EP 351: Down Goes Downs, Safety Last?

Colts Blue Zone Podcast

In this edition of the Colts Blue Zone Podcast, Dave Griffiths, Mike Chappell and Matt Adams look ahead at the team's first preseason game, discuss a significant injury concern and break down the "unofficial depth chart."

The show starts on a decidedly downbeat note, as second-year receiver Josh Downs suffers an ankle injury during 7-on-7 work at camp after a tackle from safety Nick Cross. How long could he be out? We'll explore the impact on the offense and the wide receiver room.

Conversely, what does the tackle mean for Cross and the safety position (14:25)? Why haven't the Colts done more to shore up an obvious need (20:08)?

Plus: we break down the "unofficial" depth chart ahead of Indy's first preseason game (27:05), share a few stories from Dwight Freeney's Hall of Fame induction (31:04), debate Adam Vinatieri's case for Canton (36:35) and wonder how only one Colts player landed on the NLF's Top 100 list (43:40).
