INDIANAPOLIS – Gone are six of the top 18 defenders from last year in terms of playing time.
A seventh, safety Clayton Geathers, will miss at least the first month and a half of the 2017 season.
Yes, the Colts’ defense looks very, very different from how that group lined up last year.
Chris Ballard chopped up that side of the ball this offseason and has infused it with a mix of free agents and draft picks.
The result?
Newness at every level of the defense for coordinator Ted Monachino.
