The Indianapolis Colts Are Going To Be A Problem | 2024 NFL Team Previews 

How far do you think the Colts go in 2024? 🤔

I do find the Colts' offense to be full of intrigue. And, you can make a case right now that Shane Steichen is the best play & scheme designer in the league. Overall, I think that the AFC South is going to be a very interesting division this year. The division has come a long way over the past two years!

A healthy AR, no Taylor contract issue, Pittman and Mitchell, and a pretty good pass rush. I don’t know if they can overtake Houston, but I can easily see them as a WC team.

Steichen was the 2022 Eagles offense. The Colts are going to grow like a muscle under him.

Colts fan here, been WAITING for this one

Bro I’ve been telling everyone who will listen colts are my dark horse this season! I’m slamming their win total over locking them to make play offs and a little drizzle on them to make it to the SB. Season opener against the Texans books will probably let them catch 7+ points that plus the over is already my favorite play and the season ain’t even started

Here’s the thing about the colts secondary. People forget we were missing our number one outside corner almost all of last year, who was playing like a top 16 cb. That Dallas Flowers, who will be back healthy this year. Also, Juju Brents got hurt a few times last year, so we were really playing Kenny Moore, plus our third and fourth (sometimes fifth) corners. With healthy corners, and Juju Brents and Jones coming off of pretty good rookie seasons, and Flowers back in the mix, this should turn back into an average secondary, and with hopefully an above average pass rush like last year, it should be a pretty good defense. The issue last year was explosive plays, which we let up the most of last year mostly from unlucky missed tackles. It’s very interesting when you look into the stats actually. Because while the pass rush finished top 5 in sacks overall, they disappeared during parts of games, and that’s where all those explosive plays came from. What they’re hoping with Latu is that he’ll be an alpha pass rusher who can take over games and take some pressure off Buckner. As for everyone hating on AR and saying he can’t be good, while the injuries are concerning, there was really only one injury last year. The first “injury” was him banging up his knee and the colts sitting him for the last two plays of a game we weren’t winning. The second injury was an unfortunate concussion on frankly a cheap shot by a Texans DB. And the final injury was a freak tackle that resulted in a very weird injury that could happen to anyone. In fact, in the same season it happens to Derek Carr inside the pocket, just to a lesser degree. As far as his talent goes, I think we forget that he was outplaying CJ Stroud in the games he was playing. The reason his completion pct was so low was because in the first half of the rams game his receivers dropped like 5 catchable balls. But then he came back in that game and played just about perfectly, regaining a 23 pt deficit to force OT. In that stretch, he essentially made Aaron Donald (one of the best DTs ever) his son throwing directly in his face 40 yds down field to Alec Pierce, he completed two two point conversions, and never looked nervous the entire time, even if he got off to a slow start. The jags game was a solid game with only one mistake (an int that rookies throw all the time because NFL corners are more athletic and they’re not used to it yet), and in the Texans game, he was COOKING their defense with two rushing TDs before being put in for concussion protocol. He even looked great in the titans game, and you could see him visibly learning each week. And for everyone saying he should’ve sat a year, good news, THATS WHAT HE ENDED UP DOING. So yeah, those are my thoughts, great vid tho!

Y’all underrate the hell out of this team. They legitimately bottomed out last year and still won 9 games. This year cannot possibly go worse than a year where everyone got injured. This a playoff shoe-in imo. I legitimately believe this is a top 5 team in the league going into the season.

As a huge Colts fan the '23-24 season was something else. I thought we were doomed when AR went down but big props to Minshew for coming in and doing an awesome job, hope nothing but the best for him on the Raiders.

Steichen is a great coach. If he can keep things consistent on defense and build up more weapons for AR on offense then we could be looking at a sleeper contender in another season or two.

Good morning everybody

I think ARich is being a bit overhyped. He came into the league EXTREMELY raw, and only played 4 games last year, and not all of those were full games. The arguments against caleb/jayden is we haven't seen it at the NFL level yet, and AR is no different.

Colts are loaded all they really need is secondary offense is stacked they gonna be a thorn in teams sides this year

12 -5 just leave this right here!!!😎😎😎

Great video love the colts love❤️

As a huge Colts fan, I am happy to see a good positive video about them. Should be a good underdog story this year.

love the channel bro, thank you for shining a light on my colts!

