Examining the Colts QB run game and what’s sustainable in 2025

Examining the Colts QB run game and what’s sustainable in 2025

The Colts’ Anthony Richardson, Daniel Jones and Jonathan Taylor walk into a bar...

The 2024 season was a schematic journey for the Indianapolis Colts and Shane Steichen. Each week the staff put together a game plan that leaned into Anthony Richardson’s strengths, while masking his weaknesses.

Early in the season we saw an offense that struggled to stay efficient and relied on deep balls (the unequivocal strength of Richardson's) that could flip the field and change the outcome of the game. While explosive plays are the goal of any offense, they’re also harder to complete. That’s why earlier in the...

Colts DC Lou Anarumo reuniting with Bengals LB is PFF’s ‘one last offseason move to make’

The Colts could withstand to add some additional starting caliber depth at linebacker, and there’s a familiar face that could potentially be available for new DC Lou Anarumo.

According to PFF, Indianapolis Colts new veteran defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo reuniting with Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt is the team’s ‘one last offseason move to make’:

Indianapolis Colts: Trade for a familiar linebacker

Outside of Zaire Franklin, the Colts have very little starting experience in their linebacking corps. New defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo could target the captain of his former defense in Cincinnati, Germaine Pratt.

DeForest Buckner wanted to see change and is getting just that from the Colts

DeForest Buckner wanted to see change and is getting just that from the Colts

The big man had big wishes and is seeing them put in play.

The Indianapolis Colts needed to make changes. Big changes, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Anyone with a set of eyes could have told you that. One man who believed change was needed was DeForest Buckner. The leader on the defense knew things weren’t going in the right direction which led to late season frustration and a battle of egos. It looks like Buckner is liking what he is seeing now, and why shouldn’t he?

The biggest change came with the top man in charge...

Colts offseason should be considered a success

Colts offseason should be considered a success

All things considered, this looks like a job well done.

For years, the offseason has been a trudge for the Indianapolis Colts. Starting in March, fans would see player after player move teams while watching Chris Ballard use a Band-Aid to address a gaping wound on the roster. Players that would help the team would take reasonable salaries elsewhere and leave fans wondering why the Colts weren’t more involved. The only saving grace at times was the draft. Seen as a solid drafting GM, Ballard usually found some players to be excited about. This year was different because fans got...
