Chris Ballard refused to bolster the secondary, and the Colts are now paying the price

We begged, and we pleaded. Fans implored Chris Ballard to do something during the offseason to address the secondary of the Indianapolis Colts. We watched a young unit have immense struggles in coverage. We watched as veteran after veteran was scooped up on the open market. Our requests fell on deaf ears as Ballard refused to budge on the issue and was content rolling into the season with last year’s roster. The players are the ones who will now pay the price of that decision as a major part of their defense is lost for the better part of the season.
