Rest The Key To Colts v Patriots
Tony Dungy knows that everybody wants to discuss next week's game at New England.
But when it comes to his team, thoughts of New England will be put on hold at least for a few more days.
Dungy wants the team to concentrate on getting some rest and sorting out injuries. He will also take a long look at some of the team's backup players.
"Our goal is to rest some people and to get some other guys, who don't normally work with the first group, to get them some work. A lot of times, those are guys that really will play bigger roles in the second half of the year," said the Colts coach.
The coaching staff is also spending the bye week trying to correct any trouble spots that may have cropped up so far this season. Bearing in mind that they are 7-0 they may not be that many.
"If we get as good as we can be and as efficient at what we do in practice each week, the games will take care of themselves," Dungy said. "Our preparation for New England will start next Wednesday....I've learned that you can't over-prepare for a team."
The Colts have not won in Foxboro since 1995 and have had their last two playoff appearances end at Gillette Stadium. The "Razor" holds painful memories for them.
