Maybe, I think the investments at receiver in recent years combined with Steichen's history makes me think they are gonna continue to lean into 11 personnel.
Hey I never comment on YT but I stumbled across your channel as a Colts fan and reluctantly clicked expecting the same regurgitated stuff but legit your breakdown was actually purposeful with film, teaching, numbers. So refreshing to watch actual content and not :The Colts will be better because blah blah garbage". Keep this up and your channel is gunna be huge
The improvement in the Colts offensive line can be traced to replacing Chris Strausser as OL coach with Tony Sparano. The room never vibed with Strausser and was better with previous OL coach, Dave DeGuglielmo. In 2022, the OL was riddled with mental errors and miscommunication that lasted all season. Matt Ryan had so many free rushers, he couldn't do anything.
@@MetaTaco317 You are misinformed. Mudd left during training camp the year Strausser got hired. He eft without a public statement, but the rumors were that they disagreed on how things should run. And Mudd is the guy that got him in there through Irsay.
As a fantasy player, I'm in on the Colts this year, specifically targeting Taylor, Richardson, and Woods (as a value TE). I appreciate your doing a deeper dive into Ad. Mitchell's YPRR. May have to bump him up a bit, especially in best ball. Sounds like a guy you can get in the second half of drafts that can have some pretty solid spike weeks. Thanks!
people forget that the Colts would've been in the playoffs last year if that pass on 4th and short by Minshew wasn't underthrown. Them and the Texans are gonna finally make the AFC south entertaining again 😭
While our offensive line was much better this year, I don’t think Steichen deserves the credit. 2022 was just a weird dumpster fire year for the whole team, but especially the offensive line. Personnel was the same in 2023; however, they brought in offensive line coach Tony Sparano. I think he deserves the credit. I have a good feeling about this year. We just need health and our DBs to not play like rookies (and I think they may still bring in a veteran safety).
You are not the first person to bring up Sparano. The execution definitely got better and I have no problem attributing that to him. I just looked for some different tendencies that could be quantified.
Notice the pressure rate only dropped 10% but sack rate was down much more. I attribute it to a modern offense which gets rid of the ball fast instead of Reich's 7 step drop by 40 year old QB.
Colesen. How do you only have four or five videos on your YT channel? Do you have a tremendous amount of insight and should continue to progress. You just earned another follower by the way
The only problem is if richardson can stay healthy,Other that i feel like this could be a massive sleeper team,cause richardson and jt alone is terifying now they have two taller WR
@@AyushKhanapureother than one big play to start the game in the final match.. Houston struggled with Indy … Indy had that game wrapped up but a bad drop… look at the numbers between the both of last season games… Indy dominated them with or without starters
Hey Stroud, Lawrence, Levis, Mahomes, and every QB the Colts face, the Colts defensive line and linebackers, specifically Zaire are coming for you. The league is sleeping on the Colts. Youve just been put on notice.
@@slaw_fb When the Colts replaced Leonard with Ronnie Harrison Jr. and converted Harrison Jr. from safety to linebacker I called it out. I knew INTs were coming. 2 of them in his first two games and one for a pick 6. One of the safeties they just drafted will be playing linebacker from what I've heard. That's a Tony Dungy thing. Safeties playing linebacker and dropping back into coverage.
Jelani Woods comes back from injury, too! This offense is going to be so dangerous if AR can stay healthy.
Stop jelani woods is a practice squad player at best
@@123shoshanPratice Squad is wild
Animal. Great rush blocker too
Boy you smoking dope 😅@@123shoshan
@@123shoshanyou dont know ball he was one of most effecient te in his rookie year
Excellent explanation of the formations and schemes. Missing is the likely effect of implementation of two-TE sets, with the return of Jelani Woods.
Maybe, I think the investments at receiver in recent years combined with Steichen's history makes me think they are gonna continue to lean into 11 personnel.
@@slaw_fb Why not both? If I had to guess, 11 personnel between the 20s, 2TE in the redzone and when pinned back.

Yes absolutely, the group just appeared to be much more cohesive and on the same page in ‘23. the mental errors in 2022 were agonizing to watch
@@slaw_fb oh yes, we know
Stausser's OL's were decent when his friend Howard Mudd held his hand but once Mudd passed, Strausser was on his own and failed.
@@MetaTaco317 You are misinformed. Mudd left during training camp the year Strausser got hired. He eft without a public statement, but the rumors were that they disagreed on how things should run. And Mudd is the guy that got him in there through Irsay.
Strausser was Frank’s boy. Notice how the OL progressively got worse and softer with the same players after Frank fired Deguglieamo [SP]??

This is truly great content, Colesen
Doing my best, it means a lot to hear that
I think his accuracy will get better since he had to relearn to throw after the injury
people forget that the Colts would've been in the playoffs last year if that pass on 4th and short by Minshew wasn't underthrown. Them and the Texans are gonna finally make the AFC south entertaining again 😭
Bro i dont know if I blame Minshew more or RB for dropping it we win that game for sure
You mean if the browns game wasn't stolen by the refs.
Minshews fault pass was low
i see you discovered after effects… nice
and illustrator… sadly
Great content. Can not believe this is one of your first vids. I shared it and have left comments to help out.
I love the breakdown and your insight, young man

I remember Minshew fighting for his life in multiple games. Ima give Steichen the credit.

@@MetaTaco317 Yeah, pressure to sack rate also dropped and also, AR and Minshew are just much better at avoiding sacks than the corpse of Matt Ryan
Great content and film breakdown

I’m so excited for this upcoming season
AR15 was my QB1 last season!
Stroud was my QB2.
Think Colts are primed for a great year…how do defenses plan for JT & AR in the RPO and not leave their CB’s on islands?
Top 5 offense. Screenshot and save for later.
hell yeah
The only problem is if richardson can stay healthy,Other that i feel like this could be a massive sleeper team,cause richardson and jt alone is terifying now they have two taller WR
Good take!
Go Colts!!
Raw power, top 5, I'll give him that
Accuracy, not even top 40
They beat the Texans with a healthy AR and it wasn’t really close. I can see them as the division winners
That was one game. Cj and the defense didn’t even hit thier stride yet
@@AyushKhanapureother than one big play to start the game in the final match.. Houston struggled with Indy … Indy had that game wrapped up but a bad drop… look at the numbers between the both of last season games… Indy dominated them with or without starters
Definitely
@@gardockis.playground that’s like saying that if u took away JT rushing yards the Texans would have dominated them
@@AyushKhanapure huh… i didn’t say take away anything.. including CJ’s one big play.. Colts outplayed Houston… even with a backup quarterback
Good vid
I-N-D-Y!!!!!

Love Zaire’s tape. Early season standout for me last year

What excuses are going to be made when the bum A.R. doesn't get it done?
Go Flaco!!!!
Just wish he could make throws.
HE CANT
I'm sorry I can't see what everybody else see in Richardson!
By week 5 taylor Richardson and downs will all be out via injury and father time will be throwing 3 pics a game
By week 10 the Texans will realize playing the 7th hardest schedule is harder than playing the 9th easiest.
LMAO Anthony Richardson is going to dissapoint you again lmao
