The Colts are making a change to their defensive operations after getting blown out by the Ravens in Week 1.
Head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday, via multiple reporters, that linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither will wear the helmet transmitter and relay defensive calls to the rest of the unit this week. Safety Cam Bynum wore the green dot for the Ravens game.
The move comes a day after defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo said that the team was considering a change because of a number of communications breakdowns that helped the Ravens roll up 506 yards of offense in a 41-13 win. Davis-Gaither will be lined up in a more central spot on defense while Bynum was playing deeper in the secondary.
The Colts will put the new system to the test in Kansas City on Sunday night.
