As the Indianapolis Colts prepare to welcome in a new head coach, one of the few pieces to the staff that is already set is the defensive approach. Matt Eberflus was hired when Josh McDaniels was expected to become the new coach, but will nevertheless remain in that role and will implement a new defensive scheme.
Chris Ballard stated in his last press conference that the Colts were in fact going to be using a 4-3 base scheme and that the roster was better suited for that change going forward. Eberflus and Ballard, with that being the case, have a lot of work to do with the current roster and will rely on those players who make up that side of the ball to largely take on all new responsibilities.
