Going back to basics is something that every team should do when they are struggling. They need to go back to what they do well. For the Colts, that’s running the ball and controlling the clock. They need to do that more and better if they want to win games.
It starts with the offensive line. The line has to get downhill and engage blockers for longer periods of time. They have to let the backs see the open holes in the defense so they can hit them hard. That moves the chains and keeps the opposing offense on the sidelines.
