New faces dot Colts landscape

"  INDIANAPOLIS (AP) About the only thing that hasn't changed is the horseshoelogo.The Colts are adjusting to drastic moves as they go throughtheir first week of workouts. Among the new faces: general managerRyan Grigson, coach Chuck Pagano and offensive coordinator BruceArians.There's a new defense. The Colts will switch from a 4-3alignment to the 3-4 that Pagano had success with in Baltimore.There's a new attitude. The quiet Jim Caldwell has been replacedby the more outgoing Pagano, who has distributed T-shirts with thephrase ''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 theNew York Jets. That will change, too. The Colts are expected totake Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III with the No. 1 overall draftpick and start him.New faces, new schemes, and hopefully, new results after lastseason's 2-14 finish.''It's the mentality,'' said safety Tom Zbikowski, who playedfor Pagano in Baltimore. ''Either get with it or say goodbye.''Along with Manning, the team has released defensive captainsGary Brackett and Melvin Bullitt and former Pro Bowlers DallasClark and Joseph Addai. The Colts also lost longtime center JeffSaturday to Green Bay, emerging receiver Pierre Garcon toWashington and backup tight end Jacob Tamme to Denver in freeagency.Those losses don't mean the Colts are giving up. Defensive endRobert Mathis said he's too old to be part of a rebuilding projectand ''can't stand'' the term.''We're all professional football players,'' he said. ''I didn'tcome here to lose any games. I don't have rebuilding years in me.So you come to play.''Zbikowski doesn't care for the term, either.''I don't even know what those words mean,'' he said.The remaining Colts are ready to move forward.''I like the vibe here,'' linebacker Pat Angerer said.''Everybody is fired up and motivated. Everybody is excited.''Some players will have different roles. Mathis will be a standupdefensive end for the first time in his pro career.''But it's still being active and bringing the heat. It's stillthe same,'' he said. ''I feel like a freshman all over again. It isa lot more wide open than in the past. Everybody's excited andthey're ready to get going.''Mathis believes he and Dwight Freeney will excel like they didbefore in the old 4-3 defense.''We're football players, so we don't have any doubt we can dothis,'' he said. ''If there's anybody that has a chip on theirshoulders, it's us. So we've got to get it done.''Defensive end Corey Redding, who also played for Pagano inBaltimore, said his teammates are learning quickly.''They're soaking it up,'' he said. ''They are literallylearning right now, but it's just the tip of the iceberg. It'sabout learning the base. Right now, it's about work. It's gettinginto the playbook, learning the playbook, studying the playbook.It's about watching tape, watching film.''Mathis knows expectations will be the lowest since he joined theteam.''We've been counted out already, so you've just got to takethat and use it as positive motivation,'' he said.--Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/cliffbruntap"
