'Everything' being evaluated as Colts search for answers on defense
"Everything" will be evaluated in the coming days as the Colts' search for answers on defense heading into Week 2.
The Indianapolis Colts are searching for answers defensively as they prepare for Week 2, as revealed by their defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo on Tuesday via Colts.com. The Colts struggled to contain the Baltimore Ravens' offense, which averaged over 8.0 yards per play and Lamar Jackson, who was efficient and averaged 13.0 yards per play.
Derrick Henry, the Ravens' running back, rushed for 135 yards on average. The Ravens' offensive output was 506 total yards. Anarumo pointed out that several tempo plays caught the Colts off guard. Anarumo also mentioned that safety Cam Bynum may wear the green dot in Week 2, but this decision is more about whether it makes sense to have Bynum shouldering that responsibility, given his often-used position as the deep single safety.
Nickel cornerback Justin Walley had a challenging debut, allowing five receptions for 93 yards. However, Anarumo remains fully committed to Walley, according to Mike Chappell. The Colts' defense next faces the Chiefs' offense, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
