The Indianapolis Colts are a-changin’, especially in the last few months.
Two of their biggest moves were releasing Johnathan Hankins and trading away Henry Anderson. They also did not re-sign Frank Gore, Donte Moncrief, Jon Bostic, Rashaan Melvin or Darius Butler — all players who we’ve grown accustomed to seeing start for this team. Out with the old, in with the new.
The Colts are fully focused on speed and athleticism, and they are taking scheme fit very seriously. Although Hankins was one of the best run stoppers in the league last year, he was not fast or athletic enough for this new defense.
