Historically Worst?

Before Colts fans get riled up by this post - you won the super bowl last year, so relax. So the Colts last year has a historically bad run defense, and we know that they magically ratcheted up their level of play in the playoffs to the point where they really shut down the chiefs and ravens (patriots not so much). So, I guess it's fair to contend that that their very poor run defense during the season didn't matter. Still, it's not something I'd be excited about, and I would sure as hell want it fixed. Only it doesn't look like it'll be fixed, it looks like it'll be worse. You never know how players will gel and how a defense will play together, but let's think about what happened to some of the Colts run-stoppers. Cato June = gone. Corey Simon = released. Booger McFarland = out for the year. Hmm......smells like a miserable defense to me. What I really hope happen is that the colts are forced to put 8 in the box and their secondary really gets torched (Nick Harper gone, Bob Sanders on the PUP list). It could be a real joy to watch jacksonville play them again as Fred Taylor, MJD and Greg Jones waltz into the end zone untouched all day. Maybe Dwight Freeney and his 72 million can stop the run......oh wait Freeney has never been good against the run in the first place.

Let's See : New Orleans, Jax (twice), New England, Denver, San Diego, Baltimore, Atlanta, Kansas City etc. Sounds like a whole boatload of rushing yards. I can't even conceptualize what LT will do to that pathetic run defense of the Colts, 300 yards is not out of the question. For the Colts to get to 12-13 wins again their offense is going to have to be better than ever. That is all.
