I watched several Bengals games over the last 2 years. Every game the D game up tons ofpoints and offense had to ohtscore the bad defense. Sounds alot like the Colts defense.
Colts fans are upset because it’s the internet, and there is no requirement to be informed before reacting emotionally. Before the internet, I never knew so many people loved to bitch. Lol
@@KentSterlingi feel like if we keep our core playmakers buck morre franklin etc and upgrade with depth and experience we can have a very competitive and consistent and successful defensive of men are held to higher standards
I do not understand colts fans . I am excited for our new defense . Reason why they weren’t good ; it’s cause they lost a lot of key players in free agency last season. Lot of talented lost . He is upgrade for sure!
I think the anger is because Lou maybe an upgrade (we don’t know because he has never been a part of a top 5 defense at any level), but when you get a guy who was just fired and has not proven to have a true top defense, you get a little angry! You couldn’t find a single person who was a DC, on the staff of, or played on a top 5 defense in the past 10 years! That seems like a lot of people! Why do you have to pick from the candidates everyone is telling you to interview! Think outside the box man….end rant! 😂
Thank you for saying that in the beginning, what is the issue with the hire? People have a terrible recency bias. He coach in the most competitive division in the NFL and did the most with the least. We have way more talent on defense than the Bengals, this is a win for us. Its a nice first step.
So because we are part of a weak division he'll do well? Take a look at next year's schedule I don't see much improvement next season maybe the following season.
I don't think it's that they're mad about Lou, for me personally I just wish we had picked up Dennis Allen instead, Lou will be good for us tho because he has a similar but more adaptive play style to Gus for Bradleys defense, Lou pretty much adapts play by play where like you said, Gus said if you can beat it you can beat it lol
Lou has his work cut out for him. There’s a big bunch of players that may not like him coming over. That being said who cares what they like. I hope Lou put the ones that bring the juice are on the field and the slackers are on benched , sent to the practice squad or if needed cut or waived. Good luck coach Anarumo.
You could give the Colts a brand new car and they would find something to complain about it and how it wasn't as good as their old junker. Colts fans look at 1 stat and say something is bad while ignoring more important critical factors. Heck, you could give them the new car, say you forgot to fill it up and they would say it was broken because their old car was full. The disconnect is alarming with the couch GMs. Granted, frustration and disappointment is real and warrated, but this is a positive change and at least could be helpful and shows Ballard at least changed to allow Shane to make the hire and to pick a guy completely different than Ballards type. It's a step in the right direction with a long ways to go.
Gus was never given the player's that fit his scheme, and had to work with what he had, with that being said I believe Anaroma is an upgrade as long as the scheme doesn't hinder the ability of player's to play fast.
The biggest argument I keep hearing for Lou is "he had no talent last year" Ok well he had Hendrickson which is better than any of our DEs. And did we magically acquire a bunch of talent on the defensive side of the ball that I'm unaware of?? He's a garbage hire.. I'm a DC. 4-3 schemes are easy to beat if you understand coverages and X's and O's .. For the love of God hire a 3-4 guy
I don't think Lou is going to be able to tell, or teach, many of our current players how to tackle. The ones who stink at tackling should simply be replaced with guys who can
To many reallys when saying that the Bengals defense was really really really good in 2021 and 22! Top 5 overall defense is really really good! That is really facts….haha
Before everyone figured out how to attack Gus, and the talent level there waned. Then Gus went to Jax, and then the Chargers, and then the Raiders, and then the Colts where his defenses were either bad - or got worse. Nothing against Gus, but in three years, there was no sign of a pulse.
Good news…..McDaniels is going back home to be the Patriots offensive coordinator & make Drake a better quarterback. Tom Brady 2.0 Isn’t that exciting, Kent?😃
Colts could've hired a defensive God and we will still be mad because this team sucks. Ballard needed to be fired. A DC can't turn a turd into gold. Even if they try, their best, Ballard won't give him real talent to make it work. Chris will bring in the NFL's fastest hand clapper and cheek flapper or some other BS metric and not what we need. The DC is just taking shots because people want Ballard gone.
Playing devil's advocate on Lou here. It's like you always say about players coming from other teams. There is a reason they are available. If Cincinnati thought he was as good as you say and the others around the league say, they would have done more to keep him
I'm not angry, it's just hard to get excited for anything that starts with Jim Irsay. It just feels like the same ole same ole. Prove me wrong, I guess.
It's a push Bradley had a shit roster🤔 but it's OK if Lou had a shit roster. We'll draft a tightened than a couple mediocre defensive players we need a stud end or linebacker more than a tightened.
Unfortunately it doesn't matter who we have this team will 💯 miss playoffs again next season!! Bengals D was awful!! If it wasn't for Burrow and Chase that team was lucky to win 3 games seriously..
I'm excited about the hire. Sometimes there is too much knee jerk reaction without doing the research. Lou is a highly respected DC. Bengals ownership handicapped him in terms of talent, and he was fired as the scapegoat for the entire organization. I think we'll see major improvements.
Mr sterling….y do u keep putting smut on Zaire’s name… he led da league n tackles this yr and speed wasn’t to far behind em. His missed tackles come off a receivers which lb’s aren’t really suppose to guard right???
Ranking 186th of 189 in missed tackles is not good, and it's not smut. It's a statistic. And Speed wan't far behind him in misses - just three back at 189 of 189. Wherever the misses came from, there were 185 linebackers who didn't miss as many. Play in the NFL is defined by mistakes.
He led da league n tackles for crying out loud and u said nothing about it I mean absolutely nothing… that is so frivolous of u…so Zaire Franklin is suppose to run with and tackle a Jamar chase??
Look at Our new defense Coordinator. His ranking is just as bad as Bradley. Watch and see. Ask Joe Burrow how it felt to score 30 plus and still lose. Nothing good is going to come of this.Except a year late rebuild with Stiechen and Ballard fired before end of next year.
I watched several Bengals games over the last 2 years. Every game the D game up tons ofpoints and offense had to ohtscore the bad defense.

