Tom Gower tells us what Indy needs to fix. Here’s a recap for non-insiders by Kuharksy
When the Colts and Manning do agree on a new deal, Indianapolis needs to figure out who will be playing around and in front of him. Reggie Wayne had another good year in 2010, but is 32 years old. When Marvin Harrison was 32, Wayne was around to help him carry the load — it’s not clear who might play that role for Wayne. Anthony Gonzalez seemed like he might be that player when the Colts made him a first-round pick in 2007, but he hasn’t been able to stay healthy, appearing in only three games in the past two seasons. Pierre Garcon started opposite Wayne, but put up below-average numbers and appears better suited as a complementary player (although he did give signs of hope by improving significantly in the final month of the season). Like Gonzalez, third wideout Austin Collie has serious injury issues after suffering multiple concussions in 2010.
