June 20, 2019 04:10 - 54 minutes - 124 MBOccasionally, times change for all of us where we must end one phase of our lives and fully gear ourselves to either another chapter, or the rest of what exists in our day to day lives.

Today, Matt will be giving his outlook on the 2019 season for the AFC South and give a brief prediction on how the ...

Colts Cast: Colts touting a top-3 offense in 2019?; Derek Ciapala interviews Matt Danely
May 09, 2019 04:13 - 43 minutes - 100 MBIt appears that we've hit the dreaded dead zone in the NFL schedule. The Colts have held their rookie mini camp, and there are additional activities in the offseason period where we'll have some substance, but we're closing in quickly on the quietest part of the year. On today's show, Matt Danely will discuss some of the Indianapolis Colts' latest news including a recent story from Chris Wesseling where he's ranked/graded what he defines as the league's top-10 offenses for the 2019 season. M...
Colts Cast: Discussing secondary post-draft with Zach Hicks
May 02, 2019 02:42 - 48 minutes - 112 MBAs we know the Indianapolis Colts went heavy on the defense in the 2019 NFL Draft. Today Stampede Blue's own Zach Hick joins Matt Danely to discuss the secondary in particular, and how the group looks post-draft for the 2019 season. The drafting of Rock Ya-Sin, Marvell Tell, and Khari Willis will add to a very intriguing secondary that needed to improve on some very key aspects of their collective game. While the group were stingy in terms of giving up big plays to opposing offenses in 2018, ...

May 01, 2019 01:59 - 43 minutes - 101 MBThe Indianapolis Colts have boosted their roster after hauling in 10 picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. Chris Ballard looks to have made the most out of an interesting set of prospects, and has focused on getting the team real depth and is working towards evening each side of the ball. Today Stephen Holder, of The Athletic, is back with another show to discuss why there's even more reason for optimism with the team heading into the 2019 season after this haul. Here's a brief rundown of today's topi...
Colts Cast: Colts' 2019 draft class recap; AFC South opponent's draft classes revisited
April 29, 2019 14:21 - 36 minutes - 83.8 MBThe Indianapolis Colts didn't make their first round selection to open up the 2019 NFL Draft, but they sure did make a ton of selections afterwards. In all the Colts made 10 picks, several via simple trade of picks, one to trade away Hassan Ridgeway, of which 7 were made on the defensive side of the ball. Chris Ballard showed us what he values most through the draft process as a result. He LOVES him some athletes, Senior Bowl performances, and that he's searching out high-character talents wh...
Colts Cast: Colts trade out of first round; What's left early in round 2?; First round recap
April 26, 2019 04:50 - 27 minutes - 64.1 MBThe Indianapolis Colts came into the first round with a pick slotted at No. 26, and left Thursday night without using it. Day 1 of the 2019 NFL Draft came with a few surprises, but the Colts trading back wasn't really one of them. On the other hand, the discussion of whether or not Chris Ballard received enough compensation for that No. 26 overall selection is worth having. Additionally, we saw the opposition in the AFC South improve, especially defensively, and the Colts still have the No. ...
Colts Cast: Discussing Zach Hicks' Top-200 big board, Colts fits through sweet spot of 2019 NFL Draft
April 24, 2019 04:09 - 59 minutes - 137 MBThe 2019 NFL Draft is just hours away from kicking off in Nashville as we speak.

Colts Cast: Analyzing Colts 2019 schedule reveal; Colts go bold in SB Nation mock draft
April 18, 2019 04:52 - 43 minutes - 98.6 MBIf there was a draft in which the Indianapolis Colts were to really need another successful pull, this is it. The Colts sit at No. 26 -- at the moment -- and while they may not be in line for a top-10 talent, there is certainly some great options at the bottom of the first round. Today, we'll take a look at the SB Nation mock draft which incorporates a representative from each of the NFL sites tasked with making their team's selection. Our own Brett Mock takes his shot on the talent that he ...
Colts Cast: Monday Mock Draft review; Latest Colts news; Colts largest needs
April 16, 2019 05:02 - 35 minutes - 81.8 MBToday we dig back in to the Indianapolis Colts' approach to the 2019 NFL Draft. With less than two weeks to pass before we see Chris Ballard's third pull as GM, there are still very differing views on where the team will go with their first selection. Looking around at the litany of mock drafts from various analysts (via Colts.com) we see so many going in one particular direction. However, this specific position doesn't seem to fit Ballard's approach. On the other hand, perhaps the second-mos...

The Stable: Justin Houston, Clayton Geathers, and FA Impact on the Draft
March 22, 2019 23:05 - 36 minutes - 49.8 MBFree Agency is starting to wind down as most of the top targets are off the board. However, the Colts are just heating up. This is Ballards favorite time to start getting aggressive as he believes he can find some diamonds in the rough or proven veterans on good deals. This year the diamond in the rough might be Devin Funchess. The proven veteran ? Well we just got our answer. The Colts went out and signed Justin Houston from the Kansas City Chiefs to a 24 million dollar deal over two years. ...
The Stable: How to feel about free agency
March 16, 2019 11:02 - 38 minutes - 53.6 MBEvery year the week before free agency people begin to make their wishlist. They want every 5 star player to come join the Colts and at discounted prices. This year the big names were Trey Flowers, Landon Collins and Le’Veon Bell. Although Ballard has preached that he does not like free agency, our 100 million dollars of cap space was too enticing not to dream about. As you might expect, like normal the Colts did not go out and make the splashy signings. Instead they remained as quiet as a mo...
Colts Cast: Colts largely quiet to start free agency; Who'd they miss, and intriguing available options
March 14, 2019 03:45 - 45 minutes - 105 MBChris Ballard and the Indianapolis Colts could not be more different than the days of the previous regime. For some fans it's too drastic of a flip in philosophy. For others, preaching patience to an eager fanbase becomes a common retort to those on the other side of the fence. `Once again, the Colts have largely been quiet in the early stages of free agency. They've re-signed Chris Milton, signed Pierre Desir to a 3-year deal, and though it hasn't been officialized by the team to this point,...

