Going to school

Gotta teach the new guys

“I think you have to trust him,” Manning told the Indianapolis media. “There is no time to get out there and say, ‘Boy, I can’t make this play because I’m not sure.’ You have to go out there and go play. That’s why practice reps, walk-throughs and meetings, we do a little extra meeting together with some of these young guys, we have a little school after Thursday’s practice…I’m at least 14 years older than everybody in the room, I think.

“It may not be 14, but I feel really old. Javarris James, Blair White, Brandon James and Tamme and (Austin) Collie, it’s a little Colts school after practice, but it’s fun. We talk about kind of the basic fundamental things which you have to do. You can’t take those things for granted with some of these new guys that just haven’t been playing.”
