The Indianapolis Colts are just hours away from kicking off their 2019 season against the Los Angeles Chargers. While our projections for the Colts' season were sky high with Andrew Luck, common sense tells us that most fans have a much softer approach to guessing the team's record now that Jacoby Brissett is considered to be the franchise quarterback. On today's show, Jim Campbell, from Stampede Radio, joins Matt Danely in taking a realistic stab at projecting the first quarter of the Colts season for 2019. The Colts obviously face off against the Chargers in Week 1, divisional foe Tennessee Titans in Week 2, the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3, and wrap up the first four games at home against the Oakland Raiders.  Additionally, Matt and Jim go through the Colts' roster to pick out one player who they see as a guy who could take a leap so to speak this season and really show out for the team, and they also go the other way in attempting to identify a player who may slip this year for one reason or another. Having not seen the team in a real game to this point, projecting all of this is a bit of a shot in the dark, but you might be surprised by Matt and Jim's expectations regardless of who is under center this year.

The Indianapolis Colts are headed into Week 1 and with the 53-man roster cutdowns came a ton of Colts news these past few days. First and foremost, the roster cutdown. While there weren't any real surprises, there were still a couple moves that came as a result of some shuffling. The Colts needed to add a quarterback as Chad Kelly was set to hit his suspension for the first two weeks of the regular season, and it was again a veteran guy brought in who has some familiarity with Brissett himself. Along with the initial roster construction for the season, each position has some unique players, solid rotational benefits and some possible game-changers that we'll discuss on today's show. We'll also take a quick look at the Colts first unofficial depth chart for the season. Additionally, Brissett who is now standing atop the Colts depth chart at QB, was given a new deal and with that come great expectations. Was his payday an issue? Well, it was to some, but we'll discuss why it shouldn't be.  Speaking of Brissett, which we did quite a bit of on today's Colts Cast, we'll go through how he can improve on his 2017 season, what he's already shown in that respect, and how this system can benefit his play as well as give him some of the natural transition to becoming a more in-depth quarterback in all phases. There is plenty for him to improve on from that 2017 season, but these two situations are not the same, and Frank Reich will do everything he can to get Brissett ready.  How will his approach change in terms of his reads, his aggression, his ability to read the defenses pre-snap, and how can he manipulate the defenses as the play progresses? All that and much more on today's Colts Cast with Matt Danely. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

As the Indianapolis Colts final preseason game of 2019 looms closer, the team's roster is beginning to get a little bit of clarity. Most of the positions largely are clear in who the starters will be, and immediate backups appear to be set as well. Where the questions come in to play, each and every year, is who will be primarily a special teamer? Who has done enough to make this roster without a heavy special teams presence? And, which position can pull that extra player as a result of the first two questions. Today, Matt Danely goes through each of the positions on both sides of the ball, puts his roster prediction together, but leaves that ever elusive 53rd man slot on the roster open for discussion.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Finally, They spend a few minutes sharing their own reactions to hearing about Luck's retirement, and give some reason for hopefulness as they, like most of Colts nation, attempt to move on now that the Andrew Luck era in Indianapolis has ended.

The Indianapolis Colts have now met another large preseason roadblock with the recent news of Andrew Luck announcing his retirement. However, the Colts have a lot going for them as the roster itself is in much better shape than it has been in recent years. Jacoby Brissett has now been thrust into the starter role as he's desired since getting the bulk of the starts in 2017.  The Colts hosted the Chicago Bears on Saturday night and there was a lot to be excited about on both sides of the ball. The Colts lost 27-17, but that's not really what we're talking about here. With Chad Kelly getting more snaps, and making them count quite a bit now that the backup QB role is there for the taking, we'll discuss his performance, how he has appeared to acquired some instant chemistry with Deon Cain, and how the perspective on him has vastly altered since his initial signing. We also discuss the team's defensive improvements and which positions have benefited the most as the team prepares for the 2019 season.  Learn more about your ad choices.

There is so much to say about what Andrew Luck has done for the Indianapolis Colts and their fanbase. None of us expected to be talking about THIS today though. In a decision that not only had people checking, and double checking to determine the accuracy of an Adam Schefter tweet, but maybe it was somehow a fake account, or maybe he'd been hacked,  Unfortunately, it's accuracy was soon verified and Andrew Luck gave an impromptu press conference following the Colts' third preseason game to acknowledge that he had indeed decided to retire from the NFL after nagging injuries had built up, and the process of pain, rehab and then more pain and rehab had soured his love for the process.
