LOCKED ON COLTS 6/11/20: The most important players for Colts' 2020 season

Is the Colts' defense for real?: On today's episode, Evan is joined by Stephen Reed from Stampede Blue to go over the Colts' win in Chicago and look ahead to Cleveland. Also, stay tuned for a lot of talks surrounding Indy's No. 1 ranked defense. Is the Colts' defense for real? It sure seems that way over the last three weeks, but now this is the portion of the schedule we will truly find out. DeForest Buckner and Justin Houston have been huge keys to their early success, but don't forget about rookie safety Julian Blackmon. These three with Darius Leonard form a fearsome foursome that could rock the AFC in 2020. How has Philip Rivers been through the quarter poll of the 2020-21 season? The efficiency is there, but the points on the scoreboard have dipped a little bit. What should we expect moving forward from Rivers? We close on the Browns game. What will happen in Cleveland? This is going to be another closely contested battle with AFC positioning on the line. Learn more about your ad by Locked On Colts - Daily Podcast On The Indianapolis Colts

Five ingredients for the Colts to be a force in the AFC: On today's episode, it's time to go over what has to happen for the Colts to be a top-tier team in 2020. Five key ingredients stand out for Indy when it comes to being a 10-12 win team this season. First up, Philip Rivers. How will Rivers change this offense, and what does he have to do in order for Indy to be a force in the AFC? Could Ryan Tannehill be a similar outcome for Rivers in 2020? Don't forget about DeForest Buckner either. How will his interior pressure impact QBs like Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson? Rock Ya-Sin, Xavier Rhodes, Marlon Mack, Jonathan Taylor, and the Colts' offensive line all will be critically important to huge success. Will Ya-Sin become a top CB in the division, plus Mack/Taylor staying fresh bludgeon defenses all season long? All of this, plus so much more, as we hit on the most important keys to Indy being a national storyline all throughout 2020! Learn more about your ad choices.

Colts Positional Previews: How Rivers, RBs + WRs will fare in 2020 with IndyStar's Jim Ayello: On today's episode, IndyStar's Jim Ayello joins Evan to discuss more about the Colts' offense. More specifically at QB, RB, and WR. How will Philip Rivers fare in 2020 with Indy? Even with COVID-19, Rivers' transition should go very smooth thanks to Frank Reich and a solid offensive line. Marlon Mack and Jonathan Taylor make up a 1-1 punch, as Reich describes them, but will the rookie eventual become the starter mid-season? Jim and Evan both believe the Wisconsin product could do huge damage within this offense. Also, will Nyheim Hines be Rivers' new version of Danny Woodhead? Finally, we discuss the quartet of wideouts for Indy. Will Zach Pascal crack the rotation with more depth ahead of him? Is T.Y. Hilton poised to return to elite form with Rivers at QB? What should the expectations be for Michael Pittman Jr. and Parris Campbell? All of this, plus so much more, in a deep dive into arguabl by Locked On Colts - Daily Podcast On The Indianapolis Colts

LOCKED ON COLTS 6/6/20: Predicting biggest breakout players with IndyStar's Jim Ayello: On today's episode, IndyStar's Jim Ayello joins as we run through the gamut on potential Colts breakout players this season. Parris Campbell and Nyheim Hines will be huge impacts for a QB like Philip Rivers. Expect to see plenty of these two on quick concepts, and maybe even Hines split out more often alongside Campbell in the slot. Defensively, Bobby Okereke is gaining a ton of steam as a big breakout contender internally. Will he take Anthony Walker's starting spot? We also discuss Kemoko Turay and Rock Ya-Sin as potential players who could take the big leap in 2020-21. Why is Braden Smith flying so far under the radar? He could be in line for a Pro Bowl year on the Colts' offensive line. All of this, plus so much more, in a jam-packed episode! Learn more about your ad choices.

LOCKED ON COLTS 5/28/19: Mailbag 2.0: Thanks to all of the listeners for a great turnout with our second installment of the LOC mailbag! 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.

Colts stunned in season opener, lose 27-20 to tanking Jaguars: On today's episode, Evan Sidery is joined by Stephen Reed of Stampede Blue to give their instant reaction to the Colts' stunning 27-20 loss in Jacksonville. Not a way anyone envision Indy beginning their 2020 season. Philip Rivers had a strong debut, but two costly interceptions swung momentum in Jacksonville's favor. 10 points directly off turnovers from Rivers. Meanwhile, Indy lost Marlon Mack to a season-ending Achilles injury. A huge storyline from this game was Gardner Minshew going 19/20 completing 95% of his passes. Another inexcusable performance for Matt Eberflus' pass defense. If this continues, will Eberflus be on the hot seat? From the positive standpoint, Parris Campbell and Nyheim Hines look to be focal points of the offense alongside T.Y. Hilton.

