LOCKED ON COLTS 10/21/19: Colts make another strong statement with 30-23 win over Texans Oct 21, 2019

Show notes

On today's episode, Zach Hicks of Stampede Blue helps recap another impressive victory for the Indianapolis Colts. In a must-win scenario to take the AFC South lead, Indianapolis won behind the arm of Jacoby Brissett. The Colts' QB sliced and diced the Texans' secondary when the run game wasn't working well, but the consistent use of it helped open up the play action pass game even more.

We talked through some other strong individual performances outside of Brissett as well. Zach Pascal is quietly taking over as the Colts' No. 2 wide receiver, while Eric Ebron woke up from his slump with a big day. Also, how about Justin Houston and Jabaal Sheard? Those two are working together really well right now for the Colts' pass rush.

Finally, we look ahead to the Broncos matchup for the first time. Will the disappointing loss against Oakland be a wake up call for this team to avoid future stumbles? I believe so, but what say you listeners? With Joe Flacco as Denver's QB, this should be a game where a double-digit victory should be the most ideal scenario. What should be the primary attack plan against Denver?

LOCKED ON COLTS 10/15/19: Who has been the team MVP thus far? Oct 16, 2019

Show notes

On today's episode, George Bremer of The Herald Bulletin returns to go over all the latest news along with his thoughts on many Colts-related subjects.

First up, it's Texans week, and it's once more a critically important matchup. Should we expect Colts DC Matt Eberflus to play heavy man or zone scheme concepts versus Deshaun Watson? Also, will Jacoby Brissett air it out more this week?

Speaking of Brissett, does George believe he's seen enough from him to call him the long-term answer so far? And is this following a similar script to Kansas City, who won 10 games and still traded up for a QB (Alex Smith, Patrick Mahomes)?

Who has been the team MVP? Is it Frank Reich, Quenton Nelson, or someone else? We also talk about Braden Smith, who is quickly becoming a top 10 RT in this league.

Finally, we go over the 2019 rookie class before closing with how Indianapolis ended up in this situation five weeks in.

LOCKED ON COLTS 10/14/19: Colts return from bye week with biggest game of the season Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

On today's episode, Zach Hicks of Stampede Blue returns to help reassess where the Colts stand coming off an amazing win over the Chiefs. Their bye week couldn't have come at a better time in terms of injuries, but a huge slate is on tap this week and throughout the rest of the season.

Houston's own win over Kansas City sets up a huge showdown at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday. If the Colts are able to pull this one off, they will control their own density the rest of the way. Before we dive into that matchup, we go over many facets of the Colts' offense.

Is Jacoby Brissett the long-term answer for the Colts through 30 percent of the season? Zach's answer may surprise you. Also, this past week showed how dominant their offensive line truly is.

Finally, we go over the Texans game with our usual keys plus predictions. This is truly a must-win for Indianapolis if they want to host a playoff game.

LOCKED ON COLTS 10/8/19: Colts stun Chiefs behind new identity Oct 09, 2019

Show notes

On today's episode, George Bremer of The Herald Bulletin is back to help go over the Colts' biggest win in the Frank Reich era. Following a 19-13 stunner in Kansas City, how does the season outlook change for this team? Bremer was there at Arrowhead Stadium for coverage, so he has plenty of takeaways.

Run the damn ball is truly a staple diet of the Colts' identity. After 97 rushing yards in the second half, 180 total, Indianapolis is embracing smash mouth football at the perfect time. It's the recipe that was needed in order to defeat KC's high-powered offense led by Patrick Mahomes.

Kudos to Colts DC Matt Eberflus, too. After criticism reached an all-time high, Eberflus responded by playing more man coverage than ever to beautiful results. The rookies on that side of the ball -- Khari Willis, Bobby Okereke, Rock Ya-Sin -- all had great outings simultaneously for the first time.

After diving deep into the amazing win for the Colts, we look ahead to the next few weeks. The Texans game after the bye is setting up to be the most important game of the season. If Indianapolis can pull off the win and move to 4-2, there's a real shot of starting 8-2 with the soft schedule afterwards.

Get hyped, Colts fans! This is by far the biggest win of the last few years!

We close going over Jake's main keys to the game. Will the Colts pull off the miracle in Kansas City? Don't doubt them out just yet.

LOCKED ON COLTS 10/1/19: What changes need to happen on defense? Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

On today's episode, George Bremer of The Herald Bulletin is back to go over the Colts' loss against Oakland while looking ahead to Kansas City. Bremer hammered home some great points on many topics.

What exactly is wrong with the Colts' defense? Is it more player or scheme? Also, if this continues, does Matt Eberflus' seat feat warm? Bremer points to both points, but also says some sort of change needs to be made ASAP.

Eric Ebron had his worst game of his Colts career Sunday reverting to the Detroit version. This is a headline we should be following as it is Ebron's contract year. If these type of outings continue, will Chris Ballard pay up for him? I don't think so.

Finally, we look ahead to the Colts' primetime game with keys and predictions. Patrick Mahomes is good, but how good is he really? We compare Mahomes the best we can and what task he will be for this defense. Also, is this team built for a shootout?

LOCKED ON COLTS 9/30/19: Colts ruin momentum with ugly loss to Oakland Oct 01, 2019

Show notes

On today's episode, Stampede Blue's Zach Hicks helps recap the Colts' stunning 31-24 home loss against Oakland. What exactly went wrong and what changes need to be made moving forward?

After the 14-0 quick deficit, Indianapolis seemed shellshocked and was never able to crawl back to a late lead. Jacoby Brissett's pick-six on the possible game tying drive officially ended the game.

Is the NFL figuring out Matt Eberflus' zone-heavy scheme? It sure seems that way as Derek Carr sliced through it for another efficient day. Eberflus' training camp words of seeing more "exotic looks" on defense is looking more like false hope than anything. Not good timing with Kansas City on tap next.

We run through the usual notes from Sunday outings before closing with the three keys and prediction for the next game at Kansas City. Do you trust the Colts in a shootout? That's what it will take against the Chiefs.
