Young Colts

The Star has a couple of nice write ups of the Colts young WRs.  Kravitz starts us out with a real nice profile of Garcon and Phil Richards keeps the theme going with a great article on Collie and Garcon

The Colts are a long way, it would seem, from the mid-September day Gonzalez went down and Manning said, “For us to be the kind of team we want this year, we are going to need Anthony Gonzalez back.”

The Colts are 4-0, the kind of team they want to be, for now. Gonzalez is rehabilitating, and Caldwell said this week, “maybe a little bit ahead” of schedule, but it’s Garcon’s and Collie’s job to do with the Colts moving into division play against the teams that know them best and play them toughest.

Manning gives the kids full credit but cautions it isn’t time “we crown them.”

Said Manning: “There is never a moment in practice or a game where you can kind of relax or breathe easy and say, ‘Oh, he will know this.’ “

That’s why Garcon is taking home DVDs of opponents’ defenses and Collie is ignoring the “SportsCenter” highlights of his laid-out touchdown catch.

“I try not to pay attention to those types of things because that is one week,” said Collie, who caught six passes for 65 yards against Seattle.

“Brooke does watch the highlights. She enjoyed (last) weekend. She was very proud of me, as a wife should be.”

And that’s that. The season goes on. The learning proceeds.

At the end of the day, Collie knows, it’s back to bed, back to work. Brooke has the playbook, and Austin had better know it.
