The Indianapolis Colts hired a clever, inventive defensive coordinator to fix the glaring issues in a unit that failed to prevent opponents from having their best performance of the season.
Lou Anarumo spoke with reporters at his introductory press conference Thursday after accepting the Colts DC job on Monday. Communication has become so sophisticated in the NFL, coordinators may change play sheets and verbiage on a week-to-week basis. Anarumo has been coaching football since 1989, so he recognizes it’s important to adapt and have flexibility with his play calls. The 58-year-old is notorious for disguising blitzes with a stampede lurking at the line of scrimmage and unleashing an arsenal of unique looks to keep opposing quarterbacks off rhythm.
