  6. Look I don’t know if it will work or not but I’ll bet this was the only possible higher cause no one wanted to come here. Dennis Allen is going to the bears with Ben Johnson, this wasn’t an aggressive higher and that’s kinda been the motto of the colts not aggressive

  7. Colts fans were going to bitch no matter who it was. Ballard is an idiot etc. Give the guy a chance and let’s see what he can do you bunch of Debbie Downers.

  11. Bengals had the true mvp .. triple crown winner.. two number 1 WRs .. a good tight end and they missed the playoffs
 why you ask? The defense was giving up like 35 a damn game.. I can’t believe the colts doing this funky shit. Another year where the defense is subpar and our qb will be blamed for not averaging 30 ppg

  14. Zac you talked about Gus being a big cover 1/cover 3 guy, was he not basic cover 2 all year long? Blackmon is on the chopping block for his inability to effectively cover people as the SS, i feel like that is because of the primarily cover 2 scheme. Gus RARELY ran man, regardless of the money that we felt that Kenny Moore was worth and regardless of how lethal Womack proved to be, he consistently dropped them into “curl/flat” zone coverage which brought out the worst in them. Anarumo running cover 1 (basically man with a little safety help) would be awesome for this team. Exposing who is and who isn’t actually lethal in coverage and figuring out who our real pass rushers are while our corners try to lock down receivers. We need more of that.

  16. Not my number 1 choice but I swear reading comments day after day im convinced 90% of society are just miserable people lol. People complaining just to complain with little knowledge in sports and everything

  18. The pros and cons of this hiring.

    Pros: unpredictable, innovative, and specializes in defensive backs.

    Cons: It takes time to get the players adapted and the correct personnel in place to run this innovated defensive scheme of Lou's. Time and patience isn't something the fanbase and ownership of the Colts will be able to tolerate.

  21. I want him to bring along Jim Betcher as the LB coach. Wilson and Pratt excelled under his tutelage. BJ Hill and A D-G and perhaps Gesicki on Offense would be nice FA targets as well.

  22. Sonwe went from #30 ranked defense to #27. Alright, now, let's listen to the fans and go overpay J Fields so we can from a 45% accurate qb to a 49% accuracy qb who was fired and then benched. Play offs here we come.
