INDIANAPOLIS — Whetheru200b they've been here eight years, eight weeks or eight days, the veteran offensive linemen have been setting the tone this offseason for the Indianapolis Colts' new-look offense.
First-year head coach Frank Reich said on Wednesday, after the team wrapped up its second day of OTA practices at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center, that he's appreciated what the elder statesmen up front have brought to the huddle so far as the team continues through the offseason workout program.
"I mean, you know what we have been saying all along — it starts up front on both sides of the ball, and there just needs to be a mental toughness and a leadership of guys who are all in and guys who physically and mentally can do it play in and play out," Reich said.
