The Indianjapolis Colts were caught reacting instead of imposing their will. Alec Pierce, Jonathan Taylor and the offensive line, were the only people who played well. Anthony Richardson's first run was in the 4th quarter. Is that good or bad? The team seemed to begin 'Bleaving' in themselves at halftime. Wide Receivers dropping the ball, and Richa…

Feels like it should not even been such a close scoring game. Where was Zaire Franklin and E.J. Speed? The defensive line for the Indianapolis Colts weren't eating the blocks in the run game. The Colts offense can't just be highlight plays. They have to make the average plays also. Time of possession shows exactly how the game went. Don't force thr…

The 2024 NFL season is finally here! The Colts need the defensive line to play amazing, to get pressure on C.J. Stroud. The Indianapolis Colts offensive line, and Jonathan Taylor, needs to take over the game. Shane Steichen and DeMeco Ryans will play huge roles in the game. Bernhard Raimann and Braden Smith are going to have their hands full, but t…

Laiatu Latu is really impressive, but can he stop the run? Adonai Mitchell's release is so good, that veteran's are picking his brain about it. How many snaps will wide receiver AD Mitchell take from Alec Pierce? Who is going to step up and be the other safety for the Indianapolis Colts this NFL season? The secondary can not use youth as an excuse …

Former starting Offensive Lineman believes Indianapolis Colts QB is not focused enough. Would Colts players run through a brick wall for Anthony Richardson? Shane Steichen needs to utilize Anthony's mobility while play calling. Sometimes natural gift's can hold you back from getting better at other things. Joe Flacco can be a huge benefit for Antho…

Excited for the 2024 Indianapolis Colts season! Jaylon Simpson's release, then practice squad pick-up, had Donald Thomas confused. Micah Abraham's release shocked myself, after a good NFL preseason showing. Some things don't show up on the field, that go into roster decisions. Why was Sam Ehlinger chosen over Jason Bean? Colts signed Womack from ou…

Anthony Richardson seems to still have the arm strength, but also now throws with touch more often. Anthony Richardson and the Quarterbacks did not look good. Jonathan Taylor and the running backs looked great. A lot of dropped passes by AD Mitchell and the wide receivers. It was shockingly hot! And much, much more!…

Jonathan Taylor, Shane Steichen and Zaire Franklin addresses the media after practice on Sunday, August 4th.By Bleav

Anthony Richardson seems to still have the arm strength, but also now throws with touch more often. Jonathan Taylor wears a black hoodie, even when he is happy. Colts are doing stretches and warm-ups, focused on preventing leg injuries during practice. Individual and position group practice seem to focus on turnovers. And much, much more!…

New Colts Cheerleader intro! Micah Abraham Interview Gus Bradley InterviewBy Bleav

Not all Indianapolis Colts Training Camp tickets are free anymore! Colts host the Arizona Cardinals, then go to the Cincinnati Bengals, to end training camp. Colts 2024 NFL Training Camp begins Thursday, July 25th! Practice times ramp up slowly of time, to get players bodies in football shape. After the initial 3 days, players will probably then be…

Indianapolis Colts Center: Ryan Kelly is the NFLPA Vice President. Kelly is not on board for an 18 game NFL season. How would losing another preseason game, to add another regular season game, effect the sport? What would it take for the players to want to agree to an extended regular season? Injuries can effect a player for the rest of their lives…

I only looked at two things, then decided to do a true reaction show! The Indianapolis Colts get a late bye week again, this time week 14! No Thursday night football games, and only 1 primetime! Indy does not have an out of country game. Week 1 is a tough game vs the Texans, to break the opening game curse. Half the Colts first 8 games are division…

This is assuming Anthony Richardson is the Indianapolis Colts starter the full NFL season. In the RPO system, it is imperative to be able to block, to get more opportunities. I have Alec Pierce over Adonai Mitchell, and Josh Downs, to be the Wide Receiver breakout player. Out of 5 possible Tight Ends, I can see 2 having breakout potential. Kylen Gr…

