LOCKED ON COLTS 6/6/20: Predicting biggest breakout players with IndyStar's Jim Ayello Jun 06, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, IndyStar's Jim Ayello joins as we run through the gamut on potential Colts breakout players this season.

Parris Campbell and Nyheim Hines will be huge impacts for a QB like Philip Rivers. Expect to see plenty of these two on quick concepts, and maybe even Hines split out more often alongside Campbell in the slot.

Defensively, Bobby Okereke is gaining a ton of steam as a big breakout contender internally. Will he take Anthony Walker's starting spot? We also discuss Kemoko Turay and Rock Ya-Sin as potential players who could take the big leap in 2020-21.

Why is Braden Smith flying so far under the radar? He could be in line for a Pro Bowl year on the Colts' offensive line.

All of this, plus so much more, in a jam-packed episode!

LOCKED ON COLTS 6/4/20: The Draft Network's Jordan Reid on the Colts' 2020 draft class Jun 04, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, The Draft Network's Jordan Reid joins for an in-depth look at the Colts' 2020 draft class. From Michael Pittman Jr. and Jonathan Taylor to Julian Blackmon and Jacob Eason, all four go under the microscope with Reid's analysis.

Why were MPJ and Taylor viewed as such safe prospects? Both of their impacts on Indy's offense will be felt immediately. Also, what's the upside for the Colts' WR trio and RB duo with both of these players onboard?

Blackmon and Eason were rolls of the dice, but, if they hit, could pay huge dividends for the Colts. The duo of Blackmon and Willis will be consistent long-term, and the former Utah Ute could even cover tight ends as well.

Eason has franchise QB upside, but what are some on-field red flags Colts fans should watch for as he develops behind Philip Rivers?

LOCKED ON COLTS 5/28/20: What if Andrew Luck never retired? May 28, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Kevin Bowen is back as What If Week continues on with a new scenario. What if Andrew Luck never retired from the NFL? Not only does it change the fortunes for Colts football, but Luck's legacy continues to grow nationally.

Luck carried one of the worst roster in football to three straight 11-5 seasons his first three years in Indy. However, when he initially injured his shoulder in 2015, it was the first seed planted to what eventually happened in August, 2019.

How would the Colts have done in 2019-20, and throughout this decade with Luck under center? With Chris Ballard and Frank Reich aboard, it's fair to say Luck goes on to have massive success. Bowen mentions Luck likely wins at least one Super Bowl and MVP, if he continued on with the current roster surrounding him.

This is a massive what if scenario, and one that would have changed everything for Indianapolis.

LOCKED ON COLTS 5/27/20: What if the Colts drafted Ryan Leaf over Peyton Manning? May 28, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, it's time to dive into another what if scenario. Peyton Manning vs. Ryan Leaf was highly debated in 1998, but Indianapolis made the smart long-term choice. As Manning went on to be an all-time great, Leaf flamed out before the end of his rookie contract.

If the Colts drafted Leaf over Manning, it would've caused a league-wide domino effect. Not only does Leaf in Indy mean no long-term success, but Manning ends up in San Diego.

Leaf busting out within three years likely leads to the Colts drafting Michael Vick in 2001. Also, Brian Urlacher is likely in Indy as well with the Colts not winning much in 1999-2000 with Leaf. Would a core of Vick, Edgerrin James, Marvin Harrison, and Brian Urlacher lead to success in Indy?

This scenario definitely led a lot of different directions, as it changes the fortunes of Indianapolis forever.

LOCKED ON COLTS 5/26/20: What if Peyton Manning never injured his neck? May 26, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, we begin What If Week here on Locked On Colts. Our first subject revolves around arguably the most intriguing scenario. What if Peyton Manning never sat out the 2011-12 season due to neck surgery? George Bremer of The Herald Bulletin joins to dive deep into it.

If Manning was fully healthy, not only do the Colts make the playoffs but Andrew Luck is never a realistic draft option. Also, Manning plays in Indianapolis at least another five years, if not longer.

Pandora's box is opened completely in this podcast. So many different avenues this franchise goes down if Manning never misses a game with the Colts.

LOCKED ON COLTS 5/22/20: Crossover Special with Locked On Bucs May 22, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, James Yarcho of Locked On Bucs joins for a offseason winners crossover special. How did Tampa Bay pull off Tom Brady, and what will his impact be like on their offense?

Also, how about the Bucs' new additions of Tristan Wirfs, Antoine Winfield Jr., and Rob Gronkowski? Yarcho believes it these additions alongside Brady will make this team a top contender for a Super Bowl immediately.

Flipping over to Indy, the Colts' additions of Philip Rivers, DeForest Buckner, Jonathan Taylor, and Michael Pittman Jr. will help them take the leap from average to great in 2020. Indy's offensive line will help Rivers improve the team by four wins over Jacoby Brissett.

Will these teams meet in Tampa Bay come February, 2021?

LOCKED ON COLTS 5/21/20: Crossover Special with Locked On Cardinals May 21, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Bo Brack of Locked On Cardinals joins for our latest Crossover Special diving into the NFL's biggest offseason winners.

In Arizona, plenty of change has led to high optimism in the Valley. Will Kyler Murray take the leap to star in Year 2? Trading for DeAndre Hopkins not only helps the Colts, but it vaults Arizona's offense to a whole new level.

Arizona also did a solid job in free agency + draft reloading their porous defense. How will Isaiah Simmons help transform the Cardinals?

In Indianapolis, we go over their biggest moves and why plenty are pointing at them as AFC South favorites now. Also, who were some other big winners around the NFL?

This was a really fun one, Colts fans, so make sure to tune in!

LOCKED ON COLTS 5/20/20: Crossover Special with Locked On Broncos May 20, 2020

Show notes

On today's episode, Cody Roark of Locked On Broncos joins to kick off our biggest offseason winners week! Obviously the Colts were a huge winner, but Denver is nipping at their heels with the strong offseason they put together.

First off, the draft was a grand slam for the Broncos. Adding in Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler, and Albert O into this offense is dangerous. Also, signing Melvin Gordon now brings a 1-2 punch to their own backfield.

How big of a year is this for Drew Lock in 2020? What should we expect from Denver, maybe a surprise surge into a wildcard?

Onto Indianapolis, Philip Rivers is ready to be the QB for multiple years if all goes well. Also, prepare for Darius Leonard to put up monster numbers thanks to DeForest Buckner's arrival.

Will the Colts finish as AFC South champs? Evan thinks so, and he gets bold by how much separation he thinks Indy creates by Week 17.
