New Colts DC Gus Bradley Provides Sneak Peek into his ‘Cover 3’ Scheme: “It’s fast, physical, and ball out”

Indianapolis Colts new defensive coordinator Gus Bradley had his introductory press conference on Wednesday, and fans of the Horseshoe now have a bit of a sneak peek of what to expect—although there were no real surprises:

“Listen, in this league, you have to be able to adjust,” Bradley said. “I think to quickly recover, to adjust, is important. But you have to have a foundation of what you stand for, and the players need to be able to feel that.”

Among that foundation and what his defenses are built upon, is what Bradley calls the ‘sweet six’: stop the run, eliminate the explosive plays, affect the quarterback, win on third down, own the red zone, and ‘it’s all about the ball’.