You made me actually laugh out loud with your Old Louisiana Man impersonation 😂
I love this hire. Let’s go Colts!!
Colts fans are upset because it’s the internet, and there is no requirement to be informed before reacting emotionally. Before the internet, I never knew so many people loved to bitch. Lol
I am optimistic about the future of this team
Perhaps the discontent over the QB situation and keeping Ballard is spilling over on to Lou?
Your Louisiana accent is quite entertaining!!! LOL
god bless everyone may we stay safe and healthy until it's time to rally with our colts ❤
Rally more like throw in the towel 🤣🤣🤣 2025 season a wrap
Safe, healthy, rally! Check, chack, check!
@@brucecox5025regardless of anything it still brings the family together that's the biggest blessing you can have

He's PURE ASS what more proof on paper do you want ?
I haven't heard anyone in the NFL or from an NFL team who doesn't respect the hell out of Anarumo.
@@KentSterling kent we love ya brother but stats on paper 📃 don't lie he's awful dead last in every category
@@KentSterlingThen why did Cincinnati let him leave?
I am glad the colts got the d coordinator they did. And I hope the Colts make the playoffs next year
Hey Kent could you do a mock draft for us please love the pod go Colts

Colts fans appear jaded or skeptical, not angry, that any front office move is going to improve the team.
Enjoy the next seven plus months without any reason to be disappointed by a loss!
He’s probably the only one willing to take the job knowing the GM and HC are on a short leash.
Kenny Morre II is excited I would think that’s a great sign

Welcome to the colts Lou 🤘🍔
That's the spirit.
@@KentSterling Definitely I appreciate all the Indiana sports talk thanks Kent.
Please don't sign the contract get out while you can this whole thing gonna blow up 🤣🤣🤣 Colts suck
@@brucecox5025 lol I am forever going to be a Colts fan 🤘🍔 Have a good day Hoosier Hospitality.
Sounds like cam skattebo might be the perfect compliment to Jonathan Taylor
We should’ve been patient like the bengals and at least interviewed Al golden
We should draft high at te & safety bring in solid veteran corners to go wit Brents & Jones
With Lou coming… I am worried we might not draft Warren from Penn State and will go aggressively after Defensive rookie starters
Make the zonk gift a box of mac n cheese 🧀 lol😂😂
Kraft Mac n Cheese is awesome!
@@KentSterling Shells & Cheese
I like the hire. However, we need to tackle people and if we plan on blitzing more.
So the zonk prize is a wearable that I won't want to wear? So it's an Ohio State sweatshirt?
bears kinda sounds like the colts :)
The boofey line lol
I don't think it's that they're mad about Lou, for me personally I just wish we had picked up Dennis Allen instead, Lou will be good for us tho because he has a similar but more adaptive play style to Gus for Bradleys defense, Lou pretty much adapts play by play where like you said, Gus said if you can beat it you can beat it lol
I totally agree with you Kent
You are very smart!

