Ladies, gentlemen, boys, and girls the NFL is back in a season where some thought it might not be possible. For the Jacksonville Jaguars that means a Week 1 matchup against their longtime foes in the Indianapolis Colts.

To help get you all prepared for Sunday’s game, we went behind enemy lines with Colts Wire editor Kevin Hickey for some intel on the Colts’ improved team. Here are five burning questions he was able to answer for Sunday’s game:

Jaguars Wire: When comparing this Colts roster to 2019’s, where were the biggest improvements made aside from the addition of Philip Rivers.

Kevin Hickey: The Colts had a busy offseason. The biggest change comes at defensive tackle where they traded their first-round pick for DeForest Buckner. They’ve been lacking a true disruptive three-technique, and Buckner provides an elite option on the inside.

The Colts also added rookie wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and running back Jonathan Taylor in the second-round of the draft. Pittman Jr. should quickly emerge as the X receiver on the boundary while Taylor will split early-down work with incumbent starter Marlon Mack.

Chris Ballard has always been able to put together good draft classes when looking at the short amount of time that he’s been with the Colts. Who were some of the standouts from the 2020 class during training camp?

The aforementioned Taylor and Pittman Jr. had solid camps. Fourth-round QB Jacob Eason also showed off some impressive arm strength.

The biggest standout actually comes in the form of another wide receiver, though. Sixth-round pick Dezmon Patmon was very impressive in camp making plays in practice and the two scrimmages at Lucas Oil Stadium. Though it seemed to be a long shot, Patmon carved out a spot on the active roster when it came time for cuts. The Colts are very excited about his progression.

Clearly, Rivers had ties to the staff in Indy and most felt he was a no-brainer for them this offseason. He’s someone who could especially help them when it comes to the Jags’ rivalry because he’s been very successful against them. How has he looked during training camp?

Accurate would be the best word to describe his camp. Rivers has been spreading the ball around to various position groups, especially the backfield. With how up and down Jacoby Brissett was in 2019, the Colts should benefit from the accuracy that Rivers brings to the offense. Is he going to dominate like in 2018? Probably not. But the Colts are hoping he can run the offense efficiently while being aided by a stout rushing attack and arguably the best offensive line in the NFL.

Who are some under-the-radar names to watch from the Colts’ roster in Sunday’s matchup?

Wide receiver Parris Campbell is the player I’m most excited to watch. The 2019 second-round pick struggled with injuries during his rookie season—he had four separate injuries and three surgeries. But he’s healthy now and his skill set is perfect for what the Colts want to do. His YAC ability should blend perfectly with Rivers as well.

Second-year cornerback Rock Ya-Sin will be a name to watch as well, especially with how often he should be lining up against DJ Chark.

Final score, prediction?

As much as I like some of the pieces in Jacksonville, this should be an easy win for the Colts. They can control the trenches and with an improved offense, they should be able to score plenty against the questionable Jaguars defense. I’ve got the Colts handling it pretty easily on Sunday, 26-17.
