The Colts are really, really, really, REALLY good.

brb gonna go watch Peyton throw four picks in the 2003 AFC Championship to make myself feel better

Huge colts fan, this is the first video ever watched from this channel. Excellent job gentlemen

Jelani woods over Kyle Granson is crazy

Need AR healthy

The Colts got the family back together for this season and it's starting off well this off season. No fights at the family barbecue. All the family seems good. No drama or holdouts. A second year with Steichen good. JT healthy will be bringing it in the running game. Some nice additions with rookies that should contribute early in the pass rush and receiving game. Anthony Richardson needs to stay on the field and build his game. He will add to the run game so Zack Moss loss shouldn't be that bad. Colts should be solid and get at least 10 or 11 games. Playoff spot perhaps.

28th in scoring defense 2 years in a row is the definition of bad guys

Did these guys really do an in depth 1 hour plus analysis of the Colts roster without even mentioning Jonathan Taylor? A healthy JT is easily a top 4 or 5 RB in the league.
Enjoyed the video but that was a glaring oversight.

don’t even need to watch the video. but you’re correct

Unfair that such a young team had to be in the same division with that monster lol. He looked like the grim reaper to us Texans fans

Solid analysis guys 👍🏼

You guys are great!!!

Thanks for showing the Colts some love! Hearing someone say that LOS is now one of the older stadiums made my bones turn to dust😂

The AFC South is really up for grabs. 3 really good teams that all 3 could win the division. Nothing's going to be easy. Most likely the team that avoids injuries wins the division.

I'm sorry, I just am not buying Anthony Richardson as a franchise QB. His completion percentage has always been awful going back to college and there are very few successful NFL quarterbacks with a sub 60% completion percentage. I don't care how athletic he is, you need a good thrower to win a SB in the NFL these days.

The Colts actually "won" 10 games if you count the Cleveland theft.

Fuck the colts

Lucas oil was built one year before Jerry World. It is not close to the top half ofnthe leagues buildings. It is in fact the 8th newest @BootlegFootball

Just an FYI....Colts brass have publicly stated they intend to play Jaylon Carlies at Linebacker. He's gonna be the super athletic coverage type for the freaky TE's and such.

if we stay healthy we win... we never stay healthy... hopefully that changes...

Excited to see latu

If AR stays healthy we are gonna b blowing teams out cause we will score Alot of points.. There is Alot of good talent on this team and I can't wait to see STEICHEN put it together cause I know he's gonna have fun.. This team could b more talented than the Philly team that went to the superbowl.. I think flacco will get to play a couple of games but it won't b cause AR is hurt.. It will b because they want to rest him for the playoffs... But we will b 13-4 Goin to the afc championship game.. Book it!.. And I think downs will have a slight better season than AD.. But slight.. But u guys did a great job man.. You guys know what your talkn about

The overall stat of their run defense took a massive hit when Grover Stewart went out for 6 games. Now, they also have Raekwon to remedy that if one of the big dawgs goes down. And now Latu as well. They should be extremely tough to run against this year.

Just curious about the Bootleg schedule because we do have a Bears fan in the house, wondering about the North Saga? EJ, what's Caleb's upside as a rookie ya think? It will be a CANNOT MISS episode!

Colts fan, appreciate the comments! I'm a little more negative on my team than you two, I mean 11 or 12 wins ceiling sure... but I'm seeing 7 wins baseline, less if Flacco can't be decent after AR goes down. I see no reason to believe AR will stay healthy. See I don't think of the Colts' success in WINS I see their success hinging on if AR can stay healthy for over or under 8 games. They'll win 10+ if AR stays upright, but if not they won't see playoffs again. Nevermind the fact that they still have NO secondary,, you say they're solid OTHER than one little thing! And yeah, agree 100%! But you'd think if you need something fixed you'd see ADDITIONS in the offseason. If there's one thing the Colts didn't do this offseason, it was NOT fixing anything.

They still don't have a safety, still a VERY young defense that will struggle to wrap up, they also lost and didn't replace theyr RB2 behind a very injury prone Jonathan Taylor. They have chosen to rely on Trey Sermon for that! I believe in Steichen, but once again he's gonna have to coach his ass off to keep us competitive.

I fully believe if the colts sign Justin Simmons it will turn this defense into a top 10 unit. Our safety room is by far our weakest position, so signing Simmons would greatly help. He could help provide a veteran presence int he locker room, while also providing great play on the field. Him and Julian Blackmon would be one of the best safety duos in the league. Together they would help provide support to the young inexperienced corners. The secondary being improved would also provide more time for the front 7. Our front 7 is already very good. improving the secondary would put the defense over the top.

