Same old, same old

Marvez says it’s like Dungy never left

You can tell we haven’t missed a beat under coach Caldwell,” Colts safety Melvin Bullitt said.

Manning said he is still getting a feel for Caldwell as a head coach rather than just his quarterbacks coach since 2002. Manning, though, is encouraged by what has transpired so far.

“We’re getting to know him as each situation comes up whether it’s a fourth-and-one, a two-minute drill or something in the course of practice,” Manning said. “I know him well as a quarterbacks coach but I don’t know him as a head coach. It’s like any relationship — it takes time and you learn on the run. It’s been fun so far because we’ve been learning as we’ve been winning. But we know it’s a long season and we’ve got to keep fighting together.

“I will say this: I always thought one of coach Dungy’s greatest strengths is that the players here played extremely hard for him. So far, coach Caldwell is getting that out of us. That’s a credit to him.”
