Colts’ Lou Anarumo could be first out if defense fails to improve

SB Nation

The writer asks whether Colts defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo could be the first staff member dismissed if Indianapolis’ defense fails to improve, but reports no decision or planned change. The Houston game is described as a “must win.”

The writer says Indianapolis added defensive backs Bynum, Ward and Gardner and used Day 2 draft picks on Walley and Haulcey to support Anarumo’s flexible scheme. The piece criticizes third-down zone coverage and tackling, and notes linebacker C.J. Allen has played six snaps in the first two games.

The writer says Houston ranks ninth in yards per game at 377 and has won the last five meetings with Indianapolis. The piece does not name a possible replacement for Anarumo.
