Colts believe in rookie Laiatu Latu despite slow start

INDIANAPOLIS -- The game was over, but the despair was just beginning for Indianapolis Colts defensive end Laiatu Latu.

In the moments following the Week 5 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Latu sat at his locker in a despondent state, his head buried in his hands, his anger and frustration growing.

"F***!" he exclaimed.

He had just finished the afternoon with six tackles, including four solo stops, and a forced fumble. But the overarching takeaway was the Colts' loss and their wretched defensive performance. Indianapolis had given up a season-high 497 yards to a previously winless team.
