Absolutely (the running game is encouraging) and we re always striving for that balance (of run and pass), said Collins. I thought we did that really well yesterday. Joe s (Addai) been running great and Delone (Carter) comes in and gives us a little punch there.

(We have to) keep growing on what we are doing well, define our team for what it s going to be, and how we re going to find ways to win. Head Coach Jim Caldwell has always been a coach with a philosophy that achieving smaller goals will lead to larger ones.

8 COLTS NOTES GETTING ANGRY HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS Linebacker Pat Angerer leads the Colts with 21 tackles (12 solo) and has participated at both strongside linebacker and middle linebacker in Indianapolis first two regular season games. In a Week 1 match-up at Houston, the second-year pro set a career-high with 13 tackles (nine solo). His 13 stops marked the fourth time in his two-year career that he paced all Colts defensemen in tackles. Angerer then added eight stops in the club s home opener against the Browns.

His recovery against the Texans was the first of his career, which came in the fourth quarter and led to Indianapolis lone touchdown of the contest. Angerer s forced fumble against the Browns (the second of his career) was recovered by Cleveland, but helped prevent a potential scoring drive. Indianapolis defensive end Dwight Freeney dropped Browns quarterback Colt McCoy for his first sack and forced fumble of the season in Week 2. The Indianapolis Colts have a welcomed sight in terms of the team s travel this season. With the total air distance that all teams have to travel during the regular season totaling 506,054 miles, the Colts rank second to last in the most amount of miles a team in the league has to travel for road contests (9,554) this season. Only the Tennessee has a shorter total route with 7,060 miles. Teams in the NFC West have the highest combined mileage for all divisions (95,346) as the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks rank first and second on the list. IT S ALWAYS A CHALLENGE The AFC and AFC South Division always present challenging match-ups for not only the Colts, but all teams across the league. This season is no different as the Colts enter the 2011 campaign tied for the third hardest schedule. Last season, Indy s opponents compiled a record for a.520 winning percentage. They play against nine teams who were.500 or better last year and six teams that reached the 2010 playoffs. Below is a look at the top teams in terms of strength of schedule.

10 QUARTERBACK KERRY COLLINS A NOTEWORTHY RESUME Colts quarterback Kerry Collins is in his 17th NFL season and his first with the Colts. He leads the team in seasons played topping kicker Adam Vinatieri (16) and quarterback Peyton Manning (14). Collins, 6-5, 247 pounds, has spent time with the Carolina Panthers ( ), New Orleans Saints (1998), New York Giants ( ), Oakland Raiders ( ), Tennessee Titans ( ) and now Indianapolis (2011). In 197 career NFL games (179 starts), he has completed 3,474-of-6,232 passes for 40,829 yards, 208 touchdowns, 196 interceptions and a 73.9 quarterback rating. Collins attempts and completions both rank ninth in NFL annals while his passing yardage ranks 10th in the league. He also ranks second among NFL active quarterbacks in attempts, completions and passing yards behind Peyton Manning. Collins, who joined the team on August 25, has been working extensively on learning the team s offensive system and head coach Jim Caldwell has noted his work ethic. He s working extremely hard at it, said Caldwell. Guys don t last that long in the league like he s lasted, in terms of years of service, without having a great work ethic, which he has. He s been determined to get things right and to be able to make the adjustments that we need to make. Collins was originally selected by Carolina in the first round (fifth overall) of the 1995 NFL Draft, the first player ever chosen by the Panthers. In his second season with the team, he led Carolina to the NFC Championship Game, throwing for 2,454 yards and 14 touchdowns that season. In 2000, Collins guided the New York Giants to Super Bowl XXXV, losing to the Baltimore Ravens. He has also started 28 games in two years with the Raiders and 32 games in five seasons with the Titans. Collins was selected to the Pro Bowl on two occasions (1996 and 2008) and still holds the Giants single-season record for passing yards with 4,073 in At Penn State University, Collins completed 370-of-657 passes for 5,304 yards and 39 touchdowns in four seasons. During his senior campaign (1994), he led the Nittany Lions to an undefeated season, which was capped by a Rose Bowl victory over the Oregon Ducks. That year, Collins received the Maxwell Award, Davey O Brien Award and Sammy Baugh Award while being named the College Quarterback of the Year. He also finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting that year. BREAKING INTO THE TOP 10 Kerry Collins is one of 12 NFL quarterbacks to record over 40,000 passing yards. He completed 16-of-31 passes for 197 yards and one touchdown in the season opener against Houston. Having compiled 197 yards, Collins surpassed Joe Montana (40,551) for 10th place on the league s all-time passing yardage list. He remains 2,211 yards shy of Dan Fouts and the ninth spot.

If Collins reaches the plateau, he will become one of 16 quarterbacks in league history to reach the mark. He would join other Colt quarterbacks Johnny Unitas (211) and Peyton Manning (208) who are also in the top 16 on the list. Collins has started 179 career games and has started on every team he has competed on dating back to his rookie season. HISTORICAL RELEVANCE Quarterback Kerry Collins, a 17-year NFL veteran and Peyton Manning have intersected before, and they are two of 12 quarterbacks ever to top the 40,000-yard career passing mark. Manning has thrown for 54,828 yards, while Collins has 40,829 yards. When the pair met in the 2010 regularseason finale (Collins as a member of the Tennessee Titans) in Indianapolis, it marked the first time in NFL history two quarterbacks shared the field together after having passed the 40,000-yard plateau.

