Hand up: I allowed history and hot seats to play too big a factor in my analysis of the #Colts offense. Where I was wrong and where Shane Steichen and Chris Ballard were right.. Daniel Jones, I owe you an apology. I wasn’t familiar with your game.

Charvarius Ward (concussion) and Jaylon Carlies (ankle) were both full participants in their first practice back from IR. The Sauce Mooney cornerback tandem is trending in the right direction.

Laiatu Latu has generated a 16.0% pressure rate this season, the 11th-highest mark among edge rushers with at least 150 pass rushes, per @NextGenStats. Latu’s 38 pressures leads all #Colts defenders this season. Without Latu on the field, Indy’s pressure rate drops 8.9%.

Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter listed as a candidate for the coming cycle. OL coach Tony Sparano Jr., TE coach Tom Manning, QB coach Cam Turner, and passing game coordinator Alex Tanney listed in NFL coaches to watch in future years section.

The #Colts are designating both CB Charvarius Ward Sr. (concussion) and LB Jaylon Carlies (ankle) to return from IR today, per #Colts HC Shane Steichen.

#Colts sign S George Odum, WR Eli Pancol, DE Viliami Fehoko Jr., DT Chris Wormley to practice squad, per the team. Released DE Tanoh Kpassagnon, TE Max Mang, CB Troy Pride Jr. from practice squad.

Nobody: Not even Alec Pierce’s agent: Michael Pittman Jr.:

On last Wednesday’s show, Pat McAfee said that #Colts Owner/CEO Carlie Irsay-Gordon, while in Berlin, walked into an event and promptly asked the DJ how to say, ‘let’s fucking go’ in German. She then welcomed the crowd with such before treating them to beers.

#Colts DT DeForest Buckner shared via IG that he recently traveled to Panama for regenerative stem cell treatment, presumably to address the neck injury that sent him to IR. “The Comeback is going to be Legendary ‼️” Buckner wrote. The earliest he could return is in Week 15.

Colts/Chiefs broadcast crew will be Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, and Tracy Wolfson, per @CBSSportsGang.

#Colts LB Zaire Franklin was a man on a mission in OT vs the Falcons. After a would-be 3-and-out resulted in a Falcons 1st down thanks to a phantom illegal contact penalty, Franklin establishes the tone in Indy's favor with a timely TFL. Then a sack on 3rd down to force a punt.

This but make it rookie Tyler Warren at tight end and fullback.

NEW: To truly understand why people in the Colts organization embrace Carlie Irsay-Gordon’s hands on approach to ownership, you must first understand HER. This behind-the-scenes look at her authenticity helps explains it all. https://t.co/tnWFudbaGd

Projecting Alec Pierce could potentially demand $20M/yr. #Colts would become 7th team (Bengals, Eagles, Lions, Bucs, Dolphins, Commanders) to be paying multiple WRs $20M+ annually.

The #Colts worked out several defensive linemen today: -DT Maurice Hurst -DE Shaq Lawson -DT Chris Wormley -DE Myles Cole -DT Christopher Hinton -DE Viliami Fehoko

I don't know how feasible a completion would've been, given that Daniel Jones is hyper-focused on the left side of the field plus an active pocket, but this move from Josh Downs on rookie Jalon Walker is filthy. Downs 1-on-1 vs a LB is the definition of a mismatch. #Colts

Trailing by 4 points late in the 3rd quarter, Quenton Nelson (#56) was disgusted with this failed 4th down attempt in the low red zone. Can't imagine it was solely on him, but the force behind his punch into the turf suggests otherwise. Dude just wants to win after all. #Colts

Watch Alec Pierce (#14) on Jonathan Taylor's 83-yard TD run. Such selflessness deserves a blank check. #Colts
