The Indianapolis Colts were one of the more effective teams last year at generating quarterback pressures off of blitzes.
According to PFF, the Colts' 44.7% pressure rate on blitzes was the fifth-highest mark in the NFL during the 2024 season. At the top of the list were the Green Bay Packers with a 48.3% pressure rate.
The issue, in this regard, is that former defensive coordinator Gus Bradley didn't blitz all that often. The Colts' blitz rate last season of 17.5% ranked 30th.
Given that Indianapolis ranked 22nd in pressure rate, 26th in sacks, and was often picked apart by the quick passing game, dialing up more pressures wouldn't have been a bad thing.
