So how does Peyton Manning feel about all the Colts off-season changes?
In an interview with the Associated Press at the annual Manning Passing Camp in Louisiana, Manning expressed confidence that the departures of coach Tony Dungy and wide receiver Marvin Harrison won't derail the Colts' chances.
"Even though Tony Dungy won't be on the sideline, I feel like the winning atmosphere and the environment he created in our building will carry through," Manning said. "Coach [Jim] Caldwell assured me he's got a good plan."
Let's not forget that offensive coordinator Tom Moore and offensive line coach Howard Mudd retired this offseason and returning as consultants.
Profootballtalk.com brings up a good point. The Colts' offensive outlook is promising because of Manning's improved health compared to a year ago when he had to undergo a pair of surgeries on his left knee to address an infected bursa sac.
Last year, Manning was sidelined for training camp as he recuperated from the surgeries.
"Not being able to go through training camp definitely caused me to have a slow start to the season," Manning said. "I'm a big believer that training camp is where you form the foundation of your team. Hopefully, we can go through with no hurdles this year and get off to a fast start."
