I need coffee

Good think Johnny O is supplying it.

If it’s rare around the Colts for someone to disagree with QB Peyton Manning, no one minded when WR Reggie Wayne did it Sunday. Manning had called for a fade route on the game-winning touchdown pass. Wayne shook the play off at the line of scrimmage and ran a slant. “I gave him my C.C. Sabathia shake off,” Wayne said. “We had just run the fade the last series and it was unsuccessful. I wanted to do the same thing, show fade and just come with the slant and it worked.” Said Manning, “Reggie called the last play. We threw a fade route to him earlier and they defended it well. I was going to throw the fade again, but he wanted the slant. . . He kept fighting through and made a great extended catch. It is hard for me to say it was his best catch ever because he has made so many, but it was timely.”