90 INDIANAPOLIS COLTS FEATURE CLIPS

91 Gronkowski is long used to feeling hits By Phil Richards, Indy Star September 17, 2011 (two pages) Chris Gronkowski needed no indoctrination on the importance of beating rival New England when the Indianapolis Colts claimed him off waivers Sept. 4. That was built in. Gronkowski's brothers -- Rob, an emerging star, and Dan -- both play tight end for the Patriots. The teams' meeting in Foxborough, Mass., on Dec. 4 will be something of a family reunion. Hugs will be optional. "I'm sure we'll be texting back and forth, seeing where each other is going to play on special teams since all of us are on offense," said Chris, a second-year fullback. "Special teams will be the only chance we get to hit each other." Hitting is a family tradition. Could it be otherwise? This is a rawboned, rambunctious bunch. Rob is 6-6, 265 pounds. Dan goes 6-5, 255. Chris is 6-2, 245. Then there's elder brother Gordie (6-6, 230), a big-hitting first baseman who reached Class A in the Los Angeles Angels organization before back problems ended his baseball career. Glenn is the "little" little brother at 6-3, 210; he will play for Kansas State next year. Imagine that crew in the basement of their Amherst, N.Y., home playing a no-ice, no-rules, no-whistles game of hockey. To get to the point, one or more brothers body-slammed Chris, who body-slammed Glenn, who was hauled off to the emergency room with a deep gash in his chin. "Quite a Christmas Eve," said Chris, whose father, Gordon Sr., played guard at Syracuse University. More than 300 sets of brothers have played in the NFL, going back to Red and Garland Grange with the Chicago Bears in The Gronkowskis are the first trio since Brian, Gary and Rich Baldinger, How could it not be? The Gronkowskis grew up 20 minutes from the Buffalo Bills' Ralph Wilson Stadium, dreaming of playing in the NFL. Chris just never imagined it would be with the Colts. "I used to watch film of NFL teams and when I came to the Colts, I'd just skip it because they were never in two-back sets," said Gronkowski, who spent last season with the Dallas Cowboys. "I was kind of surprised when they called, but going to a good team, it was a good feeling." Gronkowski is the first fullback to spend significant time on the Colts' regular-season roster since Luke Lawton in Gronkowski signed Sept. 4. Seven days later, he played in short-yardage situations and on the punt and punt return, kickoff and kickoff return teams in the Colts' season opener at Houston. On a third-and-1 play during the fourth quarter, Gronkowski lined up in the backfield with 5-9, 225-pound Delone Carter. It was an impressive show of muscle on the hoof. Gronkowski pinned 6-6, 283-pound Texans defensive end Mario Williams. Carter blasted up the middle for 3 yards and a first down. "He's a pretty versatile guy," Colts coach Jim Caldwell said of Gronkowski.

92 "We haven't had a guy that helped us on special teams who played the position since Detron Smith ( ), probably. Detron was kind of a core guy, and he did everything. I think Chris has that potential." Toughness is not an issue. The Gronkowski gang hammered it into one another, and the house that held them. "It was pretty beat up by the time we sold it," Gronkowski said. "There were dents and chips in the walls."

93 Colts CB Kevin Thomas restarts his career Mike Chappell, Indy Star August 18, 2011 (two pages) ANDERSON, Ind. -- Kevin Thomas was one of the new kids on the block but figured he had everything figured out. He was a wiry, athletic cornerback who developed into a stellar player at USC, primarily because of his God-given talents. "I was just blessed and a good football player and pretty much just skated my way through competition and always excelled," Thomas said during a recent break from training camp at Anderson University. Then, a week after the Indianapolis Colts selected him in the third round of the 2010 draft, Thomas was introduced to the dark side of the business. Painfully so. With about 35 minutes remaining in the team's final rookie minicamp session, Thomas, bouncing around as rookies tend to do, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. His first NFL season was over. "I knew it was serious," Thomas said. "I had never had that feeling in my leg before." Months of strenuous rehabilitation have brought Thomas back to where he believes he belongs and where the Colts envisioned when they drafted him. He's in the cornerback mix, working as Jacob Lacey's backup on the left side. "I don't look at it that a spot's going to be given to me," Thomas said. "I'm just trying to fit into that role and be the type of player they want me to be." The early reviews are encouraging. Thomas played extensively in last Saturday's preseason opener at St. Louis and was credited with five tackles. Starting cornerback Jerraud Powers has noticed Thomas' quick progression through his first NFL training camp. "If you saw him from day one of camp to right now, it's been great progress," Powers said. "First day, his eyes were wide open, like, 'Wow, we're moving so fast.' "Then you see him (at St. Louis) and even though he made some mistakes out there, he was flying around and hitting. You could see his potential." Powers paused, then continued his critique. "He's going to be a phenomenal player," he said. "He's 6-1, a tall cornerback with great feet, great hips and great cover skills." Thomas caught the eye of coach Jim Caldwell early. "The first day he was out there, we noticed he was moving extremely well," he said.

94 "He's got speed and he's athletic, a rangy guy. We want to see how he develops, but he certainly has skill." Thomas spent the past 15 months recovering from the injury. Not only did he work tirelessly with the medical staff during the 2010 season, he was in the locker room, around teammates. There's no overstating the value of a young player just being around. "I think it's very important just in terms of the overall culture," Caldwell said. "It's not always what you do, but how you do them. I know he watched and listened." Added Powers: "He saw the drift. Now he's going through it for the first time as a rookie. He's still a rookie." Spending so much time around the team opened Thomas' eyes to what it takes to play at the highest level. He watched as Powers, Lacey, ex-colt Kelvin Hayden and others prepared. Last year, Thomas said, "humbled me as far as how I should prepare and live my life according to the NFL. You (don't) have a clue once you first get here. "I saw how they operated and I pretty much saw how our star players' bodies were built. I could see what muscles they focused on -- the glutes, the quads, the calves, the back muscles, the neck muscles, pretty much all the lower body." Thomas is confident he has done the necessary preparation. "I feel like my game's coming together," he said. "I have things to work on, but I feel good."

