New faces dot Colts landscape

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Colts are adjusting to drastic changes as they go through their first week of workouts.

Among the new faces: general manager Ryan Grigson, coach Chuck Pagano and offensive coordinator Bruce Arians.

There’s a new defense. The Colts will switch to the 3-4 that Pagano had success with in Baltimore.

There’s a new attitude. The quiet Jim Caldwell has been replaced by the more outgoing Pagano, who has distributed T-shirts with the phrase “Building a Monster” emblazoned on the back.

And there are new players. Quarterback Peyton Manning is gone. The new No. 1 guy? Drew Stanton, who recently was traded from the New York Jets. That will probably change, too. The Colts are expected to take Andrew Luck with the No. 1 overall draft pick later this month.
