Someone tell me about Indianapolis D’s remaining schedule. They’ve done some respectable number in their last three games giving up a total of 39 points, 15 sacks, and 6 interceptions. They now go into a stretch with @ Ten, @ Cin, v Pit, @ Atl, v LV.
Could they be a set and forget D the rest of the way?
Colts fan, at the beginning of the year I was pretty high on our D because they looked great. The middle of the season we went through a rough patch and part of the reason for that was injuries, our starting secondary is pretty good but we have absolutely zero depth. Also, Grover Stewart (DT) was suspended and we went from giving up under 4 ypc to over 4 ypc in his absence. And finally, also sadly, we were playing Leonard quite a bit and he just isn’t the same player post injury.
Moving forward I think we get Grover back after this week, we ideally will get Brents back at CB who was playing great for a rookie until his injury. Leonard obviously is no longer playing and our other LBs are playing great. I’ve held them in multiple leagues and cautiously streamed them over the last few weeks. I do still think if we ran up against a good passing qb our secondary could get lit up but we don’t really face a good qb rest of season until stroud in week 18.
