If Arden Key stays healthy, I expect him to turn in 8 sacks. I hope for 12.

Chaisson and/or Oweh would've been better free agent options. Key should be a DPR, with an early down player in front of him. I think the Colts hoped that would be Tuimoloau, but he's not living up to his potential. I'm personally hoping that Caden Curry just forces his way onto the field and becomes a pleasant surprise. I know it was only preseason, but a 17.5% pressure rate and good run defense is hard to ignore. If he can do anything close to that against first teamers, the Colts will put him on the field.
