LOCKED ON COLTS 11/25/19: Jacoby Brissett is proving not to be the long term QB answer for Colts: On today's episode, Stampede Blue's Zach Hicks joins to go over the latest Colts news. From a tough loss in Houston to Eric Ebron's season-ending ankle injuries, we run through it all with our analysis. First up, this offense is letting down one of the most improved defenses in the NFL. Could the Colts have a top 5-10 defense in 2020? There's only a few missing pieces in our opinion. Moving on to more discussion of the offense, what exactly has gone wrong? Unfortunately, a lot has to do with the QB spot. Brissett missed multiple easy reads vs. Houston, which resulted in an anemic passing attack. With that being said, is it time to critically evaluate him? Absolutely. Colts GM Chris Ballard flew out to Logan, Utah on Saturday to watch 2020 QB draft prospect Jordan Love. Ballard has long been connected to Love, so this is very important.

LOCKED ON COLTS 9/2/19: 53-man roster takeaways, Brian Hoyer signs as QB2, and looking ahead to Colts vs. Chargers: On today's episode, Zach Hicks of Stampede Blue stops by to breakdown all the latest Colts news as he always does each Monday. First up, what were the big surprises as Indianapolis trimmed the roster down from 90 to 53? Really, not that much, but Hale Hentges extended the Colts' UDFA streak to 21 years after defeating Ross Travis. Also, offensive line depth remains a concern if injuries occur. Next up, what does the signing Brian Hoyer mean for the Colts' QB room? Jacoby Brissett will be the starter, but Hoyer signing for three years, $12 million indicates he's their long-term solution at QB2 over Chad Kelly. What does that mean for Swag Kelly? Likely practice squad bound over Philip Walker, unless someone else claims him first. And if you look over the other options available, Hoyer was easily their best option.

LOCKED ON COLTS 12/9/19: Following another loss, the Colts' season is officially over: On today's episode, Zach Hicks of Stampede Blue joins to go over the Colts' latest loss while also looking ahead a little bit to draft season. What went wrong in Tampa Bay? Not only did the defense plunder due to Jameis Winston torching them, but turnovers helped save an inefficient day offensively. Darius Leonard is blossoming into a superstar right before our eyes, though. Leonard's numbers through 10 games are incredible. Dare we say Leonard is on the early 2020 DPOY watch list? I would certainly say so. Finally, let's look ahead to draft season analyzing the ideal quarterback options while also looking ahead at what positions they need to address immediately.

LOCKED ON COLTS 3/23/20: Colts Cut Pierre Desir, Brian Hoyer + Best Round 2 Draft Options: On today's episode, Zach Hicks of Stampede Blue is back to help go over a lot of Colts news on your Monday. First up, why did the Colts release Pierre Desir? The veteran corner underachieved thanks to injury, but surprising nonetheless he was waived and immediately picked up by the Jets. What happens next at CB? Don't be surprised if they draft another corner in Round 2. Brian Hoyer was cut, which means Jacoby Brissett is still around at QB. What's going to happen with Brissett and that situation after Hoyer lands in New England again? Also, how will the Colts address losing Joe Haeg and Josh Andrews as valuable depth pieces as well on the offensive line? We close with some Mock Draft Monday talk on best options in Round 2.

Zach was down in Mobile, Alabama to see these prospects in-person. So, we hit on plenty including Justin Herbert and Jordan Love. Also, who are some under the radar prospects Colts fans should keep their eyes on? As we all know, Colts GM Chris Ballard loves Senior Bowl players.

Will T.Y. Hilton Return to the Colts at a Discounted Price?: On today's episode, Stampede Blue's Stephen Reed returns to go over Day 2 of NFL free agency. Once again, the Colts remained quiet outside of restricted tags given out to Zach Pascal, Mo Alie-Cox, and George Odum. Outside of that, the wide receiver market is the biggest storyline thus far. With everything moving slow, and cheaper, than expected, what does this mean for T.Y. Hilton? Marvin Jones and Emmanuel Sanders, two players in Hilton's expected tier, both signed for less than $8 million per year. Will Hilton now fall in the range, too? Evan and Stephen believe so, with a projected contract around 2-years, $15 million being the sweet spot. After Tennessee made big moves with Bud Dupree and former Colt Denico Autry, Jacksonville stepped up on Tuesday signing some names of their own. Will Jacksonville push Indy at all in the AFC South race? Closing out the show, we go over Jacoby Brissett signing with the Miami Dolphins.

Here's two top five rankings on who they're most likely to pick, with Jordan Davis and Malik Willis still at the top. Defensive line and quarterback are still major needs, but how teams pick in front of them could change their NFL Draft strategy. Other key options include Kenny Pickett, Daxton Hill, Lewis Cine, Andrew Booth Jr., Desmond Ridder, and surprisingly, Jahan Dotson.

Ranging from Twitter to r/Colts, all of your questions are answered. Many were wondering about the pursuit of Gerald McCoy. Would you be willing to go above $11 million per year for a rotational piece? McCoy would be more so a luxury, but would make the Colts' defense even more formidable. How about the skill positions on both sides of the ball? We dive deep on the WR and DB groups, and how many Indianapolis may keep on the roster. Will the Colts only keep five WRs? Chris Ballard really hasn't made much missteps yet, but which ones stand out? The 2017 draft class featuring Zach Banner and Tarrell Basham takes the cake, but he replaced them with Braden Smith and Ben Banogu so he's doing alright.

Did Steelers Address Offensive Line Enough? Or is James Daniels Ready to Lead Group to New Heights?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Pittsburgh Steelers didn't address their offensive line once in the 2022 NFL Draft after signing James Daniels and Mason Cole in free agency and bringing back Chukwuma Okorafor. But was that enough to fix the offensive line that's struggled in recent years? Between Daniels, Cole, Okorafor, Kendrick Green, Kevin Dotson, Dan Moore Jr. and J.C. Hassenhauer, the Steelers' offensive line will have a lot of work in 2022 to establish an identity. But can they become the group that opens up holes for Najee Harris and protects either Kenny Pickett or Mitch Trubisky or Mason Rudolph enough in the pocket?
