Q: Former Colts linebacker Cato June, who’s now with the Buccaneers, said before the game he was going to give his new teammates tips on Peyton’s calls and signals at the line of scrimmage. How did you feel the Colts handled that Sunday?
A: ]It just proves all the intelligence in the world pre-game isn’t going to do you any good, because Peyton knows people are trying to figure that out. We change it week to week and sometimes quarter to quarter, depending upon what we think is appropriate, so it’s very difficult for somebody to pick that up. Now, we run certain plays and everybody knows we run them. The problem is stopping them and knowing when they’re going to be run. That’s why we’ve done a good job of disguising that and executing them. Sunday was a relatively straightforward simple game plan because we had so many young players in the game. In fact, on kickoff coverage, we had seven rookies. They did a darned good job, by the way. It really isn’t the nomenclature that’s important. What’s important is the execution.
Just thought this was kind of funny.
