Colts: Putting the Hoosier Back into the Circle City Defense.
Defense: Overview
Our defense is predicated on having corner backs and safeties with above average speed, good Zone Defense and Bump n Run Defense Bars, and strong Endurance bars. We don't play the four deep zone, ever, and you can get away with some misfit toys at both positions. The aim for our defense is more about interceptions from the defensive backs, and less about sacks from the d line.
I ask our d line to be strong with good endurance, and stop the run.
Corner backs
Roster Strength chart ingame puts us as the sixth worst position group in the FFL. Dang. That means two rookies could start at left and right cornerback for us this coming season.
Safeties
Both nine year vets are solid, and this Position Group lands as the second best in the league. But two nine year veterans without any young prospects on the roster exposes us with a depth problem.
Defensive Line
The Defensive Ends are the fifth worst in the league. Punishing Hitters are non existent. That's a tuffy.
Defensive Tackles are the sixth worst in the league. Dillon is a four year restricted free agent we'll be signing. He has the Run Defense and Endurance we could use, and decent Punishing Hitter. He's not what I consider starting material, but for now, he'll do.
Linebackers
Both Inside and Outside Linebacker groups hover in the top half of the league ratings. At least we can survive with these guys.
Look for the Colts to be looking long and hard at defensive backs in this draft.
