Colts Coverage
INDIANAPOLIS – Of the handful of Day 3 draft picks the Colts had in 2020, the last one taken appears to have the best chance to make a Week 1 impression. Before Jordan Glasgow went from walk-on at the University of Michigan to senior starter at linebacker, he was making his presence felt on 4th […]
INDIANAPOLIS – The selection is mostly on potential. It’s not often you see a wide receiver get drafted with just 12 career starts, no kick or punt return history and coming off a full season in which he finished 4th on his team in receptions. But that was the case with Washington State’s Dezmon Patmon. […]
INDIANAPOLIS – When the height and weight popped up on new Colts cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, it looked like a misprint. At 5-10 and 170 pounds, Rodgers doesn’t meet the typically stringent size requirements that Chris Ballard has for the cornerback position. He’s even on the small end for the vast majority of college cornerbacks. Before […]
INDIANAPOLIS – One more contract with the Colts, preferably of the multi-year length, and then it’ll be time for T.Y. Hilton to call it a career. That’s the plan for the 30-year-old Hilton as he embarks on a 9th NFL season this fall. “I want to be a Colt for life,” Hilton said on Wednesday, […]
INDIANAPOLIS – Early on in the tenure of Matt Eberflus, he introduced everyone to the term ‘loafs’ when it came to grading his defensive players. Atop the pre-requisite list to play in Eberflus’ defense is this: High effort. No slacking. Run to the ball Well, 6th round pick Rob Windsor checks the box of having […]
INDIANAPOLIS – If Chris Ballard was looking for a detailed answered, with ample reasoning behind it, he wasn’t getting it from Matt Eberflus. If Ballard was looking for conviction though, he was hearing that. Hey Matt, what would be your thoughts about us trading for DeForest Buckner? “I had two (answers), yes and yes,” Eberflus […]
INDIANAPOLIS – If all goes according to plan for the Colts the next two years, the need for Danny Pinter to start might not be there. Of course, the odds of that happening to the position group that Pinter is part of are slim. That’s life as an offensive lineman. Assuming an extension for center […]
INDIANAPOLIS – Instead of sneaking into the Zoom like he did during the 2020 Draft, Nick Sirianni was the center of (virtual) attention on Monday morning. Sirianni, along with fellow coordinator Matt Eberflus, met with the media for the first time during the 2020 offseason. What were some of the highlights from Sirianni? –On […]
INDIANAPOLIS – The seismic shift had the Colts hoping and wanting to play as many young defenders as possible, in order to gain that valuable experience early in careers. For Matt Eberflus, that goal was largely accomplished in 2018 and 2019. On Monday, Eberflus met the media for the first time this offseason to go […]
INDIANAPOLIS – Without question, the Colts drafted two players who have a collegiate resume that indicate they can contribute from Day One. But after the selections of Michael Pittman and Jonathan Taylor, things get a bit murkier in predicting early playing time for the Colts 2020 draft picks. And these rookies will be hindered by […]
