Crossover Special with Locked On Ravens Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Evan is joined by Kevin Oestricher of Locked On Ravens to preview arguably the biggest matchup on the NFL slate this weekend. Who will come out on top between Indianapolis and Baltimore?

Starting off with the Ravens, how big are the losses of Ronnie Stanley and Marlon Humphrey? Stanley's injury is long-term, while Humphrey's COVID-19 case will sideline him only this week against Indy. Meanwhile, what's up with MVP Lamar Jackson? Wrapping it all up, we go over rookie running back J.K. Dobbins, Yannick Ngakoue, and how truly unique the Ravens' offense is.

Pivoting over to Indy, Philip Rivers has looked like the 2018 version over the last two games. Will that continue against Baltimore's blitz-heavy scheme? As the running game struggles continue, a lot will be on Rivers' plate unless a breakout happens between Jonathan Taylor and Jordan Wilkins. How has the defense looked for the Colts? DeForest Buckner and Darius Leonard are the game changers, but a lot of young talent is ascending simultaneously.

Closing it all out, Evan and Kevin provide their predictions for an entertaining Sunday matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium. Who will come out on top?

Colts fire on all cylinders in 41-21 win over Lions Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Evan is joined by Stampede Blue's Stephen Reed as they go over another impressive Colts victory. The defense was awesome, while Philip Rivers remains on fire in terms of quarterback efficiency.

In what was a close game at first, Darius Leonard's strip sack changed the entire momentum as Indy closed on a 21-7 run. How has the defense looked as their positive trend continues upward? Tyquan Lewis is starting to ascend, while Bobby Okereke is becoming a bonafide Pro Bowl caliber linebacker as well.

On offense, Rivers' effectiveness was helped by Nyheim Hines playing an explosive role with two touchdowns. How should Indy utilize Hines moving forward? Also, Jordan Wilkins and Jonathan Taylor should expect a more even split on carries as the struggles continue for the Wisconsin rookie.

All of this, plus so much more, as it's Baltimore week in a very important matchup happening at Lucas Oil Stadium!

Crossover Special with Locked On Lions Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, our latest Locked On NFL Crossover Special after a refreshing bye week for the Colts. On Sunday, Indy heads up to Detroit to face off with a hot Lions squad. Who will come out on top in this important matchup?

First up, Matt hits Evan with some questions on what's happening in Indy. Is 4-2 a spot where the Colts were expected to be at? Outside of their stinker in Jacksonville, it really has gone status quo. DeForest Buckner has singlehandedly changed the defense, while the run game has been surprisingly disappointing following Marlon Mack's season-ending injury.

Are the Lions for real or not? Evan asks Matt all about Detroit with their improbable win last week over Atlanta as time expired. The Lions' offense is starting to find a groove, so could they give Indy's defense fits? After a win-now move trading for Everyone Griffen from Dallas, will they take advantage of a soft November schedule?

All of this, plus so much more, in a jam-packed crossover special previewing Colts vs. Lions!

Show notes

On today's episode, The Herald Bulletin's George Bremer stops by the podcast to discuss the latest Colts news. What happened in the Colts' 32-23 loss in Cleveland? The defense rebounded after a poor first half, but two plays from Philip Rivers doomed them. Sitting at 3-2, is Rivers the main area of concern?

What's going to happen against Joe Burrow and the Bengals this Sunday? This could be another get right game for Indy similar to the Jets last month. If so, it could be much-needed momentum heading into a tough November stretch.

Closing out the show, Twitter Tuesday questions revolved around Rivers. Will he be benched at any point? What has to happen for it to occur? Is Jacob Eason going to take a single snap in 2020? What's the plan for 2020-21 at QB?