95 Colts lineman Air Joe remains level-headed By Phillip B. Wilson, Indy Star August 17, 2011 (two pages) Just before Joe Reitz came home to join the Indianapolis Colts last season, the former Hamilton Southeastern High School two-sport star showed why football became his profession instead of basketball. The offensive lineman was playing for Baltimore in a preseason game. Handed the football to celebrate a touchdown, the 6-7, 320-pound blocker rose up with his left hand to "dunk" it, only to get rejected by the goal-post crossbar. It made ESPN's "Not Top 10" list and fans found the unflattering footage on the Internet. When the Colts claimed Reitz off waivers in early September a year ago, one of the first questions he faced in the offensive-line meeting room pertained to his dunk attempt. "(Center) Jeff Saturday came up with the nickname 'Air Joe,' " Reitz said after a recent training-camp practice at Anderson University. "A lot of the older guys haven't let me forget I'm 'Air Joe.' " This preseason, Reitz's family is walking on air as he competes for a starting position at left guard. He started Saturday's preseason opener at St. Louis and is alternating on the first team with second-year pro Jacques McClendon. "You don't want to get too high or too low," said his father, Dave Reitz, 52, Fishers. "Joe has used that analogy. He's staying very focused. "But the opportunity to be in your home city with your hometown team and getting a chance to play, it's been surreal." His mother, Jane, as well as two sisters and one brother, share the joy with many friends who have followed his career. "We're so excited he's been able to move back home," said Jane Reitz, 52. It's beyond what Joe Reitz envisioned for himself. An all-state football player and Indianapolis Star Indiana All-Star in basketball at HSE, he chose basketball and didn't play football at Western Michigan. He departed from Kalamazoo, Mich., as the Broncos' third-leading career scorer and rebounder. But he also knew his future wasn't the NBA. "There's not a big market for 6-7 centers who can't jump very high, as people... saw from my goal-post incident," Reitz said. "The whole ride I've had, from being able to start four years in college basketball to now, to have a chance to be in the NFL, it's been beyond my wildest dream." Undrafted out of college, Reitz joined the Ravens, who thought he could be a tight end but switched him to the offensive line and started bulking him up from his 250-pound college weight. After two seasons on Baltimore's practice squad -- the second cut short by injury -- he was let go at the outset of 2010, signed with Miami, then was cut three days later and claimed by the Colts. Reitz, 24, spent almost all of last season on the Colts' practice squad and was inactive for his only game on the roster. But he was liked from day one.

96 "He's a great, great guy," said Saturday, a five-time Pro Bowl center in his 13th season. "His wife, Jill, is a super lady. They're just good people. When you get teammates like that, you appreciate them. I've been around the game a long time and he's a class act all the way around. "He can laugh about the whole 'Air Joe' thing; he doesn't take himself too seriously. When he's on the field, he gives his best and he's got a bright future." Coach Jim Caldwell makes it sound like there's a place for Reitz on the active roster. "He's coming along very well," Caldwell said. "He's caught on quickly. He's a big, strong, athletic guy. Every single day you see him do something a little bit better." He will have a large cheering section for Friday's preseason game against Washington at Lucas Oil Stadium. His parents and three siblings will be joined by a couple of friends traveling long distances. Then there are former high school friends and coaches. "We're loving it," Jane Reitz said, "and keeping our fingers crossed." Added Dave Reitz, "Everybody wants 'Air Joe' to succeed."

97 This Polian isn t a mere carbon copy By Bob Kravitz, Indy Star August 17, 2011 (two pages) ANDERSON, Ind. If Chris Polian runs the Indianapolis Colts as well as his father has all these years, we won't really notice there has been a changing of the guard atop the team's organizational chart. If Polian the Younger follows the blueprint established by Bill Polian, if he sticks by the same core philosophies and beliefs, Chris' Colts will look and play a whole lot like Bill's Colts. Which is what the new man in charge, Chris Polian, largely plans to do. He may not be his father, but he's his father's son. And his father merely ranks as the greatest front-office football architect who ever lived. "I think you've got to be yourself," Chris Polian, the Colts' general manager, said after the Tuesday morning practice. "You can't be somebody you aren't. You always try to learn and grow from your own mistakes and watching things. One of the things (team owner) Mr. (Jim) Irsay told me was, 'Do it how you want to do it, but learn the good and the bad from what you've been around.' "But the system and the process is always going to be rooted in the same foundation. It'll be tweaked on a year-to-year basis, but we'll always understand the wheel is round and we're not going to re-invent the wheel." Doesn't that make sense? Smart people know when change is needed, but more, they know when it's not needed. Chris Polian is not in any rush to put his unique imprint on this organization, at least not in the near term. He has made some subtle adjustments, done some front-office and coaching-staff tweaking, and that will continue as circumstances change from year to year. He hasn't made any loud or audacious changes, not at this early juncture. They're the same old Colts -- and that's a good thing. Still maintaining the same draft structure and philosophy that has served them so well this past decade. Still signing and keeping their own free agents. Still resisting the temptation to take the plunge into big-dollar free agency. (Jamaal Anderson, Tommie Harris and Ernie Sims are all low-risk, low-budget pick-ups.) Still doing all the things that produced two Super Bowl appearances, one Super Bowl title, seven straight 12-plus win seasons and an injury-marred 10-win season last year. I asked him Tuesday what he has taken from his father, who is now the team's vice chairman. He talked about believing in the process -- a general team-building process -- that worked so well for his father in Buffalo, then Carolina, then here. "The one thing you want out of the process is to lend you perspective and patience -- which this business doesn't lend itself to necessarily," he said. "Being process-oriented also helps you remove the emotion sometimes, which is vitally important. Then if you build into that process the right checks and balances, different opinions, people playing devil's advocate, that should help you make the right decisions."

