The Shane Steichen Era of the Indianapolis Colts had its first official milestone this week with the start of offseason meetings between players and the first year head coach.

As one would expect, with a new head coach and many new faces on staff, there will be plenty of time spent installing new philosophies and game plans while also spending time getting to know personnel.

One of the many players excited for this new chapter is Colts defensive end Kwity Paye, who is entering his 3rd season with the team. While the defense did its job for most of last season, Paye and Co. are aware that there is still plenty of room for growth and improvement.

The obvious issues with the team reside on the offensive side of the ball, particularly at the position of quarterback, but a step back for Gus Bradley’s group would be unfortunate to say the very least.

Another leap forward in Year 3 for Kwity Paye would go a long way to making this defense a true threat within the AFC. We can discuss all we want the need for a franchise QB, but with other established stars at that position in the conference, (and a rising star in the division), they’ll need weapons like Paye to rise to the occasion if they have any hope of catching up.
