The first preseason game is in the books, and we've got plenty to talk about. Anthony Richardson showed some of the same old concerns but ultimately found a way and clearly separated himself from Riley Leonard in the QB battle. We break down the good, the bad, and what still worries us at quarterback.

We also discuss the continued concerns at wide receiver, Will Mallory's big night, and why nobody behind the Colts' top receivers seized the opportunity. Defensively, young players like Caden Curry, George Gumbs, and Bryce Boettcher made some noise, while Jaylahn Tuimoloau had a night to forget. Plus, Spencer Schrader makes his move in a kicker battle that could go down to the wire.

It's our full Horseshoe Hangover Colts preseason reaction—who raised their stock, who hurt it, and what has us concerned as we move close to the regular season.

The Colts are kicking off the preseason against the New England Patriots, and while the final score doesn't matter, there's plenty to watch.

On this episode of Horseshoe Hangover, we break down what we want to see in Preseason Game 1, starting with the QB2 battle and whether anyone can establish themselves as a reliable option behind the starter. We also dive into the wide receiver competition, which players can separate themselves from the pack, and who could be fighting for a roster spot.

On the defensive side, we're watching the pass rush to see who can consistently create pressure and make some noise off the edge. And don't forget the kicker battle—because every opportunity matters when you're competing for one job.

It's our Colts vs. Patriots preseason preview and everything we're watching when Indy finally takes the field.

Give us a listen and get your Colts football fix with Horseshoe Hangover!

This week on Horseshoe Hangover, we take a hard look at one of the biggest concerns facing the Colts: depth at quarterback and wide receiver, especially with injuries piling up.

At quarterback, the Colts' depth behind Daniel Jones raises serious questions. We break down what Anthony Richardson and Riley Leonard are showing in camp and why neither has provided much confidence as a reliable option if Jones misses significant time.

We also dive into the wide receiver room and how injuries are putting additional pressure on the Colts' depth. Losing key pieces can quickly expose the difference between having a deep position group and simply having enough bodies to get through camp.

With the season approaching, the Colts can't afford for injuries to turn these positions into major weaknesses.

What's up, Colts Nation, and welcome back to Horseshoe Hangover! Training camp is officially underway, and after the first week, we've finally got real Colts football to talk about. Veterans and rookies alike are already making an impact, with position battles heating up and plenty of players turning heads early in camp.

Whether you're looking for the biggest takeaways, standout performances, or the latest storylines from Westfield, we've got you covered. So sit back, give us a listen, and get your fill of Colts football. Let's dive in!
