INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Ted Monachino can already sense the pressure building outside the locker room.Fans are weary of seeing the same old problems from a defense that has been unable to stop the run, chase down quarterbacks or get off the field consistently.So Monachino has changed things up. His solution is to be more aggressive and creative with play calls -- a philosophy that could give the Colts a whole new look.We have to manufacture some pass rush by bringing them from different areas, Monachino said Wednesday. We cant just line up and say our four are better than your five and we will get home. Weve got to create some looks and some things that confuse protections and break down some of the organization of the offense.Its about time.For four seasons, coach Chuck Pagano has preached about the need to build a championship defense, and general manager Ryan Grigson went all in on finding help in free agency.The problem was, it didnt work, largely because the Colts have struggled to find a second consistent pass-rushing threat opposite Robert Mathis.While the 2013 NFL sacks champion remains one of the leagues most feared pass-rushers and at age 35 has shown no indication of slowing down, the Colts still need someone else who can put pressure on opposing quarterbacks.The numbers tell the tale.Despite missing the 2014 season with a league-imposed suspension and a torn Achilles tendon, Mathis 34+ sacks remain a team high and account for 23 percent of the Colts total from 2012-15. None of Mathis teammates recorded more than 12 sacks during that same span.So they brought in Monachino to find a solution.Were going to play aggressively and if we handle the run, well put ourselves in position to pin our ears back and rush the quarterback, inside linebacker DQwell Jackson said. We have guys like Rob, whose proven he can get after it, and its up to the linebackers as well.Just dont make any judgments based on what the Colts do Saturday night against Philadelphia.While Pagano said earlier this week that hes likely to play the healthy starters into the third quarter, Monachino will be dealing with a young, makeshift lineup.Mathis is expected to sit out his third straight preseason game.Indys starting cornerbacks, Vontae Davis (ankle) and Patrick Robinson (groin) and backups Jalil Brown (knee) and DJoun Smith (ankle) have already been ruled out. The injury-filled secondary is so depleted Pagano even joked about moving safeties Mike Adams and T.J. Green outside.Defensive tackle Henry Anderson was activated from the physically unable to perform list this week and cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who signed Monday, are not expected to play.With so many guys out, where will the pass rush come from?Indy is hoping this years draft picks -- Green, defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway, inside linebacker Antonio Morrison and outside linebacker Trevor Bates -- will take advantage of their opportunity to prove they are part of the solution.Even if the Colts are playing it close to the vest.Its hard to say right now because its only the preseason and we cant show you or tell you everything weve got, Adams said. But you got to have a plan and well have something for everybody.Monachino isnt dropping many hints. But the key to improving, he believes, has more to do with putting players in position to get after the quarterback rather than relying on one or two.I think we have just the men for the job in the front end and in the back end, he said. Am I completely satisfied with where we are? Absolutely not, just because we are still giving up yards that we shouldnt. Am I pleased with the group of guys and their work and attention to detail? Absolutely.Game notes Pagano opened Thursdays news conference by offering support to the victims of Wednesdays tornadoes in Indiana.

LAS VEGAS -- Longtime baseball agent Jeff Borris and labor lawyer Lucas Middlebrook are spearheading an effort to unionize UFC athletes through the formation of the Professional Fighters Association (PFA).The group will hold a news conference Thursday at the MGM Grand in advance of Saturdays highly anticipated rematch between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz at UFC 202.Borris, who has represented more than 500 professional baseball players, told ESPN.com that the unionization of UFC fighters is long overdue.The UFC is on the same plane as MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL -- their employees should be unionized in order to protect and safeguard their fights, Borris told ESPN.com. Every single athlete who is under contract with the UFC is currently being taken advantage of. From the guy who is fighting for $10,000 to show and $10,000 to win, all the way to the very top. Every single one of them.The UFC declined to comment on the PFA through a spokesperson. While the PFA is not the first group to advocate fighter rights, it is arguably the most aggressive effort to date to see fighters unionize.Borris intends to spend approximately six months getting in front of as many athletes as I can.According to Middlebrook, the group needs to collect authorization cards from 30 percent of the UFCs roster, which features roughly 600 total athletes. The PFA expects the UFC to challenge its fighters right to unionize on the basis that they are independent contractors rather than full-time employees. Should the National Labor Relations Board deem UFC fighters employees, the process would then move on to an election phase.In order for a union to be recognized, Borris would require support from a simple majority of the workforce. He has promised to only move forward with the PFA, however, if the support is far more overwhelming than a simple majority.One challenge Borris specifically mentioned is helping athletes overcome a fear of retribution from the UFC should they support the union.Ill use the round number of 600 total athletes -- Im not going to go to war with these guys if only 301 of them vote me in to be the executive director, Borris said. That would show there are fragmented groups within the whole. So far, after talking to the fighters I have spoken with, I dont notice any fragmentation whatsoever. They all stand united.I think the success from the baseball unions perspective has been the brotherhood that exists, and thats what I would need to go to bat against the UFFC.ddddddddddddId need roughly all 600 fighters.Borris said his interest in unionizing UFC athletes began earlier this year, when he was asked by an associate at Ballengee Group sports agency, Lloyd Pierson, to look over his client Nate Diazs contract for UFC 196. Borris said he was shocked by several terms of the contract, all of which were in place absent any collective bargaining agreement.Matters such as drug-testing policies, licensing agreements and media responsibilities are all dictated by the UFC.As a specific example, Borris pointed to the recent debacle between the UFC and McGregor, one of its biggest stars. Earlier this year, the UFC pulled McGregor from a scheduled fight at UFC 200 on July 9 because he refused to interrupt his training camp to fly to Las Vegas for a scheduled news conference and photo shoot.Borris found it unacceptable that a process isnt in place to settle that type of dispute via a third party.In my view of the world, there should be a grievance procedure in place between the UFC and any one of its fighters, Borris said. In this example, a third-party arbitrator would make that ruling, as to whether Conor should fly in from Iceland or he shouldnt. It would not be this unilateral decision by the UFC to go and retaliate by yanking both Conor and Nate off a card where they are scheduled to make millions of dollars.The UFC has always been a private company, meaning its financial information is not public. PFA estimates, however, that athletes currently receive only 15 percent of the organizations revenue, compared to a far more even split in other leagues.Middlebrook, who has counseled the National Basketball Referees Association and the Professional Soccer Referees Association, added that the PFA would fight for benefits such as comprehensive medical care and retirement.Athletes have coverage based on fighting, but if they get a sinus infection, theyre not covered, Middlebrook said. To me, those are big parts of what were doing. Post-employment benefits -- 401[k] program where the UFC matches. Thats very typical of a [collective bargaining agreement].According to Borris, the PFA has received support from other players associations, including that of Donald Fehr, the former executive director of the MLB Players Association and current executive director of the NHL Players Association.