You had me until you mentioned corner as the biggest need for the Colts. They have 4 good players free safety is a far bigger need.

Easr as hell and love the series! Can't wait for the Jets!

I got indi getting like 11 wins and making the wildcard

i know i am a colts fan so obviously biased, but i genuinely believe this could be a top 5 offense. Great Oline, great running back, young talented receivers. It all depends on Athony Richardson and if he can develop. He showed flashes last season. If he can continue to develop this team will be set up well. Not to mention we have an offensive mastermind who can scheme ways for his players to be successful. If everyone plays to their potential and stays healthy, this offense doesn't have a weakness. It is primarily dependent on Richardson's development. the defense could be good. Corners were an issue last year, but it was mostly an experience issue. Kenny Moore is good. Jaylon Jones and Juju Brents showed flashes. If they can develop we will be fine at corner, especially with Dallis flowers coming back. Safety is a bit thin. If we sign someone like Justin Simmons, it will greatly boost our secondary. Our front 7 is already elite. If we boost our secondary i think this defense could be top 10. I'm not sure I'm willing to say they are a dark horse contender, but i do think we are heavily being slept on. There are a lot of variables, but we could be sneaky great this season.

Colts D line is ridiculous.

I just dont see AR staying healthy with the way he likes to run.

For the corners, you forgot Dallis Flowers who suffered a season-ending injury early last year and was good before his injury. I think the organisation feels comfortable with him, Juju and Kenny as their 3 CBs

As a Colts fan, this is how a typical Colts season goes: Lose 1st 2 games -> Rattle off an impressive win streak -> Lose some games towards the end of the season jeopardizing the post season making the last game a must win-> Either win final game to make playoffs as a Wild Card/Divisional Exit or lose narrowly/in hilarious fashion missing the playoffs

everyone forgets we played with a backup running back most of the year as well

Ya made a pretty damn good case for the 2024 Indianapolis Colts! Great work - thanks for the vid

Few things about AR’s injuries. People act like he’s reckless but quite the opposite First injury: got it early in the first quarter. Took him out for 2 offensive plays down by 10 with 30 seconds left. Keeping him safe Second injury: concussions have been a huge thing the past 2 years. Huge issue the nfl needs to solve Third injury: freak accident with a 230+ pound guy landing on his shoulder at an awkward angle. He could’ve came back but the team opted for surgery so he would be safer

Dallis Flowers was the #1 outside starter last season (and not even on your list), and played very well until season ending injury. He'll be the starter again this year if healthy.

Love Colts but need to a LOT more from AR. No disrespect. Pulling for him!

I'm more worried about our safety group than corners.

I don't get you football analysis. So the Colts are going to be a problem this year but the Bucs who went Divisional last year are in for a let down?

Please just sign gilmore!

FINALLY SOME RESPECT FROM SOMEONE. Any team should be weary of playing Indy this year. A healthy AR is the leagues worst nightmare.

They have some pieces, but I don't think that they have enough to be considered a complete contender...yet...

What happened to Darius Leonard

Ar really needs to improve his accuracy from the pocket his best throws are on the run and high in the pocket. Tells me it's a mechanics issue

Ebukam gone for the season is a huge hit

Sucks we lost Samson Ebukam for the season

Pittman has everything to be the top receiver in Indy and possibly one of the best in the entire AFC. I'm sure AR will look to Mike as his safety blanket when he starts to feel pressure or when Richardson gets out of the pocket and still looking to throw

AR is getting a little overrated, only 4 games played …

As an Eagles fan, I'm still kinda sour about losing Shane Steichen but I'm actually really glad he's finding success thus-far. As for how far they'll go, I personally think there's a good chance they not only make the playoffs this year, but could possibly be a DIVISIONAL round exit, provided of course that Anthony Richardson can stay healthy. I don't think they'll make the AFC championship game. I don't think they're ready for that kind of competition. However, the season hasn't started yet so it's really anyone's guess. They could make the Super Bowl for all we know. Or they could go 9 and 8 and miss the playoffs again. Who knows? And more importantly, LOOK AT MINSHEW GO! I knew he'd succeed, given the right system. That's something I've been saying since the first time I saw him play in Jacksonville. He just needs the right people around him that can match his energy.