98 I also asked him if, and how, he will be different than his father. He had no interest in answering that one. Already, though, there is a sense this will be a somewhat kinder, gentler franchise under Chris Polian -- although it's still early, and I haven't written anything yet to enrage him. It's no secret, Bill Polian had absolutely no use for the media, and especially the local media. But with Chris so far, the team has been more media-friendly and less contentious. That's not a reflection of Craig Kelley, the longtime media relations man who was reassigned this year; he was simply doing what he was told by a demanding and often difficult boss. It's just to say that the new media-relations staff, which has been very accommodating, has been blessed to work for a Polian who seems to have a more enlightened and modern view of the media's role. What does that mean for fans who care only about wins and losses? Absolutely nothing. But it rates as an early sign that as much as it will be business as usual with the Colts, there will be some changes. In many ways, the Bill-to-Chris transition is not very different than the Tony Dungy-to-Jim Caldwell change. The third-year coach is more similar to Dungy than he is different, and he's more than happy to embrace those similarities. "Chris is his own man," Caldwell said. "He has his own personality, the way he deals with issues. Obviously there are lots of similarities (to Bill), but it's akin to what happened with Tony and I. We have the same system, the same core beliefs in what we do, but there are little things that are different." Chris Polian is coming along at a particularly challenging moment in the franchise's history. The window of opportunity truly is closing on this team. Quarterback Peyton Manning just signed a contract for what figures to be his final five years, and mainstays Jeff Saturday, Ryan Diem, Reggie Wayne and Robert Mathis are all in the final year of their deals. He needs to build for now, to get this team to another Super Bowl. He needs to build a team that will be somewhat less reliant on Manning as he enters his late 30s, a team that can win with a running game and defense. And -- gasp -- he eventually needs to find Manning's successor when the dreaded day finally comes. He also is taking over at the back end of a lockout, which will slow rookie development and impede everyone's efforts to build depth with younger players. For now, though, he is largely sticking to the script. This team is still built around Manning and nine other highly-paid stars who account for the vast majority of the payroll. "For now, in terms of seeing a dramatic philosophical change, the train is too far down the tracks," he said. This quiet changing-of-the-guard has been in the works for years. Bill Polian has incrementally increased Chris' workload and responsibilities. This year, Bill has stepped away some, hanging around simply to help with the transition, work with the organization through the post-lockout period, and to provide his son and his staff with a sounding board. What will Polian the Elder's role be? "Whatever he wants to do," Chris said with a smile. "Whenever he wants to do it." The kid has learned from the best. And he's smart enough to know, the wheel is still round.

99 Colts' Saturday stood up for health of fellow players By Tom Pedulla, USA TODAY August 15, 2011 (two pages) ANDERSON, Ind. For Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday, who was portrayed by both sides as playing a key role in reaching a collective bargaining agreement, it was never about the money. He traveled the country and immersed himself in day after day of painstaking negotiations because he was determined to do his part to protect the bodies and minds of current and future NFL players. "I want players to walk away healthy from this game," he says. "I don't want them to be crippled. I don't want them to have brain issues. I want them to be productive in society once they leave." According to Saturday, his recent service on the executive committee of the NFL Players Association made him keenly aware of the devastating toll the game was taking. "I have had many men say, 'Look at me. This is a serious issue. This is what I'm going through. This is what my family is going through,'" he says. "Those were very important factors we did not miss. "We have young men who play this game who cannot foresee the future, so we need these men to tell us what it's like. At the end of the day, we have to protect the players' long-term health of their bodies and minds, and money doesn't protect them from that. "Money can help fix some issues, but it can't fix them all." Given that the sport generated more than $9billion in revenue last season and projections for future growth are excellent, it was always clear there would be enough revenue to satisfy both parties. The matter of shielding those who have no assurance they will walk off the field on any given day was far more complex. "Nobody leaves this game uninjured. It's impossible," Saturday says. "Everybody is leaving with something." The issue was how to keep that to a minimum. A sore ankle or knee is one thing. Dementia is another. In providing critical input to NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith, Saturday reflected on the years he spent in Indianapolis. He graduated from the University of North Carolina with a business degree and joined the Colts as an undrafted rookie in He soon became a mainstay on the offensive line. With superb quarterback Peyton Manning directing the offense, Tony Dungy produced a record from 2002 to 2008 punctuated by a Super Bowl triumph to close the 2006 season. Dungy was known for limiting the physical demands on players during training camp with an eye toward the long haul. His successor, Jim Caldwell, is achieving strong results with the same philosophy. Caldwell took Indianapolis to the Super Bowl in his first season. He guided the Colts to the playoffs again last year. The AFC South champions fashioned a 10-6 mark before they were eliminated by the visiting New York Jets in the divisional playoffs.

100 Caldwell says of the less-is-more approach, "That is being prudent because this game is so physical. You have to take that into account." As key elements of the new 10-year labor agreement, offseason workouts were reduced. Grueling two-aday practices during training camp are history. Teams are limited to 14 padded practices during the regular season. Although successful counterparts such as Bill Belichick relied heavily on two-a-day practices during camp as part of his formula for success with the New England Patriots, Caldwell thinks they are not essential to developing hard-nosed, physical players. "If you look at the teams Tony coached over the years, they were the toughest teams going," says Caldwell, a former top assistant to Dungy. "They were very physical and very capable teams. In November and December, when you had to make a move and you had to be playing well, his teams were always playing well." Patriots owner Robert Kraft credits Saturday with the heavily debated elimination of two-a-days, noting how adamant he was on that issue. "It's hard to like the center for Peyton Manning," Kraft says with a nod to one of the AFC's most contentious rivalries. "I mean, I really like the guy."

101 After disappointing rookie year, DE Hughes ready for fresh start After rough rookie season, defensive end driven by 2nd chance and that elusive 1st sack Phillip B. Wilson, Indy Star August 10, 2011 (two pages) ANDERSON, Ind. Jerry Hughes always has had a burst. His NFL rookie year, though, couldn't end fast enough. Hughes managed just six tackles in a dozen games. The Indianapolis Colts made the 2010 first-round pick a healthy scratch for four games. And his best chance at a sack, with two hands on Cincinnati's Carson Palmer, ended with the passer somehow wriggling free. Fans grumbled about a high draft pick failing to contribute immediately. Hughes said all the right things, about how he had so much to learn and that the NFL was a process. But, eventually, the situation ate at the defensive end. "That kind of caught up to me," Hughes said after a recent training-camp practice at Anderson University. "You can't really think about where I was picked. You can't let people tell you what you're supposed to do. You know what you need to do and you know how to get there." Colts coach Jim Caldwell has alluded to how Saturday night's preseason opener at St. Louis will be an opportunity for younger players to get some serious playing time. That definitely includes Hughes. Not that a few camp practices and drills are anything more than modestly encouraging, but Hughes has looked faster so far. He had Curtis Painter for a sack in the first night practice -- it likely would have been if defenders were allowed to tackle. Hughes has won his share of one-on-one battles in the pass-rush/passblock drill. Question is, can he combine enough moves with the physicality needed to withstand a blocker's shoves? One moment in a drill, Hughes is speeding around the end to get to where the passer would be. The next, he is gobbled up on an attempted bull rush. Saturday should offer a barometer on where Hughes is. "Jerry Hughes is really coming along," Caldwell said. "He's been performing extremely well thus far. He's more comfortable with what we do, and his effort's been great." The old adage is a player progresses the most from his first season to the second. "They get a lot more familiar with the system, so therefore they don't have to think about it as much," Caldwell said. "They can let themselves go. They don't have to worry about necessarily every little step that they take." Caldwell then snapped his fingers and said, "It just clicks." The Colts' Pro Bowl pass-rushing tandem of Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis has worked with Hughes from the beginning. They have been on him about learning the spin move. "This is life in the NFL. You'll have your ups and downs," Freeney said. "For some guys, maybe it's a week. Some guys, it's a month." For Hughes, he hopes it was but a year.

