It is no secret that the Colts pass rush was abhorrent last season, even despite having talented players like DeForest Buckner, Kwity Paye, and Grover Stewart, the front just never managed to get consistent pressure going, and there were several times against top quarterbacks (Lamar Jackson, Tom Brady) that the pass rush just seemed to disappear. This inability to pressure and disrupt opposing passing games meant that the Colts’ defense as a whole never managed to truly take the next step, and allowed several big comebacks when it was obvious the opponent was in passing situations. This is a story that repeated itself several times over the past couple seasons, the pass rush coming alive against mediocre opposition before collapsing against top notch quarterbacks.
