1. The Biggest Question in Indianapolis; "Will Trent Richardson show up?
It's now-or-never time for Richardson and he needs to take ownership of the position. Brown is gone -- via free agency to San Diego -- but there's still competition as Ahmad Bradshaw, who has recovered from a neck injury that ended his season in Week 3, and Vick Ballard return. Bradshaw has considerable experience being a bell-cow running back, but the team would prefer if T-Rich made the role his own since they gave up a first-round pick to land him.
2. Will this new defense work out the way BGE Loki planned it to?
In one of the most controversial trades of the entire league BGE Loki traded Colts Captain Robert Mathis after he drew a suspension for testing positive for a performance enhancing drug. Mathis was shipped with Anthony Castonzo in return for Xavier Rhodes, Sharrif Floyd, and Matt Kalil. Loki didn't stop there as he also acquired other threats such as Mark Barron and LaMarcus Joyner.
Hard decisions were made in the Front Office of the Colts but they are looking towards the future and setup to have one of the most feared defenses in the league as these young players mature.
3.The Colts have a trio of young receivers who are fighting for deserved playing time.
Da'Rick Rogers came through with a huge catch in last season's epic playoff comeback win over the Chiefs, Griff Whalen continues to scrap as he pulled down 24 catches with two touchdowns and also contributed on special teams. But the real key here could be rookie Donte Moncrief, the Ole Miss receiver who the Colts grabbed with a third-round draft pick.
"In my opinion, the Colts got a steal," said Grant Heard, Moncrief's position coach at Ole Miss, to The Indy Star. "I think they got a first-round talent for a third-round draft pick."