102 "You've just got to keep grinding," Freeney said. Nobody was more frustrated by the Palmer miss than Hughes. But Freeney, the Colts' all-time sack leader with 94 in nine years, doesn't recall whom he sacked the first time. "I think it was against Tennessee. It might have been against (Steve) McNair," he said. Actually, it was at Houston against David Carr in Freeney's third career game. McNair wasn't a bad guess, though. Freeney sacked Carr and McNair the most at seven times apiece. Mathis said he sees a change in what has been a more-excited Hughes. "In the end, this is the NFL and we're all pros," Mathis said. "Everybody was that guy in college. Despite draft placement, you've got to come in and show what you've got. You just can't get by on the past. He's doing that now." Freeney and Mathis continually remind Hughes to work a move and always go full speed. Hughes eagerly awaits his next chance to get that first sack. If or when it happens, he rationalizes it will be long overdue. "No celebration needed," he said. "Take it, and keep on moving to the next one."

103 Spectators no more, Addai, other vets happy to return to fray By Mike Chappell - Indy Star August 6, 2011 (two pages) ANDERSON, Ind. -- Who could blame Joseph Addai for sporting a grin as he considered pulling on the pads and hitting the practice field with more than a dozen veterans for the first time Friday afternoon? It beat the alternative. His contract had expired at the end of the 2010 season. "Yeah, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time," the Indianapolis Colts veteran running back said, smiling broadly. "Remember, three weeks ago I was unemployed. I'm kind of blessed to be back here and employed." Addai had plenty of company. While the Colts have been on the Anderson University practice fields since Monday, several players have been forced to wait and watch. Veterans who signed new or restricted contracts were prohibited from practicing until the new collective bargaining agreement was ratified. That occurred Thursday afternoon. Now, the gang's all here, except for injured quarterback Peyton Manning (neck) and wide receiver Blair White (back). Each remains on the physically unable to perform list. Among returnees finally getting to work out Friday were safety Melvin Bullitt, offensive tackle Ryan Diem, guard Kyle DeVan, kicker Adam Vinatieri and defensive linemen Eric Foster and Antonio Johnson. The three recently signed veterans -- defensive tackle Tommie Harris, linebacker Ernie Sims and defensive end Jamaal Anderson -- also had their first camp exposure Friday. Bullitt said the spectator's role he had been forced to endure was testing his patience. "When they told us we couldn't practice until Friday, at first I got a little smile," he said. "Then after the first 20 minutes, you're like, 'Man, this is boring just being out here watching.' " Added Diem: "Missing all summer, we didn't have a chance to get out there and do work. This is our time now and we've got to take advantage of it. We're hoping Peyton can get out there soon, but in the meantime, we'll get tuned up." Addai was one of the bigger question marks -- would he be re-signed? -- as the lockout persisted and the offseason unfolded. The Colts' 2006 first-round draft pick spent most of the offseason in Baton Rouge, La. He divided his time between working out and fretting. "I always think the worst, no matter what," Addai said. Manning made it clear re-signing Addai was one of his priorities when he agreed to accept less than the Colts were offering. Although he has battled injuries during his five-year career, Addai is the total package: runner, receiver, blocker in pass protection. He led the team in rushing in each of his first four seasons before falling two yards shy of Donald Brown's team-high 497 yards last season. Addai's 4,020 career yards rank No. 8 in club history. "He's a superb competitor and one that I think without question has an impact on our team because he knows his craft to a 'T,' " coach Jim Caldwell said. "He is an expert at it. He is a difference maker." However, the Colts do not have a history of signing their feature running backs to a second contract. Marshall Faulk, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame today, didn't get one. Neither did

104 Edgerrin James. After James' six-year rookie contract expired in 2004, the team retained him with the oneyear franchise tag. "I thought about that my rookie year: 'When my contract is up, I probably won't be here,' " Addai said. "But it worked out for me." Shortly after Manning signed his five-year, $90 million contract, Addai re-upped with a three-year, $14 million deal. It had appeared the Colts were moving away from Addai when they used the 27th overall pick in the 2009 draft on Brown. But Brown, an inconsistent pass protector, has not established himself as a reliable feature back. As a result, Addai's return was a necessity. He kept in contact with Manning throughout the offseason. "I was waiting to see what they were going to do with me," Addai said. "Me and Peyton were talking and he was telling what he was thinking. It worked out for both of us.