In what can only be described as a podcast version of a Progressive commercial, Fabs gets a lesson in technology, popular (and unpopular) phrases, and how not to secure a meeting with HR, while he schools us fantasy football prioritization. Lindsay Rhodes and Michael Fabiano discuss which veteran players most benefited from the draft in fantasy, an…

The was a lot in 2023 that held back Anthony Richardson. Right after being drafted, Anthony had to split 1st team reps with Gardner Minshew. He was unable to get any reps with probably the best playmaker on the team: Jonathan Taylor. He drastically improved from weeks 1 & 2, to weeks 4 & 5, in the 2023 NFL season. He does not have those hurdles to …

The 53 man cuts for the Indianapolis Colts are going to be tough. Elite edge pass rush was a need, and Laiatu Latu is definitely a home run. Adonai Mitchell can absolutely be a dangerous weapon to the Indy offense. Matt Goncalves is a power tackle, that probably won't do well vs speed rushers. Tanor Bortolini is a smart, technically sound, center o…

It was the second time Asst. Director: Jaime Moore got on a draft call. Jaylon Carlies was a scout team unanimous decision. Jaylin Simpson is going to be given a chance at cornerback. Laiatu Latu was considered a "When a talent line, meets the need line". Both offensive linemen were picked because of talent & toughness. The Wide Receivers were sele…

Laiatu Latu really turned around the UCLA defense immediately after transferring, post surgery. Latu patterns his game off Aaron Donald and Maxx Crosby. Latu might be able to shock some people early in the season, and earn opposing offenses respect. Weak points Laiatu has that could hold him back, or that he needs to work on? Can Laiatu be a 3 down…

Donald Thomas is back! Should the Indianapolis Colts make a move on pass rush, if available at 15? Is it the receiver corps, or the Quarterback play? Should Brock Bowers be a target? The secondary played poor, but is it just inexperience? Where do you draft one? Do the Colts need to change the DB coach? How heavily should Chris Ballard be looking t…

@00:14 Intro @01:20 Rock is very good at man coverage, especially versus big, possession type receivers. @03:29 He never had a chance in Baltimore to get comfortable with the defense around him. @05:30 After being traded to the Raiders, he had a solid season, then bet on himself in Free Agency. @07:25 His last season with the Indianapolis Colts, he…

Too much smoke, to see the fire. Marvin Harrison Jr. is my #1 Wide Receiver Prospect, but I doubt Indy moves up to get him. Malik Nabers is not an 'X' Receiver, but he'll be top receiving target for most teams. Rome Odunze is a dangerous target on the outside, reminds me of Colts: Michael Pittman Jr. Brian Thomas Jr. is fast for a big guy, but is a…

The Defensive Back position was not up to par for the Indianapolis Colts last season. Quinyon Mitchell of Toledo is the best all-around cornerback prospect in this 2024 NFL draft. Nate Wiggins of Clemson is the biggest boom or bust prospect in the entire draft. Terrion Arnold out of Alabama has great instincts, but lack of confidence, and top end s…

The Indianapolis Colts are trying to get an elite pass rusher. Picking 15th overall on the 2024 NFL draft, you're hoping for a blue chipper to fall. Dallas Turner from Alabama probably won't make it to #15, but if he falls, he's a no-brainer pick. Laiatu Latu from UCLA is absolutely amazing, but his neck surgery is a red flag. Jared Verse from FSU …

@00:14 Intro @02:30 Everyone the Indianapolis Colts have signed/re-signed to date: @05:05 Kenny Moore II extension is a bargain for his play. @08:01 Indy signed Joe Flacco in replacement of Gardner Minshew. @11:10 I never expected the Colts to go for a high priced player, like Sneed, this offseason anyhow. @17:05 The Colts are exactly where I expec…

