Colts will be in trouble if these 4 players don’t have a good camp
1. Colts need Matt Ryan to meet expectations
This list happens to be all new additions, not intentionally, but because these are the players that really need to help Indianapolis elevate. That’s why they were brought in. None of them has more expectations entering camp than Matt Ryan.
Ryan, now 37 years old, is Indy’s fifth quarterback in as many seasons. However, he is expected to be the first to start for two consecutive years, and he’s entering the season with a lot of promise.
In the spring, Ryan arrived in Indianapolis and quickly won over his new team. He established himself as a leader, demanding the best out of himself and his teammates, and also proved that he still has amazing accuracy on the field. Both things will be necessary if the Colts are going to improve their passing game.
Unfortunately, all eyes will be on Matt Ryan from the first snap of training camp. Since Indy’s camp is open to the public, Ryan won’t have the luxury of getting familiar with his new team and system in private. Every series, play, and pass will be critically reviewed and judged.
The Colts need Ryan to show up and show out throughout camp so that the offense can roll into the season connecting on all cylinders. If Ryan struggles through camp, everyone will worry that Indianapolis is entering yet another season with quarterback uncertainty.
