It seems there is good communication between head coach and GM now. Obviously before that wasnt the case at all. The staff as a whole seem more in sync.

And Pagano sucks.

If not for some bad luck and a cheating franchise, they easily could have been one.

Seems Frank Reich wanted Funchess per Zak Keefer:

I'm putting this lightly, but Frank Reich is **excited** to get Devin Funchess in his offense. When Chris Ballard asked for his interest in the wide receiver during free agency, Reich basically told him, "Go get him."

Rapoport had a quick interview with Ballard on his podcast. Ballard said what he's been saying for a while: with every player they bring in, the Colts have a plan to get them to their ceiling.

Reich knows exactly how he's going to use Funchess and the offense will have an easier picking up tough yards against man coverage this year.

Suffice to say, Reich loves what Devin Funchess offers his offense.

Break down of routes Funchess ran and Luck threw in 18.

Saw that, but didn’t want to make too much of those rates when we’re talking about sample sizes of 10 or fewer targets.

I agree, just found it interesting.

Interesting, out routes are some of the toughest throws to make. Good to have a big receiver to throw it too. Anyone know how he is catching over his shoulder?
