Cam Bynum recently highlighted what to expect from the new-look Colts’ defense under Lou Anarumo.

On a recent appearance on ‘The Insiders,’ Indianapolis Colts‘ safety Cam Bynum described what we can expect from this new-look defense under Lou Anarumo, and a lot of it starts with the play style.

“I think just a unit playing as one,” Bynum said. “I think we’re going to play fast, and that’s really what I want to bring to this team, just the confidence that we go out there every single time and be able to make this defense our own.”

During his tenure as Cincinnati’s defensive coordinator, Anarumo earned the nickname ‘Mad Scientist.’ In part, that’s a product of the malleability of his defensive scheme.

Like any play-caller, Anarumo has core principles that his system is built on, but he’s also quick to adjust and will mold the scheme to the skill sets that are on the roster in order to maximize those abilities. Week-to-week things can change as well, based on who the opponent is and what they do well.

As Anarumo has described, at the end of the da,y it’s about making the quarterback uncomfortable, and part of accomplishing that is throwing a variety of different looks at them.

“Coach Lou is super aggressive in the way that he plays and the way that he coaches,” Bynum added. “He’s letting guys play to our strengths, and that’s one thing that I see out of him.”

As Bynum mentions, this is going to be a more aggressive Colts’ defense under Anarumo. There will be more man coverage on the back end, along with a heavy usage of disguised coverages. In the front seven, there will be more blitzing and movement along the defensive line.

GM Chris Ballard took some big swings in free agency by signing Bynum and Charvarius Ward to help elevate the play of the defense, but the addition of Anarumo and his defensive system will play a key role in accomplishing that as well.

“I know what we’re just going to be able to play as a whole unit and know that we’re out there playing for each other,” Bynum said. “So I think we’re going to play as one and just play fast. Be one of those teams that you turn the tape on and can really stand out and be like, this team plays fast and they’re playing physical.”