Indianapolis Colts Tight End: Andrew Ogletree has domestic violence charges dismissed, due to investigation. How deep are the Colts at TE? The NFL Free Agent market for tight ends is vast. Will the Colts make any moves at the position?By Bleav

Introducing the free agency series Colts need to fill a Quarterback spot, with only Anthony Richardson and Sam Ehlinger on the roster. Indianapolis will not be looking at players who are expecting big money. Gardner Minshew: Colts Ryan Tannehill: Titans Jacoby Brissett: Commanders Tyrod Taylor: Giants I would not want Marcus Mariotta, Sam Darnold, …

Let's try to figure out how Indianapolis Colts General Manager: Chris Ballard will approach this. There are too many in-house players that need re-signed, to spend big outside the organization. He'll probably spend mid money on a veteran secondary player. Where he feels he can get a top player at pick 15, could determine where he spends on a free a…

The Kansas City Chiefs have evolved over the past 5 years. If you don't want to see another dynasty win so many Super Bowls, then beat them. San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Brock Purdy has been impressive his first 2 seasons. Patrick Mahomes' X-factor, won't let me be comfortable picking the 49ers to win. The Chiefs have to contain the 49ers runnin…

Initial thoughts of the top NFC teams in the NFL. The Green Bay Packers made it to the dance, but do they belong? I'll root for the Packers versus the Dallas Cowboys, for my late father. Game Predictions The Los Angeles Rams at Detroit Lions looks to be a good game. The Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford is a captivating story. Who wins this matchup? Phi…

Cleveland Browns Quarterback: Joe Flacco will be a difference maker. Will the C.J. Stroud, and the Houston Texans, fold under Miles Garrett, and the Browns defense? Score predictions. How much will the weather effect the Miami Dolphins, when they head to Kansas City? Will the Chiefs receivers be able to hold on to the football? Final scores? The Pi…

Should the 4th and 1 pass went to Goodson, or should have Jonathan Taylor been out there? 1 play, 75 yards, and a touchdown, set the tone for the Texans right out the gate. Colts Quarterback Gardner Minshew had some bad passes, and wide receivers had a lot of drops. C.J. Stroud looked comfortable, for the most part of the game. The Indianapolis Col…

Initial thoughts of the Houston Texans visiting the Indianapolis Colts, Week 18 of the 2023 NFL season. Houston's injury report is pretty eye opening. Indy's injury report looks better, they seem to be getting healthier. C.J. Stroud has the team on his shoulders this week. These defenses for the Colts and Texans play very differently on the back en…

Initial reaction to the Indianapolis Colts handling the Las Vegas Raiders week 17 of the 2023 NFL season. The Colts had control of the entire game, despite the stats and final score. Indy needs to cut out those plays that give the other teams momentum(Like E.J. Speed's penalty). Despite the stats, the Colts secondary did well overall versus Devante…

The Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders are on very different trajectories. Colts get back Michael Pittman Jr. and Braden Smith! Both huge for the upcoming matchup! Andrew Ogletree arrested for a domestic violence felony charge. Raiders will not have their number 1 tight end, and probably without Josh Jacobs! Indy are favorites to win, eve…

Reaction to the horrible performance by the Indianapolis Colts at Atlanta Falcons. The defense could not stop the Falcons offense in any aspect. The amount of missed tackles by the Colts was shocking. The Falcons really opened running lanes and ran it well. How much of the blame is on Defensive Coordinator: Gus Bradley? Indy's offense line was not …

Initial thoughts of the Indianapolis Colts versus the Atlanta Falcons week 16 of the 2023 NFL season. The Indianapolis Colts have not lost to team with a losing record this year. Michael Pittman Jr. and Jonathan Taylor clear to play this week. The Colts can utilize their tight ends in the passing game, instead of using them to help block. The Falco…

After the game that Shane Steichen and the Indianapolis Colts showed versus the Pittsburgh Steelers, Indy still in NFL playoff hunt. Donald Thomas tells us the nature of both teams, from his viewpoint at the game. The conference playoff race is so jumbled, from seed 3 on down. Both the Baltimore Ravens, and the Miami Dolphins, have very tough games…

