S3 Ep 05: Colts sign WR Keenan Allen

The Horseshoe Hangover

Show Notes

The Colts finally made a move at wide receiver, signing veteran Keenan Allen to add some much-needed experience and proven production to a position group we've been concerned about throughout training camp. On this episode of Horseshoe Hangover, we break down what the 6-time Pro Bowler brings to Indianapolis, his familiarity with Shane Steichen, and why his elite route-running and ability to move the chains could be exactly what this offense needs. Alec Pierce brings the deep threat. Josh Downs brings the explosiveness from the slot. Now Keenan Allen brings something this WR room was seriously lacking—over a decade of NFL experience and more career catches and receiving yards than the rest of the Colts' receiver room combined. Is Allen still capable of making a major impact at 34 years old? And did Chris Ballard wait too long to address the Colts' lack of WR depth. We break it all down on Horseshoe Hangover.
