Young WRs getting it done

I don’t regret what I said a few weeks ago because quite honestly, what they are doing now is far superior to what they did in weeks one and two.

Manning and coach Jim Caldwell are happy, of course, but they want to temper the excitement, too.

“I’m really pleased with the plays they’re making, I think all of us are,” Manning said before earning a couple of laughs at his postgame news conference. “We just have to kind of take it step by step before we crown them quite yet. Sometimes we have to control you guys from blowing the egos up a little bit. It’s a learning process. We have played two unfamiliar opponents these last two weeks. Getting into the division starting this week, it’s important everybody’s on the same page.”

“It bodes well for them having a game like this but the thing is, they are still a long ways away,” Caldwell said. “I think it takes time to mature within this offensive scheme. They have been making some plays and everything is working well for them. There are still a lot of things for them to learn, a lot of things yet to be discovered for them. But they are the kind of guys that will keep working until they get it.”
