Indianapolis lands its new defensive coordinator in Lou Anarumo.

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to hire Lou Anarumo as their next defensive coordinator, according to multiple reports.

The Colts moved on from defensive coordinator Gus Bradley after three season. From there, Indianapolis moved quickly in interviewing five candidates that included Anarumo. Anarumo was most recently a part of Bengals’ staff, where he had been the team’s defensive coordinator for the past six seasons before being let go following the 2024 season.

Anarumo will bring a completely different style to the Colts’ defense compared to what we have seen under the...

The Colts have received some encouraging news regarding the long-term medical status of starting quarterback Anthony Richardson’s recent back issues.

According to ESPN’s Stephen Holder, the Indianapolis Colts believe that starting quarterback Anthony Richardson’s recent back spasms—which cost him the last two games of the 2024 regular season, are not considered a long-term issue.

Rather, their medical staff attributes it to an orthotic walking boot that Richardson wore down the season’s stretch as a medical precaution, which put unnatural stress on his back:

“So, what now? First, the good news: The Colts are confident the back issue is not...

Cornerback doesn’t appear to be a glaring need for Indianapolis, but the team could still withstand to upgrade.

According to PFF, Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison is their intriguing 2025 NFL Draft prospect for the Indianapolis Colts, among a list compiled for each of the NFL’s 32 teams:

Indianapolis Colts: TE, EDGE, CB, S

Day 1 or 2 option: CB Benjamin Morrison, Notre Dame

Morrison earned PFF coverage grades above 80.0 in 2022 and 2023, and he was having another solid season in 2024 before it was ended by injury. From 168 coverage snaps over...

The rookie left much to be desired in his first season.

Adonai Mitchell was all the talk out of camp for the Indianapolis Colts last season. He was making plays and flashing great potential. Coaches and fans both seemed excited to see what he could do on the field during his rookie season. Camp stars don’t always translate to game action, and while it is way too early to give up on him, it wasn’t exactly how we thought his first year was going to transpire. Receivers tend to take longer to develop at this level, so with plenty of...

Could the Colts be looking to upgrade the backend of their starting secondary with one of the draft’s top prospects?

According to PFF, Georgia safety Malaki Starks was named their ‘perfect 2025 NFL Draft prospect for the Indianapolis Colts’ come this late April’s NFL Draft—as the Horseshoe currently has the 14th overall pick:

Indianapolis Colts: S Malaki Starks, Georgia

The Colts need help everywhere on defense, as evidenced by six starters missing at least 15 tackles in 2024. Malaki Starks lined up all over Georgia‘s defense, allowing just 53 completed balls on 90 throws into his coverage...

While the Colts endured a disappointing season collectively, Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner remained key league standouts individually.

According to ESPN Analytics’ Seth Walder (subscription), the Indianapolis Colts have two players ranked among his ‘Top 100 real NFL MVP Candidates’ of the 2024 season—as both All-Pro offensive guard Quenton Nelson (59th) and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner (73rd) made the advanced statistical cut:

59. Quenton Nelson, G, Indianapolis Colts

There’s often an assumption that once offensive linemen are considered good, they’re permanently treated as such. But like any other position, great offensive linemen can have down games or...

Do you like the move to retain Ballard for another year?

Chris Ballard may be the most polarizing figure associated with the Indianapolis Colts; more than the head coach and more than the second year quarterback who produced his own set opinions among fans this year. Maybe it comes down to tenure. Ballard has been with the Colts double those two men combined, so there is plenty of data and points of pain and praise for the GM. With so many opportunities to do right or wrong by fans, it only makes sense that a clear opinion would be had...

Get to know one of the most sought-after defensive coordinator candidates of this hiring cycle.

Dennis Allen is one of, if not the, most sought-after DC candidates of the 2024 coaching carousel. The former head coach and defensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints, Allen has made a name for himself by leading one of the more successful defenses of the past decade.

Background

Allen began his coaching career as a Graduate Assistant at his alma mater, Texas A&M, for four seasons before landing a job with Tulsa as their Secondary Coach. After joining Tulsa’s staff in 2000, Allen would...

The Indianapolis Colts are moving toward the 2025 season in need of a new Defensive Coordinator. The Colts, for the last three years, were led by former Defensive Coordinator Gus Bradley who did a solid job in charge of the defense but could never seem to get a consistent showing from his defense over the three years he was in charge for. After another wildly inconsistent season from the defense it came time for the team to make a change at the position, and Bradley was ultimately fired and a new Defensive Coordinator will take charge.

In this series, we...

“But the No. 1 thing we have to figure out, and what Anthony’s got to work through, is staying healthy,” Ballard said. “Like he’s got to be able to stay healthy. And that to me, is probably the biggest question right now, because now we’re going on two seasons in a row where he’s dealt with injuries. So, that’s the first thing. And then No. 2, being consistent, getting consistent down after down, play after play.”

When Indianapolis Colts GM Chris Ballard held his end-of-season press conference last Friday, he made a clear confession that it was a mistake to...

The Colts are scheduled to make history by hosting an NFL game in Berlin during the 2025 regular season.

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Wednesday that the franchise will host the league’s first ever regular season game in Berlin, Germany, during the 2025 campaign:

The game will be hosted at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium as part of the NFL’s International Series, and it is the third time the Colts have played in Europe during the franchise’s history.

Specifically, the Colts played the New England Patriots in Frankfurt, Germany, at Frankfurt Stadium during the 2023 campaign, and earlier, the Jacksonville Jaguars at...
