On the latest episode of the Locked On Colts Squad Show on the Locked On Podcast Network, hosts Derek Schultz, Allen Pinkett, Zach Hicks, and Jake Arthur discuss the latest Indianapolis Colts news following their 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Among the topics discussed on Wednesday night's show:
Veteran cornerback Xavien Howard abruptly retired on Wednesday after a rough first month on the field. Howard released a statement, citing his family and life outside of football as the main reasons for his departure.
Second-year wide receiver AD Mitchell made two critical mistakes in Sunday's loss to the Rams, leading to head coach Shane Steichen saying Mitchell would need to continue earning his role. What would be the appropriate course of action with Mitchell?
Continuing in the weekly theme of over and underreactions, how well the Colts' offensive line is performing might be understated currently, as is the performance of the defense, who ran into the buzzsaw that is Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua.
The squad also takes an early look at the Colts' matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday and how that needs to transpire.
