Don’t let recent moves fool you…The Colts want to win
By FS Staff
The Colts caught a lot of flack for some of the cuts they made recently. But those moves don’t mean they don’t want to win this year.
Do the colts want to win this season? An average person would quickly respond “of course”. And they would be correct. As a matter of fact, every team wants to win this season. But with the recent moves the Colts have made, such as cutting arguably their best defensive end in John Simon, as well as not making that big name signing during the offseason, some have started to wonder. The result has been harsh criticism from experts around the league, and a sense of confusion from Colts fans throughout the country. Here is what we are all forgetting… these 2018 Colts are here to play, and they got Luck back.
Now of course this roster has some holes, right now the main one lying at running back. With Robert Turbin out the first 4 games, and Mack still having yet to prove himself as a number one guy, that spot on the roster doesn’t look pretty. But Andrew Luck is back. And if Andrew Luck performs like people think he can perform, then the offense is going to be alright. That’s a fact.
From what I have gathered, as have many, is that Frank Reich wants to win. He has made that evident through numerous press conferences, and I have no reason to think otherwise. No big moves were made in the offseason, and some of the recent cuts have indicated that the Colts may be wanting to give some younger guys some experience this year. But that doesn’t mean they don’t want to make playoffs. That doesn’t mean they are going to settle.
This team has playmakers on the field. Malik Hooker showed that he was a playmaker in his limited time last year. We all know and have seen what T.Y. Hilton can do. And above all, we know what Andrew Luck can do. And if you want to think that Andrew Luck and Frank Reich are going to settle for an average season, you are mistaken.

Yes, the moves may look like management is planning for the future. That they want to win games, but not making playoffs would not lead to much anger. Even if that is the case, that mentality is not evident in this locker room. If we learned anything from last season, it’s that this team fights. These guys want it. And with a new man at the helm, and Andrew Luck back at the driver’s seat, they are certainly out there to win some ball games THIS season.
