Garcon on the route tree

Frenchy is working in the pregame

But lately, there has been a third. Pierre Garcon began sharing repetitions with Wayne several weeks ago.

“(Manning) told me to come out there and join them,” Garcon said. “Just running routes versus ‘air’ and getting loose. It’s cool.”

Perhaps it’s a coincidence, but since being involved with Manning’s pregame work, Garcon has achieved a level of productivity that had been missing. He has had at least five catches in each of the past five games and had six for 93 yards and two touchdowns in the Colts’ 30-28 win at Tennessee on Dec. 9.
