The Colts resisted the temptation to trade Jacoby Brissett this offseason Womens Peyton Manning Jersey , putting a high price on their backup quarterback.And while it’s probably too soon to panic about starter Andrew Luck‘s calf strain (Narrator voice: It’s never too soon to panic), they do feel good about the progress Brissett has made.Via Kyle Neddenriep of the , Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni said Brissett had a “firmer grasp” on the offense.“I think any time a guy gets reps, a lot of reps, that’s huge for us as a team,” Sirianni said. “Obviously Womens Malik Hooker Jersey , yeah, you want Andrew out there, but when a guy’s getting some reps and getting the timing down with the receivers, the snap count and cadence, and the calls down with the center and the offensive line, that’s invaluable.“What I think he’s really done is gain the trust of everybody in the offensive huddle. They have confidence in him that he’s going to get the job done.”For his part Andrew Luck Jersey , Brissett didn’t want to make a big deal of the extra work he’s getting while Luck’s recovering.“I’m not worrying about that,” he said. “Just taking it one day at a time, you know, and just getting better at this time of the year.

After watching Womens Darius Leonard Jersey , Saturday could tell this year’s team is already better than the 2017 version.

You have a brand new offense Peyton Manning Jersey White , a new defense, a new head coach,” the former Colts center said. “All the newness is going to take some time to (work through).”“There are still enough holes that need to be filled,” Saturday said. “It’s a game of attrition.
