What's the biggest surprise so far this season for the colts?

[Stephen]

The biggest surprise to me so far is that we seem to be playing much better on the road. Infact we don't don't even look like the same team that lost to the dolphins.

[Kenny]

Our rushing attack.

[chad72]

Our defense is the biggest surprise so far, pass coverage mainly. I hope it continues vs the Seahawks.

 

To be honest, Tannehill with Wallace and Hartline gave us ample issues. Kaepernick, if he had Vernon Davis healthy, things would probably have been a tad different, maybe, maybe not.

 

Our pass D will face a bigger test than with the Dolphins because we have to sell out to defend the run vs that O-line if all their starters are in and healthy. Hopefully, all the OL starters of the Seahawks are not back yet.

[Gavin]

Ability to stop the rushing game(minus the backyard football Pryor stuff). Manusky realizing OH HEYYYYY I got physical press Corners I forgot. Castonzo handling Aldon and Justin Smith very well

Getting blowouts

I think we would have beat the dolphins if we played press coverage instead of playing 5 yards off receivers.

The biggest surprise without question has to be how good the offensive line is playing.  Especially with Donald Thomas being hurt.  They are far from playing perfect but far batter than anyone could have anticipated.

[AntonMcG]

How complete our team has been.

This. ^

 

I knew that we'd make more of an effort to run the ball, but 149 rushing yards/game?  Outstanding.  The team has bought into the aspect of having a balanced offense.  I think we're at a 52/48 pass/run mix.

[BPM_Colt]

Has to be the running game.. I know all we heard is that we would be a power running team, but I didn't think that would happen at all. Where we are sitting now statistically is surprising to me

[BlueShoe]

We started running the ball well at the end of 2012 so that does not surprise me.

 

The Defense playing this well so early on has impressed me.

[ColtsBTM12]

DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE

[NewEra]

The d getting better and better every game has been a happy surprise!

[Stoney]

Lets see... the running game, the Defense as a whole, Pep Hamilton looking like he is really gonna work out as OC for us... gotta be one of the quickest turnaround for a previous 2 -14 team that i have ever seen considering the major rebuild that we did to our entire roster and staff. Honestly the only thing in our way of the Superbowl this year is our old idol.

[Andy]

Having a top 10 defense thus far in most major statistical categories and holding opponents to a total of 51 points through 4 games.

 

Going to San Fran and dominating the Niners is also a surprise.

[MFT5]

Our D is playing just like those good LATE 2000 raven defenses ... Meaning

Not so much as blitzing but staying fundamentally sound while knowing offenses get paid to play too.

But at the end of the game you look up at the scoreboard and we have held you to less than 20 (Acceptable Amount)

I see a team that's going to get better as the season goes along on O & D

"It's a marathon not a sprint"

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

Dat Mathis stack stat line.

[GoColts8818]

That we can run the ball.

[Tark The Shark]

So far, my biggest surprise for the team was the Richardson trade.

 

I expected a good defense and a good offense, we started shaky in the first couple games but we seem to be gelling at the right time when Seattle, Denver, Houston come next on the schedule.

 

Bringing in Richardson for a 1st round pick that looks like a late one, if we continue, looks like a steal of a trade and made teams respect our running game.

[Bird dog]

The injury list!

[atapcl]

1. Richardson trade.

2. Delano Howell move at S.

3. Depth Grigson has brought in.

2..

That we lost at home to Miami....which will end up at .500

That we beat SF, which will be in the NFC championship game

we still aren't a power running team...don't kid yourself

stats after 4 games are meaningless

[coltsfanatic24]

Biggest surprise so far is that McGlynn is good at C and the o-line plays better without Satele.

[Kenny]

Well then we can add that Satele is back as a(Not so very) surprise .

[braveheartcolt]

Luck not throwing 8 TD passes in one game yet.

[BPM_Colt]

Yeah I know that, I still don't see as a power running team

 

That's why it has been the biggest surprise to me at this point in the season
