Younger and faster. Those are the words from Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard on his plan for improving the defense this offseason. Hard to argue with his own criticism on that, but has it happened yet?
We are into the second week of free agency now, and the Colts have been reasonably active, but nothing major yet. Yes, they re-signed their own in Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce, the mainstays on the offensive side of the ball. They also brought back tight ends Drew Ogletree and Mo Alie-Cox.
On defense, the safeties were the focal point over the last few days, with the additions of veteran Johnathan Owens and some youth in Juanyeh Thomas from Dallas.
