How does Philip Rivers command the offense?
Up until Saturday, the Colts hadn’t done any 11-on-11 work and most of the reps came through individual drills. But the padded practices will allow for more scrimmaging and physicality from both the offense and the defense.
This will give us our first look at what Rivers brings to the offense in terms of command and leadership. We know he has no issues barking out calls and changes at the line of scrimmage, but this will be the first time they go full bore in preparation for the season.
Colts fans should be excited to see Rivers under center as he presents an upgrade over Jacoby Brissett. How much of an upgrade that will be will begin to show during these padded practices.
