We can officially remove the question mark from our prior post regarding whether the Colts have fired defensive coordinator Ron Meeks.

We can now report that they have.

And thus Meeks is the second of three coordinators to exit the team in less than a week after Jim Caldwell succeeded Tony Dungy.

So much for continuity.

this sucks. last week they fired their pathetic special teams coach and now fire an average D coordinator.

. They could improve now

Very surprising indeed. I'm not about to rip their ST coach and DC given the limited player resources they get.

That was the OL coach, Howard Mudd.

Is he really to blame? I mean what can you do if the weak link on your team are our DEFENSIVE TACKLES? Really-poor DTs = opposition is able to gash the middle with their run games = long drives sustained = your D gets tired = your offense stays off the field for long stretches. You saw that time and time and time again with this Indy D.

Finally is all I can say.

Our D year after year is inconsistent, vanilla and has poor tackling.
No more fire Meeks threads on Colts forums I guess.

Guess Caldwell unlike Dungy is not going to just do what we do and make excuses. Caldwell says he wants to beef up the D line and tweak things.

People have to admit beating our D was easy, dink and dunk them to death and run and keep Peyton on the bench for long drives.

I expect a defensive heavy draft with possibly some bigger guys drafted at DT and LB.

This is true but this year it was very bad for us on third down. All year you saw teams convert third and long by PASSING which was frustrating to see.

I got heavily frustrated when I heard Dungy say after the playoff loss that he was not too concerned about third down.
