Film Room: A deep dive into the Colts’ 13 personnel grouping

While the Indianapolis Colts sit at 4-2 on this young season, there are still a few things this team can stand to improve upon. Most notably, the run game. The team currently sits last in the NFL with 3.6 yards per carry. These struggles are concerning and has led to some fans to criticize the Colts' uses of heavy sets, such as 13 personnel (three tight end sets).

So today we are going to do a deep dive into what this personnel grouping is that the Colts like to run so much (Colts currently have run this on 7% of their offensive plays which is the fifth highest mark in the NFL) and will see how it can be both effective and detrimental to the offense.
