Colts Defensive Coordinator Ted Monachino: ‘I’m a Pressure Guy’

The Indianapolis Colts coaching staff spoke to the media on Tuesday, and new defensive coordinator Ted Monachino is planning for pressure:

“I’m a pressure guy,” Monachino said. “I think the best pass defense is a good pass rush. That’s where we’re going to begin in this system. But there’s enough variety that you’re not going to know who it is and from where they’re coming.”

While the Colts don’t have the pass rushing horses of yesteryear such as Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney in their primes, Monachino still has a veteran savvy version of the former and another proven pass rushing veteran Trent Cole at his disposal.