That Payton Curse fucked up Andrew and now the Payton and Andrew Curse on Richardson 🤦🏿‍♂️

Ebukam season ending injury.😢

Great video but saying AR is the most athletic qb with 4 games played is wild

Do a jets video bro

Love AR this season, placed a nice sum on AR MVP @ +2500

Can we wait to see if AR can stay healthy and how he performs? I get the Colts are a good team but people is crowning AR with a vety small sample size.

Bros so salty that the Giants beat the Vikings

News flash Jalen Hurts can squat over 600lbs. That's why the tush push works

The interesting thing about the colts is will Anthony Richardson be an athlete playing the QB position of an athletic QB playing the the QB position

Need more from AR

Steichen is the afc version of Shanahan

Colts fan, needed a DB, terrible pick, we have 4 DE's now that should be starting 7 total, who's playing?? Only 2 at a time, 6dbs on the roster, sign gilmore and fix the dumb trade from last year

Whats funny to me is the cinstant disrespect to gardner minshew. Dude balls out and gets called a backup regularly

Same our QB got hurt 3 times

Gould is going to be.... gold in the special teams.

Season prediction 7-10. Richardson gets hurt and out for half the season, Flacco gets hurt after a few games, and Ellinger loses 6 games in a row to end the season. Colts draft two QB's in the 2025 NFL Draft

Ar buddy stop running the ball be a qb not an rb.

The only problem they’ll have is losing too much 🥴

I feel like this is a make or break year for Gus Bradley, IMO

Colts downfall will be Gus Bradley. They need a guy with a modern defensive philosophy. Drafting two O linemen with that many really good CBs on the board still doesnt make sense to me. They should have taken a shot on someone. We could have got our 3rd rounder in the 4th or 5th honestly. Also not bringing in a vet at outside corner will bite them. Idk. We will see.

Look at all these couch GMs in the comment section🤣hilarious

The secondary will prove you wrong.

Josh downs is a dawg boys. Get ready for a breakout year

The offense wasn't the actual problem for the Colts. It was the defense. Why can't anyone see that?

Irsay wanting to be a celeb will be a wall for this team eventually unless he steps back

Hate the Colts!!! As I hate every team that isnt my own😂 with that being said Indianapolis is going to surprise alot of people I think...all I hear is how Richardson will be out by week 3 😂 well even if that's true it's not a good thing for opposing teams! We all saw what Flacco is still capable of so he'd most likely have a season like Rivers did with them. The WR room in Indy is probably the most slept on in the league..now that they added Mitchell and everyone knows what JT can do🤷‍♂️ now onto the defense...Latu is a MONSTER I've seen every game he's played in college live and he brings the ENERGY!!! He's going to be Indys TJ Watt!! Keep sleeping on those Colts because they definitely comin! Unless they're playing my boys I wish Latu nothing but success!!!

I think we're going to surprise a lot of people this year

Colts must win 10 hopefully 11 games

This team scares me as a Texans fan. Colts were a tough team with Minshew imagine AR and JT together.

A problem in a bad way!

This video is about the COLTS not AR. It seems you girls are scared 😂

big fan of steichen

I have never seen this much hype over a rookie QB who missed basically the entire season.

Go Blue

A great deal of this forecast hinges on AR being solid at QB. I just can't share the confidence that he's going to come into his own and put up numbers to the level mentioned in the video when there isn't anything from his personal performance to really suggest that. His time in Florida was underwhelming and even had he played great in the few games he played last year (he didn't, not even close) it's to small a sample. The colts essentially have a rookie QB going into the season coming off a shoulder injury to his throwing arm. I'm a Bears fan and I've some experience with this situation. Fans get all hyped up over a physically gifted QB that can run the ball, that's great and can be a great asset, but all too often it results in injury as well. People swore by Fields, despite the fact that his passing stats were never above the bottom third of the league. He was even listed as a top 100 player *shakes head* Until a QB shows they can be consistent passing the ball, you don't know what you have, but until that point, you don't have a franchise QB.

The Colts are their own worse enemy

What about the browns game? Stolen by the league.

