Indianapolis Colts safety Camryn Bynum is eagerly observing the team’s ongoing quarterback competition as the <a href="https://www.buzzineintl.com/category/football/nfl/”>NFL season approaches. Alongside this, Bynum expresses strong confidence in the Colts’ defense, which recently adjusted to new coordinator Lou Anarumo’s system.
Bynum explained the competitive environment at quarterback as energizing for the team.
“I think this is a great scenario for any quarterback to be in,”
he said.
“Obviously, it’s an uncomfortable spot because you’re competing for one spot, but as a competitor, that’s what you want. You don’t want things given to you, so both quarterbacks are in there grinding, trying to earn their way to be the starter this year. Both are looking extremely well and playing well in the spring. So, I’m excited to see how it plays out, but no matter what, as a player on this defense, being able to go up against them, they’re giving us challenges. I think no matter who the team picks, and who the leadership picks at quarterback as the starter this season, I’m confident in both.”

Confidence in Defensive Strength Under New Coordinator Lou Anarumo
Bynum praised the overall talent and depth of the Colts roster, especially on defense. He highlighted how the defense is expected to change under the guidance of Anarumo, whose aggressive style is aimed at maximizing the defensive front and secondary.
“I just think we have a solid team overall,”
Bynum added.
“Just every position. You can look and see that there’s amazing players at every spot — offense and defense. And for me, I’m biased, looking at the defense I expect a lot out of us with the new DC, with coach Lou being there and just bringing the defense he’s bringing with the aggressive play-style and especially the guys up front. We got pass rushers for days, we got linebackers, our secondary is looking really good, so I just expect a lot out of us. Just the hunger I saw from every single person during OTAs and during the mandatory minicamp.”

Jaguars’ Liam Coen Details Plans for Receiver Dyami Brown
Meanwhile, Jaguars head coach Liam Coen discussed wide receiver Dyami Brown’s versatile role in Jacksonville’s offense. Coen expects Brown to make an impact across multiple areas of the field this season.
Coen said,
“You look at somebody that’s able to attack the field at all three levels. He can go down the field on the post, in the ‘go,’ in the pylons and be the top shelf, but also you can throw him a screen and he can go and do something with it. I can’t coach that. I can’t coach you to go and make three people miss after you’ve caught the ball. That’s what he can do. Hopefully, he’ll be able to help us at all three levels. He’s hungry. He’s coming off a successful end of the year. He wants to continue to do that.”
—Liam Coen, Jacksonville Jaguars Head Coach
Coen added that Brown will see increased usage in intermediate routes, expanding his role beyond deep threats and screens which he ran more frequently in college at Washington.
“You didn’t really see him work the intermediate that much [in Washington], and I think over the course of this spring, Trevor [Lawrence] and him have gained a little bit of a chemistry on some of those intermediate in-breakers, curls, maybe ‘out’ cuts,”
Coen said.
“Part of the selling point to have him come here was, ‘Man, we really want to continue to diversify your route tree and have you do more. You’re not just a screen, jet sweep, vertical threat.’”

Texans’ Derek Stingley Expects Defensive Dominance in Turnovers
On the other side of the league, Texans cornerback Derek Stingley shared his belief that the team’s defensive talent positions them to lead the NFL in interceptions by a wide margin this season.
“Going based off of last year, plus the guys we got now, we should lead in interceptions probably by at least about 10 to 15,”
Stingley told ESPN’s DJ Bien-Aime.
“I mean, we know we can get the ball. We just got to keep going to get the ball. We got some crazy people, then you got me. Everybody is different, so it all worked together.”

Implications for Colts and NFL Defensive Outlook
As the Colts prepare for the upcoming season, Bynum’s remarks underscore confidence in the revamped defense and the motivated quarterback competition driving team intensity. The presence of an aggressive defensive coordinator like Lou Anarumo promises an emphasis on pressure and turnovers, which could greatly influence the Colts’ overall success.
The evolving quarterback race adds further drama to the preseason, with strong performances in spring sessions indicating a fierce battle for the starter role. Meanwhile, developments around the league—such as the Jaguars’ expanded role for Dyami Brown and the Texans’ defensive optimism—highlight a growing trend of versatile and opportunistic defensive play.
The upcoming season may see the Colts’ defense as a key factor in their competitiveness, especially if Bynum’s confidence in teammates and coordination under Anarumo translates into game-day dominance. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how these matchups and strategic changes unfold throughout the year.