Colts Cast: Rookie UDFA year in review with Colts' safety George Odum
March 08, 2019 00:03 - 45 minutes - 105 MBThe 2018 season was filled with rookie contribution for the Indianapolis Colts. Most will attribute that to the draft picks, but there were plenty of UDFA assistance to a surprisingly successful year for the Colts as well. Today, Zach Hicks joins Matt Danely as they talk to Colts' safety, and UDFA George Odum. Odum was part of an everchanging roster, and safety position for the Colts in 2018. We saw T.J. Green shown the door, and Matthias Farley lose out on most of the season due to injury. ...

Colts Cast: Looking to the NFL Draft with Zach Hicks | Receivers
March 01, 2019 05:01 - 48 minutes - 111 MBThe Indianapolis Colts are preparing for a critical point in their roster rebuild and the 2019 NFL Draft may be the most important of Chris Ballard's time in Indy to this point. Today we continue our look at the team's needs heading into the offseason, and now we move on to the receiver class. This class of pass catchers is extremely fun and interesting to talk about. The class offers a deep field, with the potential for some of them to really break out at the next level, but at the current t...
Colts Cast: Looking to the NFL Draft with Zach Hicks | Cornerbacks
February 26, 2019 04:55 - 40 minutes - 93.2 MBWe continue to take a look ahead at the 2019 NFL Draft class as the Indianapolis Colts await Chris Ballard's third pull as the team's GM.

Colts Cast: Looking to the NFL Draft with Zach Hicks | Safeties
February 22, 2019 19:33 - 37 minutes - 85.5 MBThe Indianapolis Colts are just like every other team in the NFL at the moment as the NFL Combine is just a week away. Though the NFL Draft is a couple months out, we're going to start looking at this class in preparation for this pivotal offseason for the Colts. The Indianapolis Colts have several needs that they'll hope to address this offseason, and it seems as though they should be able to cover several of them between free agency and the draft given that they have a ton of money to use, ...
Colts Cast: Positional review heading into the offseason | Safety
February 15, 2019 15:38 - 33 minutes - 77.6 MBToday we finish up with our look at the Indianapolis Colts position by position review with the safety corps as they head into this pivotal offseason. With the safety group bringing up the caboose in this series, it also happens to be one of the most interesting of all of the units on the roster. The Colts have several in-house free agents, including Clayton Geathers and Matthias Farley, as well as some of the team's depth pieces from the 2018 season. The Colts have a decent tertiary group ...
Colts Cast: Positional review heading into the offseason | Cornerbacks
February 12, 2019 05:18 - 26 minutes - 60.5 MBWe're finishing up our positional reviews for the Indianapolis Colts heading into this pivotal offseason, and today we hit on the team's cornerbacks. This could be one of the positions in which we see the most action at for the Colts. Chris Ballard knows that he needs a true No. 1 at cornerback, but there's little doubt that he also likes the youth that the team has with possible starters, as well as depth. Kenny Moore was one of the brightest spots among the corners, but they felt as though ...
Colts Cast: Positional review heading into the offseason | Linebackers
February 10, 2019 18:30 - 31 minutes - 72.8 MBAs we continue into the Indianapolis Colts pivotal offseason, we move into the team's linebacker corps to see where the position stands for the 2019 season. The unit showed a massive improvement this past season with the addition of All-Pro rookie Darius Leonard, some great improvement out of Anthony Walker, as well as a couple other rookie additions in Matthew Adams and Zaire Franklin. With some initial leadership assistance from Najee Goode, the unit went from one of the worst positions in ...
Colts Cast: Positional review heading into the offseason | Defensive Line
February 08, 2019 05:33 - 32 minutes - 75 MBAs we continue with our outlook on the Indianapolis Colts roster heading into the offseason, we now jump over to the defensive side of the ball. The Colts' defense definitely turned some heads in 2018 despite a first-year defensive coordinator and so many young pieces contributing throughout the year. Today we focus on the defensive line, a group that had some great performances this year, but also needs an infusion of talent just the same. Margus Hunt and Jihad Ward, two guys at opposite en...
Colts Cast: Positional review heading into the offseason | O-Line
February 06, 2019 14:27 - 29 minutes - 66.6 MBToday we continue on with our positional outlook for the Indianapolis Colts as they head into a pivotal offseason under Chris Ballard and Frank Reich. We've gone through the receivers, quarterbacks, running backs and tight ends, and now we need to look at one of the position groups that achieved great things for the offense somewhat unexpectedly. Going into the season, everyone was excited about the prospects of rookie Quenton Nelson, but most fans and analysts weren't very high on the right ...
Colts Cast: Positional review heading into the offseason | Receivers
February 01, 2019 04:39 - 27 minutes - 62.7 MBAs we continue into the Indianapolis Colts positional review as the team heads into a pivotal offseason, we come to the receiving corps today. The Colts' WR bunch is one of the most interesting positional groups throughout the roster. They've got some young talent that they will be hoping to develop, but they also have many questions that need answered before they consider any options from around the league. Several of those receivers from the 2018 roster are set to be free agents when the le...

We've talked about their quarterback and running back situations already, and now we're on to the tight ends. The Colts currently have 4 tight ends set to be rostered for next season, and with the current combination of youth and experience at the position, it will be a group that presents some serious depth.