Ar15 is barely mentioned yet the comments suggest its a video about him ot something. Bunch of mockingbirds just squacking

(5)☘☘ Can't wait for your next video! ☘☘

AR is trash he’s all talk…softer than baby💩…he’ll be on IR by week 5 again…AR has never been on a winning team where he was a starter not even in HS…mid at best at Fla. Worst first round pick by colts ever

Mane threw 3100 and 24 tds in his college career and now he suppose top these numbers in 1 year in the league 😒

Yes especially when Richardson is out by week 5 and taylor probably the 3rd preseason game and all they're left with is pittman catching 10 seven to nine yard passes a game than they'll bring in father time and the defense won't be able to cover his 3 turnovers a game like the browns defense did

Honestly, i dont quite trust Richardson yet and im a massive Colts fan. He needs to reel in his hero mode and utilise the weapons around him. Stay in the pocket unless its 3rd down and a scramble is needed. Im not happy we let Minshew walk though he absolutely deserves to start.

Whole lot of AR haters in the comments 😂 . Colts are about to shock the league 💯.. top 5 easiest schedule + a FULL season of Jonathan taylor idk how this guy didn't talk about JT.😅

I have the colts floor being 9-8 where their ceiling is a divisional round appearance

Huge fan of the channel, but even bigger fan of the Colts. I completely agree with you that we are going to be a problem this year! The afc south is going to be a problem if you ask me, Jacksonville is the weakest link to me and I'm not even saying they aren't a good team. I'm getting afc North vibes from the afc this year, i think it's fair to say every team has a good shot at a playoff appearance.

If they stay healthy they gonna surprise everyone defense has to show up every game though

Test

Colts offense will be a top 10 unit all around. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know ball

All yall haters in the comments is funny man. First of all AR is not injury prone just because he had a few small injuries and one major in five games.. First of all all AR had to do was see that safety coming and put his shoulder in the safety chest instead of letting him push him over in the endzone that caused AR to roll over and get that concussion the first time and the shoulder he was escaping and the d end pulled him down and landed on his shoulder from behind.. That is not wreckless! And as far as his accuracy his accuracy actually was 59. Something percent before he got injured and he also had 3 passing tds and four running tds before injury which has never been done in the first three games of a season or something like that.. Anyway it was something that has never been done in NFL history.. And to one interception.. If AR wouldn't have gotten hurt Noone would have been talkin bout stroud.. Also AR don't even have to do not even close to all the work.. All he has to do is get the ball to his playmakers which the colts have an abundance of riches with( no matter how many ppl or critics don't wanna admit it) cause if this team comes together with AR and JT in the back field nobody will b able to stop them Josh downs will get a thousand plus yards this year.. Hell he had almost 800 his rookie year from the slot and with Pitt already being a thousand yard number one receiver that's two.. And with AR at the helm you best believe AD and Pierce is about to have a great year.. AR will easily pass 4000 passing yards and that's not even including Woods and Olgatreee stats.. Ppl don't know football saying all this crazy hatin ass shit about the colts or AR.. Im 45 yrs old and been a colts fan since 96 and I've never even been this excited about a Peyton Manning team like I am about this team.. Now yess it can go bad and AR can get hurt again but that's a possibility with every qb in the league just as it is with AR so all the injury worries and hate because of his injury he suffered you mine as well have the same hate for Burrow and every other qb that's been injured last season or before.. Lol.. Ppl are really a trip and don't think sometimes and all you do is make yourselves look dumb or slow.. Lol.. I can't wait to see AR shit all the haters up and I'm taking reciets for him so when I C anybody that was hatin trying to get on the bandwagon when we Killin the league I'm definitely gone remind you and tell you stay in ya lane hater... Lol.. COLTSNATION year this year top 5 offense and defense..

You did the whole NFC South, and you're on the third team of the AFC South, and I have yet to hear you be less than optimistic about anyone other than the Bucs. Everyone else--all six teams--are getting a passing grade and mostly a great report. But not the Bucs. I don't think so. I don't think so at all.

Id be very surprised if they have a winning season.

A problem to watch…they are almost like watching the Steelers and paint dry😂

Colts are the biggest sleeper next season for sure

Lmao No they arent. If they are, its highly unproven and will be outta no where. They have a QB who's played less than what? 20 games in College AND the NFL? Highly unproven. Same with the mfs touting the Bears. Caleb Williams did NOTHING impressive in College. He didnt Carry his team to wins. The Bears will be lucky to win 8 games this year if that

If Richardson takes even a marginal leap in 2024, we're back in the championship game picture.

Being a part of that weak ass division, you may be right.

Ambiguous-anapolis Colts 💙🖤🤍
