Don’t we all. Lots of great quotes in this one
“There were times that the looks were there and everything I’ve been taught in running this system was to run it,” said Manning, who has the final say in the play-calling when the Colts get to the line of scrimmage. “But I’d call the run and we’d get one yard, be in second-and-9. After awhile, you do that and it’s hard to keep coming back to it.”
But Manning wants to come back to it.
“I think they know where my heart lies,” Manning said, referring to the rest of the offensive players and, in particular, the linemen. “I want to be balanced. I don’t want to go out there and throw it 50 times. We will if that’s what we have to do to win … we’ll do it and adjust, but I like that 28/28 (run/pass) balance. It gets everybody into it, keeps the backs into it, the line likes it, keeps the defense off balance.