Do you think it was money that kept Dennis Allen away??

The Colts Keep making Clunkers every year So how would We be happy about that 🙄
Because every year we’re winning championships right? 🙄
He's an upgrade, but not a big enough upgrade to put us back on top. We had an opportunity to sign a difference maker and we didn't. Same old Colts.
I hope he doesn’t confuse our defense player first. That might be the reason why Gus keeps trying to play simple.
Why are they pissed? Because Cincinnati's defense was worse than the Colts' defense in 2024.
Happy to help.
Simply because we don’t have the players.
Gus was never given the player's that fit his scheme, and had to work with what he had, with that being said I believe Anaroma is an upgrade as long as the scheme doesn't hinder the ability of player's to play fast.
Indiana football is going to be in the "prove it" doghouse until we beat ranked teams. Unfair, but true.
The biggest argument I keep hearing for Lou is "he had no talent last year"
Ok well he had Hendrickson which is better than any of our DEs.
And did we magically acquire a bunch of talent on the defensive side of the ball that I'm unaware of??

Geez I am just excited for any change whatsoever. I would have cheered for a change in announcers. 😂. Just change something.
We still have the worst QB in the NFL and no Talent to do anything on Defense. We don't have the Players and Ballard picks the Players 😂
Telly Savalas was born 103 years go today! Who loves ya baby?
To many reallys when saying that the Bengals defense was really really really good in 2021 and 22! Top 5 overall defense is really really good! That is really facts….haha
Hey Kent, go back to 2012-14 . Gus Bradley could really coach!!!
Before everyone figured out how to attack Gus, and the talent level there waned. Then Gus went to Jax, and then the Chargers, and then the Raiders, and then the Colts where his defenses were either bad - or got worse. Nothing against Gus, but in three years, there was no sign of a pulse.

We're gonna really confuse everyone with our mediocre talent 😂.
I think they have five good starters, one who can't stay healthy, three who are mediocre, and two who need to go.
Don't forget the mediocre General Manager.
See if ohio state can play our schedule so we can go to the super bowl
As long as they don't have to play Michigan.
Playing devil's advocate on Lou here. It's like you always say about players coming from other teams. There is a reason they are available. If Cincinnati thought he was as good as you say and the others around the league say, they would have done more to keep him

I'm not angry, it's just hard to get excited for anything that starts with Jim Irsay. It just feels like the same ole same ole. Prove me wrong, I guess.
he wasn't good enough for Cincinnati so sure we'll take him
It's a push Bradley had a shit roster🤔 but it's OK if Lou had a shit roster. We'll draft a tightened than a couple mediocre defensive players we need a stud end or linebacker more than a tightened.
I'll take a live goat
Is there any way to ship one?
Unfortunately it doesn't matter who we have this team will 💯 miss playoffs again next season!! Bengals D was awful!! If it wasn't for Burrow and Chase that team was lucky to win 3 games seriously..
If that good why Bengal let go
Love my Colts…But the fan base is prone to complaining. You could hire Prime 1976 Pittsburg Steelers defensive coordinator and the fans would complain
10 yrs 10 freaking years of the same Bs crap and you ain't had enough of this as a fellow colts fan
They hope for Ballard and Steichen to hire fame instead of competence.
Ohio State baby
Bring back Zack moss
Franklin needs to go. He’s the rotten apple that spoiled the basket.
Naw fr bro tryna make it out the league with his attitude
The entire defense needs to get its head on straight.
@@KentSterling agree Kent
Has Hurley throw-ed a chair yet?
Not sure he can lift one!
I can lift a chair

That is what I'm hearing from people in Cincinnati!
I guess a highly respected DC is an upgrade from a highly likable DC
Now yall know how us AR Fans feel, and Ballard fans feel. Welcome! Lol this Is Colts Culture. COLTURE!
Mr sterling….y do u keep putting smut on Zaire’s name… he led da league n tackles this yr and speed wasn’t to far behind em. His missed tackles come off a receivers which lb’s aren’t really suppose to guard right???
Ranking 186th of 189 in missed tackles is not good, and it's not smut. It's a statistic. And Speed wan't far behind him in misses - just three back at 189 of 189. Wherever the misses came from, there were 185 linebackers who didn't miss as many.
Play in the NFL is defined by mistakes.
@@KentSterling what lb n da league tackles receivers consistently??
He led da league n tackles for crying out loud and u said nothing about it I mean absolutely nothing… that is so frivolous of u…so Zaire Franklin is suppose to run with and tackle a Jamar chase??
