Colts: Plan for starters
With the Colts locked into the #3 playoff slot in the AFC, head coach Tony Dungy explained the playing time situation for his players when they take on the Broncos Sunday.
"We’ll play our first group and we’ll see how it goes," he said. "There are a lot of factors involved in how much they’ll play and how long, but it won’t be a situation where, ‘We’re not playing these 10 guys.’ We want to continue to be sharp."
How much playing time could come down to when they play the following week.
"If I can get a feel about whether we’re playing (the opening-round playoff game) on Saturday or Sunday, that will weigh in to it a little bit more than any injuries," said Dungy. "Going out there and then having to turn around and play on Saturday, that would go into my decision-making. But if we’re fairly certain we’re going to play on Sunday, we’ll treat it as a normal game."
Hope that gives you some hope...