Initial thoughts to the Pittsburgh Steelers traveling to the Indianapolis Colts. Injury report for the the game has huge implications for this week 15 matchup. T.J. Watt versus the Colts offensive pass protection, is a huge focus. The Steelers defense is very good at creating turnovers, with forced fumbles and interception. The running backs: Najee…

Initial reaction to the Indianapolis Colts terrible loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. How bad was quarterback: Gardner Minshew compared to past games? A lot of passes should have been caught that weren't. Why did the Colts offensive line look like hot garbage versus the Bengals? Does Indy have a second receiver to throw 50/50 balls to? The self infli…

Initial thoughts on the Indianapolis Colts at the Cincinnati Bengals Getting pressure on Jake Browning is the defense's #1 priority. Grover Stewart will be back! Offensively, the run game will be very important to establish. The players have bought into Shane Steichen, and his scheme. Gardner Minshew is surrounded by a lot of talent and playmakers.…

Initial reaction to the Indianapolis Colts sweeping the Tennessee Titans. 2 blocked punts! Which was most impressive? Extra point debacles by both teams! Gardner Minshew finally made a few down field 'splash plays'. Was this the turning point for Alec Pierce getting more down field targets? The Indianapolis Colts won, without an effective run game.…

Running Back Jonathan Taylor to be out 2-3 weeks after thumb injury. Injury report is very optimistic, with possible return for Ryan Kelly and Drew Ogletree. Zach Moss is now the main running back again. DeForest Buckner and the defensive line, again have an important task. Should Colts Nation be optimistic about the defense, even with who they've …

Denver Broncos continue their winning streak against the Cleveland Browns. Browns lack of ball control cost them the game. Buffalo Bills shoot themselves in the foot...again. This time versus the 1 loss Philadelphia Eagles. Was that a horse collar, or intentional grounding penalty? The Bills still can't be taken lightly, but is their a locker room …

If the 2023 NFL playoffs began today, the Indianapolis Colts would be in! Can the Colts reach 10-6 with their remaining schedule? The Colts are on a 3 game winning streak, playing their best football. Indy have always been good at getting defensive turnovers. The Colts blitz so little, but getting pressures and sacks. How many can they acquire by s…

Initial analysis of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs defense is VERY good against the run, should Indy pass more against them? The passing attack is very similar to the Indianapolis Colts yardage/completions wise. Indy should open up a play-action deep pass, to open up the run. Tampa is the worst rushing offense in the league. Baker Mayfield is a…

Most shocking Thanksgiving NFL game? 49ers - Seahawks, Cowboys - Commanders, Packers - Lions. Miami Dolphins head to New York to face the Jets. New Orleans Saints travel to the Atlanta Falcons. Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals. Jacksonville Jaguars face the Texans in Houston. New England Patriots versus the New York Giants. Carolina Panthe…

Initial reaction to the Indianapolis Colts releasing All-Pro Linebacker: Shaquille Leonard. Shaq never asked to be released, even though he was complaining about snap percentage. Donald Thomas goes no holds barred on the situation. No team will pick up his contract, and he will be a free agent. Busy week ahead for Leonard. Why was Shaquille Leonard…

Former Indianapolis Colts Legend: Gary Brackett feels the team is in control of it's out destiny. Gary holds no love, but does respect, the New England Patriots. And was happy for the win in Germany. Should Anthony Richardson have started the season, in Gary's eyes? Richardson's biggest thing to learn is not taking shots, because defensive players …

This episode is brought to you by a question from a supporter: Hermitcrabbot. "Should the Colts keep an eye open next offseason for an upgrade at backup quarterback?" The back-up quarterback position is so important. Many starters are out for the 2023 NFL season! Gardner Minshew has played meaningful snaps in 9 out of 10 games this season, and has …