The offense might be the most talented this team has been since the manning era. 4 promising young WRs, a good Oline, complimentary pieces at tight end, a top 5 running back, the most physically gifted quarterback ever, and an Offensive genuis at head coach. It all depends on AR. The pairing of AR and JT in the backfield could very well be the most talented backfield in the league purely forma rushing standpoint. AR's arm will open up the passing game. Alec pierce is a good deep threat, Downs is prolific on his routes, Pittman is great in 50/50 balls, and AD has the talent to do all of that. Jelani Woods is an athletic freak who can provide a safety net for AR, especially in the red zone. Not to mention our O line is one of the best units in the league. Shane Steichen will scheme ways to use all of this talent, and take some pressure off AR as he continues to develop.
I believe this team has the potential to have a top 10 defense and could have a top 5 offense. It all depends on if AR can stay healthy and continue to develop. I know i ama biased colts fan, but i genuinely believe we are a dark horse to make a deep playoff run if everything goes right.

Colts are not that good and Richardson hasn’t done shit like wtf

I don’t believe you mentioned Jonathan Taylor even one time in that entire podcast! Really!? He will be the reason they win 11+ games! C’mon man!

As a colts fan respectfully f*ck you back. Cry me a river. Sounds like a fair weather fan to me.

Awesome analysis. As a Colts fan, and I'm sure for both you guys as a Texans and Bears fan respectively, it sucks when people want to not talk about your team and sleep on them when they truly have an extremely talented roster.

So many media personalities and fans alike somehow miss the nuance of football, and everything that goes into it. This podcast was probably the most accurate and honest assessment of the current Colts team that I have heard, and I thank you for that.

I think the Colts and Texans are about to have a fun decade of back and forth for the South crown and I'm here for it. Both super talented young rosters with great young coaches and quarterbacks.
Thanks again for great content backed up by analytics and not pure bullshit.

Starting off with the beef 😂😂

Richardson is going to have to learn to throw the ball away during blown plays instead of trying to make plays with his feet if he wants to reach legend status

if yall need fantasy help with our pass catchers,

pittman obvisouly going to be our premier wr, ppr leagues he’ll finish top 15 i guarantee

joshdowns wr2 he’ll barely step off the field, primary slot

AP is going to be our wideout #2 until ADM’s talent is just undeniable, I’d pick up ADM off waiver wire in the middle of the year since AP is going to be a very underrated blocker and deap threat. there were 6 missing 40 yard + TDs since garnder didnt have the arm. AP will take a step forward but id see a transition in snap share with ADM bc i think ADM is a ceedee lamb copy and paste

Hilarious to hear the 114 proof bourbon kick in at the end.
GO HOSSES!!!

Brett: Whistling in the dark with thumbs even: +AR5, +full year of Big Grove, +Latu, +AD Mitchell..... HA HA!!!

Nine to 11 wins is about right.

As a Gator fan, I need Richardson to be an all-pro to shut up the stupid fans that criticized him for leaving

Anthony Gould (WR-Oregon State) was drafted as a kick returner, under the theory that the kick off return play is going to be more important in 2024. Ballard picked up the pick to take him from the hapless Carolina Panthers by trading back 3 spots in the 2nd Round — still getting his guy, AD Mitchell, but also the bonus piece.

It was a masterful little bit of draft-GMing.

If you hate the weather in the Pacific Northwest, wait five minutes, it will change.

Pitt got paid a fair rate to play in a place he wants to be.

I don't play fantasy football, but AD Mitchell at 57 is a crazy value. He's the burner on this team and also the best route-runner, I am guessing.

This was a much better show when Bret didn't spend half of the talking about being a Texans fan.

yall snapped

The Colts were 20th ranked in run defense with their run stopper, Grover Stewart, doing a six game suspension for PEDs. And this year they've added Raekwon Davis so they have a competent reserve.

If AR stays healthy... The Stroud vs Richardson matchup will be must-see TV.

Grover Stewart getting suspended in the middle of the season hurt the run defense.

Appreciate the content fs. Keep it up

Quick comment before I listen to the video. The title implies that the culture actually going to be a really good team when they’re probably a borderline playoff team. defense the back is not that great

Need a patreon vid where Brett just let's his inner thoughts about Indy fly.

Nfl is going to make the chiefs and swift win again. All rigged. Fake. Like wwe.

Nfl is scripted and rigged for the chiefs.
