Battle Red Radio

Last season the Colts were bland. White and royal blue. Mayonnaise protrudes. Jacoby Brissett check downs and muddy scampers, an average defense, a wild Brian Hoyer appears, and a lot of rushes from heavy formations. Indianapolis held onto playoff expectations after booing Andrew Luck off the field once his retirement was leaked, and was rewarded with a banal 7-9 season. This year that changes. Philip Rivers relocated here to hoot and toot and make a ludicrous mockery of the quarterback position. And by trading for the monster truck that is DeForest Buckner, the Colts have a legitimate star defensive player who can lift up the pass rush, and make things easy for an already great linebacker group. Last season’s playoff expectations have drifted back to this season, as the Colts join the Texans and Titans to compete for the 2020 AFC South Championship. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Andrew Potter (@bighairyandy) with Football Outsiders joins the cast to discuss Philip Rivers treading the deep sandy pools
