Colts hire Lou Anarumo as new DC; Bengals reporter Paul Dehner Jr. weighs in Jan 20, 2025

Show notes

Indianapolis Colts reporter James Boyd and Cincinnati Bengals reporter Paul Dehner Jr. discuss Indianapolis' hiring of Lou Anarumo as its next defensive coordinator. Anarumo spent the last six seasons in Cincinnati, where he engineered a defense that gave Patrick Mahomes fits en route to a Super Bowl appearance in 2021 before the unit bottomed out in 2024. The Colts had a stagnant and porous defense in all three years of Gus Bradley's tenure, and as Dehner explains, Anarumo will certainly bring a new flavor to Indianapolis.

Show notes

Indianapolis Colts reporter James Boyd and NFL editor Jim Ayello recap Indy's loss against Detroit.
