another candidate if we're actually talking about filling Funchess' role in Frank Reich's offense. We'll also run through some Week 2 predictions for the Colts, as well as what we might see now that Kemoko Turay has been designated as OUT for tomorrow's matchup. Speaking of the Colts' defensive front, will we see Tyquan Lewis Sunday? We definitely should with some guys up front on the injury list.

Colts Cast: Colts give one away to Chargers in Week 1 Sep 09, 2019

Show notes

The Indianapolis Colts had some questions heading into Week 1 of the 2019 season against the Los Angeles Chargers. How would Jacoby Brissett handle his new role? Could the defense hold up against Philip Rivers? Would the running game be there as many questioned the offensive line throughout the preseason? There were plenty more, but the Colts came back with definitive answers for most of them. The one thing the Colts, and fans, didn't expect to have to worry about was Adam Vinatieri and the special teams units. This turned out to be a major factor, and quite honestly, THE major factor in deciding this Week 1 West Coast trip for the Colts. We got a really good look at Brissett, Mack showed his electric speed and agility, the offensive line was largely pretty good all day, and the defense continued last year's trend of taking the ball away from the opposition. These are all great things to witness, but the Colts had too many unforced errors in this one, which truly turned the score on its head. The Colts found out first hand how the scoreboard looks after giving one of the best quarterbacks in the league too many opportunities, and they have several similar tests left in the year as well. Let's just hope that the Colts OT loss to the Chargers Sunday will serve as a reminder to the roster and the coaching staff of how important each snap is, especially given their strength of schedule.