105 Colts' Saturday was integral in preserving NFL Sundays By Don Banks - Sports Illustrated August 4, 2011 (three pages) ANDERSON, Ind. -- August has arrived, the NFL's back in the business of playing football, and all's well in the world again. Here in the Indianapolis Colts training camp, it's worth noting that Jeff Saturday might have had as much to do with that happy development as anyone involved in the whole months-long CBA ordeal. I can't help but think no matter what the veteran Colts center accomplishes in this 2011 season, his 13th in the NFL, Saturday likely has already done his best and most important work of the year. On this Thursday, of all days, with the NFL's new collective bargaining agreement finally slated to be buttoned up and put to bed for the next 10 years (praise be!), Saturday's pivotal role in ensuring football labor peace is a story that's well-timed and needs telling. Simply put, Saturday, the Colts' well-respected player rep, was consistently viewed as one of the foremost voices of reason in the long and often contentious labor negotiations. While fiercely and passionately representing the cause and concerns of the players, he also earned and held the respect of the owners and league executives on the other side of the table, who often reached out to him to help steady things when the talks reached one of its many various boiling points or impasses. He was that rare actor in this fight who could speak to both sides and help calm the situation and bridge their differences, rather than divide and inflame. "During the whole process, [NFL commissioner] Roger [Goodell] told me several times, he said if it wasn't for Jeff, sometimes I don't know where we'd be,'' Colts owner Jim Irsay said Wednesday night, following his team's first padded practice of the preseason. "Roger had a great relationship with Jeff, and he really did play a huge role in getting this thing done.'' League sources in the NFL office told me Thursday that Saturday was instrumental in finding common ground between two sides that often couldn't agree on the most basic of realities. "The universal impression of Jeff was that he was the glue who helped keep things together, and he really brought people together throughout the course of the negotiations,'' one league source said. "Roger [Goodell] trusts him implicitly, and while he was a very strong advocate for the players, his personality and nature is to help people come together.'' As one of the two team player reps who stuck with the long and arduous negotiations from acrimonious start to frantic finish -- Ravens cornerback Dominique Foxworth was the other -- Saturday gained credibility and respect for his commitment level and his grasp of the nitty-gritty details of the complicated deal. We've all seen so much TV footage in recent months of Saturday filing out of another labor negotiation session that I almost didn't recognize him Wednesday when I saw him in a football setting once again, sporting his familiar No. 63 jersey. I had to ask him if he really knew what he was signing up for when he first agreed to take part in the negotiations, an open-ended commitment that wound up stretching into weeks and months? "Oh, absolutely not. No chance,'' Saturday said, with a laugh. "Fox [Foxworth] made fun of me all the time, because I was sporting the same jacket time and time again. I was down in Florida with my wife and kids, and I don't have any jackets or suits in Florida. So I got that jacket, a couple of button-up shirts and some jeans, and that was my wardrobe the whole time. People made fun of me, but that's all I had. I wasn't going

106 back to Indy to get clothes. I went with what I had. Fox told me I should retire that jacket when an agreement got signed, so it's put up in the closet for good.'' Sartorial limitations aside, Saturday grew into such a role of leadership within the negotiations that he virtually couldn't have excused himself from the talks, even if he wanted to at times. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones grew to trust Saturday so much that he not once, but twice let Saturday use his corporate jet to fly home to Amelia Island, Fla., during breaks from negotiations. Jones and Saturday actually rode together on the plane coming from a negotiation session in Minnesota in June, with Jones headed for a vacation home in Destin, Fla. And during the final stage of the CBA talks in July, Jones insisted that Saturday use his jet to fly alone from New York City to Amelia Island to spend the weekend with his family. "I truly felt so sensitive to the fact that he was taking so much of his offseason time away from home, with hours and hours and weeks and weeks invested in the negotiation process,'' Jones told me Thursday morning on the phone. "It's one thing when you've done these types of meetings for years, but something else when you've got young children and you're away for that long. "On that first trip, he got to listen to me tell those old war stories for two or three hours, and just as his temperament was throughout the negotiations, he listened and was very interested the whole time. But it was just a great chance to get to know him better, and to talk about the issues. And then later, there we were standing in Times Square, and I just couldn't stand it that he was miles and miles away from that family of his, so I had to do it. He took the plane and got home for the weekend.'' As generous as he has been known to be, Jones quickly added that he's not in the habit of lending out his plane. But Saturday came to be seen as the key individual among the players' leadership, and he was one of the few people in the negotiations, maybe the only one, that everyone on both sides seemed to trust. At the risk of overstatement, his calming and uniting presence was nearly indispensable. On the day before talks broke down between the players and owners back in early March, resulting in the beginning of the lockout, it was Saturday who Goodell called in an effort to make some progress, meeting with him privately for about an hour in the lobby of Saturday's Washington D.C. hotel. And a year ago this month, when Goodell visited Colts training camp here in Anderson to address the players and talk about the looming labor stand off, it was Saturday who had to quickly diffuse a tense and heated situation between the commissioner and several players who were growing angrier by the second at Goodell's talking points. "That was a rather intense meeting,'' Saturday recalled. "You're talking about men's livelihoods, and men who are very protective of their families and the careers they have laid before them. So it did get heated. I just jumped up and said, 'Hey, we're not going to get anywhere doing this. He's heard what our opinion is, he knows where you guys stand. There's no reason to keep going. We're not gaining anything by doing this. Just stop.' '' Saturday admits there were many fruitless negotiation sessions during which he thought an answer to the league's labor stalemate would never come. He likened the process to endlessly turning the sides of a Rubik's Cube, waiting for the puzzle to finally solve itself. "There were days when I didn't think we were going to get it done,'' he said. "I'd walk away and it seemed like the gap between us was too wide, and there was no way we were going to get there. But it really is about spending time and seeing how you can solve problems, and watching how many different owners or players stepped up on a specific issue to say, 'Let's look at it this way, or what if we did this instead of that?''' Saturday also provided what I think many considered a signature moment of closure for the messy labor battle between the players and owners. Ten years from now, one of the few things we'll all remember about the NFL lockout of 2011 is the sight of the 6-2, 295-pound Saturday wrapping New England owner Robert Kraft in a hug -- a Colt and a Patriot, no less! He did so to salute Kraft's sacrifice and commitment throughout the process at the joint player-league news conference in Manhattan that announced the agreement. Kraft had three days earlier attended the funeral of his beloved wife, Myra, who had died of

