The Indianapolis Colts have gone from an unknown commodity to being considered a force in the AFC in just a matter of a few weeks. They took out the Kansas City Chiefs on the road, and followed that up with a huge victory over AFC South foes, the Houston Texans. Jacoby Brissett, and the Colts offense, has appeared to be reliant on their running game for success, but after a career game in passing yardage and touchdowns, there seems to be a larger trust factor being given to the Colts' signal caller. Head coach Frank Reich has shown that his trust in Brissett has not wavered, and the roster looks to be in lock-step with their play-caller. The team's defense has also shown up the past two games. The return of Darius Leonard proved to be valuable in his ability to disrupt the Texans' offense, and give the defense a little extra confidence heading into their pivotal Week 7 AFC South matchup as well. On today's show, Chris Blystone joins Matt Danely as the two discuss the Colts' recent success, plenty about Brisse

The Indianapolis Colts are coming off of their bye week following a huge road victory against the Kansas City Chiefs. Oddly enough, the Houston Texans are coming off a road win against the Chiefs as well. If there's a game this season that the Colts need to set the tone for the remainder of their year, it's Week 7 when they host the Texans in a major AFC South battle. The Colts and Texans are strangely similar in terms of success, and the lack thereof on either side of the ball. Their respective offenses are both rated in the top 10 of the league, despite being completely different in nature, and their defenses are both pretty bad in terms of overall success as well according to drive success rates Football Outsiders. The Texans are still riding high off of their win in Arrowhead, but the Colts have had some time to come down after theirs due to their bye week. The Colts are going to have to find a way to replace their pass rush that was boosted by Kemoko Turay, otherwise we could see Deshaun Watson running w

Then they talk winners and losers from the game.

The Indianapolis Colts are coming off of their most impressive win of the season by far, and it just so happens that their quarterback didn't clear 200 passing yards and didn't throw a touchdown. But, does that really describe how Jacoby Brissett has played thus far in the year? Does it mean that he didn't have a good game simply because his statistics in Week 5 weren't spectacular? There are differing opinions on Brissett through the first five weeks of the season. He's not the top-5 QB that Andrew Luck was entering this season before he retired. He's also not the same quarterback we saw play most of the season in 2017 either.  So, what is Brissett? Today, Matt goes into what he sees in the Colts' starting quarterback. What sort of season is he on pace for this year? Who is he to this offense, and does he have another "it" factor as opposed to having it on the field? There are a lot of questions surrounding the QB. Several analysts are trying to nail down exactly what level Brissett will sit at the rest of t

The Indianapolis Colts had no chance to take a Week 5 win at Arrowhead against the Kansas City Chiefs. Nationally, locally, anywhere. Except that they did, and they executed the perfect gameplan to achieve an improbable win.  The Colts' 'feast or famine' pass rush showed up in a major way sacking Patrick Mahomes 4 times and created pressure on him all night long. The running game was as efficient as it's ever been, the offensive line was dominant, and Jacoby Brissett was very good. And if you can believe this, the Colts won by only getting in the end zone once, on the road, against a team that hadn't score fewer than 26 points in two years.  One of the more impressive points on this game, is how the Colts were successful getting out of their typical defensive scheme, how they did so much of their damage with a lot of their top defensive players inactive, and they quite literally dominated a team that spends a lot of their time dominating others. Frank Reich was able to design another winning approach, and des

On this episode Chris Blystone, Jim Campbell, and Chris Shepherd take a look at the Kansas City Chiefs to break down exactly what is facing the Indianapolis Colts when they head to Arrowhead Stadium for their Sunday Night Football showdown. They look at how the Colts stack up against the Chiefs on offense and defense, then give their keys to the game for the Colts to get a win. After they've gone through that, they each take a shot at some more bold predictions for this game as well as making score predictions.

The Indianapolis Colts did not have much of a showing at all in Week 4 against the Oakland Raiders. Their 31-24 loss was worse than the score would indicate, but they've got an even tougher test in Week 5 with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Colts injury concerns haven't lessened as they have a lengthy injury report early on this week as well, and to top it off, they are about as bad as they've been in terms of execution, especially on the defensive side of the ball.  On today's show Matt will go through and analyze the Colts' updated PFF grades through the first quarter of the season to start things off.  The Colts, surprisingly enough, do have some guys who are having really good seasons up to this point including a couple rookies. There's a bit of a surprise with the Colts' tight end group, there's another stud along the offensive line that many have forgotten how good he is, and there is also a few having really poor seasons and are plummeting down the ranks. Additionally, Matt brings back Jim Campbell to dis

In this rowdy episode the guys dig into the injury news as well as the season long suspension of Vontaze Burfict before taking a look at the winners and losers from the Colts' disappointing week 4 loss to the Oakland Raiders. Then they take a moment to reflect on the state of the team through the first quarter of the season and look ahead to the next 4 games and consider how the Colts will fare and what kind of team they might be.

The Indianapolis Colts limped into their Week 4 matchup against the Oakland Raiders as T.Y. Hilton, Darius Leonard and Tyquan Lewis were unable to suit up. But there was far more wrong with the team than injuries in this one. The Colts got behind early and neither side of the ball was doing their respective jobs with any success. The Colts committed penalties with really poor timing, negating positive plays away from the penalty, were manhandled up front on both sides of the ball, and the team simply can't make a play right now. Offensively, the Colts' couldn't hang on to the ball, couldn't stop the Raiders from getting pressure in the backfield, and it probably wasn't Frank Reich's best day as a play-caller either. Defensively, the issues are abundant. Is some of it spotty work out of Matt Eberflus? It's hard to not think he's struggling to find his groove with this group, but the players themselves are shouldering a lot of the blame -- and most of it. They aren't making plays, they're not forcing turnovers,

The Indianapolis Colts are in an interesting place heading into their Week 4 matchup with the Oakland Raiders. Their defense has stalled in multiple aspects, but the offense has been one of the sweetest surprises, seemingly not missing a beat with Jacoby Brissett under center. The team is missing Malik Hooker, Darius Leonard, and Tyquan Lewis, three important pieces at all three levels of their defense. Now, some rookies are going to be filling in and hoping to make a splash themselves. Today Matt Danely will go in detail about how this thing will hold up, how Frank Reich has gotten in the head of the roster without them knowing it, as well as some thoughts on several positions. The safety group is going to have to find someone step up in coverage as Khari Willis has proven himself worthy of being the physical presence they need him to be. The receiver group is also in a pickle as T.Y. Hilton may be on the shelf. How can Deon Cain, Paris Campbell, and even Zach Pascal step up to the challenge and do it withou

On this episode the guys dig into the Colts week 4 home match-up against the Oakland Raiders helmed by Jon Gruden. They discuss the Raiders offense and how they match up against the Colts injury riddled defense, and especially the possible threat in the form of RB Josh Jacobs. Additionally, they dig in to how good Derek Carr could be, who his weapons are, and whether the offensive line can keep him clean against the Colts front four. Then, they take a look at how the Colts offense matches up with the Raiders defense, including looking at what expectations we might have for Marlon Mack in this game and how Jacoby Brissett and the receivers and tight ends should fare against the Raiders in the passing game.  Finally, they talk about what the keys to getting a win are in this game, make their bold predictions for this game, and predict the winner and final scores.  Learn more about your ad choices.
