Fixing Colts not 'instant coffee;' new GM Chris Ballard needs time

INDIANAPOLIS -- The first month on the job as the Indianapolis Colts' general manager has been a nonstop cram session for Chris Ballard.

The first-time GM has been in countless meetings with his staff and he’s watched hours of video of last year’s team, free agents and draft prospects. The goal is to get the Colts back to respectability after they missed the playoffs in each of the past two seasons following their AFC Championship Game appearance in 2014.

Based on the way Ballard talked Wednesday, you shouldn’t expect him to have a quick fix when it comes to improving the roster.