107 cancer the previous week, and Saturday's act of humanity struck just the right conciliatory tone between the rival sides that were now once again business partners. "So many people gave so much of their time and energy, players and owners alike,'' Saturday said. "It was important to all of us. But the thing that separated Mr. Kraft for me in that moment was what he was going through with the loss of Myra. And that she had encouraged him to go to these meetings, that was the most impressive part to me. "Here's this lady who knows where she is, and she's fighting a good fight. But the reality is, she was fighting an uphill battle. Despite that, she would still encourage him to come work this deal, because she knew it was for the betterment of our game and our country. It was super impressive to me, and I know if I was in his place, I would have appreciated the gesture. It was heartfelt, and I meant it.'' Saturday's role in the CBA negotiations was largely a selfless one in many respects as well. As a 36-yearold veteran in the final year of his contract with the Colts, the only team he has ever played for, he wasn't likely to benefit much from a new labor deal. He was working on behalf of the NFL players to come, and the NFL players who had come before him. He could have easily said, as many league veterans in essence did, "Call me when this thing's over, I've already got my money. I'm set.'' But talk to anyone who knows Saturday, and they'll tell you that's not who he is, or what he's about. "I told my team when we started this thing, this really has no effect on me,'' Saturday said. "I'll play a year or two under this thing, but my contracts were well before it. I'm doing this to leave the game better than I found it. That was always a goal I had. I really felt strongly that the position of leadership I was in, and the career I had gave me some credibility. Not only to the players, but to the owners as well. And when you get in that position, I feel like you should be able to use it to help. "Going into the process, I realized really quickly how important this thing is, not only to players and owners, but to people outside of our game. My city in particular, with the Super Bowl coming up, there would have been consequences if we hadn't gotten a deal. When you just look at everything around our game and how good it is, and the impact people in the NFL make on their communities, to stop it, unless it absolutely had to be stopped, made no sense. I never saw a reason why we couldn't get something done that was fair for both players and owners.'' Peyton Manning's name might have been one of the most prominent on the lawsuit filed against the NFL by its players, but the reality is, it was Saturday, Manning's longtime friend and dependable center, whose fingers were all over this new labor deal. Not to mention the sweat equity and attention to detail he's known for. For a guy who owns a Super Bowl ring, has played in that game twice and been to more than his share of Pro Bowls, Saturday's most lasting contribution and legacy in the game might wind up being how he spent his long 2011 offseason. "I'm obviously very proud of where we are, and for the majority of men in this game, getting this deal done is even more impactful to players that I'll never meet compared to me winning a Super Bowl,'' Saturday said. "Don't ever underestimate the Super Bowl. That's why you play the game. "But I'm very proud of the deal that we put in place and I really do feel like our players will be better in the future for it, health wise, which is most important to me, and financially. These guys are going to make lots of money and be good football players for a lot longer than they have in the past because of the rules we have now. The game is going to be better because of this.''

108 Colts center takes break after labor negotiations By Michael Marot (AP) August 2, 2011 (two pages) ANDERSON, Ind. - Jeff Saturday spent the offseason working his second job. He flew from city to city, hotel to hotel, spending laborious days in nondescript meeting rooms, negotiating with team owners. For a 13-year veteran with three children at home, it wasn't an ideal summer. Still, Saturday felt compelled to do the heavy lifting for all those guys he represented, and he wound up making a difference -- a big difference. "Man, I think about the sacrifices he made," Colts defensive captain Gary Brackett said Tuesday. "You know, hearing him speak the day the agreement was signed about the responsibility Mr. Kraft had in getting this deal done, I think you really could really say that Jeff Saturday saved football, too." Saturday never missed a bargaining session, and now things may never be the same for the 36-year-old Pro Bowl. After spending most his professional career toiling in the long shadows cast by Peyton Manning, Dwight Freeney, Marvin Harrison, Edgerrin James, Bob Sanders and Reggie Wayne, Saturday has carved out his own niche on a team full of leaders. By thanking and hugging Robert Kraft, owner of the Colts' archrival Patriots, Saturday will forever be remembered as the face of the settlement., But for Saturday, it was never about fame. "There were a lot of things I went through during the negotiations and one of the main things is that when you advocate for other people, you really think about what you're fighting for," he said three days after players approved the new labor pact. "I think we got a fair deal." Colts players never doubted Saturday would know a fair deal when he saw one. Unlike many of today's best players, Saturday did not come into the league with a highly touted reputation. Baltimore signed him as an undrafted rookie in 1998, then cut him before training camp even started. Over the next seven months, Saturday managed an electrical store in North Carolina, hoping for a second chance. Indy signed the free agent in January 1999, and within a year, Saturday became the starting center. He's been an immovable object since, combining with Manning for a league record 172 career starts. What other players may not understand were the sacrifices Saturday made. He made sure there were workout rooms in the hotels or near them so he could stay in shape. He called his wife and children every day. He communicated regularly with Manning, his closest friend, and Brackett, the Colts' alternate player rep. He helped coordinate workouts for younger players and kept his teammates and those on other teams informed about the discussions. Those obligations left little time for Saturday to relax.

109 "It had to be horrible. His whole offseason and summer were taken away and he's the main guy for the whole league," safety Melvin Bullitt said. "With Jeff, you really can't say anything but `Thank you."' Saturday insists the process really wasn't that bad. "I would do it again," he said. "One thing I need to say is that my wife was awesome during this whole time. I have three kids at home and they can be a little rambunctious during summer vacation, so for her to run the house the way she did was phenomenal. It really allowed me to concentrate on what I was doing." No team is more grateful for Saturday's efforts than Indy. On Sunday, when the Colts held their first team training camp meeting at Anderson University, team officials a moment to thank Saturday publicly for his efforts. Not surprisingly, Indy's players responded with a loud, protracted round of applause, a moment Saturday described as endearing. "Jeff's not a rah-rah type guy, so just kind of gave us a nod," Brackett said. "But he did, as we said all along, for the past, present and future guys in this league. He was fighting for players he doesn't even know." While Saturday insists he did carve out time for his family and that he did have find ways to relax, he acknowledges, grudgingly, that it was mentally draining. That's one reason Colts fans have yet to see No. 63 wearing a helmet at camp. Coach Jim Caldwell believes players need to be fresh mentally and physically, and even though Saturday said he's in good shape, Caldwell wants to give him a little down time to make sure he's OK when the season starts. "We are going to kind of ramp him up just a little bit, give him time and put him in a position where he feels good about what kind of shape he's in," Caldwell said. "Because of the fact he has been so involved in the negotiations over the last month and a half, two months, we have talked to him about that, and I think you will see that as the week goes on." Caldwell hasn't said when Saturday will get back on the field, and teammates aren't worried about his absence. After all, aside from Manning, nobody knows the Colts playbook better than Saturday. And nobody is more eager to reap the benefits of the new labor pact than the guy who helped make it happen. "This is why you play," Saturday said. "I went to all of those meetings so I could come to these. This is what I wanted to do. I don't want to be in those meetings. I can tell you I would much rather be out on the field playing ball."

