The Colts' Defense, 2023 Season

[Racehorse]

They got my FF team 23 points today. Puck got -3 from the Chargers' defense.

(DECEMBER 17th)


The Colts lead the NFL with at least 1 takeaway (turnover) by their defense for 19 consecutive games.

The last time that the Colts' defense failed to produce a turnover was in November of 2022, in a game against ...... the Steelers.

Are people really this dumb? This team is on the verge of setting the franchise sack record with a secondary full of rookies. Talented, promising rookies, yes, but rookies nonetheless. Did anyone expect the defense to perform well statistically this year? I didn’t, especially against the pass. The way Ballard constructed the roster, it looked like he wanted to take the lumps to develop a promising secondary going forward. That has more or less happened, with the hope being that JuJu Brents can be more healthy going forward. If you fire Bradley now, you remove the system that those players fit, and you completely start the process over. Hopefully the front office is smart enough to know how stupid that idea is.

Horseshoe Heros is just click bait anyways. I stopped falling for it last season.

There is a fire Bradley and the defense sucks mentality going around social media and I am not sure where it is coming from.

I don't want Bradley fired. But he is the anti-Steichen. If we are going to have a risk taking damn the torpedoes offense, then the defense at some point would have to show some of those same characteristics.

I believe that is what Steichen would want.

I realize this season is not ideal for that with a not very talented back end. But hopefully we have the pieces next season to see a little more aggressive.

The 19-game streak is over ...... the Colts' defense did not produce a turnover against the Falcons this afternoon.

A defensive scheme that can match the aggressiveness of head coach Shane Steichen would be a match made in heaven. With how important the passing game has become in today's NFL, a conservative defense up front and on the back end just isn't going to cut it anymore. Bradley's style of defense is outdated, and the Colts can either move on or be left in the past with it.