Indianapolis Colts Positional Previews, Part III: Wide Receiver + Tight End: On today's episode, Evan and Stampede Blue's Stephen Reed preview the Indianapolis Colts' playmaking group before training camp begins later this month. What are the biggest takeaways from Indy's WR and TE corps? Led by T.Y. Hilton, Michael Pittman Jr., Parris Campbell, and Zach Pascal, the Colts' top four wideouts are very solid with a lot untapped potential. With how much Indy has been hyping up MPJ and Campbell throughout the offseason, is 2021 the year where the baton is officially passed from Hilton? Looking over the tight ends, how should we feel about Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson potentially being the Colts' TE1/2 long-term? Both complement each other so well, and are poised for big years in Jack Doyle's potential swan-song season.

LOCKED ON COLTS 6/3/19: Why the Colts are so good at drafting with Jordan Reid of The Draft Network: On today's episode, Jordan Reid of The Draft Network joins to break down the 2018 and 2019 draft classes for the Indianapolis Colts. Why is Chris Ballard already so successful at this? The foundational pieces of Quenton Nelson and Darius Leonard set the tempo. Why did both succeed as good as they did in Year 1? Also, Braden Smith was a true diamond in the rough. Ballard is a selfless individual, a rarity in today's NFL where all the GMs want to take credit for what the scouts do. This is again a reason why Indianapolis is so attractive for front office jobs. Finally, Reid analyzes the picks of Rock Ya-Sin, Ben Banogu, Parris Campbell and Bobby Okereke. Why were they so prioritized by the Colts, and how will they fit in? Hint: They will all be instant contributors, especially Ya-Sin and Campbell. We end it on how Reid views the Colts compared to the rest of the AFC. He believes Indianapo by Locked On Colts - Daily Podcast On The Indianapolis Colts

Steelers Trade Up Rumor w/Vikings for 12th Pick: Kyle Hamilton, Derek Stingley Jr, or Another Star?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. A rumor suggests the Pittsburgh Steelers could have a draft day deal in place with the Minnesota Vikings to move up to the 12th overall pick of the NFL Draft. But how much would it cost? And who could they target with it? According to Chris and Locked on Vikings host Luke Braun, it would only cost this year's first round pick, a 2022 3rd round, and a 2023 3rd round. If that happens, Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton, LSU cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., Mississippi State offensive tackle Charles Cross and Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis could all be in play for Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin to add a star player to the roster that previously was thought to be out of reach. Is this the move the Steelers need? Should they still overlook the possibility of trading up for Malik by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Steelers Trade Up vs. Trade Down Draft Day Options/Targets: Malik Willis, Kyle Hamilton, Matt Corral: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV and 93.7 The Fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers have made three NFL Draft day trades while Kevin Colbert has been GM, but will he and Mike Tomlin take that path one more time before Colbert retires? Trade up options would most likely not be teams in the top ten this season, but if players the Steelers like fall to 12-15, trading up make sense for prospects like Kyle Hamilton, Malik Willis, Jordan Davis and Derek Stingley Jr. But if that option isn't available, or all their top 20 picks are gone, the team should also look to trade back to try to get two top 40 picks in this NFL Draft class. Trading back would give the Steelers to get a good chance to get talented skill players who don't go early like Lewis Cine, Daxton Hill, Andrew Booth Jr., Trent McDuiffie, Zion Johnson or Travis J by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

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? There's ways the skill players can help mitigate the OL's struggles, especially with mobile quarterbacks. But between Pickett and Trubisky, what are the adva by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Colts trounce Jets in all three phases, 36-7: On today's episode, Stampede Blue's Stephen Reed joins to discuss the Colts' latest blowout victory. Indy destroyed the Jets in all three phases of the game, which led to one of their most impressive wins in the Frank Reich era. The defense forced three more turnovers and a safety, so is this legit moving forward? We likely won't know until after the next weeks versus Chicago and Cleveland are completed. Philip Rivers continues to be efficient and actually leads the NFL in completion percentage through three weeks. Is Indy extending Rivers' career another year or two longer? It sure seems that way right now. Michael Pittman Jr. is now out until after the Colts' bye week. What happens next with the WR depth? Expect a lot of T.Y. Hilton and Zach Pascal, but, in the meantime, please keep feeding Big Mo. Closing it out, we quickly discuss the Bears game. With rain expected, we're in store for a low-scoring slugfest.