110 Colts center Jeff Saturday, leadership 'is in his DNA' By Mike Chappell - Indy Star July 31, 2011 (two pages) As the executive committees for NFL owners and players hop-scotched the country this summer trying to resolve what became a 41/2-month lockout, one figure seemed omnipresent. In one photo after another, one video clip after another, there was Jeff Saturday. The Indianapolis Colts' veteran center looked the part of arbiter, wearing a sport coat and toting a leather bag. Former teammate Ryan Lilja chuckled when it was mentioned the Colts' five-time Pro Bowler looked out of place in anything other than his No. 63 jersey. "We used to get on him and talk about political aspirations," Lilja said. "My hope is Jeff can springboard from his NFL career and his player representative career and succeed Mitch (Daniels) as (Indiana) governor." Casual talk in the offensive linemen's meeting occasionally turned to Gov. Saturday taking care of those closest to him. "Yeah, we used to joke with him about that," Lilja said. "Every so often he'd come back and say, 'OK, you're going to be the secretary of this and you'll be in charge of that.' "But all kidding aside, he's a guy who if you take a straw poll of guys in the league who know him and have been around him, he'd be good at leading just about anything." Part of the solution The owners' lockout of players threatened to disrupt the preseason, even the regular season. It had football fans across the country riled up. Labor peace was restored July 25 when the NFLPA's executive committee, of which Saturday is a member, and the player representatives from the 32 teams voted unanimously to endorse the new collective bargaining agreement. Owners had done likewise the previous week. As commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith held a joint news conference to discuss the resolution, Saturday stood in the background. At one point, he and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft shared an emotional hug. The end had come, and the influence of Saturday, Baltimore Ravens cornerback Domonique Foxworth and others was undeniable. "(Jeff) and Domonique were instrumental in that they were the two who were in every meeting," NFLPA president Kevin Mawae said. "I can't say enough about how they played a major part in all of it." Saturday insisted it was a shared venture. "I'm awfully proud of how hard everybody worked to get this done," he said. "It gives you a sense of relief and excitement that we get back to the business of football."

111 Saturday has deep ties to the players' union. He was the Colts' longtime player rep before moving up to the executive committee. He was certain he wanted to commit himself and his offseason to helping the NFL attain labor peace but also knew the decision wasn't his alone. His wife, Karen, would have to be on board. At home, there were the couple's three children to consider: Jeffrey, 10; Savannah, 8; and Joshua, 4. "They can be rambunctious," Saturday said. "My wife and I talked about it before this process began. She's been more than gracious, believe me. She really sacrificed and allowed me to be gone, sometimes two and three days a week. "She believed in what we were doing and honestly supported me wholeheartedly.... This was really a sacrifice for her." Always in the lead Saturday, who turned 36 last month as the labor talks began to pick up steam, always has displayed leadership qualities. He was vice president of his class in high school and captain of North Carolina's football team. It has been more of the same since 1999, when he signed with the Colts as a free agent. Saturday is a presence in the locker room and meeting rooms, and works in unison with quarterback Peyton Manning in making the proper pre-snap adjustments during games. "You lead by example," Saturday said, insisting that trait has been enhanced by playing under Jim Mora, Tony Dungy and current coach Jim Caldwell. It hasn't gone unnoticed. Owner Jim Irsay wasn't surprised that Saturday played such an integral role in the labor talks. "Jeff is as fine a person and player as I've met in 40 years," Irsay said. "He's a special guy, as special as it gets." Added Colts cornerback Jerraud Powers: "Everything you could desire as a leader, Jeff has it. Since the first day I stepped into the Colts facility, he's been one of those guys to stick his hand out and let the younger guys know if there was anything we need or he could do to help the transition, he was there." So, might Saturday's post-nfl career include politics? "I don't know, man," he said, laughing. "I really hadn't considered it." Well, consider it, Lilja said. Leadership, he said, "is in his DNA. That's his nature. He's a born leader. "Anything Jeff touches, he's going to do his best at it and he's going to leave a mark on it. To represent the players, you couldn't ask for a better guy."

112 Rucker happy to be around Colts Manning By Mike McLain - Tribune Chronicle July 12, 2011 (two pages) YOUNGSTOWN - The last thing that Chris Rucker wants to see is a disabled Peyton Manning when the Indianapolis Colts open training camp. As a rookie cornerback with the Colts, the Warren G. Harding graduate would like nothing better than to get a chance to line up against Manning and intercept one of his passes. Manning recently revealed that he's still bothered by a neck injury that required offseason surgery. "It's amazing to be around him," said Rucker, who was drafted in the sixth round out of Michigan State University. "Now to be on his team is amazing. I can't wait to be around him and see him in practice every day." In most years Rucker would be planning to join his new teammates for the start of training camp near the end of the month. This isn't a normal year. The lockout of NFL players by the owners has put the clamps on all offseason activity, with the exception of work done by the players on their time. It's not an easy situation for a rookie anxious to establish himself. Like every other player in the NFL, Rucker can't wait for the lockout to end so he can sign a contract and start the business of playing pro football. "I've been waiting to start," said Rucker at this year's Ursuline Football Camp, which concludes today. "It's been a long time since we actually got to play football. Maybe the next week or so things will be settled, and we'll get back to playing football." Rucker recently finished a stellar four-year career with the Spartans. Last season he was fifth on the team in tackles with 64 and was named All-Big Ten second team by "Rivals.com." Rucker didn't waste much time in making his presence known in East Lansing. He started four games and appeared in eight as a freshman in He was honorable mention All-Big Ten the next two seasons, when he was firmly established as a starter. What has to excite Colts' coaches is his 6-foot-2, 200-pound frame. Big corners with speed are in high demand on any level of play. "I'm more of a physical corner," he said. "I like to go against the bigger receivers. My size matches up with their size. I feel that will be a big advantage for me." Playing against the quality receivers in the Big Ten was a great proving ground. There weren't many weeks when Rucker could take it easy. "Week in and week out you played against a good team," he said. "A team with good receivers and good running backs. I think it really got me ready to take this next step."
