Indianapolis Colts Improve Run Defense With Simple, Fast Approach

Filed under: Colts, AFC South, NFL Playoffs

INDIANAPOLIS -- Don't over-think it, Gary Brackett will tell you.

And don't over-analyze, either.

When it comes to the well-timed improvement of the Indianapolis Colts' run defense, Brackett -- the Colts' starting middle linebacker and defensive captain -- has seen a lot of over-thinking and over-analyzing over the years, particularly this time of year.

Yes, Brackett said, the Colts' run defense has improved late in the season.

The statistics say as much. And the results do, too.

But while that has given the Colts a positive feel entering their ninth consecutive postseason appearance, Brackett said the reality is the Colts' run defense never was actually all that bad.

And whatever improvement there has been? Brackett said it comes from simple approach.
