Jim Schwartz exaggerated only a little bit after being asked how much stock he puts into what he sees during the preseason.
"For a long time I was with Tennessee, and our biggest division rival was the Colts," the Eagles defensive coordinator said. "Every year the Colts would go 0-4 in the preseason. And if you said, 'Oh, they're going to be down this year,' you were on the wrong boat."
Schwartz never jumped off the SS Peyton Manning because he was sure the quarterback would captain the Colts to another successful voyage once the games had meaning.
