Indianapolis Colts 2022 Season Preview
As the quarterback carousel continues in Indianapolis since Andrew Luck’s stunning 2019 retirement, the Indianapolis Colts may take their best turn yet with two veteran Super Bowl quarterbacks.
Indianapolis add Matt Ryan via a trade with the Atlanta Falcons and Nick Foles in free agency. Ryan, who played in a Super Bowl for the Falcons in 2017, will start, but his backup, Foles, actually won a Super Bowl and the game’s MVP award in 2018 as a backup for the Philadelphia Eagles.
“I just think he adds good depth and now you’ve got two experienced guys,” Cols head coach Frank Reich said via The Athletic’s Bob Kravitz. “We’re incredibly fortunate.”
The Colts parted ways with quarterback Carson Wentz after ups and downs in the 2021, plus the disagreement between Wentz and the front office over not taking the COVID vaccine. Before Wentz, Philip Rivers had a solid 2020 season but retired, and Jacoby Brissett served as a stop-gap starter for the Colts in 2019 after Luck’s sudden retirement.
Ryan has plenty of talent around him to continue the Colts’ recent success in the post-Luck area. The Colts went to the playoffs with Rivers and narrowly missed it with Wentz. A big part of that success has been running back Jonathan Taylor, who looks to build on a monster 2021 season.
Indianapolis also has a strong defense again, which should help the team contend in the AFC South — one of the weaker divisions in the league. The Tennessee Titans have a tough team with running back Derrick Henry and a strong defense. After the Titans, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans have been mired in on-field and off-field struggles in recent years.
Offensive Outlook
Ryan has plenty of talent around him, starting with Taylor. While it will be challenging for Taylor to repeat his 1,811-yard, 18-touchdown season, the Ryan and company can rely on Taylor to pick up yards and score touchdowns every time out.
Wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr., Parris Campbell, and Alec Pierce can make plays. Tight end Mo Alie-Cox likewise can produce in the passing attack.
The Colts also have a solid offensive line to give Ryan time in the pocket and Taylor room to run.
Defensive Outlook
Indianapolis looks tough up front again with defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. Kwity Paye, Grover Setwart, and Yannick Ngakoue likewise can cause opposing offensive lines and quarterbacks trouble.
The Colts have solid linebackers in Bobby Okereke, Shaquille Leonard, and Zaire Franklin. Adding Stephon Gilmore to the secondary will only make the Colts stronger in the third level of the defense. That crew also includes Nick Cross, Julian Blackmon, and Brandon Facyson.
Special Teams Outlook
Indianapolis will look to Rodrigo Blankenship to come through in the kicking game, and Matt Haack to set up good field position with punting. Nyheim Hines will return punts, and Isaiah Rodgers will return kicks.
