Tanier breaks down Manning picks

Mike Tanier says he’s staring down Wayne

Manning looked at Wayne, and only Wayne, for this entire play. This is not how the Colts offense is supposed to work. But close examination of the Weddle interception shows why Manning has gotten sloppy about staring down his best receiver. Three other Colts receivers ran routes against man coverage on this play, but none of them got open. Players such as White, Tamme, Pierre Garcon and Donald Brown aren’t terrible, but opponents know they can be locked down with simple coverage, and Manning has stopped looking their way at crucial moments.
